Young Warriors of Yang Clan
Characters
This is not one man show movie, every casts has strong character with their uniqueness, and this movie is not only from one side viewing (Sung Dynasty) but also from Liao point of view. We’ll also see the good side of Yelu Xie as Liao, and actually the main antagonist character is not Yelu Xie, it’s Pan Ren Mei, from Sung.
Yang Wu Lang, the fifth son of Yang who beat Yelu Xie on a duel and also fall in love with the same girl with Yelu Xie, Miss Kuan who the next became Yang Wu Niang. The wives of Yang’s brothers is using Niang after the number of the Son. (eg : the wife of Yang Yi Lang called Yang Yi Niang, the wife of Yang Er Lang called Yang Er Niang).
Yang She Lang, the fourth son of Yang who disappear during the war against Liao when he was a child is not mentioned at the beginning of this series. He appears when Yang Ye announced Yang Soldiers recruitment.
Yang Liu Lang, the sixth son of Yang who has many tricks and could invented many things, he’s also divined as Liao destroyer.
Yang Chi Lang, the seventh son or the youngest son of Yang. He’s accused of killing Pan Bao, the only son of Pan Ren Mei. At the first time he has relationship with Xiao Lin, a Liao girl who has hypnotized ability. Xiao Lin is commit suicide because her sister and her friend is sentenced to death by Taizong Emperor. Then he mets Tu Ching Er, who has same face as Xiao Lin.
Yelu Xie, Liao’s grea t general who has scar on his face caused by Yang Wu Lang. Actually he is a romantic person and from the Liao’s point of view, he’s the person who love his country and Liao’s people. He has great ambition to defeat Yang Family.
Pan Ren Mei, an Emperor officer who has deep malicious to Yang Family, his son Pan Bao was dead on the duel against Yang She Lang and Yang Chi Lang, actually his son is death because he consumes drug. He’s using the death of the son to defeat Yang Family.
Yang Ye, the head of Yang Family is a great general who loved by the Emperor, he has high dedication to the Emperor and for the Sung dynasty. With his wife, She Sai Hua he raised their eight children. Sometimes he looks that he more cared to the Emperor than to his family.
The Women, every Yang Son has a love story with a woman, Yang Liu Lang with the weapon maker Miss Kuan (next Yang Wu Niang) , Yang She Lang with a doctor Miss Luo (next Yang She Niang), Yang Liu Lang has a great adventure with his crush, Princess Chai (next Yang Liu Niang), He also loved by Pan Ren Mei’s daughter, Pan Yin, and the young Yang Chi Lang has love experience with Xiao Lin and then he met Tu Ching Er (next Yang Chi Niang). Other character is the little Yang Pa Mei, the youngest and the only sister of Yang, she’s very clever and love her brothers.
For me, it’s very good wuxia series. Actually I ever watched the story about Yang Family titled Yang’s Saga, it has similarity with this series. I see many famous actors and actresses who plays at Yang Saga (Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Miu Kiu Wei, Felix Wong, Chow Yun Fat, etc) the differences between two stories is Yang Saga contains the story about god and godess. There’s also the other version of this movie titled Warriors of The Yang Clan, played by Alec Su,year released 2004. But 2006 or this version is better. I watch the beginning of 2004 version, I saw that this story is only focused to Yang She Lang. Before I watch this series I watched Legend of the Condor Heroes / She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan 2008 version (I already made review about it) many cast also played at LOCH such as : Hu Ge played as Yang Liu Lang and Guo Cin, Justin Yuan played as Yelu Xie and Yang Kang, Liu Shi Shi played as Yang Shi Lang and Mu Nien Ci, Weng Jia Ming played as Yang Ye and Yang Xie Tin, Li Jie played as Emperor Taizhong and Ouyang Ke, Deng Li Min played as Pan Ren Mei and Ke Zhen E (one of the Seven freak from the South), also Ba Yin as Tien Ling and Temujin. Yang Liu Lang and Guo Cin is two different character played by Hu Ge, but Yelu Xie has similarity with Yang Kang.
STOP ! It contains spoiler !!!
This wuxia series, The Young Warriors of The Yang Clan is recommended to watch. It has the sequel titled Young Heroine tells about Yang’s wife who became a widows after their husbands was dead on the war against Liao. Yang Shi Lang was dissapeared (again) and lost his memories then he became the husband’s of Liao Princess, Yang Wu Lang who feel guilty because he’s not take a part of the war against Liao became a priest and leave his wife. Yang Chi Lang also dead on the war against Liao. Yang Heroine tells about the grown up Yang Pa Mei. I haven’t watch that series and honestly I’m not interested to watch.
