What, when, where and who
Raymond Lam was poisoned in the beginning of the story, that's why he came to seek for Rain Li's master's help. As his journey begins, he was encountered the affairs in the martial world and meets the two women who loved him most deeply.

Rain Li is the quiet, nice girl; Michelle is the cruel, selfish but very lovely character, because she loves Raymond so very much that she dies because of him. As for Raymond, he loves Rain Li at first, because she is the nice one. But, at the same time, he build a great relationship with Michelle, but he did not realized he loves her until the moment she dies...

THE FACTORS
- Dislike Factor
Rain Li's Kuk Chi Wah
I don't think she can act, her acting skills were not very good at all. Also, in the novel, this girl suppose to be a very strong character, but Rain Li made the character so weak, which was very disappointing. Plus, she has no chemistry with Raymond at all, they might look good as a real couple, but on screen, it was not good. Maybe because of Michelle's character, her character has so much more chemistry with Raymond...

Evil Meng Shen Tung
He is evil, he is selfish, he kills too many people, he wants to reach the top, he is Rain's father. Basically, you will hate him

The hair style
Ok, the story sets in the Qing Dynasty, but how come some of the characters' hair looks like it was Song Dynasty? Also, Raymond's hair is too long, it got to go!

- Love Factor
Michelle Yip
You might think her character is very selfish, well, she loves Raymond way too much, and she did not want Raymond to leave her and be with Rain, so she will do anything or say anything to keep him, you can't blame her on that, in fact, you will totally support her. You also might think she is cruel, yeah, at the beginning, she does lots of cruel things, but ever since she falling love with Raymond, she did nothing against him, in fact, she does everything to protect him including dying for him! This is the character you will love and remember for a while...

The chemistry between Michelle and Raymond
If you saw Eternal Happiness, you will think Raymond and Michelle together on screen was good. After you saw this series, you will think their chemistry was perfect. Even though, in this series, Raymond may not love Michelle until the very last moment in the very last episode, but their chemistry still rocks the entire series and make the story a lot less boring. The reason is that Michelle loves Raymond too much, you will totally touched by her character, totally support her love for Raymond

Mimi Lo's Lee Sum Mui and Chan Kwok Bong's Kong Nam
Here comes the funny characters of the series, this couple makes the whole series very fun to watch. Everytime you see them together, or Mimi Lo by herself or Chan Kwok Bong by himself, you just want to laugh so bad.

- Pity Factor
Michelle Yip's Lai Shing Nam and the Ending ==> get ready your tissues
Basically, she died in her wedding day to prove her love to Raymond... OK, if you did not see the ending yet, I do not recommend you to read this paragraph... Well, in episode 19, Michelle's true identity was revealed, and Raymond finally realized she is a killer, of course he was mad, and he slaps her, and she is like, "you will regret this for the rest of your life!". In episode 20, Michelle's boss wants Michelle to kill Raymond, and she agrees. She disrupts the wedding of Mimi Lo and Chan Kwok Bong, and poisoned Rain Li, she told Raymond, the only way he wants to save Rain is to marry Michelle! OK, in their wedding, Michelle was wearing white dress, and Raymond realized Michelle was dying... Michelle told him, that she will never do anything to against him. She takes the risk to kill her boss, but was injured deeply, before she died, she just wants to be Raymond's wife, that is her only wish, that's why she poisoned Rain and that was the only way Raymond can marry her... Raymond felt so sad, and he finally realized he loves Michelle very deeply and willing to spent his life with her...

- How Come Factor
The Title
This is called "Lofty Waters Verdant Bow", so you will assume there must be something to do with the verdant bow. However, you only get to see the verdant bow once, and about five minutes, that is when Raymond uses the verdant bow to go through the traps and get the kung fu book. It was short, and I don't think that part was a key element to the story, so why uses the verdant bow as the title? What is that has to deal with the story?

Best Scenes
1. Some of the fighting scenes, those special effects were pretty cool. Also, there are lots of flying going on, hehe...
2. Whenever Raymond and Michelle together, especially the time they spent together in the island
3. Raymond and Michelle's weddings, they have two. The first time, it was fake, Raymond keeps telling Michelle, "it's fake, don't get real" while they getting married. The second time, it was for real, Michelle forces Raymond to marry her, way to go, girl! But, she dies in her wedding day, that is when Raymond finally realized how much he loves her...
4. Whenever Mimi Lo and Chan Kwok Bong together, they are so cute and so funny as individual and as a couple.
5. There is a guy, who likes Mimi at the beginning, but he is way too "knowledgeable", everytime you see him, he is making poems, it was really funny to watch this guy and his attitudes...
6. Fiona Yuen's Kam Yee and her chemistry with that Hiu Fung. Those two might not look so "fit" on screen, but you will appreciate how Hiu Fung won Kam Yee's heart.

THE COMMENTS
- The Performances
This award totally belongs to Michelle Yip, ever since Eternal Happiness, she is just getting better and better, and you will just like her more and more. She even improves on her crying skills, check her character's dying scene in episode 20, you will know what I am talking about... As for Raymond, it is just the same old Raymond you saw in Eternal Happiness, at the beginning, he is dumb, later, he gets smarter, but he got stuck in between two girls who love him the most... As for Rain Li, she still needs improvement, I didn't like her character, her acting, and her chemistry with Raymond... The supporting roles, Mimi Lo and Chan Kwok Bong both did a great job, you might see this two more often, I think TVB should promote them more... Also, Fiona Yuen's performances were great as well... As for the villains, none of them were great, so no words on that

- The Storyline
I didn't really expect this story to be pretty fun to watch. The storyline was simple, but it was good, it has it's sad moments, and also has lots of funny scenes. However, there were some little parts, where you just did not care at all, for example, whenever Raymond and Rain together

- Worth Watching?
If you are a Michelle or a Raymond fan, this is the series you have to see! Even though if you are not a fan of theirs, you still want to give this series a try, and you might became a fan of theirs...

说实话很讨厌佘诗曼里面的角色，自以为是的是为了国家为了武林什么的，然后觉得自己杀的都是什么魔道什么的、但是在他自己杀人的时候呢。杀得那么爽快的，然后就看的很不爽，不知道为什么，就是很不爽，不舒服。
但是很喜欢林峰在里面的角色，的确是这样，家国的担压在自己的身上。整个族的希望。那么的深那么的无可奈何。不知道能怎样。只能挑起担子面对自己的责任。其实这样才是正。不是么。
正邪不两立可是什么是正，什么又是邪么。这里，只是认为自己对的就是正 的。其实只是各自有各自的目标而已，没有办法的。

到最后还是不喜欢西面 的这个梦瑶很讨厌。但是很喜欢庞班，很喜欢风行烈。

黄易已经不是武侠的概念了。
如果金庸古龙尚算新派武侠，黄易则已经开始了其玄幻尝试。
武在其中已不尽重点，侠更谈不上。也没有一个完整的武侠世界观，其中很多纯YY的东西属于在金庸的“左右互博”基础上更进一步。已经禁不起YY了。

但是，他是在报纸连载的模式中，给后续的青年作家们开创了一条新路的男人。

港式的漫画风格与黄易的写作及其接近——故事梗概类似于超级赛亚人，超超级赛亚人，超超超级赛亚人；主角线条基本明朗可靠，王八之气满槽随时释放；后宫情节严重；招式爱借鉴佛道两宗名词，爆发出屠户级的实力…
而且最大的特点是——连载风强烈扑鼻……

金庸、梁羽生也是连载作者出身，但是大多在写作之前就有总纲，大体不脱略把控，写毕还间或三修其稿。黄易和港漫则统统是连载流，先开个头等编辑认可，就天马行空，不知何时能揽回缰绳。中长篇尚可，《大唐双龙传》邪门到了连载五年半不止，出册足有64卷，写毕就开新连载的地步…
作为一个期间无数槽点错略的作品，黄易拿出了他艺术家的派头——爱咋咋地。

超级战士、星际浪子…更是YY流的先锋开篇之作。毫无科幻小说眉眼（无科之幻）…
不过现而今的网络小说，倒是有三分之一仍在沿用他老人家的各种概念开端，不停的“游戏化”一个故事…当然，现在的网络作品烂，也是和他老人家开的这个头不好有直接关系…

黄易大略像是港式的丝袜奶茶。带一点点暧昧，其实细读也没什么。确也给销量带来了好处，不过没那个丝袜，也一样能卖不少。但是说离了他，没什么不行。也不指望有营养、味道香、绕地球三圈半什么的…而且丝袜奶茶就是丝袜奶茶，没什么可以配搭的。不过是加糖多少的区别。

金庸则是广式的烧腊，非老师傅做不得的味道，上钉耙的斜眼都要讲究个角度，灌好风干是最入味的那一刻。借其做菜烧饭，取味之十一即足以扑满口香。且时未能见，必思之念之。与人谈起，口水止不住的下滴。

覆雨翻云刚播时我是初一还是六年级，如今已是大学狗，突然想起这部tvb剧，加上又有我支持多年的林峰和佘诗曼，于是我走上了贴吧找片的路子，在云盘下载了整部片40集，用5天看完了。
整部片子回首起来，剧情不会太引人入胜（小编没看过原著，小说粉轻喷）。相比起同是黄易，同是tvb录制的大唐双龙传，覆雨翻云的剧情略逊，整部剧在虐观众，但结局却是圆满结局，足以满足观众胃口，大唐的结局让很多观众咬牙切齿。
人设方面，个人认为有成功的也有失败的。首先，风行烈这个角色有人说太柔，林峰不适合，我则觉得风行烈这个角色不只有柔，这个角色对演员要求太高了，有柔又刚，有假有真，有悲伤至极也有乐极忘形，林峰可以说演得没什么破绽，算是比较成功的了。另外是黄宗泽的韩柏，是我认为选人最好的之一，黄宗泽把韩柏的傻，忠，正演绎得淋漓尽致，既把前期的傻表现出来，又在后面成为大将军时的演绎发挥到极致，不失霸气。佘诗曼的秦梦瑶我就不多说了，毕竟是粉，肯定支持她啦，不过那时候的阿佘演古装剧确实是个大美女。还有一个配角我觉得无论导演选人选的好，演员也不负众望，他就是麦包的燕王朱棣，很有仁者风范，也很霸气。
剧情方面，给我最大震撼的是风行烈，有人会恨他，而我，更多的是心疼，他太不容易了，自出生起就背负着常人无法想象的责任，他无论做了多少正派人认为坏的事情，他的心一直没变，一直是一个睿智，正直，顾全大局，能担当大任的汉子，因此我欣赏他。
还要提的是配乐，还是比较成功的，至少在我看来，连插曲“领会”都那么好听，好柔。主题曲“出鞘”第一次听不感冒，随着越听越多，越觉得有味道。“手轻按刀上，无奈各背负了那不变立场，尽了千杯了恩义，既是男儿绝对未退让……”

话说黄易的书在寻秦记以后数度被TVB搬上荧幕
可能是先入为主 我还是最喜欢寻秦记 接下来应该是大唐
不过喜欢大唐是觉得里面的cast很强大 而且很符合我喜欢的武侠类型 好喜欢师妃暄呀 头子真美 不过伍姑娘的扮相也不错 那时候看了不喜欢绾绾 不过貌似很多人都喜欢胡定欣
呃 跑题了
这片子我就看到sonija死了就没接下去看
raymond和bosco是现在TVB比较当红的两位 怎么说 剧情有点囧 不是我喜欢的 陈敏之和我们sonjia是老友 但是我就是觉得她措其
庞教主和我家sonija那段恋情算是个看点 虽然sonija和raymond不配 但是还是希望这对有个正果啊
怎么说呢 一般般 最主要措其佘诗曼

刷完了覆雨翻云 好看 主角团全员HE 全盛期的tvb尽管对原著大刀阔斧但剧情还是环环相扣 庞班（郭政鸿）和浪翻云（姜大卫）二人不愧武学宗师 郭羡妮难得有个人设讨喜的角色 康华没火起来真是天理难容 麦长青的朱棣也令人印象深刻

秦梦瑶这个角色真正是太像周芷若了（还都是佘诗曼演的），都在慈航静斋（峨眉）长大，师父偏爱，师父以前有个很喜欢的师姐靳冰云（纪晓芙），可惜的是被魔头庞班（杨逍）迷惑，脱离正道。没想到乖巧的二徒弟也喜欢上了魔教的扛把子风行烈（张无忌） 而且还在一个小高潮刺了爱郎一剑 刺得重伤。

我最爱的cp是这对 他们现实生活中也是夫妻哦

最近才把覆雨翻云真正地从头到尾看完了， 或许很多人不喜欢这部改自黄易小说的电视剧，但看完的感觉还不错，没有看过原著小说，所以现在阐述的是从电视剧中得到的感受，因为喜欢林峰看了这部电视剧，看完后再次沦陷，果然还是很喜欢他塑造的角色。风行烈，一个蒙古皇裔，重情重义的男子，机智，英勇却不失温柔，永远希望和平，减少杀戮，大家安安稳稳得过日子，很大同的思想。义是武侠英雄都不愿放下的，可是当命运把人推到悬崖边上，人就会很无奈得要做出自己的决定，可能那不是愿意做的，当风云汹涌的时候，想要改变，代价太高，看着身边的人一个一个离去，走到浪尖，真的很辛苦。情也是武侠剧中不可少的部分，风行烈之前对冰云的迷恋，后来对梦瑶的爱恋，一切都是付出，或许真正爱一个人就是愿意为她付出所有吧，即使被伤了一次又一次也无所谓，爱情总是那么美好，在一切还不知道的时候，没有立场的对立，一切都会平凡而顺利，不过真正的爱是要经历考验的，在经历一切后，爱情也会变得淡定，心累了，不想再去理一切江湖朝廷事，只做自己，只为自己，自私一次，那种每天能跟喜欢的人驰骋大漠的平静生活更让人向往，隐归山林是英雄最好的结局。
