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……”

看完整部剧，最大的感触就是，人生的际遇真的很奇妙，很多时候你无法主宰命运的安排，尽管我不是一个宿命论者。比如剧中的韩柏，他的一生跟《天龙八部》中的虚竹很相似。都是从一个默默无名的小卒开始，结果却被命运主宰，成为一代顶尖高手，并背负起民族的责任。还有风行烈，他注定要领导蒙古人与汉人一较高下，尽管他的内心善良而宽广。

要说我最喜欢的人物，当属风行烈。这个男人集众多优点于一身：他重感情，最初坚贞不渝的爱着冰云，直到几次被欺骗，终于发现冰云爱的人不是他自己，才衷心的给她祝福，后来对梦瑶也是深情不改，当梦瑶举剑刺向他时可避而不避，就算是差点死去也不改对梦瑶的爱，虽然为了得到覆雨剑利用梦瑶，但是当他手下欲加害梦瑶得到的答复是：“无论如何，绝对不可以伤害梦瑶一分”！他很有责任感，当知道自己的民族同胞以前被迫害的真相之后，他宁愿牺牲自己的很多东西也要带领自己的族人去推翻朱元璋的统治，建立一个理想中的大同世界；他善良而心胸宽广，当看到战争使得生灵涂炭民不聊生，当他看到燕王心怀仁政将成为一代明君的时候，他决定用自己的失败来换取两个民族的和平和安乐。

本剧的众多演员的表演都相当不错，尤其是林峰、佘施曼，以及饰演庞斑的郭政鸿，演技都很突出。

看过原著印象最深的是浪翻云，即不翩翩风度俊美如玉，也不花言巧语善解人意，有的只是一个外表平凡的大叔，确是真性情不做作的汉子。反观最是厌恶书中的韩柏，莫名其妙集万千宠爱，百般奇遇，偏偏又是个登徒子而不自知。

但这部电视剧却让我爱上了韩柏。布衣推柴车，高歌竹林中，那个少年的影子已经深深的印入我心中。一身白衣的俊朗非凡，酒醉后陀红的双颊迷离的眼神，起色心时的鬼灵精怪，被复仇蒙蔽了心智后凌厉的气势，我可以毫不犹疑地说，韩柏，绝对是此剧的最大亮点。

至于风行烈？对不起，实在欣赏不来此类所谓情种深种之人。

是部值得一看的片子，每个角色个性都很鲜明
特别喜欢结局，没有战争，没有杀戮，happy ending

这部剧让我彻底喜欢上林峰，林峰的风行烈可以说得上是集霸气腹黑仁义痴情飘逸于一身的完美男子汉，想不爱都不行。导演让我很佩服，不是佩服他有才，而是佩服他的胆量，什么都敢拍，比如民族纷争这种台词就这么赤裸裸直白白的放出来，难道不怕那威严的广电总局给您和谐掉么？现在还能从网上找到种子真是广电不知道发了什么善心了。这也是一个经典电视剧，立意于民族纷争和大同世界的理想，没有设定单纯的好人与坏人，只设定了不同的立场，将各种矛盾娓娓道来。就算是汉人，马奶酒初喝觉得腥，喝久了就会喜欢上。用一个辩证的眼光看待对敌的双方，其实哪方都是没有错的。正道中人说庞班坏，但是蒙古人把他当英雄，他为了救风行烈牺牲了自己以命换命，正道中人有的优点他都有，他的缺点正道中人未必没有，所谓的善与恶其实只是只在人言，大家民族立场不同而已。所以看剧的时候我总觉得风行烈这个大魔头对他的正道朋友仁至义尽，他的正道朋友却对他赶尽杀绝，至死不肯谅解他，仅是个人看法。剧中有一句台词让我印象很深刻，“其实，这都是源于一条僵化的法令“，很深刻的台词启人深思，不记得谁说的了。TVB的厉害之处就是能将虚幻武侠剧与现实联系起来，想想前段时间的昆明恐怖事件，人们的各种反应，真是有种眼熟的感觉。最后风行烈与韩柏的决斗安排在军人冢进行，不得不佩服导演的构思巧妙，将整部剧化作一首悲壮的战歌。大家都是追求和平，为什么不能退一步和平共处？因为国仇家恨，战争已打响，谁退了谁就是狗熊，这就是军人的战歌。中间情节相比于正宗斗心眼玩权术的剧来说有些幼稚，却突出了武侠剧的悲壮和人性理想化后的唯美，人物行为尽显侠着豪放品行和仁义情怀，这大概也是武侠剧一直以来可以打动我的原因。

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...

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。
