Handsome Siblings (Netflix Martial Arts Series) - 8.6/10 on IMDB

8.6/10 on IMDB

I started watching it a couple weeks ago and have burned through 26 episodes already.

Anyone else watching/enjoying it? Not sure what I want to discuss about it, but I'm curious as to if others like it. I was a little unsure in the first few episodes, but when it hooked me I've not looked back. Never watched anything like this before, and I've enjoyed every crazy second of it.



Trailer without English subtitles. The show has English ones on Netflix, but I hate spoilers.


Edit**

So I'm looking into it more and I see a review that says this..

" This Series beautifully renders Tony Wong from JadeMan Comic's Force of Buddha's Palm. The series follows the comics events very closely and i am now able to relive this exciting Tale with way more visual depth than i did when i first read the comics back in the 1980's. I was not aware this tale had already been made into several live action movies and TV series. Or if Tony Wong was the original author of the Tale. Awesome congratulations to the creators and Netflix where i found this. "

Haha, I asked for a slight title change.

The name of the show doesn't allude to what it is AT ALL. I skipped it myself a few times, then started it out of curiosity.

It's an absolute blast of crazy Martial Arts stuff.

This needs to be added to the OP I think. I randomly had a bunch of the JadeMan Comic's as a kid and they were absolutely nuts. Oriental Heroes, Blood Sword, Blood Sword Dynasty, and Force of Buddha's Palm were some of the coolest unknown comics I'd ever seen. Oriental Heroes was previously adapted into Dragon Tiger Gate (starring Donnie Yen) but I had no idea that another adaptation of a JadeMan comic had been made.

For any who aren't familiar... The JadeMan comics were Chinese Martial Arts comics. If I had to compare them to something, they'd be similar to say... Naruto or Dragon Ball in terms of special attacks/powers but they have adult characters instead of kids/teens.

Popped up on my netflix, had no clue what it was and ended up watching all 44 episodes...

Normally not my type of show, but I loved it. Anything else out there that is similar on Netflix?

Oh wow, thanks OP. Force of Buddha's Palm was my favorite comic when I was a kid. I will definitely watch this.

Ok so I watched the first episode and am slightly disappointed because I thought this was based on force of Buddha's palm but it's actually just based on Gu Longs novel, Juedai Shuangjiao. Which Buddha's palm is also based off of. So the plot is the same but my favorite character in the comic is Nine Continents who uses a shalion like martial arts based in Buddha's powers. This drama series, the character is based off the novel as Yan Nantian and is nothing like Nine Continents. Oh well, I think I will still watch it.

OP this is incorrect. It is not based on the comic, but the novel Juedai Shuangjiao

I didn't know this is based on that story, I love the comic adaptation when I was younger. Anyway, the title give me hope that this adaptation will stay focused on the sibling. I love the comic until it went on too long and focus more on their uncle rather than the sibling.

But the uncle (Nine Continents) is the best character in the story.

I skipped over it because it looked like the typical overly dramatic soap opera that Netflix produces. Given that you binged it OP, I MIGHT check it out.

Wuxia has always kinda bored me tbh.

Aren't most of their wartime political dramas propaganda? My father started sprouting some rubbish, like how the KMT were working with the Japanese during WW2 and how the CCP were the ones who were fighting against the KMT because they collided with the Japanese. I asked him where he got this info from because it sounds totally wrong. He sheepishly admitted it was from these kind of dramasšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø and I had to tell him that maybe he should watch other things instead.

I've seen this on Netflix while browsing, but I've skipped it as I've seen the Hong Kong version back in the 2000s, I think. Maybe I'll catch this new version when I have time.

I wish Japan wasn't so weird with their live action shows so we could get more in the west.
