The Legend of Sword and Fairy was a classic wuxia TV series that was once popular among the audience. There were many reasons for remaking classic films and television works.

This kind of cultural symbol and audience group was difficult to completely replace by new creations. On the other hand, classic films and television works often had extremely high production standards and artistic value. Remake required a lot of time and energy to restore the classic scenes and create classic characters, which was a huge challenge for the production team. Therefore, many remakes could not be compared with the original works, which also led to the poor effect of remakes of classic films and television works. In addition, the characters and plots in the classic works had become a cultural symbol and historical heritage. Remake works needed to respect history and cultural traditions, otherwise it might cause unnecessary controversy and misunderstanding. Therefore, the production team needed to spend a lot of time and effort to ensure that the remake was similar to the original but did not violate the intellectual property and historical value of the classic film and television work.

The audience and production team had their own preferences and standard remakes could not meet the needs of all parties. At the same time, the remake had to respect historical and cultural traditions, intellectual property rights, and historical value in order to gain the recognition and support of the audience and production team.
