Jin Yong's novels had been adapted into many TV series. The difficulty of adapting each work was different. However, from the point of view of respecting the original work,"The Deer and the Cauldron" might be the most difficult work to adapt Jin Yong's novel into a TV series. The Deer and the Cauldron was one of Jin Yong's most famous novels and one of his representative works. The novel was set at the end of the Ming Dynasty and told the story of Wei Xiaobao, a smart and versatile Jianghu character. Even though the plot of the novel was compact and there were many characters, it was indeed very difficult to adapt the TV series. First of all, the plot in the novel was scattered and many of the plots were independent. Therefore, adapting it into a TV series required a high level of screenwriting. Secondly, there were many descriptions of Wei Xiaobao in the novel, such as his intelligence, wit, humor, greed and lust. These characteristics needed to be appropriately expressed in the TV series without affecting the theme and plot of the original novel. Finally, because there were many characters in the novel and the TV series could only shoot for a limited time to present each character, it was necessary to carefully shape and express each character while maintaining the cohesiveness and logic of the overall plot. Therefore, it was very difficult to adapt 'The Deer and the Cauldron' into a TV series. It required the efforts and cooperation of the scriptwriter, director, and actors to present a high-quality work.
There are many TV series based on Jin Yong's novels, but which one fits the original work best is a very subjective question because everyone's taste and standards are different. However, in general, the classic scenes and characters in Jin Yong's novels would be adapted into television dramas. However, some television dramas were more loyal to the plot and character settings of the novel on the basis of restoring the original work, so they were favored by readers and audiences. If you want to choose a TV series that is most in line with the original work, I think that the TV series "Dragons and Demons" is a good choice. First of all, the scenes and costumes were very focused on restoring the original work, especially in terms of shooting techniques and special effects. Secondly, the cast of the show was strong, and the performances of the leading characters, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu, were also recognized. In addition, the play also restored some of the classic plots in the novel, such as the story of Zi, the dialogue between Duan Zhengchun and the emperor of Dali, etc., which were very consistent with the spirit of the original work. Of course, other than " Demigods and Dragons ", there were also many other classic TV series from Jin Yong's novels, such as " The Deer and the Cauldron,"" The Smiling Proud Jianghu,"" The Return of the Condor Heroes," and so on. Each TV series had its own unique style and expression, which could be chosen according to one's preferences.
There were many TV series based on Jin Yong's novels, but the degree of classics varied according to the audience and region. However, if one had to pick the most representative TV series, it would be the 1994 Hong Kong TVB-TV series," Demigods and Semi-Devils." The play was directed by Jin Yong himself as the screenwriter, Yang Jie. The play narrated the love story between Emperor Duan Yu of Dali Kingdom, Monk Xuzhu, and Nun Zi of Nanhua Temple during the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as their conflicts with the major sects in Jianghu. The performance of the cast, Yang Jie, Zhang Zhilin, Zhong Lidi, Li Zi, and other actors was also praised. The drama received high ratings during the broadcast period and became a classic of Hong Kong TV dramas. To this day, Tian Long Ba Bu was still one of Jin Yong's most popular novels.
Jin Yong was a famous Chinese martial arts novel. His works enjoyed a high reputation and influence worldwide. Jin Yong's plays were adapted from his works. It was a controversial issue as to which remake of Jin Yong's drama was most suitable for the original work because different people might have different definition and standards for the original work. Generally speaking, the closer the adaptation is to the original work, the more it fits the spirit and style of the original work. However, if the adaptation is excessive or does not conform to the original work, it may also be criticized. Among Jin Yong's works, some TV series were more successful in their adaptation, such as " Tianlong Ba Bu "," Lu Ding Ji ", etc. These TV series were relatively close to the original work and could better show the plot and characters in the novel. And some TV series were more serious, such as "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and other TV series. The adaptation of these TV series was quite different from the original, and it was difficult to reach the height of the original. To answer this question, one needed to evaluate the book according to the preferences of different audiences and readers, as well as the definition of the original work. However, generally speaking, those TV series that respected the original work and dug deep into the plot and characters of the novel were closer to the original work, allowing the audience to better understand and appreciate the plot and characters in the novel.

Jin Yong's novels had become one of the treasures of Chinese culture, and Jin Yong's novels had also been adapted into many television dramas. Each version of the TV series had its own characteristics and audience. It was difficult to say which version was the best. However, some viewers might think that Zhang Jizhong, the actor of Jin Yong's novel and TV series, was the best. The production of the drama was meticulous in terms of the scenes, costumes, special effects, etc., and the performances of the actors were also excellent. In addition, the music of the play was also outstanding, giving the audience a good viewing experience. In addition, the audience might also think that Chen Yanxi, the actress of Jin Yong's novel and TV series, The Return of the Condor Heroes, was the best.

There were many types of martial arts in Mr. Jin Yong's novels, and the martial arts that were difficult to practice were also different. However, if one had to choose the most difficult martial arts, it would be the "Carefree Sect Martial Arts" in the "Eight Dragons". The martial arts of the Carefree Sect originated from Taoism, which pursued the realm of freedom under the guidance of nature. This kind of martial arts was free from restrictions. It required not only deep internal strength, but also superb martial arts skills and philosophical thoughts. The martial arts of the Carefree Sect were extremely difficult to practice. One needed to cultivate hard for a long time to gradually master the essence. In the novel, Wuyazi and Youtanzhi, the founders of the Carefree Sect martial arts, finally understood the essence of the Carefree Sect martial arts after decades of arduous cultivation. Therefore, the Xiaoyao Sect martial arts was considered one of the most difficult martial arts in Jin Yong's novels. Not only did it require extremely high internal strength and martial arts skills, but it also required profound philosophical thinking and long-term accumulation.
Jin Yong himself did not directly describe missions, but his novel characters often involved missions. If one had to say that the mission that was closest to Jin Yong's original form was probably Medicine Master Huang in The Return of the Condor Heroes. Huang Yaoshi was a famous martial artist. His sect was called Peach Blossom Island. His martial arts were very good. He was known as "Eastern Evil". There were many excellent martial artists among his disciples. In the novel, Huang Yaoshi would often be involved in some missions such as finding secret manuals, protecting important people, etc. The plot and development of these missions were very similar to Jin Yong's life and experiences.
Jin Yong's novel was a very popular martial arts novel that had been made into many movies and TV dramas. Because each version had its own unique style and characteristics, it was difficult to say which actor's character was the most suitable for the original.
