Originally, Anita Mui was the first choice to play Xiangxue'er, and Stephen Chow was the first choice for the role of Bai Lang. However, they were unavailable, so Carina Lau and Steven Ma were cast instead.
In 2010, Young Pei-pei produced a remake, titled Entangling Love in Shanghai in English (the Chinese title remains the same).

gollark: IIRC it just uses a tree topology.
gollark: Doesn't that suffer horribly from netsplits?
gollark: I was looking at making it support networking together multiple skynet servers, for redundancy, but that never panned out because distributed systems design is very hard.
gollark: That was a feature meant to allow everyone basically the same access to information as skynet admins, but eh.
gollark: Apart from the ability to view past logs the Rust version is basically generally better.
