Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Eight Immortals are staples of Chinese folk religion, each symbolizing a different life circumstance or social class—this series crams centuries of oral tradition into melodramatic gold.
Roger Kwok was primarily known for comedic roles before this; his casting as the melancholic Han Xiangzi confused Hong Kong audiences so much it actually worked.
