The Assassin's Blade (2008)

Aka: Mo hup leung juk / The Butterfly Lovers / Jiandie

Don’t be fooled by the cover and blurb on the back like I was. TAB is a light and airy romance filled with some poor acting. A beautiful young woman dresses like a man to enter a school. The whole time she looks like a beautiful young woman dressed like a man. She ain't fooling anyone, I thought. Hmmm… never mind. It all came good by the end, but the journey to get there was bordering on teen romance. It feels like it was based on a teen manga. Here's the alternative cover, which suits the film a LOT more than the one I have.

2 butterflies and a doctor with twigs in his hair of 5
