Unlike earlier adaptations that took major liberties (e.g., the 2008 version giving Yang Kang more romantic screen time or altering key deaths), the 2017 script follows the source material closely. Major plot beats — the Seven Freaks of the South vs. Mei Chaofeng, Guo Jing’s growth under the Seven Heroes, the rivalry with Yang Kang, the martial arts contests on the prairie — are all faithfully rendered.
