新白娘子传奇 - New White Serpent Tale Ep. 01 (1 of 5)

This is a pretty old and famous drama. In short, it's about this snake demon that falls in love with a little boy who saves her. She wants to repay him but is unable to gain human form until 1700 years later. When she does, she finds and falls in love with the reincarnation of the boy that saved her. The second part of the story is about her son as he tries to save his mother from a tower prison. I used to like it a lot when I was a kid, maybe not as much as Journey to the West but close. Now that I watch it again it's kinda scary. I don't know why so many of the male roles are played by women or why the father and the son are played by the same actress but enjoy.
