Nam De Bac Cai is one of TVB's supposed "prequel" as you will for Legend of the Condor Heroes. I call supposed because there was no written novel on it, the TVB simply decide to make a series on the 5 Greats in LOCH and how they came about. There were 3 series made. Mystery of the Condor (Cuu Am Chan Kinh), Rage and Passion (Vuong Trung Duong) and Condor Heroes Return (Nam De Bac Cai).
Cuu Am Chan Kinh is about Dong Ta and Tay Doc. Vuong Trung Duong is about Vuong Trung Duong and Lam Trieu Anh. Nam De Bac Cai is well duh, Nam De and Bac Cai.
Note: Condor Heroes Return is not the same as Return of the Condor Heroes ok.
Nam De Bac Cai just simply makes up a story on how they became greats. Ekin Cheng plays Nam De and Marco Ngai plays Bac Cai. Wayne Lai plays Chau Ba Thong.
You see Hong 7 Cong when he is young and how he became leader of Beggar Union. And Nam De Doan something become king, Chau Ba Thong having affair with the queen, and Nam De turning into a monk.
Basically the three series are to answer some people's questions on how the LOCH greats started out. It is just a TVB creation, but at least some version is better than no version.
