What was I going to say? Oh, yes. The Hong Kong manwha that's written (though not illustrated) by Louis Sha is noticeably better in terms of story and character than the stuff written by Tony Wong or Andy Seto, who both started as illustrators before becoming writers as well. Not that their stuff is bad, it's just not as good as Louis Sha's stuff. (I have the first volume of his novel, The Deer and the Cauldron -- must get the other two in the trilogy sometime.)

You most definitely have to get the rest of The Deer and the Cauldron :) And concentrate on the Condor Hero manwha released by COmicsOne (The Legendary Couple, Heaven Sword & Dragon Sabre) :)

Heaven Sword & Dragon Sabre is my favourite of the ones I've tried so far. (And I like Master No-Mercy. So sue me.) Legendary Couple is fun, but I don't like it quite as much. Storm Riders and Weapons of the Gods are ... decent, but not as good. Saint Legend is pure eye candy and drama. Though very pretty eye candy.
