I think I must have watched too much old shows, in "rincess Chang Ping" and "Chronicles of the Shadow Swordman", both of them said the same sentence.
In "rincess Chang Ping" it was Michelle's character that said "It is better not to meet then to meet" (direct translation) and in "Chronicles of the shadow swordsman", it was Damian's character that said the exact same words。
No wonder whenever I watch the show, I had that feeling that that sentence sounded very familiar.
