ABC Family Presents Another Miniseries Event

If, like me, you’ve been looking forward to ABC Family producing another refreshing miniseries after its success during the last two summers with Fallen, tonight is the night that will happen when Samurai Girl premieres.

Parts One and Two of the “Book of the Sword” air at 8pm EST tonight, followed by the two-parters “Book of the Heart” on Saturday and “Book of the Shadow” on Sunday, both beginning at 8pm.

I’ll admit that advance viewing of “Book of the Sword” has tempered my expectations of the miniseries somewhat — in other words, it ain’t no Fallen — but I still believe you can’t go too wrong with Jamie Chung‘s new gig this weekend. Pop some popcorn, kick off your shoes, and chill while letting your brains cells relax.

Check out the extended trailer below to help you decide whether or not to make the big three-night, six-hour plunge as 19-year-old Heaven (Chung) maximizes her sword-fighting skills and then goes after her wealthy adoptive father for killing her beloved brother, all while avoiding the lethal intentions of Japanese mafia-backed killer ninjas.

Certainly sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
