"Your boyfriend is evil!" "Your boyfriend is cruel and horrifying!" Well, he's a joy to me. Maybe it's a you problem.

[earl-of-221b]

The new Legend of the Condor Heroes is great fun. But it is Not for newcomers, I’m not even sure it’s a drama, they are going HAM with the pacing — absolutely speed running two generations of backstory, adoption, brotherhood, blinding, vendettas, poisonings, misunderstandings, master killing, revenge vows, invasion and wife snatching…400 miles per hour of story beats in like the first 5-10 mins — not even Guo Jin’s life in Mongolia was covered! They get to the mainland in 15 mins! Rong’er immediately lays her head on Guo Jin’s shoulder the second she revealed herself as a woman on the boat! This is the most bizarre pacing???!?! This is setting up zero relationships between key characters and not building up personal identity to be conflicted with upbringing v heritage so unable to juxtapose the protag’s loyalties between the Mongolian grasslands and Song China at a later juncture? There is simply no way for a normal person to follow the story at the rate of 30 characters being introduced within the first 30 mins? I am getting whiplash—

*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

Propaganda is very welcome! If I’ve forgot anyone, let me know in the notes.

Lily watches: The Legend of Heroes, episode 1

love how this adaptation completely dispensed with hundreds of pages of novel backstory in less than five minutes (saving it for a different series, I think) so we could get to the main story right away.

that moment when the Seven Freaks of the South showed up was A++++, iconic

(the fact that they put in all this work and effort for what is essentially a bar bet really brings home how important one's word is in the jianghu)

shout-out to Zhu Cong and Han Xiaoying, my faves of Guo Jing's seven shifu

MENG ZIYI OUT THERE KILLING IT (literally) AS MEI CHAOFENG, LET THIS WOMAN BE KICK ASS AND BE EVIL, I'M SO HERE FOR IT.

HUANG RONG'S ESTABLISHING CHARACTER MOMENT IS A MARTIAL ARTS CHASE SEQUENCE IN A WOOL WORKSHOP, I LOVE IT

Guo Jing is such a himbo, full stop. You can SEE Huang Rong falling for him in real time because she correctly identifies that he is a Good Boy.

good job contrasting Guo Jing and Huang Rong's meet-cute with Wanyan Kang and Mu Nianci's.... everything.

that moment where Wanyan Kang and Mu Nianci are leaping on the spectators' shoulders YES GOOD.

aesthetics? gorgeous. characters? fun. martial arts? fantastic.

I have no idea if this episode will make sense to anyone who hasn't read Legend of the Condor Heroes because we blow through so much so fast, but I'm loving it.

and then you get the entire plot of the drama just by leaving the credits on

The difference between Chinese and Japanese drama endings

English added by me :)

[romanceyourdemons]

guo jing, huang rong, mu nianci, and yang kang really are one of the polycules of all time. guo jing and mu nianci are like i can fix him <3 you believe me don’t you huang-xiong? and huang rong is like yeah yeah give me a sec, as she posts a video called “EPIC JIANGHU FAIL 🔥🔥🔥😱😱😱😱 (they think they can fix him 🙈 🤡 🤡)”

[tavina-writes]

So Yang Kang's biological dad who he now also accepts as his dad is Yang Tiexin. But Yang Tiexin is also Mu Nianci's adoptive father, and she calls Bao Xiruo her mother as well, and Xiruo called her her child when they met. No one's mentioned anything in story suggesting that this is illegal or even odd, so is it really fine or is everyone just really chill about incest while also dismissing Yang Kang as only caring about wealth when he's begging them to please let him light some incest for his mother?

Well Nonny, the situation herein is that:

Nianci is adopted, and her surname is Mu. If she changes her surname to Yang this would then socially qualify as incest again even if Yang Kang was a totally completely unrelated boy she found in a gutter named Yang. Socially KangCi is not incestuous in any way.

also for many reasons, different cultures have different ideas of what is incest, but even if you look at it from our modern American standards, this is not incestuous because they are neither blood related nor raised together as siblings nor do they see each other as siblings despite having only three parents with some overlap between them, but anywho herein and therein.

Also Nonny I hate to point this out but you did say..."please let him light some incest for his mother" 🤣and I'm sorry this answer isn't exactly coherent I'm just (OH NO LARF AND LARF) at that typo.

[sandushengshou]

it was not meant to be funny but mu nianci here made me laugh for real

the little setback:

turns out the man ↓ he thought was his father is NOT his father

his shifu isn't helping here

why is he a traitor for believing a lie no one thought to deny for 18 years

and the man he met twice five seconds?

that's his bio dad and he just killed himself

and his mom?

yep. decided to join her husband. right in front of yang kang

honestly yang kang, mu nianci is right. get up and walk it off.

[tavina-writes]

honestly I really do think that 24 has constructed a Yang Kang and a KangCi that I am actually interested in, which is a feat that has taken 60 years and 6 different LOCH adaptations so like it's a huge feat, but that "I just want to light some incense for my mother????" the talk he and Nianci have over noodles???

like he's not having this breakdown because he's suddenly not rich or anything he's melting because his entire life is a lie that other people knew about but kept from him. He's barely seen his biodad twice before the guy died. one day his mom just suddenly wanted to run away from her life. it's. LMAO. he doesn't even know his own name anymore.

Wang Hongyi, you have ALL my attention!

I’ve said it before and I will say it again - if he looked like that in LYF, I’d pay way more attention to Feng Long than I did!

Jin Yong Wuxia Universe: The legend of heroes (2024) | Trailer: - 2 days

[inappropriatewenning]

so i mostly read Condor Heroes on the bus to and from work, which during the summer is only two days a week, so my progress is slow

but anyways

today, to and from work, has been all about saying "huang rong no!" and "mu nianci no..." in very different tones of voice

[dilirebas]

they keep making Legend of the Condor Heroes adaptations with increasingly wacky casting choices.............

and it should be so easy to get it right, considering how the main characters follow such simple tropes

guo jing is a himbo (if you haven't reached li yapeng levels of dumb, your casting is not dumb enough)

huang rong is a mischievous brainiac

yang kang is a hot villain

mu nianci is a tragic girl

why do the casting directors struggle so much with a task that should be so straightforward

[noswordinourlake]

Nianci why are you asking the guy who has done nothing but lie to you so far if he's lying to you...Nianci why

Starting to watch LOCH 2017. We just. Jump right in to the action here huh

[esorxy]

i have way too many opinions about legends of the condor heroes (specifically 2017 version)

i remember reading the English translation on my kindle at the swimming carnival in high school and boy i was HOOKED

every adult acts like a child but (some) with very very strong morals

there is never a boring day with (1) zhou botong and (2) hong qigong

chill tf out on the avenging and whatever okay... literally by avenging his father, guo jing became the person behind the deaths of so many other people's fathers

yang kang and mu nianci have a better love story than guo jing and huang rong. but they only make for a good side couple cos it's a fighting story not a love story. yang kang is straight up manipulated by wanyan honglie tbh like it's only 70% his fault that he turned out to be a shit person. anyway he's like a sad angry guy and that fits some molds except he's also shit. he only goes like "oh nianci i love u let's go back to ur farmhouse forever" when either she's in danger or he needs her (which is quite often so i guess it's ok). anyway sucks that he's so ugly compared to mu nianci, like if i was him i would be so happy that such a pretty girl liked me.

also mu nianci is literally suicidal i feel like everyone forgets about that. like girl needs support figures in her life but has no one.

ouyang feng isn't really evil he's just power hungry, and not even for power over people. he's like a very very determined gym bro. and also very easily manipulated

hua zheng is literally so clown. why would u so desperately want to marry a guy who only has eyes for someone else. she's a literal princess, anyone would be lucky to have her but nooo she wants the one guy who doesn't.

wang chongyang is kinda hot

guo jing lives life so not carefree. just from the way he said (twice) that he would marry hua zheng instead of huang rong because he needs to "honour his word" like what do you get out of not doing what you want to ...

love how the elders all say they care about their reputation or whatever but when it actually comes down to it they just do whatever they want and use their reputation as an excuse for themselves

this is literally a crack fic and i loved every second of it

i don't understand why li ping stabbed herself because guo jing fought his way out carrying her body, and he could have done it whether she was dead or alive

i like how everyone, even the villains, have a plausible perspective and reasoning for their actions

taohua dao is so pretty, and boy when zhou botong was like "ye i spent 15 years here, practice wugong it went by pretty fast" like BOY you really don't value your time on earth aye i thought you liked fun stuff
