Yet another Version of the Condor Heroes !?!? .... Seriously , can't they come-up w/ some new ideas ? ... besides…
I guess we agree .... But , I seem to prefer the older versions of these stories...
Probably exactly b/c of what u said about the producers know that the story is good ..... so, imo , they'll just take the ' Easy-Way Out ' ... Use a ' Sure-Thing ' to make money and propel some new rising stars .....
Maybe that's why the C-dramas that r not remakes seem to be a lot Better !! ... since there's more effort ..... and a lot Fresher !!!
I have not yet seen "Eagle Shooting Heroes" w/ Leslie Cheung .... It is on my PTW list , along w/ many other Leslie movies... and other Hong-Kong classics ... I love them... and Love Leslie <3<3<3
The HK classics were my first exposure to Chinese films ... That is , before
Zhang Yimou's films started appearing (He's simply Great !!! <3<3<3)
Excellent drama, I enjoyed it immensely. Often, watching the drama of the royal family I could not imagine, but…
Thanks again for posting the link ... now other MDLers can enjoy it also ... :D "Graceful" is a great description of the leads and their romance .... and I'll say it again : in this lakorn ---- Nat is an excellent and beautiful actress .... who can be Strong yet graceful and regal. ---- Num is a good also w/ looks and voice that ooze a Smoldering Sensuality .... and he has the qualities of the King, a soulful Romantic as well as a Strong Confident leader...
The story plot seemed intriguing at first , and it just got better and better !! ... Lots of angst and tension towards the end... The last 1/3 was soooo Great !!!...
I didn't like how Bie made Kobori a bit like a fool at first , but , he quickly gained dignity and became a hunk of a man ... balancing all the responsibilities and being torn b/w love and duty ... I simply love how he handled everything ....a true Hero !!! .... (w/ a very manly chest *wink**wink*)
I also like how they explained how stubborn and proud she is .. so even though some of her choices seemed idiotic , they actually made sense and were consistent w/ her personality !!
I also liked the comic relief for once... Uncles Bua and Phon started out annoying but quickly became hilarious as "The Troublemakers" ....
Bie and Noona had very good chemistry ....
Yet another Version of the Condor Heroes !?!? .... Seriously , can't they come-up w/ some new ideas ? ... besides…
Yes, I do realize that the novels are great ... But so many versions of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" , "Return of the Condor Heroes" , "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber" , "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devil" , The Four Great Classics (i.e. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", etc...) , "The Butterfly Lovers" , "Warriors of the Yang Clan" , "Chinese Ghost Story" , etc...etc...etc...
--- There's at least one version per decade for most of the stories above ... I was just wondering why they keep re-doing the same thing so often ....(besides the fact that the stories are great and worth watching).
..... At least "Eagle Shooting Heroes" I heard is a great parody w/ Leslie Cheung... so it tried to add freshness sto the same old stories ... :D
--->>> I love the historical C-dramas and wish more were subbed ... But I also love newer stories and wish shows like "Battle of Chansha" , and "Too Late to Say I Love You" are subbed.
--->>> C-dramas have become my favorites , and I find them very refreshing , thus the complaint about too many remakes....
.... I want more of the new ones like "The Cage of Love" and "The Stand-In" to air and be subbed .... since they have quotas in China , I don't want the airing shows to be wasted on the remakes.
--->>> My complaint sounded like a criticism of C-dramas ; when in reality , what I am really complaining about is
--->>> my Un-Quenched DESIRE for MORE new C-dramas to be subbed !!! ...*crossing fingers*
I hope my explanation made sense :)
All the questions I'v asked myself while watching.... Right on the money...Exactly... !!!!!!!!
Why? Nande? Weh? ..... *still scratching head*
BRILLIANT article ... Well said .... LMAO...!!!!
One of the sexiest roles for Fujiki Naohito .... His Eyes in this drama are particularly captivating ... *swoooon*
Whenever he's on screen I could not help but be lost in his Smoldering Eyes and Sensual Smile.
The story is good and deals w/ mature relationships and romance.
Did that really happen in "Dream High" ??? ... If it did, I can see why....
I know that in both "Queen of Reversals" and "How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor" , the script was changed , after the show started airing , so as to make Park Si-Hoo the main lead !!! ....
He became popular and a fan favorite... so they gave him more screen time and he ended up w/ the girl .
The only other show I know of is "Last Cinderella" ... But, the producers POLLED the audience to decide which guy will end up w/ the girl in the last episode... (both were leads up to that point) ...
I disagree w/ the conclusion for that one , she belonged w/ the other guy ...Oh well !
Excellent drama, I enjoyed it immensely. Often, watching the drama of the royal family I could not imagine, but…
Yes, I like young Janie and loved young Ken in "Nung Nai Sueng" .... But, sometimes she is not expressive enough :( Did u see the 2007 "Dung Duang Haruetai" w/ Weir??.... heard the heroine is not as strong and the production is bad.
I'll say it again .... whenever he was on screen in "The Princess' Man", I could not stop staring at his Seductive eyes and Luscious lips..... and Ohhh my !!! That tall Hot body !!!
Am I the only one that had a crush on the tortured Shin Myun ???
Excellent drama, I enjoyed it immensely. Often, watching the drama of the royal family I could not imagine, but…
Yes, Num's eyes are very seductive... He's entirely Dreamy here !!! Wish I knew what other lakorns Nat is in... Strong yet feminine , good actress. --- There is "Prissana" and "Jao Sao Prissana" , I heard both have strong heroines. --- "Buang Ruk Gammatep" .... has a wonderful strong heroine ... even tho it's a gentler slap/kiss , she gave him as good as she received ..... Very good lakorn !
This is the first time I see his name spelled that way .... I always see it as : Ji Sung...
Never seen it as Ji Seong anywhere else, although, I know those are the Hangul letters,.
Of course I <3 him .... A rose by any other name...etc...
EDIT: they changed it back!
