In case you didn't know, this is just a summary of the condor trilogy, its not only LOCH which is about Yang Gou. It's kind of pointless to watch this as it is right now and I have no idea why they even made this.

Not to mention that they casted old and popular actors, paid for VFX and stuff.. Surely there must be other dramas that can be made with the money invested into this instead.

This is basically 2 full stories combined into one, with a LOT of content missing.

It is a trilogy, because The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber (倚天屠龍記) is a part of the condor heroes story and takes places after LOCH, and YG is basically the reason why the sword and the saber exists.

However it doesn't seem like the final story will be adapted at all
