I’ve been watching the 2017 Legend of the Condor Heroes (with fanmade english subtitles, thank you for your hard work, various fansubers and especially youtube user Emycee Chin) and I’m really enjoying it for lots of reasons but one thing I can’t stop thinking about is how like. Technically 90% of the story wouldn’t have happened if not for Bao Xiruo saving Wanyan Honglie’s life.

And it would be so so easy for the narrative to focus on that. To turn it into this tragic tale of how Xiruo’s ‘soft, woman’s heart’ doomed her family. How her fatal flaw was mercy. But they… don’t really do that? Her kindness ultimately leading to her ruin is definitely a part of the tragedy of her story/character, but it’s never framed as weakness, as something that means she’s *to blame* when her good intentions are turned back around on her.

Instead, we see how each and every person who takes advantage of her kind heart is cruel and manipulative. She’s a tragic character by virtue of being a kind person in a cruel world, but the tragedy isn’t framed as an inevitable consequence of her kindness. There’s no implication that she ‘should have known better’ or that if she had been harder and ‘stronger’, she could have had a happier ending.

She’s not tragic for being kind in the face of cruelty, she’s tragic because the world is cruel in the face of her kindness. She’s tragic because she deserves better and she doesn’t get it.

Idk that might not seem like a big difference to some people, but it’s huge to me.

On a serious note, I do feel mysterious case lotusbook has a lot of sincere themes about getting older, realities of responsibility and dreams realized, how it's difficult to succeed and not always the direct path one expects, how there's value in little aspects of life. Almost every li lianhua scene seems to be about that to some degree. The murder cases aren't particularly deep as far as super complicated to figure out or Able to be predicted super well (since they don't always give all the details in the initial setup), but the themes about who was killed and why do connect to li lianhuas situation.

#mysterious lotus casebook #lb #by all this i mean: a lot of the positive things li lianhua AND di feisheng say are fairly good advice tbh #like a fei? hes like you need to be fair in your decisions for your actions to be worthwhile and earned #li lianhua: sometimes being the one taking all responsibility was bad for you and the people you led who felt burdened #by You taking the burden. and stepping back can be a respectable choice.#cooking is more difficult than fighting. keeping yourself alive is Hard and its the hardest thing we do #and its admirable even when youll never be a hero never be able to achieve what those around you might #your peers are worthwhile if they choose diffetently than you (qian wanmian isnt lesser for not choosing to lead a sect and instrad #dissolving it. di feisheng doesnt think li lianhua is no longef worth his time even though hes weaker now. li lianhua is still someonr he #wants to see alive see brlieve in himself see passionate about things. the monks think its never too late to #reconnect to people again. that people who love you will want you and accept you even when you fail.#even fang duobing by knowing li lianhua gets the experience of someone who wants him alive #and fondly smiles and Is proud of him. evrn if hes learning and fails and moody #fond of him in a way his family wasnt that strangers lied about due to his status #in a way that he clung to li xianyi for ALSO seeing value in him when he felt he didnt live up to expectstions of the world #its the Kindness of little moments of acceptance. of being kind to yourself and kind to others (even down to #not wantjng to kill suspects but take them to trial. not wanting scapegoats blamed. which arent usually done in wuxia)#its the fact this show is quite about gentleness and healing (i see the Love and Redemption screen writing ismilarities)#rather than about power struggles. do you know what i mean?

Su Mengzhen is all good and nice but being someone growing up with all those chaotic wuxia cdramas from 2000s to early 2010s Chen Chuhe's performance in The Magic Blade (2012) still tops everything else imo. like, Su Mengzhen is fantastic but Ye Kai is GORGEOUS

Meng Xinghun/孟星魂 - The Meteor, Butterfly and sword/流星蝴蝶剑 (2010) Ye Kai/叶开 - The Magic Blade/天涯明月刀 (2012) Su Mengzhen/苏梦枕 - Heroes/说英雄谁是英雄 (2022)

#but yeah su mengzhen brought me back those memories from like 10yrs ago and made me realize how much I adored him as a child #ydk how much ye kai meant to me hes the cutest hes perfect hes everything #but I knew him way earlier than that #I think I first got to know him from jay chous mv #one of my friends was obsessed with him and made us see the mv #and then it's jay chous movie he played a side charater in it #later the meteor butterfly and sword he nailed it in that series hes born for wuxia dramas #oh lets not forget the soap opera that came after #before I finished the magic blade and thats when he started to grow on me #but at that time I already knew him well and have finished several of his works #and I was like dude you again??#lmao #chen chuhe #baron chen #su mengzhen #shuo ying xiong shei shi ying xiong #heroes 2022 #ye kai #the magic blade #cdrama #meng xinghun

Uncle and nephew reunite!!

Wulin Heroes has been an interesting watch so far - was more interested to see Zhu Zanjin and Qi Peixin in a show together again actually.

Plot-wise, can’t tell how I feel about the pacing if the show because of all the time jumps in the first few eps but we’ll keep going and see!

Tav, sorry for asking, but, Liu Ying's hair turns out white from grief. Does the same happen to Huang Yaoshi, after his wife's death??? Or is he just getting old?

sjkjg omg no worries Mar.

Liu Ying's hair does turn white out of grief! (in a single night even! talk about dramaticism.)

Huang Yaoshi on the other hand, is not mentioned to have had his hair color change because of grief over Feng Heng's death. We doooon't actually know his age strictly in the books (though he should also be the youngest of all of the Five Greats, with Wang Chongyang being the oldest) but he is at least 50-60 or thereabouts.

The book doesn't actually really mention his hair color! We have these clues about his appearance and mannerisms from Chapter 13 of LOCH where he first appears during MCF's fight with OYK before the incidents at Lu Manor on Lake Tai:

Ouyang Ke saw her alarmed expression and cursed secretly, “ What a brilliant blind bitch!” Fanning himself gently, he stood up and summoned his internal energy. He was about to strike out at Mei Chaofeng when he saw another person coming from the cliff. He hurriedly took back his strike and studied that person. He saw that the man was slim and tall; he was wearing a green robe and part of his hair was bound with a squared cloth. He looked like any cultured person but Ouyang Ke was unable to see his face clearly. The amazing thing however, was that Ouyang Ke was unable to hear any footsteps or breathing coming from that man. Even a highly skilled person like Mei Chaofeng would inevitably make some light noises when she walked but this person was walking casually, as if his body were floating, forming a somewhat ghostly image. It seemed as if nothing could cause him to make any noise while moving. That person glanced at Ouyang Ke before standing behind Mei Chaofeng. Ouyang Ke studied his face in detail and gasped unexpectedly. That person had a very weird face, besides a pair of eyes glancing around, the rest of his face was like a dead person’s. The skin of his face was stiff, it was not ugly but neither was it charming.

From Legend of the Condor Heroes, Chapter 13: "The Cripple of Lake Tai"

From this we can gather that HYS is tall, thin, wears green and has incredible qinggong. (Also the description of his hairstyle and the square cloth should be describing him wearing a futou. Which was the scholar gentry hairstyle accessory for men of this time period.)

This is corroborated by his first description when he shows up again in Chapter 14:

That person was tall and rather thin; wearing a dark green robe. His countenance was pale and expressionless. Other than his rolling eyes, the rest of his face was stiff like a wooden statue. He stood still and stiff like a standing corpse. As soon as everybody saw this person, a chill crept on their backs. They immediately turned their gaze away from this person, did not dare to look at his face anymore; their hearts thumping.

From Legend of the Condor Heroes, Chapter 14: "The Master of Peach Blossom Island"

HYS is tall, thin, ghostly, and terrifying!

The strange man let his left arm in Huang Rong’s embrace and lifted his right hand to slowly take off a thin mask from his face. He was wearing a genuine skin mask; no wonder his face was emotionless like that of a corpse. His true complexion was clear and good-looking, with a hint of sadness yet bore an aura of dignity around him; resembling the image of a deity.

From Legend of the Condor Heroes, Chapter 14: "The Master of Peach Blossom Island"

Except Mr. Jin Yong claims he's a total babe when the human skin mask is off lmao. Clear skin, good looking, with a hint of sadness, yet dignified, resembling a god, etc etc.

If you've read this far, you may be wondering: why does Michael Miu as HYS have a bleached hair wig then? Why did they make that design choice?

Well, for that I think their inspiration was based on Kenneth Tsang's iconic HYS look from the 1983 production, especially since Michael Miu played Yang Kang in 1983.

1983 Legend of the Condor Heroes: Huang Yaoshi (Kenneth Tsang) and Huang Rong (Barbara Yung). The only thing missing from the 2017 Huangs was NOT ENOUGH HUGS. (And not enough HYS going insane and screaming and crying, but I get it, Michael had a vibe and he was sticking to it.)

Michael Miu as Huang Yaoshi in LOCH 2017

Also Michael is much much hotter with his bleached wig. Turns the dilf persona up approximately 500% so. There we have it!

extremely excited abt xiao zhan as guo jing in tsui hark-directed legend of the condor heroes btw... will it be better than the 1983 tvb drama? debatable. it's gonna be a GOOD adaptation tho esp with the huge amnt of shitty ones out there

#not to be confused with 1983 tvb drama the return of the condor heroes which is the sequel to the legend of the condor heroes #the sequel stars andy lau and idy chan. the first one stars bryan leung and susanna auyeung iirc and they reprised their roles in return #anyway tsui hark going back to his roots (wuxia films) is sth im always gonna look forward to bc he does it So Well #ling.txt
