The idol version of Jin Yong's "Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Hu Ge as Guo Jing, Ariel Lin as Huang Rong, Yuen Hong as Yang Kang, and Liu Shi Shi as Mu Nian Ci. This TV series is produced by the same company that made "Shao Nian Yang Jia Jiang" (The Young Warriors) so expect to see a similar style. The series also takes on a different interpretation of the character of Yang Kang and focuses quite a bit more on him than the original story. Fans can decide if this is good or bad!

After I have heard about the hypes centering this series, I gave it a shot. I was/am always a fan of Felix and to me, I thought during the time I was watching the new version, he was and is going to be The Guo Jing up to date. This story is very popular so I am going to save the details for those who have read the novel many times. I am just going to go... read more

Cast Hu Ge as Guo Jing Ariel Lin Yi Chen as Huang Rong Yuan Hong as Yang Kang Liu Shi Shi as Mu Nian Ci Plot (3.5/5) As the saying goes, "if it's not broken, don't fix it". Well, the director decided to take it one step further and performed a makeover, at least on Yang Kang's (YK) character. The result? Well, at least in my eyes, is the same look Guo Jing (GJ) has when he's trying to figure out Wu... read more

Synopsis: I know it can be terribly frustrating when people assume others know a story and don't bother explaining what its about, so I'll give a short summary. Basically, China is being invaded, and there are two men who are sworn brothers and Chinese patriots. A Daoist priest assasinates a corrupt official and the priest and these two men become friends. It happens that these two men are about to both become fathers, as both their wives are pregnant. The Daoist... read more

Synopsis There are 4 productions of this story, and also the novel, I think is quite familiar. So I will skip the details about the plot. The cast Huang Rong This Huang Rong was really captivating, she could bring many side of Huang Rong’s characters, she was able to look as a young teenage girl who likes to play and naughty and yet more mature, when Huang Rong’s character grown up. With Barbara Yung, they are my favorite one . I really like... read more

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be considered the most "epic" out of all of Jin Yong's works not only because it is the one most people are familiar with, but it also marks the beginning of a legendary trilogy - “The Condor Trilogy”. The story revolves around a gullible but noble protagonist, Guo Jing, his witty and sassy partner, Huang Rong, and their various adventures in the world known as the “Jiang Hu.” The first time I saw... read more

I loved this version so much. The character i loved most was Ou Yang Ke-Li Jie. He was so flirty and elegant. His performance totally won me over. I wanted to watch more and more of him. Overall i think the cast did really good especially ariel lin and li jie. They portrayed the characters the way i wouldve.
the story is quite a bit off from the original story but eh... i dont mind... the director took his artistic license and made a choice to change the story so that we wouldnt see the same thing thats been seen in the other versions of the book gone drama... but i do have to say that Ariel Lin/ Li Yi Chen is the best Huang Rong ive seen to date and ive seen all the versions and ive read the book.... her version of Huang Rong is pretty much what i imagined the book version of Huang Rong to be like... This is still a good show to watch, even if the beginning drags a bit
I am so disappointed. I liked the cast initially but as vindi said it is so far off from the original. I guess I am a purist when it comes to Jin Yong.
This version is the best of all. Lest be honest Condor Heros was one of Jin Yong's novels from his earlier days(a better way of saying undevolped and in the box). The original story was too patriotic to one's nation without logical reasoning. This version shows why Yang Kang was evil ( unlike the previous versions say you recognize a crook as a father you are bad period. Basically Guo Jing was responsible for Yang Kang's result of being evil. Yang Kang begged Guo Jing (his older brother) to teach him ultimate kung fu skill but all Guo Jing did was say oh I promised so and so that I can't teach this without permmision or oh jiu yin jen jing is evil I can't teach you it. Seriouslly I totally thing it was right for Yang Kang to turn into a bad guy because he tried his hardest to become a good guy and got nothing as a reward. Seriouslly, I was clapping when he stabbed Guo Jing.
