Is there any wonder I fell for kdramas?

This clip from "Vorvrashenya Mushketyorov" (Return of the Musketeers - apparently about Musketeer offspring) is from a movie made when I was already an adult, but it's pretty typical of movies of my childhood. I am kinda obsessed with the song (and the singer/actor Anton Makarsky, who was in Russian soap Bednaya Nastya, that I was obsessed with years ago) but I am totally LOLing how this fits all my current narrative kinks - angsty dude in period clothes singing super-angsty love song as he is tied up and is about to be blown up with his cross-dressing lady love.

I was doomed to love drama from birth, apparently.

My formative impression must have come from the 1975 Michel Strogoff production. The "Oh, Nadia" song still haunts me (though I remember it in the Finnish translation).



Thinking of the story, no wonder I like angsty love stories. :D

The blinding scene is forever etched in my memory.

Looks like it was a German production, which highly surprises me, probably filmed in Hungary, based on crew names.

Hah, in my childhood memories it was always a Russian series. But I must have been like 6-7 when it aired here. I only read the book when I was well past 10.

Ooooh, which movie is this? I want!!!!

It's a German mini-series. Here is it's IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074024/combined - looks like it was 7 episodes. Like I said, I saw it as a child, so I have no idea where one would find it nowadays.

I got curious about it's availability, and as far as I can tell it's only available on DVD in French with no subs. No idea about it's online availability.

Here is it's page on Amazon.fr in case you understand French:
