Return of the Condor Heroes: Oh my LORD

[dangermousie]

meganbmoore, you created a monster!

Next on my drama hit list after the backlog (which I guess means 2010 :P) is…

Ta-dum!

Wuxia Chinese drama Return of the Condor Heroes (2006 version). Not too sure about the plot except for the usual fighting, colorful constumes and love stuff. And the OTP that seems to hit every single thing I want. My GOD. I am already shipping them like a lunatic, on basis of the MVs. Yikes.

My favorite MV but I can't embed it. Seriously, just watch it. I don't even know the story but the combo of visuals and song got me sniffling. Could be the lack of sleep too, but what the hell:

Why the sudden interest? I have about dozen more reasons.

Reason 1




Reason 2



Reason 3



Reason 4




Reason 5



Reason 6



Reason 7



Reason 8



Reason 9



Reason 10



Reason 11



Reason 12:



I think I know why stuff like this appeals to me so. It has all the angsty romance my girly heart can want, but also fights and revenge and what not for the tomboy part of me. Plus, if you think about it, the period dramas have men who are gorgeous (have you SEEN the lead of this?) and very masculine (heck, these dramas are all about how proficient these guys are with weaponry) but who also have long hair and elegant clothes. And the heroines are totally kick-butt but have elaborate hairstyles and look feminine. Best of both worlds. And it's filmed movie quality beautiful. All that plus a happy ending. What more could a girl want?

Still not convinced?

A few MVs.



If this MV was any more gorgeous, I'd probably expire:

I just love the song on this one:

This is awesome quality:
