dangermousie | Korea does Lord of the Rings. I think I just might die here

Just when I think Korea cannot surprise me any more with its awesomeness, it goes and does it again.

I found this German-language trailer for The Legend, a 24-episode Korean epic fantasy series that aired earlier in 2007 and my mind is blown. Swords! Armies! Magic and sacrifice! Design and look that would put any movie to shame. My eyeballs are only staying in their sockets because they want to watch this. This is amazing.

I know they could pour money into it because it starred Bae Yong Joon, arguably the biggest Korean star out there, but still...my mind is blown. Blown. Blown.

Also, why did nobody inform me of this in The Legend:

OMG! The armor! And the sweetness! And the UST! And the way she hugs him from behind and he stares at her.

The sole reason I was refraining from watching The Legend, a Korean fantasy series, was because I thought there was no OTP, but OMG, the awesomeness! I don't know if they are the canon OTP but I ship them.

I must watch this.

Also, the same fan who made the trailer for The Legend made a German-language trailer for The Emperor of the Sea and oh, oh OH OH why didn't I listen to
