Chinese Paladin woes...

[dangermousie]

Hell.

I just bought Chinese Paladin (also known as 'Eternal Love') with subs. Nothing wrong with that, right? Yup. But in clicking on a youtube link to something I just got majorly spoiled as to what happens to the protagonist. Fuuuuuuuck. I am OK with spoilers and all generally, but for some reason, I hate being spoiled for wuxia dramas, especially something this huge (note: I am not spoiled about anything else, so please don't spoil me further).

On the plus side, I found this adorable MV for the show. Now I get the fuss about Hu Ge. He is adorable.

For whatever reason, embedded vids won't show up on this puter. Which superspoilery one did you see(if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's one of my 2 favorites-aside from the Tang Yu/Ah Nu ones-but absolutely not one I'd ever rec if you didn't want spoilers) and which cute one did you find?

It's not the one I posted (I posted the cute one), it's just a comment to a vid...

what did they say?

Um. The ending credits sequence itself is incredibly spoilery, but I guess they don't mind doing it since EVERYONE IN CHINA know the story already, from the game.

LOL. Yeah, it's probably like people complaining Romeo & Juliet or Titanic was spoiled for them. I don't mind too much :)

I LOVE THIS SERIES OMG *BIG HEARTS*

Many many years ago, I was living in a homestay in California, speaking little English and feeling miserable. Then one day, my best friend in Taiwan sent this game to me. I remember opening the package, reading the letter... he told me it was the hottest game in Taiwan, the most accomplished Chinese RPG at the time, that it did us proud... The files took up ten 5.25-inch minifloppies (remember those soft bendable thingy?)... I thought it was a pain to install.

Once the game was up and running I stayed up dozens of hours to finish it. It was that good. I almost cried (I never cry at fictional stuff. never!).

The TV series wasn't as addictive, but was even more of a tearjerker. I choked.

You probably didn't want to read all that. *g*

I totally wanted to read all this. It was interesting. I love learning how people first came across things they really like.

And OMG, I remember floppies :)

*finally watches vid*

Yeah, that is a good, cute one. *wonders whyt she's never posted it*

I think this one is the cutest, though(it's only spoilery if you count the secondary OTP being incredibly cute as a poiler) http://youtube.com/watch?v=GTDk-IaQODg
