Next time I watch a chinese historical drama, I have to remember to skip the opening and closing sequences. Too…
so true

Hahaha! This is my first time too! Do we watch an episode a day? I wonder if it would be all right to start a thread about it in the forums, I didn't see one in the list there...
I like your article but I respectfully disagree in regards to Ha Ji Won's characters-they both start as strong…
I don't know about K2H, I haven't seen it either. Though in SG Gil Ra Im became a reluctant damsel in distress. I mean, near the end she was in a coma and didn't ask to be rescued. It was Joo Won's initiative and that was his love.

China's history is just fascinating! Before Kdramas, I grew up watching Chinese movies and they were marvelous!
Ariel Lin is good! She plays a witty and headstrong character so I find her a perfect match to a slow and patient male lead. Though compared to Liu Shi Shi, I find her martial arts moves less graceful.
There are lots of Chinese dramas I want to watch since I rediscovered wuxia. I looked up Prince of Lan Ling and it sounds like an adventure! I hope it's not a heavy tragedy though...I tried not to read the review on there or it might spoil me... If you have the time to watch it, tell me so we can be watching buddies. :)
Aww... thanks very much for recapping! Would have loved a recap on the last episode it was a clean ending to the series, and then some.
Looking forward to your next drama recaps and articles. :) Cheers to all of you!

Why didn't I think of that! I'll check on Soompi too, thanks! :)
Honestly, there are so many versions of Legend of the Condor Heroes I didn't know which one to watch at first, but then I settled on the 2008 version I am a bit familiar with Liu Cecilia and Yuan Hong from Startling By Each Step. Also, this version stars Ariel Lin whom I've heard so much about and I wanted to see her act.
I love watching adventure, martial arts and ordinary people turning into heroes and pretty much, Condor Heroes gives me those. Although plenty, romance here is chaste (so far) and I don't think it'll turn into R-18 any time soon lol.
I would have liked to read the Condor Heroes trilogy...I think they're really popular books if not classic lit in China.

Hahaha! :D It's okay! I think it's an awesome idea. Let me know if you come across pics of the cast in their costumes. I've seen their group pictures on fb, I'm also trying to find pics of PKW and Joo Won in doc suits. :)
I think this is a great short list of things we learn and notice in dramas. Next to the story and the acting, music is the one thing I am always attracted to and also I try to take note of the literature they incorporate in the drama.
Ali is such a powerful singer. I get goosebumps when she hits the high notes. I love stories on Greek mythology so I will be so looking forward to your next article!

Hey, no prob. :)
At the latter episodes I really wasn't up to writing episode reviews either because it mellowed down for me but the last ep was a great wrap up and I enjoyed the scenes where Dr. Go was at. Yes he did, he's a great comic relief and I love it that he developed a soft spot for Si On. He even became 'handsome' in my eyes--'til I wiped my glasses. Muhahahahahaha! XD
