The Legend Of Condor Heroes 2017

Over the decades, we have seen countless adaptations of Guo Jing and Huang Rong’s story. From the 1983 TVB classic that made Andy Lau a star, to the 2008 Hu Ge version, each era brings its own flavor. But when the 2017 adaptation hit the screens, produced by Chinese streaming giant iQIYI, it managed to do the impossible: it pleased the purists while captivating a new generation.

The 1983 version has legendary charisma but suffers from cheap sets and illogical script changes (e.g., giving Yang Kang far too much screen time). The 2017 version is more coherent and cinematic. Vs. 2008 Hu Ge: The 2008 version is a pop culture artifact for millennials, but it injects too much anime/manga energy and melodramatic love triangles. The 2017 version is more "adult" and grounded. the legend of condor heroes 2017
