'Romance of Condor Heroes' is Zu Zheng's 2014 adaptation of Jin Yong's second novel in his Condor Trilogy wuxia trilogy.
It is entertaining and colourful despite its controversial addition of extraneous romances for major characters and its not always popular choice of main actress. The series plot is easy to follow, fairly faithful to the novel. Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen, who play the main couple Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, have good chemistry together. Michelle Chen's characterisation of Xiaolongnu is luminous and warmer than that of the novel's Xiaolongnu while Chen Xiao is versatile and likable in his portray of Yang Guo from youthful to mature days.
How will orphan Yang Guo handle being bullied and discriminated against? Can he stand strong for his forbidden romance with his martial arts Teacher, Xialongnu? After the couple face many trials and are parted, can Yang Guo find Xiaolongnu again? As Yang Guo matures and develops formidable martial arts, what path will he choose in the Jianghu?
