The second part of the first season of Jin Yong Wuxia Universe (aka The Legend of Heroes) will start airing tomorrow (July 26).
This is another adaptation of the popular Chinese wuxia novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong.
The first part (= Hot Blooded, main roles: Ci Sha & Bao Shangen) was released last year with 30 episodes. Personally, I greatly enjoyed watching it, though it wasn't a big hit in China, apparently. But it has many great fight scenes and an incredibly old-school wuxia vibe to it. Guo Jing was also Ci Sha's first main role in a drama, so of course I had to watch it. I'm predictable like that. 😌
The second part (= Duel on Mount Hua) is divided into 4 storylines, being released as follows:
- July 26: Nine Yin True Sutra (8 episodes, starring Meng Ziyi & He Yu)
- July 31: Eastern Heretic and Western Venom (8 episodes, starring Gao Weiguang, Zhou Yiwei & Chen Duling)
- August 5: Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar (8 episodes, starring Ming Dao, Peter Ho & Hankiz Omar)
- August 10: Five Great Masters (6 episodes, starring Gao Weiguang, Zhou Yiwei, Ming Dao & Peter Ho)
( @dangermousie this one's for you. I'll definitely be watching, too. 🥰)
