   Dudes I am so indescribably happy that there will be another Jin Yong adaptation. If I am not mistaken, a series of dramas will be made based on Jin Yong's stories. The trailer looks magnificent and really reminds me of the wuxia dramas I used to watch. Oh please let this be good 🙏

     @geraineon haha cos Gu Long not as marketable 😆 But I feel ya. I want more Gu Long.
     I think they are not adapting the usual Legend of the Condor Heroes tho, but some other stuff. I think.

     @liztai@hachyderm.io my reaction is completely opposite 😂
     
     Mine is: wtf, again? Why can't they do a different jin Yong this time and skip condor heroes?
     
     Why not adapt Gu Long?

     @geraineon haha me too, tbh. I am actually excited cos this isn't a straight out adaptation of the novel. Feels like bits and pieces of it, or some extra focus on side characters.

     @liztai I should watch some of the adaptations people my age grew up on, but oh, I am also very excited if this is my in, you know?

     Also, I see Meng Ziyi. She was in the 2017 one, is this... that one? No, I guess she's in this one _too_ if it's this: https://mydramalist.com/739239-jin-yong-wu-xia-shi-jie

     Anyway, yay!!!

     @liztai I'm still confused on what exactly this will be adapting, because it looks like ALL THE THINGS?!
     Lots and lots, which...we know how "efficient" wuxia cdramas tend to be.
     Dunno, it feels like if we're having a tough time adapting one Jin Yong book well recently, how likely is this to be good?
