It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since The Return of the Condor Heroes first aired, yet the show’s popularity has never faded. No matter how many times fans rewatch it, The Return of the Condor Heroes never feels boring. Instead, each viewing brings back waves of childhood nostalgia. However, one thing that definitely changes over time is how we see the show’s special effects. Scenes that once felt romantic now seem totally illogical. The clip below is a perfect example.
In episode 34 of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Yang Guo (Huỳnh Hiểu Minh) is training martial arts but misses Xiaolongnü (Liu Yifei) so much that he sees her reflection in his tear.
Back in 2006, this scene moved everyone watching because it showed just how deeply Yang Guo loved Xiaolongnü. Sixteen years of longing is no small thing. But watching it again 15 years later, the romance is gone and all that’s left is a big cringe moment for fans.
Still, no one can deny how stunning Huỳnh Hiểu Minh and Liu Yifei looked back when they filmed The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Some other comments from the online community:
– I can’t describe his feelings at that moment. All I know is every tear rolling down his cheek clearly reflected the image of the one he loved most… Oh, 2000s logic, I just can’t get it…
– How much training does it take to reach a level like this?
– I already thought it was special when I watched it over ten years ago.
– Those tears were definitely not fake.
