So, i watched The Return of the Condor Heroes, and i think its like the best swordfighting/power-flashing/romance/drama ever made. But then again this is the only drama I actually sat through.....o.o. Is there any other drama that has swordfighting/power-flashing/romance/drama >.>.... especially power-flashing and romance

Try Fate/Stay Night. I have not seen Condor Heroes, but power-flashing, swordfighting, romantic drama fits. It has some funny elements too though, so I am not sure...

www.spcnet.tv has a lot of reviews. So it's a good place to find descriptions of dramas. Although most tend to be for Chinese/Hong Kong/Korean dramas. And not so much Japanese.

Anyway, Return of Condor Heroes is part of a "trilogy" based on martial arts writer God Jing Yong. If you liked it, you MUST watch the prequel Legend of Condor Heroes. There are quite a few versions out there. If you want the newest version, one came out this year. But if you don't mind dated graphics and crappy production value, I think the 1983 version might be better.

The third part of the trilogy is Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, but the story is more detached from the first two, so it's not really required viewing.

I want to watch Legend of the condor hero, but the 2008 version isnt fully out yet.

Right now i'm watching The Handsome Siblings, its really funny. The main character is very witty, even though his marital arts sucks.
