add recIf you liked Yang Guo from Condor Hero I'm pretty sure you'll like Kenichi also. The series are almost the same in every way, but have a different romantic story; and Kenichi is still airing.
These series are very differet in that one is a classic tale and one is a relatively new story. The thing that makes me write this recommendation however is the topic in the two series. If you like to see an underdog making it and going on to bigger better things and overcoming what he/she was afraid of you should really have seen both of these series.

add recJuuni Kokki (12 kingdoms) may not be as classic as the old tale of bravery and love, but they both send your imagination running wild. They both have the classic events that make up a wonderful saga or legend, and they are both wonderfully made.
