The Legend of the Condor Heroes (射雕英雄传, Shè Diāo Yīng Xióng Zhuàn) is a 2017 Chinese series starring Yang Xu Wen, Li Yi Tong, Chen Xing Xu, and Meng Zi Yi. It's one of the many, many adaptations of The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong, and is also a remake of the 1983 Hong Kong series.
Two pregnant women escape to foreign lands, where their sons grow up to be very different from each other. Guo Jing is slow-witted and talentless, but manages to rise to a prominent position in the martial arts world. Yang Kang is raised as a Jurchen nobleman and plots with the other Jurchen to conquer the Song Empire. Eventually the two men meet each other — and their love interests, Huang Rong and Mu Nian Ci.
