31 years after creating one of the most classic couples on Chinese screens, Louis Koo and Li Ruotong suddenly appeared together in the cast list of a new TV series.
This information immediately caused fans of The Condor Heroes to stir, because this is a rare time that the two names associated with Yang Guo - Xiao Long Nu reunited in a film project after many decades.
In 1995, TVB's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" version aired, making Co Thien Lac and Ly Nhuoc Dong the most loved screen couple of a generation.
Images of Duong Qua and Tieu Long Nu standing in the middle of a cliff, along with the promise "16 years later we will meet again" once made millions of viewers shed tears.
Now, after 31 years, "Duong Qua" and "Tieu Long Nu" are named in the same project - "Hunting Lies" (tentatively translated: Hunting for Lies), the film is in the process of filming and continuously announcing the cast in the form of a "mysterious box".
The appearance of Louis Koo is considered one of the biggest surprises. The actor has almost not participated in television dramas for many years, making this comeback even more noticeable. Previously, the crew also announced Li Ruotong participating in the project, thereby sparking many speculations about the possibility that the two actors will have common scenes.
According to some shared information, Co Thien Lac's character in the film has a beautiful wife. However, the identity of the actress playing this role has not yet been confirmed by the film crew.
Therefore, whether Louis Koo and Brandon Lee actually act together or even recreate the image of a couple on screen is still a question that fans are waiting for.
Even more interesting is that in real life, both have turned 50 and still maintain their private lives. Ly Nhuoc Dong just celebrated her 60th birthday, while Co Thien Lac is currently 55 years old.
Ly Nhuoc Dong once shared that during the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she was completely immersed in the character Xiao Long Nu. When acting with Louis Koo, the actress said she was absolutely focused on Yang Guo and the character's emotions.
However, she also affirmed that the two did not date in real life, because the filming schedule at that time was extremely tense, and there was almost no time for personal life.
In 2018, Ly Nhuoc Dong posted photos of reuniting with Louis Koo and humorously recalled the times the two met after many years of separation. In 2019, the two continued to appear with the cast of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in a reunion.
Three decades have passed, Duong Qua and Tieu Long Nu of that year have now become icons of the screen.
Therefore, although it is not yet known whether the two will actually have a co-starring scene in "Hunting Lies", just the fact that Louis Koo and Li Ruotong appear together in a new project is enough to revive memories of a classic love story from years ago in the hearts of the audience.
