They are high school versions reincarnated ancient generals and they battle evil with their guitars

OK, fifteen minutes into K.O. 3an Guo and I think I am going to enjoy it hugely.

The best way to describe it is "Three Kingdoms meet Tenjou TengeKO posits a very important question - what would happen if the legendary generals, politicians and beauties from the Chinese ancient classic Three Kingdoms, were somehow fighting-mad high-school kids with

HOLY CRAP. i find so many gems here. just started this one because you were posting about it. so addicted already!!!

[dangermousie]

LOLOLOL Yay!

[littledelusion]

My God, I kind of desperately want to watch this but I don't have the time (or patience). Also, I would not get any of the jokes at all since I know nothing about the original except for Peter Ho. :3

[dangermousie]

I don't think you need to be any sort of TK expert but basic knowledge of the story does make this 10x funnier. I think it's the kind of thing that works that even if you don't know the original.

It's not that long - each season is self contained and only 16 eps or so.

[littledelusion]

WHY ARE YOU TEMPTING ME. WHY?

[dangermousie]

It has more hot idols than you can shake a stick at :)

Also, it's the first drama in months, and possibly years, where I found myself laughing out loud.

Also, OTPs:

Ahahah, Xiu! I watched KO ONE and half way through X-Family, gotta love these series :)

[dangermousie]

Xiu substitutes for the real Liu Bei in this one. LOLOLOL Love.

K.O. 3an Guo, all I can say, is my guilt pleasure (*blush*). I literally threw my sanity out of the window while watching, laughed like mad for the ridiculousness, squealed hysterically for the romance and even cried for the bromance!!
I always marvel at the writers’ creativity. They weaved that classic ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS into their own bizarre world (multiple timelines, evil spirits, mysterious power, RPG-mixed-martial arts, and fights among high schools) and created so many lovely or hateful or interesting characters.

[dangermousie]

I am only an ep in, but I am addicted. The way they riff on TK is actually clever and the whole drama is hilarious. I literally find myself laughing out loud, which is pretty rare.

Hey, spoil me for OTPs.

Xiu/SX (or is it Real Liu Bei/SX?)
Zhou Yu/XQ
Guan Yu/Diaochan

Am I correct?

Oh, how much I loved that the real Liu Bei was such an evil manipulative skuzzball. Luckily his replacement seems kinda awesome so far.

[magiccard_1]

You are right about the OTPS. Most importantly, they ALL have their happy endings

[dangermousie]

That sounds great!

And yes, I found myself surprised I don't mind GY/DC being the endgame, seeing that I am such a rabid Lu Bu/DC shipper in Three Kingdoms itself but I think it's because it's a clever riff.

[phoenixbasilisk]

and omg, guan yu (the really fast one?) reminds of Wolverine. LOL.

[dangermousie]

OMG, I was thinking who he is reminding me of. You (or is it 'yu') are so so so right. Also, like Wolvie, hot-headed, great at fighting, loyal, and not the brightest. Plus that Wolverine haircut dead-to-rights.

How far in are you? I am only an ep in, but I adore it. Whoever wrote this didn't like Liu Bei at all - talk about a sociopath! But mmmm, Xiu. >>>>>> other version of Liu Bei as far as appeal goes.

[phoenixbasilisk]

Hahahahha, its the haircut that gave it away to me. i know right? ASIAN WOLVIE! all he needs now are a set of claws. XD ...then again he does have a giant sword.

im about 3 eps in. oh hahahah, yeah i agree alt Liu is better than real one!

[dangermousie]

Yeah, I am just finishing ep 3. I have to say, in a cast of attractive guys, Ma Chao's archer friend whose name escapes me = mmmmm and my favorite :)
