K.O. 3an Guo v. Three Kingdoms: let's compare

[dangermousie]

This is just a fun post of "Mousie has time" variety. Just for the heck of it, here is a side by side visual comparison/coordination of KO characters and their traditional Three Kingdoms counterparts (as portrayed in TK 2010).

Victor Huang as Zhou Yu is the only reason I gave this a try last week. However, now that I have officially jumped on the bandwagon, the history of this time period is quite fascinating. I've even placed a hold on the English translation by Moss Roberts at my local library and plan to tackle the book in a few days, right after I wrap up all of my school assignments.

BTW: Does anyone else agree with me that Victor Huang is like a cross between Louis Koo (his eyes especially) and Hawick Lau (his smile)....or am I just crazy? XD

I can sort of see this, re Victor. In any event, he is undubtedly a handsome man. I plan to check out Paladins in Troubled Times asap, for him.

I am reading a different translation (a more modern one) so while I cannot comment on Roberts' translation in particular, at least in my translation, the story is a huge eal of fun.

I am glad you made this comment because I'm watching Paladins in Troubled times and was going to ask if that was him when I saw the pic.

Uhm...he looks better with the 3K hair. Or at least more mature.

Uh... if I may...

The non-KO Shang Xiang you have is from the Red Cliff movie. This is her TK 2010 incarnation (though under a different name):

I have no idea how I screwed up SX as I've both seen Red Cliff and know what Ruby Lin looks like.

Yes, beardless is the way to go, in 99% of these things.
