this is my first thread and it might sound a little emasculated, but I'd like to know about your favourite love-stories. They can be taken from any media, really (or even real life). Pictures, songs, poems, those Asian comics, dramas, books, whatever floats your boat. The format I had in mind: Title: Medium: Short description: Why do I like it: | ||

Medium: Books/film Short description: Two young travelers make their way to Mordor to save the world and fall in love at the same time. Why do I like it: My favorite thing about it was that I could never figure out who was the giver and who was the taker in the relationship. Sometime's I thought Frodo but then sometimes Sam! Could never tell | ||

Medium: Anime/Manga Short description: A story of forbidden love! A villain and a police chief fall in love with each other but their main objective is to take each other out. Also they both struggle with coming out as homosexuals. Why do I like it: It's a pretty good (albeit tragic) love story carefully hidden behind a facade of deceit and danger. Also it really opens your eyes how hard it is to live as a homosexual in todays society. | ||

Medium: South Korean Drama Short description: Korean Drama about a materialistic self-centered spoiled prosecutor, who through a series of events begins to re-evaluate her life changing it for the better. A love story is woven into the her tribulations as a prosecutor, and this slowly changes her life. Why do I like it: It starts off as a pretty typical K-Drama. However, it is the characters that really pull you in. The ending is also the best ending I've ever seen from a K-Drama heartwarming and cheesy, the ending is why I like this Drama so much - I won't spoil it.The drama is very cheesy, but I enjoyed it. 그리고, 본후에 내 한국어 노력이 좋아졌어요. 조금만 ㅋㅋㅋ Edit: I feel like I'm the only post that isn't going to be a troll response... Do i get some kind of reward? I'd like a cookie 0_o | ||

Title: Say Anything Medium: Film Short description: Two new high-school grads form a relationship over the summer, working through their mutual issues. Why do I like it: This is how all romantic comedies should be. Hilarious for all the right reasons, the right touch of "coming of age," and enough seriousness to set up some really dramatic moments. Title: Jane Eyre Medium: Book/Films Short Description: Governess in 19th century England has a mind of her own, and falls in love with her employer who has his own dark secrets. Why do I like it: I feel like most romances create really arbitrary conflicts between the guy and the girl based on absolutely ridiculous misunderstandings. Here the conflicts feel much more real and I at least actually feel for the characters when their morals and their emotions are pulling them in opposite directions. | ||

Medium: One of the early main novels that pioneered the ENTIRE KUNGFU (well, superhuman fictional kungfu) lore popular in China today, it has been made into countless TV shows, games, etc. Short description: War + Knowledge + Power + Heroism + Fame + Infamy + fucktons of amazing kungfu lore are abundant throughout the novel, and everything more or less relates to the most important event - the undying love between the male and female protagonists. I can't really describe too much without spoiling the story, so I'll put it this way: it's slightly similar to Romeo and Juliet in that both characters were ready and gave their lives for each other, but... they did it MULTIPLE times, over the time span of almost 20 years. Most intense love story you'll ever read, guaranteed. Wiki plot spoiler: + Show Spoiler + The protagonist, Yang Guo, is the orphaned son of the antagonist, Yang Kang, of the first novel. He is raised briefly by the couple Guo Jing and Huang Rong before being sent to the Quanzhen Sect for better guidance in moral values and orthodox martial arts. At Quanzhen, Yang Guo is often picked on and bullied by his fellow students and his teacher Zhao Zhijing is biased against him. Yang Guo flees and ventures unknowingly into the nearby Tomb of the Living Dead, where the Ancient Tomb Sect is housed. He is saved by Xiaolongnü, a mysterious maiden of unknown origin, and becomes her disciple. They live together in the tomb for many years until Yang Guo grows up. After being attacked by Li Mochou, they leave the tomb and stay on the mountain. Xiaolongnü develops romantic feelings for Yang Guo and after a while, he too falls in love with her. However, their love is forbidden by societal laws in the Confucianist society of that time. Throughout the story, their love meets with several tests, such as the misunderstandings that threaten to tear them apart and the encounter with Gongsun Zhi. Finally, after their reunion and marriage, Xiaolongnü leaves Yang Guo again, owing to her belief she cannot recover from a fatal poison, and promises to meet him again sixteen years later. While Yang Guo is wandering the land alone, he meets several formidable pugilists and a giant Condor. His adventures gradually mould him into a courageous pugilist, whose prowess matches the Greats of his age. Yang Guo serves his nation by helping the Han Chinese of Song defeat the Mongol invaders. At the end of the novel, he is finally reunited with Xiaolongnü and they are recognized as heroes. Why do I like it: read description. Be sure to check out a translation of the novel first, because most of the good kungfu lore is lost through film adaptations simply because well, how the fuck is an actor supposed to act that he's channeling "internal energy"?

Title:Eyeshield 21 Medium:Manga Short description: Football. With blackmail, lots of guns and other fun stuff. Why do I like it: Guy employes girl as football team manager. Consistently swears at her (and the rest of the team), blackmails her (and the rest of the team), laughs his ass off at her (and the rest of the team) and manipulates her (and the rest of the team). Title:Clannad, Clannad After Story Medium:Anime Short description: Boy meets girl. They get together. And you see what happens after that. Why do I like it: Actually explores the relationship AFTER he gets the girl as well after graduation in a career. So not just a year or two of someone's life but a good chunk of it. And it's beautiful. HOLY SHIT I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING. Okay, the above is good but nothing compared to this one. Title:Baccano Medium:Anime/Light Novel Short description: Ladd Russo Enjoys Talking a Lot and Killing a Lot. Why do I like it: Because Ladd's awesome. ![[image loading]](http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ladd_2847.bmp) ![[image loading]](http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lua_795.bmp) (Ladd and Lua soar through the air uncontrollably) "Just let this moment be what it is. I wish I could kill you right now and forever." (Grins as they are about to collide with a water tower) | ||
