Lonely hero.

I also watched this TV series when I was very young. I didn't watch every episode, and I didn't remember even a complete plot, but I firmly remembered the name: Heroes and Lions.

I always remember the weird guy with long hair, ragged clothes and never smiling face, and also remember the woman who miraculously fell in love with this monster.

There is no loud music, and almost half of the shots are projected in night and darkness. That lone hero is always far away from the crowd, hiding underground. What's on his mind? Why can he live alone?

Why can a person live alone and silently? And stay safe! !

A man's darkness and loneliness, and his innermost tenderness that hardly anyone knows (except his lover).


I like this TV series, I like it so much... I really want to watch it again...

Beauty and the Beast quotes

  • [opening credits narration]

    Vincent: This is where the wealthy and the powerful rule. It is her world... a world apart from mine. Her name... is Catherine. From the moment I saw her, she captured my heart with her beauty, her warmth, and her courage. I knew then, as I know now, she would change my life... forever.

    Catherine Chandler: He comes from a secret place, far below the city streets, hiding his face from strangers, safe from hate and harm. He brought me there to save my life... and now, wherever I go, he is with me, in spirit. For we have a bond stronger than friendship or love. And although we cannot be together, we will never, ever be apart.

  • Father: [referring to Vincent's relationship with Catherine] I sometimes feel that I'm standing on the bank of a raging river watching you try to swim across. How can I not worry? I'd be a fool. And yet, Vincent, sometimes I have to marvel at your courage.

    Vincent: Catherine swims across that river as well. She faces the same dangers, shows the same courage. And in many ways the toll on her is even greater.

    Father: You really think that's so?

    Vincent: On the other side of the river there is no one standing on the bank watching. On her side of the river there is no one praying for a safe passage. On her side of the river, Father, there is no one but Catherine.

    Father: Then I shall stand watch, and pray, for both of you.
