I think he always found her 'interesting'.

I think he was found/ really liked mulan as a guy, and when he found out that she was a girl, fell for her in a "love" sort of way. :D

yea that makes since cuz u can see hes as u say 'interested' but unless hes bi, i bet he was happy shes a girl

but doesn't make shang as a gay xD

well he always liked her as a troop member but seemed to mad at her to fall in love with her after he found out she was a girl. still he didn't seem like he was in love with her at the end of the movie in my opinion.

Hehe...I like this answer makes me lol =P

Just 4fun!!! ;)

I dont think hes gay as such but i think he was developing feelings for 'Ping' but yeah.. lol

He's not gay! I think He fell in love with Her after He found out She was a Girl!

yeah, he probably liked her. then found out she was a girl and probably realized by the way she acted around the guys that she was a girl all along. then he fell in love with her.

I think it was one of those things where he was in love with her, but didn't really realize it because he still saw her as a man. Then when it turned out she was a female it was like "Oh...so that's what that was all about."

lol Yaoi

LOL. Of course, he fell for Ping. I bet he makes Mulan dress up as a man for "roleplay".

he was relieved when it turned out to be a girl complementing him in a girly way. XD but im sure he was mad when he found out that a girl was beating him while training

he admired her when she was pretending to be a guy. Then when he found out she was a girl the admiration grew.

"Ping" was his friend but he fell in love with Mulan

@fiina, totally, he was a friend with "Ping" and fell in love with Mulan

No in the begining he hated 'ping' lol

LOL this is one of the best things I like about this movie. They make you toy with their relationship when she was still Ping. But I don't believe Shang was gay. What I think it was is during all of the training and after his life was saved, he saw her as a good friend before her secret was given away.

I think Shang liked her as a friend when she was masquerading as Ping but then those feelings grew when he found out she was a girl

I don't know, but I DID know someone was gonna call him that

i always thought that they had an interesting relationship but i agree with this one

I think he thought of her as a close friend before.

Here's what I think: Shang came to trust and respect Ping based on "his" actions (especially the avalanche and the subsequent rescue of Shang), but I think he would have questioned his state of mind if he had truly developed romantic feelings for the person he believed to be Ping. When Ping's true gender was uncovered, Shang was hurt that the "man" he came to trust and respect turned out not to be who "he" claimed to be. Although Shang showed compassion by not killing Mulan, he did throw her aside in the snow-covered mountains, which showed how hurt he felt. This even carried over to subsequent events, when Shang refused to heed Mulan's warning of the looming danger of the surviving enemy forces, and was initially reluctant to participate in Mulan's plan for the final battle. When Shang saw some of the basic elements of Mulan's plan, he decided to lend a helping hand, while noticing how beautiful Mulan looked when dressed in feminine clothing. Then, during the course of the final battle, he noticed that Mulan was still the same selfless, courageous, intelligent, and determined person that she had been while disguised as Ping, which helped restore his trust in Mulan. That, combined with the fact that Mulan was female (and a beautiful one when dressed in appropriate clothing), made Shang fall for her.

I think that he had feelings for Mulan even at the time when he didn't knew that she was a woman.
