I would love to watch some of the really old ones, but it can be difficult to find them. Does anyone have any…
Are there specific ones that you plan to watch? And thank you mjf314 and MidnightKnight for helping out - Much appreciated! I had problems trying to watch/rewatch some older dramas too.
Thanks for the article! A few comments:"Top ranked dramas of the 1980s" is a strange list, because each drama…
Thanks for your comment and sieving out dramas with fewer than 30 ratings - dramas in the 1980s and before are still not as widely watched globally, though many are the classics, and pioneer of many remakes in the subsequent decades. The New Heaven Sword and the Dragon Sabre (1986) by Tony Leung is worth checking out!
And yeah, should have left out "mid" for consistency, though the Korean Wave i felt was stronger in the 2004-5, as more kdramas are exported to more and more countries.
Hopefully, the Japanese production companies will follow the steps of TVB, to make their dramas more accessible to international viewers through subbing and launching their own streaming sites.
Wonderful article again, guys! :) I remembered when I was still a kid during the 90s, Chinese dramas were more…
I had fun reminiscing the times watching dramas with my parents as well while penning this article! Have you watched Alex Su's The Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre (2002)? It is one of my fave in the Condor Heroes Trilogy.
It's really a pity many older Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese dramas have not been subbed. Hopefully, in time to come, they will be subbed and easily accessible to viewers via popular streaming services such as Netflix etc!
Great article! I like the layout of each decade. Some of the older dramas I have heard of but hadn't seen yet.…
Thank you! PP and BB are fun, hilarious watch for the summer! For the Condor Heroes Trilogy, as you have enjoyed The Untamed, you might want to check out The Condor Heroes 95 (1995) for "hidden" cross references :)
When he fell off the cliff, I think the flute fell too, how did Jiang Cheng have it in the last few eps?
i agree it could be both as well. JC is the typical hard-mouthed and soft-hearted kind of person. As a child, he threw WWX out of his room only to be lost and injured trying to locate WWX. He blamed WWX for causing the deaths of his parents, but lured the Wen folks away when he saw WWX in danger of being discovered by the Wen folks, and ended up being caught and lost his golden core. He had wanted to stab WWX, but ended up stabbing into the cliff. They could be best brothers forever if JC's mother had not been always comparing and demeaning him against WWX
for me, it is the pace and the emptiness in the characters, their lives and story, with endless long pauses, sighing,…
Cos i cant relate to this drama, sped through it, and wont be rewatching at all. No idea how FH and contrariness got called out here.. i rated FH 6.5 and ABP 6.0, while you rated FH 4.0 and ABP 7.0 - perhaps i enjoyed FH and ABP for similar reason you enjoyed ABP. i'm disengaging from this thread and this is my last response for this thread.
It blows my mind how such a trashy acting gets high rating!
Seriously, they are not all that bad.. the acting in the first few episodes may feel raw, compounded by confusion, for viewers new to the drama.. the characters and their backstories plus the plot and its messages will eventually make viewers invested in the drama and its characters
Most of the other clans aren't usually working together, more like they're competing all the time. So when the…
Just to add that WRH is the Chief Cultivator then, and there has been a balance of powers among the 5 clans and everyone lives peacefully, until WRH starts to consolidate his power using the Yin Metal, to pave way for his less talented sons (vs the descendants of other clans)
it is interesting, but of different genre from The Untamed. If you enjoy RPG Final Fantasy-style of leveling up…
i can understand Chinese so i watched without sub. If viki does not work for you, you can check out other options in the Where to Watch section, right before Cast & Credits section. hope you will enjoy this drama!
to all: if anyone would like to include boys over flowers, pls hop over to the 2000s list: https://kisskh.at/list/1zEmx8V4
