Hi everyone,
I'm a big fan of TVB(formerly known as TVBI) drama series,
particular swordfighting & police series. The 90s used to
be the peak then...showing on CH 8(now TCS 8) very often when the
korean, taiwan & china tv market
hasn't boom yet. sadly these days TVB hongkong
series are amongst the least watched drama in sg. But i'm gonna
talk abt swordfighting series here.
No offence to the younger generation who like the swordfighing
series of today. But i'm can't find myself liking the post 2000 era
swordfighting dramas directed by china tv. As i personally feel dat
too much CG is used. It's more like a matrix feel
than real swordfighting. And i always feel dat the TVB actors
& actresses are so much better looking than the china ones.
Also, they(TVB) act with more passion & are more
naturally. The series theme songs are great too, sung by jacky
cheung, sammi cheng, emil chau to name a few.
My point here is not to debate...but rather show the people here
who had liked TVB swordfighting series a few forgotten dramas
previously shown on CH 8 in the 90s. NOT the famous ones like
Legend & Return of Condor Heroes, but rather those dat had not
been remake. They are just opening themes, not any part of the
drama. The younger ones who had not watch b4 if u like it u
can search for it online. Enjoy :)
