In the glittering film and television memory, Taiwanese TV dramas always have their unique status. In those years, the stories we followed together were not only a witness of time, but also an emotional bond. This article will take you to revisit those classic Taiwanese dramas, each of which carries the imprint of our youthful memories and dreams. From the martial arts passion of "The Legend of Jianghu" to the chivalrous style of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", these stories unfold one by one, let us immerse ourselves in the unique film and television charm of that era, and reminisce about those classic moments that were once empty.
1, "The Legend of Jianghu".
This drama shows the screenwriter's deep understanding of the characters and in-depth analysis of society, and the lines are elegant and vivid. Among them, the performances of veteran actors are particularly outstanding. Emperor Kangxi played by Chen Honglie has a unique style that is different from the past in his majesty. In addition, Che Xuan, who played Lu Liuliang, and Ji Chenggong, who played Cao Yin, both left an unforgettable impression. Their acting skills are impressive, which adds a lot to the show.
2, "Central Plains Dart Game".
I remember the drama ** in my childhood, and I feel profound. Now I want to reminisce about the old plot, but I regret the lack of subtitles. The plot of the heroine practicing Xi swordsmanship with strips of cloth is unforgettable, and was even imitated at the time. It's a pity that Yuan Biao quit the crew in the later period. The film and television works of that era were known for their wonderful scripts and realistic shooting scenes, and the popularity of color television also added color to the TV dramas of this period.
3, "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness".
Zhanzhao played by Jiao Enjun in the play, his expression was full of emotion and justice, sometimes showing sympathy, sometimes fighting with Bai Yutang. Even in the context that Ho's version of Zhanzhao has become very popular, Jiao Enjun still won the audience's love with this role. His tall figure and handsome face, especially those peach blossom eyes, made a deep impression.
4, "The Legend of Xiang Shuai".
When Zheng Shaoqiu starred in this "Legend of Xiang Shuai", although he was nearly fifty years old, his interpretation of Chu Liuxiang's role was still amazing. His demeanor and temperament are impressive. Shangguan Wuji played by Yang Lijing is also a classic. Although this drama has almost nothing to do with the original book except for the names of the people, it fully reflects the style of Taiwanese movies in the 90s, which is light-hearted and pleasant, smooth in martial arts, and pleasant.
5, "Bodyguard".
In the "Bodyguard" trilogy, this work has the most delicate character portrayal, wonderful martial arts scenes, and profound cultural heritage, which is my favorite one. Still, when the plot nears the end, the emotional line drags a little, perhaps because modern audiences already know something about this type of story. However, the love and grudge in the martial arts world are still an indispensable element, after all, we were all young people with martial arts dreams.
6, "The Legend of the Beggar Emperor".
The role of Pei Yao in the play makes people feel sympathy. However, as the plot develops, she appears to be a little selfish. She mistakenly thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's tolerance represented future peace, but she did not realize that the resurgence of war was inevitable. The plot of this part reflects the cruelty of history, showing that even the emperor's forgiveness could not change the determination of the subordinate generals. The drama's depiction of that turbulent period is thought-provoking.
7, "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".
It took me half a year to finish watching this drama. Although it is not considered a re**, because I haven't watched the show in its entirety before, I am very impressed with its theme song. Now re**, in addition to the beauty of the hero's and heroine's winter clothes, other aspects seem to be slightly rough. Many scenes are reused in the play, but the court scenes and costumes involving Fukangan are quite well made. Cheng Lingsu, played by Gong Cien, left a gentle impression.
8, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
This version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is a fond memory of my childhood, especially the interpretation of Zhou Zhiruo, which left a deep impression. The development of the plot dragged on a bit, but it also became a misunderstanding in my childhood: Zhou Zhiruo seemed to be more beautiful than Zhao Min. Therefore, no matter which version, I prefer the story of Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo. This version of the martial arts design is particularly good, and despite the decline in the later stages, the overall performance is still the best of all time.
9, "The Condor Heroes".
This Taiwanese-produced "Condor Heroes" has a better look and feel than other works of the same period. Due to space limitations, it does not add unnecessary plots like the Hong Kong version, but is largely faithful to the original. Although the actors' performances are insufficient, on the whole, this drama can still be smooth**. In the past, I always confused "The Heroes of China" with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but it seems that I like "The Heroes of China" a little more, but unfortunately it is difficult to find the full series now.
10, "Xiao Li Flying Knife".
This is a drama from my childhood, and it can be called a classic. The image of Xiao Li's flying knife in the play, even if it is a bubble noodle head, can also show a suave temperament. When I was a child, I liked the character of Xiao Li Feidao very much, he is not only handsome and elegant, but also full of a sense of justice and affection. However, when I grew up, I gradually realized that his love tragedy was actually self-inflicted, and his disrespect for Lin Shiyin was also a problem. Yu Feihong, Jia Jingwen, Wu Jing and other actors also performed very well.
Looking back on the ten Taiwanese dramas we have chased together over the years, every picture seems to reappear in front of us again. They not only tell a moving story, but also inadvertently record the footprints of our growth. These works are like containers of time, carrying our laughter, tears and dreams. Maybe the years will pass, but these classic Taiwanese dramas will always be stored in the depths of our memories and become the eternal imprint of youth in our hearts.
