In recent years, Taiwanese dramas have shown wave after wave of craze, including Wu Kuoren, who had not yet won the honor of actor at that time, and he co-starred with Jia Jingwen in the TV series "The Distance Between Us and Evil".
Such as the popular fried chicken Xu Guanghan's "I Want to See You", Xie Yingxuan's "The Cultivation of a Vulgar Girl", Xu Weining's "She and Her Her", as well as last year's "Lifetime" and "Bad Obsession Eliminator" and other works.
However, when it comes to Taiwanese dramas, the first thing that comes to many people's minds is those plays that took place in the ** decade, many of which are their childhood memories.
In the first decade of the last century, Taiwanese dramas reached their peak, and the Taiwanese dramas produced during that period were not only fascinating in plot, but also quite well-made.
Given that mainland TV dramas are still in their infancy, Taiwanese dramas have managed to enter the mainland market for a period of time.
A series of classic Taiwanese dramas such as "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" and "Joking about Qianlong" have dominated the TV screen, and these classic characters have also won the hearts of the audience, and they are still high-quality works worth watching many times.
Today, we're going to present you with 10 classics from that era, exploring the unique memories that followed.
10, "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" scored 70 points.
The "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" written by Qiong Yao is divided into three series: "Plum Blossom Branding", "Ghost Husband" and "Water and Clouds".
This work depicts three deeply touching love stories: first, a plum blossom brand, and then Bai Yinshuang and Belle Haozhen fell in love at first sight, but finally separated due to the arrangement of fate.
Chen Derong's stunning performance and Ma Jingtao's roar, although the plot is slightly dramatic, still leave a deep impression on people.
In Qiong Yao's TV drama works, the second ghost husband is a work that is rarely criticized as a bloody plot. The heroines Yuan Lemei and Ke Qixuan have experienced multiple difficulties such as separation, reunion and body burns, but they have always maintained an unwavering love between them.
In the context of the three lanes of water and clouds, Chen Derong and Ma Jingtao are still the protagonists, and Chen Hong plays Du Qianqian, the daughter, and Mei Ruohong, the painter, who finally came together after experiencing countless difficulties.
Plum blossoms break people's intestines, plum blossoms make two troubles, plum blossoms three make a storm", although the plot of this drama received a lot of criticism, it was still very popular at the time, and the actors of the trilogy also became famous because of it.
09, He Jiajin's version of "Ma Yongzhen" scored 70 points.
Ma Yongzhen is not only a heroic figure, but also a favorite role of many famous directors, such as Chen Guantai, Bai Biao, Takeshi Kaneshiro, He Jiajin, Chen Guokun and other famous actors have played this role.
The roles of Ma Yongzhen they portray have their own characteristics, and in the minds of the audience, Takeshi Kaneshiro is undoubtedly the most handsome, but He Jiajin is undoubtedly the most representative.
Before He Jiajin participated in the filming of "Ma Yongzhen's Battle for Domination on the Beach", he was already popular for his role as Zhan Zhao in "Bao Qingtian", a loyal, brave and martial arts character, and his heroic image has been deeply imprinted in people's hearts.
In the movie "Ma Yongzhen's Battle for Domination on the Shanghai Beach", He Jiajin successfully created a character of Ma Yongzhen with a strong personality, deep hatred, integrity and selflessness. Relying on his excellent martial arts skills and deep patriotic feelings, he fought fiercely against the two major gangsters in Shanghai, and eventually rose to prominence as the overlord of Shanghai.
08, "Xiao Li Flying Knife" scored 77 points.
Xiao Li's divine knife is incomparable, every time he swings the knife, he will not miss."
The legend that is widely spread in the martial arts is actually a myth that became popular across the country in 1999, and it originated from the Taiwanese drama "Xiao Li Flying Knife".
After the broadcast of this TV series, it quickly became popular across the country, winning widespread love among all ages and genders, and there was an old saying at the time: "You can skip rice, but "Xiao Li Flying Knife" is definitely worth watching".
This TV series successfully created the role of Jiao Enjun, who is known as the "male god of instant noodles".
In this play, he played Li Xunhuan to show his chic, free and deep emotions, which not only won the love of many female characters, but also made the audience outside the play fall in love with it.
Although this drama is a classic, there are also many controversies in it, especially in terms of plot, where too many emotions and love scenes even surpass the chivalrous spirit of the martial arts world.
Unexpectedly, Ah Fei and Wu Jing emerged many years later and became the best in the Chinese film industry.
The version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" has a score of 79 points.
Although this version may not be the most representative, its ** and martial arts design is absolutely top-notch, and when it was introduced to the mainland, it was also hugely popular.
Gold medal producer Yang Peipei has an extraordinary eye for casting, and initially intended to invite Yuan Jieying to play the role of Zhao Min, but she chose to refuse.
Zhao Min played by Ye Tong, although she is slightly deficient in styling, her acting skills are very good, and she successfully depicts the difference between Zhao Min's personality before and after.
Sun Xing's Yang Xiao is recognized as the most handsome and successful Yang Xiao, and his uninhibited, domineering and gentle, affectionate and single-minded image has won the hearts of many girls.
Zhou Zhiruo, played by Zhou Haimei, is generally regarded as the "most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo", and her every look and every movement reveals a strong emotional tension.
Jin Yong spoke highly of her and thought she was the most perfect version. He even said that if he knew that she was starring, he would rewrite the ending of the story for Zhou Zhiruo and make her and Zhang Wuji a couple, but unfortunately, that person has passed away.
06, Meng Fei's version of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" scored 80 points.
As a classic of Mr. Jin Yong, "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" has produced as many as 7 different versions from 1978 to 2006.
The TV series version of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" broadcast in 1991, directed by Li Chaoyong and starring Meng Fei, Tang Zhenzong and others, on the basis of retaining the original work, cleverly added elements such as love, family, and friendship, making this martial arts drama more humane.
The match between the male protagonists Meng Fei and Hu Fei is extremely high, they are both heroic, kind and chivalrous people, which perfectly shapes the image of chivalry in the audience's mind, and Meng Fei has become one of the representatives of the image of "hero".
In addition, the film team put a lot of effort into the scene design, not only showing the fierce martial arts scenes, but also incorporating some advanced special effects technology, making the martial arts scenes more shocking and showing the unique charm of the martial arts world.
05, in "A Generation of Queens", the score is 82 points.
"A Generation of Empresses", as a TV series describing Wu Zetian's life, is undoubtedly a successful work. When the show premiered in 1985, it aroused great social attention and set a record for the highest ratings in the history of television in Taiwan Province.
Pan Yingzi, known as the most representative one of Wu Zetian, was 36 years old when she made her debut.
Although her face is full of collagen, everything seems so harmonious when she plays the young Wu Meiniang, her bright face, flower-like smile and innocent temperament all give people a girlish feeling.
In order to better show Wu Zetian's domineering and majesty, Pan Yingzi gained 30 pounds of weight in a short period of time, and her eyebrows revealed a strong domineering.
It is precisely because of Pan Yingzi's respect for her work that Wu Zetian, who she plays, has been able to withstand nearly 40 years of ups and downs and still maintain her classic status.
04, "Joking about Qianlong" scored 83 points.
Among the ancient emperors, Emperor Qianlong was undoubtedly a special favorite of directors and screenwriters."
The TV series "Joking about Qianlong" broadcast in 1991 can be called a textbook among many works, and it has set a new benchmark for joke historical dramas.
The thinking of the characters in this play is more modern, and most of the plot is fictional, which makes the audience more immersed in it.
In this drama, the image of Emperor Qianlong created by Zheng Shaoqiu is both handsome and chic, but also exudes composure in his majesty.
The chance encounter with Cheng Huaixiu was full of deep emotions, and this version of Emperor Qianlong seemed to have penetrated into the ordinary people.
This TV series also set a lot of records during the broadcast, with the highest audience rating of a single episode reaching 41% at one point, and some viewers even had a traffic accident because they were in a hurry to go home**.
The show also aroused widespread social attention after it was broadcast in Chinese mainland, and Zheng Shaoqiu was hailed as "the most popular figure in the Jinghua region".
03, Jin Chaoqun's version of "Bao Qingtian" scored 83 points.
When it comes to Bao Qingtian, he is almost a household name, and although his complexion is slightly dark, he is an upright, impartial and selfless person, and handles cases like a god.
There are also quite a lot of film and TV works with Bao Qingtian as the theme, such as the TV series "Bao Qingtian" starring Dillon and Huang Rihua, and the follow-up "Young Bao Qingtian" starring Zhou Jie.
However, the 1993 "Bao Qingtian" starring Jin Chaoqun is undoubtedly a difficult version to match.
There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, the iron-faced selfless discerning loyalty and treachery, the heroes of the rivers and lakes come to help, and the dynasty and Mahan are by his side", this familiar melody almost runs through the childhood and youth of the post-80s and 90s.
Jin Chaoqun successfully created an image of Bao Gong who is both majestic and domineering, steady and full of compassion, which forms a perfect fusion with the historical figures in the audience's minds.
In addition, He Jiajin's Zhanzhao and Fan Hongxuan's Gongsun Ce both left an unforgettable impact on the audience.
It is remarkable that this version of "Bao Qingtian" is co-directed by 15 directors, and the number of episodes is as high as 236.
02, in "Huanzhu Gege", the score is 85 points.
Many people may always remember that spring of 1998, when a costume TV series debuted and quickly climbed to the highest ratings of mainland TV dramas, and the ratings continued to climb and had a huge impact in Southeast Asia.
This TV series successfully made many actors such as Ruby Lin, Zhou Jie, and Su Youpeng quickly popular.
Even though many years have passed, whenever the show is back on the air, it will always attract a large number of loyal viewers to sit in front of the TV**.
The second work of "Huanzhu Gege", which was released the following year, set a new audience rating record at that time.
The role of Concubine Xiang has become the focus of imitation by many young girls, especially her unique charm that can attract butterflies, making her a childhood goddess in everyone's hearts.
Subsequently, "Huanzhu Gege Part III" and "New Huanzhu Gege" appeared one after another, but due to factors such as character changes and plot development, these two dramas did not return to their previous glory, but received some criticism.
01. In "The Legend of the New White Lady", the score is 91 point.
I believe that people born in the 80s and 90s should be no stranger to the work "The Legend of the New White Lady" starring Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong, and it can even be said that they are already very familiar.
When the melody of "Waiting for a Thousand Years" sounded, the white snake played by Zhao Yazhi began to spin in everyone's thoughts.
This TV series is undoubtedly a classic, especially the role of Xu Xian played by Ye Tong, which has almost become a bottleneck in the career of a female pretend. At that time, the audience barely noticed that Xu Xian was actually a woman.
Last year's "White Snake Legend 30th Anniversary Concert" was full, and when the theme song sounded, almost the audience sang together, and fans praised "Ye Qinghui", which is enough to prove the classics of this TV series.
In addition to the previous mentioned, of course, there are many other classic works, so in your childhood memories, which Taiwanese drama left the deepest impression on you?
