Fox Volant on Snowy Mountain 雪山飛狐

15 December 2007

Yes I am certainly a sucker for Chinese soap opera, especially a Wuxia one, even if it is overly sappy and ridiculous. I mean this one seems to teach that heroes will have a terrible life, and villains a much better one, and most people who fall off mountains survive, but I still did enjoy [...]

Wind & Cloud 2 (風雲 2), Chinese Soap Opera (2004)

6 May 2007

I had to see this. I am already a huge fan of the Andrew Lau Wai Keung film THE STORMRIDERS 风云, and ever since I heard there was a Television series that starred Zhou Wen Zhou I knew I had to see it. Unfortunately the first series did not have subtitles, and this version of [...]

Strange Tales of Liaozhai 聊斋

18 January 2007

Yes I do enjoy Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwanese Soap Operas, though the ones I watch are nothing like American soap operas. Most featuring crazy martial arts, and this one being a supernatural tale, or tales I should say. In fact this is actually 6 tales, all adapted from the STRANGE TALES OF LIAO ZHI [...]

The Seven Swordsmen - Qi Jian Xia Tian Shan - 七劍下天山 (2005)

16 July 2006

This is the Hong Kong, Korean and Chinese co-Production of the Television Series that is based on the same story as the recent Tsui Hark ?? film called the Seven Swords (he also produced this and is listed as one of the screenwriters, unfortunately I can’t say which is more accurate to the original story [...]

Kung Fu Soccer, Hong Kong Soap Opera (2005)

4 October 2005

This show was so much fun, sure it doesn’t ever have real soccer going on, it has a lot more in common with Shaolin Soccer, than anything to do with actual soccer. And the cast, damn this show has a cast, it seem so many people at least make cameos in it, the Twins, and [...]

Number One In the World (Hero) Taiwanese Soap Opera (2005)

5 July 2005

This is the 3rd Taiwanese soap opera I have watched in a row, and I must say by far the best. Sure this one has some silly elements, but overall it is an intricate martial arts drama with great characters, great twists and awesome fight scenes. I absolutely loved this show! And it was sad, [...]

15 April 2005

I really enjoyed this Taiwanese soap opera comedy. It is completely off the wall silly, but has romance and action and adventure. I highly recommend this show.

Mars - Taiwanese Soap Opera (2004)

21 March 2005

OK I fell for this show. My girlfriend Nan Lan from Chengdu, China kept calling me a fool for liking this show, but is her fault. She was watching THE YANG FAMILY the Taiwanese soap opera that had Ti Lung in it, so I have been checking channel 18, KSCI at it’s 7 PM Mandarin [...]
