TVB- Vampire expert
China- the first EVER Journey to the West
Korean- Endless Love
japan- Orange Days
taiwan- the original love in the rain?
taiwan - erm... one with Liu Xue Hua with her movie daughter Bo Ting Ting
(i guess it's from Qiong Yao)
china - ohh...can't remember
tvb - the legend of Luk Siu Fung (version 1986) still love the main song
korea - endless love
japan - god, please give me more time (with Takeshi Kaneshiro)
singapore - don't watch it
Bo ting ting.. sounds like A walk in the old courtyard.. or something like that
but anyways, for me.. it is hard to say. I think i was watching series in my mom's belly.. i don't know which i was
korean: full house
taiwanese: silence
haven't watched any japanese series yet
Hong Kong - can't remember, i've watched too much of them and now i got all of them confused together.
taiwanese - HZGG
Korean - Model (i think..at least that's what i can remember)
Japanese - i've just finished watching Hana Yori Dango recently.
TVB -- "Golden Faith"...I remember the first two TVB series I watched both had Jessica Hsuan. My second was "Life Made Simple."
Wait scratch that - my first TVB was actually their version of "Duke of Mount Deer."
Taiwan -- "Huan Zhu Ge Ge," of course
Mainland -- can't recall...seen too many. I think it was most likely one of those ancient series that my parents used to watch though. I do remember my first Mainland wuxia adaptation was "Tian Long Ba Bu."
Korean -- "Endless Love"...I think I've only seen two Kdramas total -- Endless Love and Da Chang Jin.
Japanese -- Hana Yori Dango...my one and only.
Think I got all of them. Never seen any Singaporean or ATV.
I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know? -Ernest Hemingway
Okay, I'm gonna try to dig out my memory.
My first TVB serie was The Legend of Wonder Lady (Yeung Pan Pan) followed by LOCH '83.
From ATV --> has got to be Reincarnated.
Taiwanese --> don't laugh...but it was Meteor Garden, was curious what the hype was all about regarding that serie. Later on followed by Legendary Siblings and the list goes on.
Korean --> Glass Shoes.
American serie --> Who's the Boss, definitely.
Japanese --> GTO, I had a good laugh with this.
When I wake up in the morning I always remind myself to 'Seize the Day.'
Taiwanese: Meteor Garden
Japanese: Pride
Korean: Lovers in Paris
haven't seen any tvb series...
it was way way back wen i was 4, the series SMILING PROUD WANDERER...
Japanese - Probably Oshin, though I had a very good impression of Volleyball Girls (排球女将) - not sure which was shown earlier; hiatus for about 10 years then 101 Proposals.
ATV - 胜者为王 is the earliest I can remember. Jackie Lui from this was my first celebrity crush.
TVB - Too many to remember - probably HSDS with Tony Leung.
China - Either Journey to the West or Dream of Red Mansion.
Korean - Hotelier.
Taiwan - Six Dreams - Wanjun. This has fuelled my distaste for Taiwanese series ever since; the only one I could stand was Mute Wife (哑妻)
Singapore - can't remember - could've been 雾锁南洋 or whichever series I could understand in the early 80s.
Wow, I like this thread a lot. Nice to go back into my memory bank and answer it.
tvb series ~ New Adventures of Chor Lau Heung 84. My mom told me I have been watching with her since I was 3 years old or so. But my memory only recalls 1984 and after. So this is my first series that my mind remembers of me watching.
China series ~ Journey to the West 1986
Korean series ~ Winter Sonata. Did not watch the whole thing. Have never start to watch a Korean drama. I only watch with my mom during times she watches while I do my computer stuff in the background.
Taiwan series ~ Probably a Liu Xue Hua series. Romance in the Rain. If not, Empress Wu starring Vivian Fan.
ATV Series ~ On the Waterfront starring Kenneth Tsang and some girl. Also has Michelle Mai Suet in it.
Japanese series ~ Not yet.
Singapore series ~ Viet title was "Anh Hung Le Buoc". A bunch of soldiers going into the chinese army (time period was after the Qing dynasty was overthrown).
Mine was THE FATAL IRONY, a TVB series that dates to *1974*. I think I saw it in 1977 or 1978.
There was an earlier (non-TVB) production of JUSTICE PAO (maybe made in Taiwan) that was shown on Chinese television (such as it was) in Southern California around 1976 or 1977 as well. Chinese-language television programming was limited to an hour per week on public TV in those days.
Actually, my first series was Jin Fen Shi Jia.
So:
China-Jin Fen Shi Jia
Korea-Dae Jang Geum
Taiwan-HZGG
TVB-LOCH 83
Haven't watched series from Japan, ATV, or Singapore yet.
hu ge, yang mi, yuan hong, liu shishi.
wang luodan, li guangjie.
haha - been watching since "forever" but these are the list of which came into my mind after much consideration. most probably incorrect tho.
TVB - ROCH 95
Korean - Winter Sonata
Japan - should be one of the Takuya Kimura old dramas, dun remember which
Taiwan - Meteor Garden
Singapore - can't remember coz i've been watchin since a baby, compare to
dramas from other countries which i watch after i grew older
Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.
