It seems like no one ever talks about 80s dramas on MDL, so let's try to change that. What are your favorites? And which ones are you planning to watch?
I've only watched two so far:
The Bund (1980, HK)
Journey to the West (1986, China)
I'm not sure which one I liked more. Both are very good, but very different. Journey to the West is a fun fantasy adventure, and many people consider this version the best adaptation of the novel. The Bund is a more serious crime drama, which some reviews have compared to The Godfather.
I also have a few on my plan to watch list: Legend of the Condor Heroes (1983, HK), Oshin (1983, Japan), Dream of the Red Chamber (1987, China)
