This listing is based purely on the music and OST factor. Not only the opening and ending songs are considered but also the soundtrack, music score and insert songs.

1. The Legend of the Condor Heroes
Hong Kong Drama - 1983, 59 episodes
The OST was a premium grade, memorable for years.
The above review is based on a dubbed version and not the original in Cantonese.
I compared versions and found the OST from the Cantonese one different and somewhat not as good as the dubbed version.

2. The Good Old Days
Hong Kong Drama - 1996, 105 episodes
The music score for the good old days was great. Really fitting with scenes. Theme song is sweet too!
-
3. Twin of Brothers
Hong Kong Drama - 2004, 42 episodes
A lengthy drama for its time, for the story which I grow to love and then hate. Costume, hairstyle and fighting scene are forgettable.
But I have to give credit where it is due, and the OST is awesome and cinematographically wise, it was remarkable.

4. Sweet Home
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
-
5. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
This rating is not only for the drama adaptation but also for the animation and the audio drama.
Love and care were given to the OST. One gotta appreciate the effort put into it. Good job!

6. The Romance of the White-Hair Maiden
Hong Kong Drama - 1995, 20 episodes

8. Against the Blade of Honour
Hong Kong Drama - 1995, 20 episodes
I liked the music score very much. The theme song has set the tone for this drama and it was lovely.
-
9. The Blood Stained Intrigue
Hong Kong Drama - 1986, 40 episodes
This drama might not be the best production done by TVB, but the soundtrack was on point and memorable. The timing was great, it delivers to match with the scene, whether it is an emotional scene or a fighting scene.
Worth watching for the story and for the music score!

10. Heroes from Shaolin
Hong Kong Drama - 1993, 20 episodes
I can never forget that scene with Amy's character dying on the steps in front of the monastery. Likewise, I truly loved the song by Gigi Lai as well along with the music score.

11. The Snow Is Red
Hong Kong Drama - 1996, 40 episodes
Haha I actually think that the OST was the best thing about this drama. I didn't like the opening song. But I really like the ending song... Sang by the male lead Andrew.
