Personally I really dislike series set in this time period, but I noticed as of late TVB's been making a lot of series in this time period. Most notably The Charm Beneath, War and Destiny (filming), Au Revoir Shanghai (filming), Spies and Dangerous Love (filming). I find series in this Era are really boring, it would be better to make the series either Modern or Ancient and keep it to that.

HAHa, I simply think that these series are too old and it's black and white. Sometimes Malaysian chinese program do play some of these old series. My grandma luvs to watch them.

I don't like time period either. The story is usually depressing and sad in this period dramas.

oo i HATE these series..its like the series in between ancient series and modern..its when the europeans have come to china. it has that really depressing feeling to it and i dont like their costumes

the time is quite interesting, mostly involve alot of complicated love story right? set aside the war and black time

Oh i love this time period, but not all series at this period might be good. Plain Love 2 was the best. Can't wait for War and destiny and Dance Of Passion, looking really good

HAHa I've no comments on them already but I really think plain love 2 has quite similarities with those old series.

I really don't mind what era the series is set in as long as the storyline and casts are good. I think those eras can have good storylines, if planned well enough.

I wouldn't mind watching some of the series in this period. I think there were alot of elements in that period worth watching because of its relationship with the Great Depression and World War 1 and 2. Might take awhile to get over the Black and White but it should shed a delightful insight into the period. Great history lesson as well.


enjoy the film

well I dont like that time period either but dont think there are so many serie in that period I've seen

I actually quite like dramas set in this time period. I guess it's because of the change of culture and tradition, the disappearance of the traditional way of life and the modern society beginning to emerge. Ok, I don't think that even makes sense xD Series set in this time period usually involves more conflict. I really like the costume from this era actually, love that whole nostalgic feel.

Not to keen on movies made during this time though as they were mainly silent films or really bad-quality talkies.

i like it ah.. i love history..
that's why i love watching all the ancient series..
of because including 1920-1930 period series..

i have to see what one it is;

forgot what's its called.

there's a 1920-1930 starring DODO CHENG & SUNNY CHAN "shanghai"?
Man Zhi Leung & Michelle Yim/ Kenix Kwok & Frankie Lam "wan li chang cheng"?
Nadia Chan & Leon Lai "tian ya ge nu" (this one i remember first saw, that i notice is 1920-1930. didn't like it. just the only one i know of Nadia; other Nadia "wonton queen", "hotel wonton?"
i have a date with spring ? is 1940-1950? sheren teng

i don't have opinion on 1920-1930. must have some i like. the thing i notice of these period; is the dance-girls & the band. you know the dance girls who sit & drink with the smoking man? they are the standard dance-girls; unlike the later ones who are less dance & the other kinds.

I actually like them. The ones I like are When Easterly Showers Fall on The Sunny West, Point of No Return, Glittering Days, Charm Beneath and War and Destiny....

isnt glittering days 1970s?

if it is a good story then its find, but I don't like how they dress in the 20s.

That time period series are often depressing, especially when the theme is on the war. But I actually rather like the costumes. I believe, if it is given a good plot, this period series can be enjoyable. Some of the series from this time period that I like is The Charm Beneath and The W Files.

I think the series from this time period can be enjoyable if they focus more on family matters (like the Charm Beneath) and add on more comedy (like The W Files).

Being a huge fan of Nnadia Chan so I loved watching

Song Bird
Beside the seaside beside the sea
Once upon a time in Shanghai

The rememberance ( I think its called that?) first ever TVB series with Julian Cheung and Kenix Kwok was good.

Down Memory Lane starring real life couples Frankie Lam and Kenix Kwok was great.

Hmm this is way before I was born, therefore I don't really know any dramas at the time, all I know is it is black & white with flickering pics, personally I don't like it.

i like to watch series from this period. so far the ones and one you mention is pretty good. so far the only one that i didn't like is Au Revoir Shanghai.

It's called "Once Upon a Time in Shanghai" (the 1996 remake of "The Bund")...

When I watch series, I watch more for the plot and the actors/actresses than the time period. In my opinion, some of the 1920's/1930's era series were quite good -- I wouldn't say all, but there were some...

One of my favorite series from that era was "Remembrance" starring Julian Cheung and Kenix Kwok...the theme song to this series was also absolutely awesome!
