onesnowyday 1,315 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hong Kong (cantonese) dramas are probably watched the least compared to CH/TW dramas. I'm curious as to how many people here watch it though. Because there are some sites that sub HK dramas. I've been watching them since I was little and I can tell that the quality of the shows have dropped a lot since then. Do you watch them? Do you like them?

🌹fcrew 4 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Tried to watch Line Walker, since I've heard it a as quite good. Dropped it. Just could not get into it. Perhaps, it was the language or the dated feel of the drama. Sent from my iPad using OneHallyu mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my fav thou, cuz the story/filming/background.. everything looks like 80s dramas If people watch HK dramas, most of the time they're TVB dramas (because at the time they were the only good ones lol).

You know, the ones where the actors act, then later they get voice actors with higher voices and stuff to record over everybody in the same language.

5201314 6,470 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 TVB dramas have gotten progressively worse. Heart of Greed and Triumph in the Skies era was when I truly enjoyed them. Now it's just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what dubbing is..but I mean they only do that with other countries' dramas. If they do their own dramas, it's normal...no dubbing necessary. TVB dramas have gotten progressively worse. Heart of Greed and Triumph in the Skies era was when I truly enjoyed them. Now it's just bad. That's so true....I used to love them when I was little. And it's not only because of the stories either...all the good actors and actresses are leaving and going to China And the new actors just aren't up to par...they basically use the candidates from Mr/Ms Hong Kong to become actors now...and some of them just aren't cut out for it/don't have enough experience. That or they just reuse the same actor over and over again (and that's not an exaggeration...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do their own dramas, it's normal...no dubbing necessary. Why is what you're saying so confusing to me? Are Hong Kong dramas the ones with the same-language dubbing? If so, I've tried to watch them in the past, but it's hard because the mouths and the words and everything don't add up. If they aren't the ones that traditionally dub, which place is it that does that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren't the ones that traditionally dub, which place is it that does that? I'm not sure...but I know they don't dub their dramas in the same language they're already speaking in...the only times dubbing is necessary is if one of the actors is from China and they can't speak Cantonese and they have to dub over them, or if one of the actors is sick. But typically, there isn't any dubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdo7 96 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I grew up watching dramas from TVB, I watched a lot of their dramas from 80's and early 90's (when their quality is at it's best), but it sad to see it's going downhill after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitshine 210 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Growing up I watched a lot of TVB dramas but the recent ones no longer have the same quality...most of my favorite actors and actresses left also so I don't really watch them anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch Tiger Mom Blues because it didn't look that good but I do like Sharon so maybe I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
