the first TW series that hooked me was Huang Zhe Ge Ge I (that was 4 years ago)~ then II.................and then Meteor Garden.......
and pretty much i've been hooked on TW dramas ever since.
i'm not sure if there was "a first" TW series, but there was a thread about "your favorite" TW series in the Chinese Entertainment forum.

You too? I figured that after all this time, it would lessen some, but nope I'm as obsessed with them as ever!xKiMix wrote:Mine was Meteor Garden, I too fell inlove with F4, actually I'm STILL inlove with them. I can't wait till their next drama comes out. I hope some kind souls out there will sub it!!!
I believe HZGG 1 and 2 are Mainland productions, while 3 is Taiwan? I could be wrong. All three have definitely got Taiwan and Mainland stars/people collaborating in them, anyway. A great series of series.
If it's the very first Tw drama ever, I think my first was the Taiwan remake of the ancient wuxia story Legendary Twins, with Jimmy Lin and Alec Su. Awesome and fun series!
As for Tw idol dramas, the first was Meteor Garden! Then I went F4 hunting and was rather disappointed with Marmalade Boy, Poor Prince, Love Storm, etc, till Mars came along and saved the day.
Since Legendary Twins, I've seen quite a few Tw series. Some of them are lame beyond compare. But on the other hand, the good series are exceptional.

The first twdrama I ever saw was, of course, "Meteor Garden". I moved on to jdramas and kdramas but "The Outsiders" and "Mars" brought me back to twdramas. I've been kind of disappointed with some of the other F4 dramas--I couldn't make it through the first episode of "Love Storm", but I did enjoy "Marmalade Boy" (probably because I really enjoyed the manga)--but "Mars" was fantastic.
Lately, I've been watching "Devil Beside You", "Express Boy", and "It Started with a Kiss", all of which I'm enjoying very much.

You too? There is just something about Vanness. Sure, he didn't have nearly as big a role as Jerry, Barbie, and Vic, but I thought he was adorable and have been obsessed with him ever since.rinimeatballs wrote:mentor garden, in 10th grade my friend told me about it, and i was like..oo that sound cool and then she brought me all these tapes, so i watch the first eps. about 3 years later i saw the whole thing with my friend telling me what was going on, 1 year after that i saw it with subs ^^ i fell in love with vaness wu >.< its the only tw drama ive fully watched. peach girl and maralame boy i havent fin.

I watched a couple of taiwanese shows when i was a kid, but i don't rememebr the titles for them. The taiwanese oldest show that i watched, that i actually remember the English title of would have to be Meteor Garden. I think that show got me addicted to Taiwanese dramas...after that series, I started watching taiwanese dramas all the time.
same here. i watched Princess Returning Pearl I in like 4th grade or 5th grade, inl ike 6th grade i watched the sequel, and then Romance in the Rain totally rocked my worldazndgn26 wrote:Princess of Pearl I&II (Huan Zhu Ge Ge I&II) then it was Romance In The Rain (Qing Shen Shen Yu Meng Meng) Similar castings

sorry, i don't have a clubbox link for you, but looks like the eps are still seeded on d-addicts if bittorrent is ok.~shinigami~ wrote:I'm Australian and my first TW drama was Peach Girl. Hmm...that didn't get me hooked.
With all this praising of MARS, anyone know a clubbox with it?

Mine was Meteor Garden, too (also so far the only one). But only because I'm so hooked on Hana yori Dango that I couldn't resist checking on a drama that I didn't understand a single word of. ^^;
Not only do I think the acting could be better, the quality of visuals and sounds is also quite poor. According to the low budget, I guess they made the best of what they had.

My first TW drama was Meteor Garden...second and last was Mars...i also saw a little bit of MVP Valentine and Devil Beside You, i also wanted to wath The Outsiders but never got around to seeing it because of 'Full House' and various other Kdramas and Canto dramas and some Jdrama...
Even though i've only seen two, i guess compared to kdramas and Jdramas, TW dramas don't really cut it - especially acting wise - or maybe its just the TW dramas i've seen...

My first was Meteor Garden! when i first saw those 4 guys i was disgusted... they looked kind of gay to me back then... but then i slowly fell in love with vic! i love them now! i don't watch a lot of twdramas, mostly canto or korean but devil beside you got me hooked again... getting mars right now ^_^ i saw a little of it but it was in mando and i cannot understand so im trying this drama again... i already read the manga so i know exactly what happens =D
I do not know my first series >_>. I was only young when i started it Probably like around 11 years old.
I watch all the mandarin series from channel 18 at 12pm and 7 pm because I have no source to get more. Plus, I didn't like it back then, I was forced by my parents. But about 4 years ago, I fell in love and I started to watch more than my parents. So yeah, about 9 years with Chinese drama and at least 4 or 5 years of mandarin school. I pretty much understand.. and can't really speak well, just decent. Wish I hadn't messed around when I was younger.

the first twdrama i saw was meteor garden^^ i only saw the first and last eppie of MGII cuz i couldn't stand daoming si and sanchai not being together^^;; 2nd was Devil Beside You..which I luv (mike he is so cute w/ rainie <3)..and have watched soooo many times... rite now i'm watching it started with a kiss
Being born in TW, I've grown up on TW drama.
The first drama that I can recall enjoying is YanYuMengMeng (Smoke-Rain-misty-misty, circa 1984?) and JiDuXiYangHong, tho I don't remember which came first. I still find that to be classic in it's force and novel for it's time. Of course, the genre's been done to death since then. I guess for you youngsters it would look ultra dated. Virtually all of the dramas in that period are crap tho, hence I generally refuse to remember them
YanYuMengMeng was remade with Vicky Zhao and co, but I found that underwhelming from plot and acting view.

mars...
....etc...
hurm i watched a lot of chinese series. but tw drama that really hooked me is meteor garden. i was obsessed for awhile with F4. i like vic zhou but you know as you watch meteor garden you simply like jerry character better. it's all lovey dovey. since barbie didn' end up with vic in meteor garden you're kinda hoping they will be together in another series.then mars comes along. that was good series although i don't really like barbie character in that.

I totally agree with you on that
My first Taiwan drama was... ::drum rolls:: Meteor Garden. My mother borrowed the series (and All About Eve) from the local library and took over the only tv in the house. I actually hated it in the beginning, but it grew on me (whining about how I wanted to watch regular tv didn't help much). Now TW dramas consume a lot of my tv time...

my first TW drama was meteor garden...actually it was my first drama ever, so it'll always be special to me ;)....its kinda insane how i watched it though....went over to my taiwanese friends house a million weekends in a row so she could translate the whole show for me and my other friend...then we went thorugh this whole F4 phase [love jerry] actually i watched it again i think last nov, its a good drama so if anyone hasn't seen it yet you should...and if you have seen and liked it i recommend the jdrama hana yori dango- same story but wayyyy condensed compared to MG
Actually, it's not surprising. TW was in a slump where the majority of dramas produced were of low quality "localized" dramas of negligible interest beyond TW.Nadil wrote:1st tw-drama of most of you was MG? that's funny . my first was Love Contract, and I loved it
I happened to be in TW on vacation and watched the episode when it was first shown (parents were playing mah-jong, I had nothing to do, etc). I knew about the series beforehand because I was a regular watcher of the Happy Sunday variety show which auditioned F4 and announced the MG project.
After the first episode, I immediately knew that it was going to be big. Sure enough, it set many records in terms of how many countries it was shown in, sparked F4-mania, etc. It also started a renaissance of mandarin speaking drama in TW largely targeted towards the younger audience, choosing actors mainly by popularity, which continues to this day.

My first TW drama (and it was also my first drama) was MARS, and i've watched it because i was deeply in love with the manga
I've seen some other TW drama after Mars, (Meteor Garden, Devil Beside you, It started with a Kiss, Lavender, love contract) but Mars and Devil Beside You are my favorites.
I can't watch all what I would like, because I'm french and I don't speak chinese language. So I watch those with english subtitle.
