Chinese Dramas/Actors

[Ren]

I will give it a fair chance. Maybe i'll like it if i watch more than one ep. When i was a kid i saw many chinese series that was dubbed in my language. The best one that i remember would be the 1980's Legend of the Conder Hero. There are so many others great series back then and am sure they still have great serie now. Nowaday there are so many remake of the same series.

Hey just wondering what the next big teen taiwanese drama will be. I liked watching meteor garden and MVP despite their crappy acting and want to see some more dramas like those.

[arashinokoto]

there have been lots and lots of taiwanese dramas out after meteor garden actually.. but as the fever has died down a bit.. the latest one that i have heard of would be a new one.. can't remember the name actually.. it's more of a rich-man show.. where everyone would be with big beautiful cars and everything.. it stars chen yi rong of lavender fame..

[seissa]

there's one new one which i think would be one of the more memorable one of late is s.h.e's "the rose"... adapted from a japanese comic "bara no tame ni" by yoshimura akemi... it tells the story of how a girl deemed as fat and stupid by others win the heart of her dream guy with her own determination and good points.

sounds really encouraging..

Hi, does anyone know or seen [JEM] Lavender. Is the subs from the tv and do you know where its taken from? Which tv channel or country? How are the subs? Also how come there is a episode 14 out? I thought there was only 13. Anyone know? Oh JEM said there is 15 so nevermind

[Michi]

uhmm... Lavender the drama? or the movie? or sumtin else?

[pohleonguk]

Sorry its Lavender the taiwan drama with ambrose hsu and that. And JEM is well JEM u know you download the episodes he makes from his torrent site.

[Michi]

okie... i know JEM
uhmm so they have Lavender.. cool.. i heard its a great drama

[Slackey]

The subs are made by the Singaporean TV station that shows it and they are good;way better than VCD subs.....Lavender orginally has 10 episodes but this TV station cut it into more episdes I guess for time restraints....I don't know how much exactly but if JEM says there's 15, that's great! I've been wanting to watch it but I'm waiting 'til I get all the episodes so I can watch it in one go.

And I thought this was going to be the usual 28/29 episodes.

I've been editing the converted mpg so I can fit 80 minutes on one CD, I'm cheap....

LAVENDER is a great series. It's going to be aired AGAIN here in the Philippines soon. For more info, i recommend the following websites:

www.geocities.com/lavender_drama

[magz]

LAVENDER has ten (10) stories (episodes or chapters, whatever), but they are selling 15-vcd set of the tv series. Below is the "teaser" that i got from one of the sites (i can't remeber which, sorry):

Lavender

Cast: Ambrose Hsu, Chen Yirong, Lin Weijun

Elementary school student Liang Yixun (Chen Yirong) suffers from a congenital heart disease. With a weak health, she is often bullied and teased in class.



Her only friend in class is a boy named Ji Jingchuan (Ambrose Hsu). They become fast and close playmates. Unfortunately, Jingchuan, has to migrate to the States with his family. Before leaving, he gives Yishun a bottle with a piece of Lavender grass as a keepsake. They both vow to meet up at their primary school on Yixun's 20th birthday.



Years passed and Yixun has blossomed into a pretty 20-year-old lady and now works in a garden. One day, she sees a handsome young star named Leo on TV who hails from the States.



Cool and suave, Leo is a superstar singer who announces holding his concert in search of his childhood sweetheart. From the news on TV, Yixun immediately recognises Leo is her childhood friend Jingchuan!



Excited but apprehensive, Yixun finally manages to summon up her courage and attends the concert in the hope of meeting Leo again. At the door, Leo's manager dismisses Yixun's claims of being the one that Leo has been looking for.

His manager discards the bottle of Lavender grass Yixun produces as proof of her identity.



But as fate would have it, Leo chances upon the bottle and realises that his childhood friend and sweetheart has surfaced!

They finally reunite and find their childhood crush maturing into adult love. However, they both have love interests who come into the picture.



Will they eventually find true love and will it be with each other? Tune in to this romantic drama to find out...


xxx: LAVENDER the Taiwanese TV series is different from LAVENDER the movie. Different actors, different story, different characters.
