From the 1980s to the early 21st century, the era of Taiwanese romance drama represented by Qiong Yao and the era of Taiwanese idol drama represented by Chai Zhiping have almost dominated the mainland screen for nearly 20 years.
Taiwanese dramas in the era of romance dramas are mostly dominated by bitter dramas, with male and female protagonists in love crazy, while Taiwanese dramas in the era of idol dramas are mainly based on the stories of the domineering president and Cinderella. The male and female protagonists are basically unfair to know each other without fighting. Although the times are different, the kernel remains basically unchanged. Over time, Taiwanese dramas will inevitably leave the tag of Marie Su Opera in the hearts of the audience.
It can be said that Taiwanese dramas are memories of our generation. Who wouldn’t hum a few idol drama theme songs that I have watched in those years?
I remember that Taiwanese dramas have always been idol dramas, but I accidentally watched their new drama "history3" these days, and then I paid attention to one of the male protagonists Xu Junhao, and then started watching another suspense thriller TV series " Please close your eyes " that he acted in for 2016. I found that the plot is much better than I thought! The rhythm and atmosphere are well controlled, attracting attention and making people shine.
I feel that there are many ideals and serious actors in Taiwan, and it can be seen that Xu Junhao really likes acting. I really like his attitude towards acting and even the whole world. I feel warm and serious. I especially hope that he can really take on more important roles...
Then I think I have heard of some relatively high-quality TV series in Taiwan recently. I feel that they have made a lot of progress in this area in recent years.
Judging from the high-rated and reputation dramas such as "Tumei", "Your Child is Not Your Child", " The Distance of Ugly ", Taiwanese dramas have quietly risen without realizing it, and even have a trend of catching up in content.
"Tuemei" hits people's hearts and films the hardships of people in this world. In the first episode of the online version, it received a high score of 9.2. Once "Your Child Not Your Child" was launched, it also had a reputation that exploded and was directly called the "Taiwan version of Black Mirror". This year, "The Distance between Us and Evil" has even released a big move, directly challenging the dark side of human nature, and allowing the audience to analyze it on their own.
With the filling of the entire mainland film and television drama market in recent years, Taiwanese dramas with a large number of self-made dramas on video websites have been squeezed out. Taiwanese dramas have no room for to breathe in. Taiwanese dramas are declining, and the rise of national dramas is certainly inevitable.
is that the market in Taiwan is now severely shrinking, and the resources are only a little bit. Most of them are in the hands of male actors born in the 1980s. There are many new actors behind them, and the competition is fierce, with more monks and less porridge.
But you can clearly feel that the overall quality of Taiwanese dramas has become higher and higher after the "reform" in recent years, with many breakthroughs, rich themes, and profound topics discussed, which is really impressive!
