In the era of TVB and ATV competing for dominance, Hong Kong has produced a large number of TV dramas, of which the dispute between martial arts dramas is the most fierce, from the dispute between "Chu Liuxiang" and "Heavenly Silkworm Change" in 1979 to the "Legend of the Eagle Hero" and "Journey to the Tiger Mountain" in 1983.
Until the later ATV stopped broadcasting, TVB glory was no longer the same, and we cherished the era of double dominance at that time, and those dazzling TV works.
Today, Wu Erjun shares 10 relatively unpopular Hong Kong martial arts dramas, all from TVB and ATV.
1. The Legend of the Strange Man (1997)
In 1997, the ATV long-form martial arts drama, Douban 9.0 points, as a rare martial arts "divine drama", was divided into two parts: "Mulan Qiuju" and "Dragon and Phoenix Enmity".
