Every weekend, I watch repeats of the classic Channel 8 drama, "东游记" also known as the "Legend of the 8 Immortals". Its one of my favourite Channel 8 dramas ever, and one of the last before I entered secondary school and stopped watching Channel 8 dramas altogether.
What I loved about the show then was its charismatic cast, that while not Hollywood perfect, had perfect chemistry and really portrayed their characters well. And of course the story between the characters, especially the whole friendship and camaraderie theme among the 8 Immortals, in particular that between the three 2nd generation immortals (who later became the most powerful of the lot): Lu Dong Bin, Han Xiang Zi & He Xian Gu. Now that I'm rewatching the series, I find that I love the show for exactly the same reasons, though I must say the animation, based on today's standards, is really tacky.
My favourite characters are Han Xiang Zi, He Xian Gu and Zhang Guo Lao. Han Xiang Zi because he is the perfect gentleman and I wanted to be like him, He Xian Gu because of her strong sense of righteousness and loyalty to friends and Zhang Guo Lao because he is so funny! How I wish I were an Immortal and I could be flying in the clouds and saving people!
Oh and it had an amazing theme song too! Absolutely loved it!
