Talk of Sg dramas got me thinking about those classic ones that I love and among them, the one I was most obsessed with was definitely 'Legend of the Eight Immortals' based on ... errr, the Eight Immortals in Chinese mythology. In this drama, the world is about to face a terrible disaster at the hands of the demon Tong Tian and the eight immortals is suppose to gather and defeat the demon together. There's a lot of action and interesting stories by the different immortals but of course it was the angsty love story between the most prominent immortal Lv Dong Bin and Mudan that captivated my tween self back in 1998.
I started re-watching it and other than the obviously fake CGI (it has been many many years), the overall production surprisingly does not feel dated and I'm reminded again how freaking gorgeous Phyllis Quek was as Mudan!
