'Armed Reaction' and other iconic TVB shows of the 1990s


Are you a fan of 1990s TVB dramas like 'Armed Reaction' and 'Journey To The West'?

I remember huffing and puffing as I ran home from school. I remember plopping myself on the sofa, still clad in my sweat-soaked school uniform. And I remember brushing away my mum's call for dinner with the sweep of a hand.

All these because Armed Reaction was on.

The 1990s was a different time. There were no streaming services so we took appointment TV very seriously.

And there was always a steady flow of Hong Kong dramas hitting Malaysian shores, usually aired just before the primetime news hour at 8pm.

Walk down memory lane with me as I recall 5 of the most iconic TVB shows of the 1990s. Also, click here to learn where the top 1990s TVB stars are today.
