Five Easy Pieces may be a long-lasting regret to TVB, to actors and actresses of this drama, and to producer Kam Kwok Leung. This drama, meant to be a 60-episode series, was first broadcast on August 4, 1980, about a Shanghainese family living in Hong Kong and its ups and downs from the post war period to supposedly the 80s. Unfortunately, at the time when Five Easy Pieces was shown, its ratings were not satisfactory and TVB made a reluctant decision to cut this the length by half.
This is a typical case of a drama too far ahead of its time. Apart an excellent script, the drama also stars the most popular artists in the 80s, namely Adam Cheng, Louise Lee, Dodo Cheng, Sum Sum, Lee Lam Lam, Deanie Ip, Danny Chan, and George Lam. Producer Kam Kwok Leung was, and still is, renowned for his wits in creating stories of diversified topics and making exquisite portrays of characters in dramas. His assistant director, Wong Kar Wai, is now one of the world's most famous and creative directors. With a strong cast and a superb production team, Five Easy Pieces should have turned out a great success. However, perhaps due to Kam Kwok Leung's unique style, this masterpiece did not attain the level of popularity it ought to have reached back then. Now, TVB finally releases the DVD version of its first 30 episodes, offering a good opportunity for all its fans to cherish the memory of this long lost treasure.
