Last One Standing

LOS has always been on my to-watch list ever since it began filming because of its intriguing plot and new roles for both Roger Kwok and Kevin Cheng. I love LOS and it's the one of the best dramas for the year 2008. LOS is also the best mysterious and dark drama in the longest time. I'm usually bored with these types of dramas that only revolve around one case or murder like "Misleading Track", "The Price of Greed", "Phoenix Rising", and "Love Exchange", but LOS completely blew me way with its fast-paced, realistic, and intelligent plot. The only flaws are that the supporting cast is not as great as the two leading actors and it was a little bit slow in the beginning. It's sad that LOS (as well as "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows") was overshadowed by "Moonlight Resonance" during the Anniversary so it's practically underrated. I would love to watch a sequel to LOS since the ending was left open-ended but I don't want the sequel to ruin LOS so it's best to leave it the way it is. However, if the sequel is like how "Moonlight Resonance" is for "Heart of Greed" than I wouldn't mind since it will only be similar in plot with the same actors and actresses.

Roger Kwok: Roger brought a whole new level to his acting in this role since he was so convincing as an evil person pretending to be nice. He scared me so much since his intense/crazy looks were so believable! I love Roger acting as a villain so I hope he will portray more villainous roles in the future. But too bad he didn't get any recognition for this role at the Anniversary. 5*****

Kevin Cheng: Kevin was also extremely great in here since he really seem like a hot-tempered "thug" in here. I think Kevin acts his best as "good" guys with flaws or semi-evil like in "The Ultimate Crime Fighter" and "The Seventh Day" since he seem bored when his characters are the "goodie two-shoes" ones. 5*****

Yoyo Mung: I was actually a little bit disappointed with Yoyo here since she was only okay in here. She could have brought a lot more depth to her character since this role is torn between believing in Roger or believing in Kevin. 3***

Macy Chan: I still can't believe that she was "Formula" in "Forensic Heroes II" since she looks a lot prettier (even with the ugly wig and glasses) in here. Her acting was also not too bad in here; she was convincing when she went "crazy" near the end. I look forward to watching her in more dramas in the near future. 3***

Elaine Yiu: Elaine constantly improves and gets prettier in every drama I watch her in. I wonder if she is still as hated as before since I think Toby Leung has taken that spot. 3***

Lai Suen: She was perfect. 5*****

Rosanne Lui: I never really noticed her in any of the dramas but she was really good at portraying a person with Parkinson's. 5*****

Kiki Sheung: She's so annoying in here since she never trusts her children but Kiki did a good job. 5*****

Yvonne Ho: Maybe I felt bad for her since although her acting was bad, I felt it was bearable but it could also be that her screen time was lessen in the middle and ending. 2**

Ellesmere Choi: He was annoying in the beginning but he became a comic relief after that so he was fun to watch at times when LOS got too dark. 4****

Evergreen Mak: He's another comic relief in here and his character was lovable. 4****

Fiona Yuen: It's sad to hear that this is Fiona's last TVB drama (for now since she might return later on) since I always like her as an actress but it's probably better that she left since she barely gets any roles in dramas. 4****

Roger+Kevin: I love the fighting between them! 5*****

Roger+Yoyo: 3***

Kevin+Yoyo: 2**

Kevin+Macy: 2**

Kevin+Elaine: I actually kind of like them together in the beginning but too bad, they were never an official couple. 3***

Elaine+Eddie Li: They were kind of cute but Eddie is too tall. 3***

Yvonne+Ellesmere: 2**

Evergreen+Fiona: 3***

Instrumental Music: The suspenseful background music in here was great since it added a sense of darkness to LOS. 5*****

Rating: 5***** This is definitely a classic!
