I don't know if my expectations were too high for this drama or not since although RB was good, it wasn't the greatest drama ever made. I felt RB was too repetitive of other TVB dramas like "Safe Guards", "Sweetness in the Salt", and "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows". Most of the cast were also the same with some even portraying similar characters. However, it didn't make the same mistakes as "Safe Guards" and "Sweetness in the Salt" did. "Safe Guards" had some miscast while "Sweetness in the Salt" was a little slow and draggy.
Sheren Tang: Her character is so strong and intelligent. I hated Sheren's hairstyle in here though. 5*****
Wayne Lai: This character reminded me a lot of Wayne's character in "Safe Guards". Both are stubborn and semi-bad but are not evil. 5*****
Ron Ng: His character is cute since he was so naive and innocent. 5*****
Elliot Yue: For a character that has a lot of wives, he wasn't annoying and was actually likable. 5*****
Susan Tse: She was a good evil character and she reminded me a lot of Susanna Kwan. She's prettier than Susanna but Susanna is a little bit better at portraying evil characters. Susan was an ATV actress and the only other drama I have seen her in was "Central Affairs II". 5*****
Kiki Sheung: She's has been playing a lot of annoying characters lately but she does a great job at it. 5*****
Kara Hui: Her character reminder me of her character in "Safe Guards" but she's a lot weaker in here. 5*****
Pierre Ngo: This character is almost the exact replica of the one in "Sweetness in the Salt". He's a lot more evil in here though. 5*****
Kelvin Leung: Not bad for a newcomer and he's pretty cute. 2**
Suki Chui: Her character was kind of annoying and useless but at least she didn't have a lot of screen time in here. 3***
Nancy Wu: She has been typecasted as "loose" girls lately but she's good at them. I hope she gets larger roles in the future though. 5*****
Sheren+Wayne: Does Sheren's character like Wayne's character? It's obvious that Wayne's does but not so much Sheren's. I like the friendship they shared though. 5*****
Sheren+Elliot: They were a pretty cute couple, especially when they flash backed to their childhood years. 4****
Elliot+Susan: 3***
Elliot+Kiki: 2**
Elliot+Kara: 3***
Wayne+Nancy: They didn't make such a bad couple either. 3***
Ron+Suki: They don't really look like a couple and it seems like they only got together because there were no other young actresses left for Ron. 2**
Themesong by Ron Ng: Ron's voice sounds really gentle and nice in here; this is my favorite song of Ron's. 5*****
