Sweetness in the Salt

I watched SITS because it reminded me a lot of "Safe Guards" and because of good reviews. SITS was not as good as "Safe Guards" but it's still a good, recent TVB drama. The cast was perfect and the characters developments were excellent. The plot was overall good, but it was slow at times so it would have been better if it was a tad shorter. The ending was a little bit disappointing but it's TVB, so what do you expect?

Tavia Yeung: This is pretty much Tavia's leading role since the plot revolves around her. I like her character since she was so smart and independent. I also love Tavia's look in here since she looked gorgeous. 5*****

Steven Ma: Not my favorite role of Steven's but at least his character was a person with flaws and faults. I usually think Steven is a fantastic actor but I wasn't impressed with his acting in here. Maybe it was because he was outshone by Raymond Wong? 4****

Raymond Wong: I love him in here! This is probably my favorite role and acting by him. He was convincing as a sick person and this is possibly his breakthrough role. I think he fits the sweet characters more than the evil ones. Although he is considered as a supporting role by TVB in here, I think he actually had more screen time than Steven. I can't wait to see Raymond in more dramas. 5*****

Kwok Fung: He was so cute, sweet, and funny as the lovable father. 5******

Ram Tseung: He was so funny in here. 5*****

Halina Tam: She was so annoying when she was blindly in love with Joel Chan's character, but I like her character when she realized her mistake and when she starts to like Ram's character. 5*****

Joel Chan: I feel kind of bad for him since he has been typecasted as a bad guy lately. I guess it's because he's pretty good at it. 4****

Pierre Ngo: He was extremely annoying in here since he was worthless and lazy. Pierre did a good job though. 4****

Chan Hoi Yee: Another annoying character (only Raymond's character is the good child in his family -_-) but Chan Hoi Yee fits the role. 4****

Tavia+Steven: I initially was rooting for them since they looked adorable together in pictures. I like them as a couple, but I like Tavia with Raymond a little bit better. 4****

Tavia+Raymond: They were so cute in here! 4****

Tavia+Steven+Raymond: This is probably one of the best love triangles in the history of TVB dramas. They all had chemistry together and if I was Tavia, I wouldn't know who to pick either. 5*****

Ram+Halina: Another cute couple in here. 4****

Halina+Joel: I think Halina looks older than Joel. I also wondered whether Joel's character even liked Halina's character since it seemed like he only used her. 1*

Joel+Chan Hoi Yee: 2**

Pierre+Devily Leung+Meini Cheung: I think Pierre's character doesn't deserve to have two wives in here since he doesn't even love them. Devily's acting is still stiff while Meini's is pretty good. 2**
