The Beauty of the Game

I had pretty high expectations for TBOTG since it revolves around the Hong Kong entertainment industry, its secrets, and its drama. There are mixed reviews around TBOTG and for the most part, I thought it was enjoyable to watch. Although the plot, the casting, and the production could have been better, it was still a decent TVB drama.

Christine Ng: She looks great in here; she doesn't seem to ever age! Even though her character was evil, I understood her actions and she was a delight to watch. She made this character extremely believable and she was what made this drama so addicting to watch. 5*****

Kate Tsui: If a better actress was to replace Kate, I think TBOTG would have been a lot better. Kate was annoying (I hated her huge hair clips!) and her acting was really stiff in here. Kate was passable when she became evil though so she was decent in the last half. 3***

Sharon Chan: Not a breakthrough role for Sharon yet but she was good for the most part. I thought she could have portrayed a better drug addict but she was good overall. I thought her character was more selfish than evil in here though. 4****

Kingdom Yuen: She looks pretty and mature in here. Her acting never disappoints so she was a joy to watch in here. 5*****

Chris Lai: His acting was pretty decent in here, but it's probably because his character is adorable so it's pretty easy to portray. This is probably Chris's best role to date for me. 3***

Stephen Huynh: He was good in here but he didn't have to show many emotions so I'm still not too sure about his acting. 3***

Wong Cho Lam: His character served as a comic relief, but it took me awhile to get used to him though since I thought his character was annoying and useless in the beginning. He's really good at comedies though. 4****

Mimi Lo: She's adorable in here but her character wasn't too developed. 4****

Christine+Henry Yue: I don't really know why Christine's character loves him so much since I thought she was only with him because of money. 2**

Christine+Evergreen Mak: 2**

Kate+Chris: They don't have any chemistry together and they were better suited as friends. 2**

Kate+Wong Cho Lam: A random and funny couple. 1*

Sharon+Chris: My favorite couple in here and I'm glad they got their happy ending. 4****

Sharon+Stephen: They don't look bad together but their relationship was so messed up. 3***

Wong Cho Lam+Mimi: They are such a random couple since it seems like they hooked up only because there were nobody else for them. 1*
