Cupid Stupid

I didn't have much expectation for CS but I thought it would be interesting to watch Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung as a couple again in an astrology-centered drama. The astrology was something new and different since I haven't seen a drama focused on that before. The plot was a typical love story but the ending has got to be one of the worst TVB endings ever. I have never been so angry and disappointed with a TVB ending until now.

Steven Ma: He's such a sacrificing and selfless character in here; however, I hated his hesitation when it came to love. I felt so bad for his character and Steven never disappoints in these kinds of roles. 5*****

Tavia Yeung: Her character was frustrating to watch at times but she was cute. Tavia did a good job, especially being torn between Steven and Michael. 5*****

Michael Tse: His character was likable in the beginning but I didn't like him so much after he broke up with Mandy Cho and became a couple with Tavia Yeung. His character was too arrogant and immature for my taste but Michael did a good job. 5*****

Mandy Cho: She has been improving a lot and I felt bad for her character. She was the perfect girlfriend but Michael didn't treasure her. 4****

Shermon Tang: Her character was annoying for plotting against Steven and Tavia. Although I understood her actions, it was still annoying. She still needs improvements but she wasn't bad in here. 3***

Steven+Tavia: Man, TVB must not want them to ever end up together in a drama because they have never had a happy ending in any of the three dramas they have been together (Land of Wealth, Sweetness in the Salt, and now Cupid Stupid). I actually like them together since they have good chemistry together. I hope that their next drama together would have a better ending than this. 4****

Tavia+Michael: They look okay together but I don't see why Tavia's character would choose Michael's character over Steven's character. I was so disappointed when they got together and I don't think Michael deserved Tavia. 2**

Steven+Tavia+Michael: I wonder if TVB was trying to portray this love triangle as the one in "Sweetness in the Salt" with Steven, Tavia, and Raymond Wong? I did not enjoy this love triangle at all and I wanted Tavia to end up with Steven instead. 2**

Tavia+Jack: Wow, Jack never ages because he looks younger than Tavia even though he is older than her in real life. They actually look good together but too bad, Jack's character was such a jerk. 3***

Michael+Mandy: I wanted them to end up together but after finishing CS, I'm glad that they didn't because Mandy's character deserved somebody better. 3***

Mandy+Ruco Chan: They were so underdeveloped but they looked nice together. I would have liked it better if they had more scenes together or at least just showed how they got together. 3***

Steven+Shermon: I understood why Shermon liked Steven so much but they didn't have any chemistry together. 2**

Themesong by Steven Ma: I usually like songs sung by Steven but I didn't like this one too much. It did grow on me a little as I watched the opening though. 2**
