My Better Half

I didn't have any expectations for MBH but I thought it couldn't be too bad because the cast was pretty good and this is Maggie Cheung's comeback drama. MBH started out okay and it made me laugh at some scenes but as a drama overall, it failed to be good or memorable. I didn't really care for the plot or the characters and I only finished this because I already have the whole drama so I thought might as well try to finish it, it was something for me to do while I train in "Final Fantasy III" on the Nintendo DS, and I really wanted to see Maggie onscreen since I haven't seen her since "War and Beauty" (I have only seen parts of The Conqueror's Story"). MBH was too repetitive and redundant since the problems/misunderstandings were annoying to watch after awhile.

Maggie Cheung: She was fun to watch in here as the mean wife in the beginning but I didn't care for her too much after she had a miscarriage. I felt this role was a waste for Maggie since she could do a lot better; her talents were wasted in here. 4****

Michael Miu: A very sweet but extremely unrealistic husband. Michael did a good job with what he was given. 4****

Michael Tse: A sort of interesting character and he really fits the character of a perverted playboy. 4****

Teresa Lee: She was good in here; one of her better roles so far. 4****

Mandy Cho: I find her to be so pretty in here but her character wasn't that great. 4****

Derek Kwok: His character was pretty funny as a supporting role; he achieved what his character was supposed to be. 4****

Mimi Lo: Not a very important character but she's always a joy to watch. 4****

Jamie Chik: I love how she had a guest star role in here; so random but it was nice seeing her onscreen with her husband, Michael Miu. 3***

Maggie+Michael Miu: They were not a bad couple and actually look really cute together. 4****

Maggie+Zac Koo: I wouldn't really call them a couple but Zac really does look like the younger version of Michael Miu. 1*

Michael Tse+Teresa: They were okay in here. 3***

Michael Tse+Mandy: Another drama in which Mandy loses Michael to another woman...is this going to be a trend from now on? 3***

Derek+Mimi: 4****
