The Season of Fate

TSOF had a great cast, lovable characters, and an okay plot. The plot was not as bad as everybody else made it to be; although I have to admit that it was pretty slow and draggy. TSOF is also Esther Kwan's second comeback drama after "Best Selling Secrets".

Esther Kwan: I love her in here and her character was so pitiable. After watching her in here, I remembered how much I love watching her act; Esther is a fantastic actress. 5*****

Roger Kwok: His character was lovable even though he was a con artist and selfish at times. I love Roger and he never disappoints in any dramas he's in. 5*****

Derek Kwok: I love him in here! Derek is such a fantastic actor since he was so believable as a feminine eunuch. I felt so bad for him since he never does get the love of his life even though it was understandable why he didn't. 5*****

Michelle Yim: She was so great as a "teenager"! I can't believe a 54-year-old actress can portray a "teenager" so well; this is evidence that Michelle is a fantastic actress! She was cute as a "teenager" in here and I wished she was like this the whole time since she became "mean" when she acted her "age". 5*****

Ng Wai Kwok: I have only seen him portrayed as a good person so it was a nice change in here. He was convincing as a man with two faces. 5*****

Oscar Leung: I think this is Oscar's largest role to date and he did a good job; although I don't think he's ready for the leading role yet. 3***

Vivien Yeo: She was okay in here; I am pretty indifferent towards her character. 3***

Elena Kong: Another ATV-turned-TVB actress and Elena was okay in here; her role wasn't large enough for me to see her acting skills. 3***

Regen Cheung: She was cute but she still needs improvements. 3***

Mimi Lo: I like the change of character for Mimi in here. I wished she had a larger role though. 4****

Esther+Roger: They were adorable in here. 4****

Esther+Derek: A part of me wanted them to end up together but I think I liked Esther with Roger a little bit better. 4****

Esther+Roger+Derek: A great love triangle and I think this can be on par with Tavia Yeung, Steven Ma, and Raymond Wong's love triangle in "Sweetness in the Salt". I also had a hard time choosing which person Esther should end up. 5*****

Esther+Savio Tsang: There were barely any scenes between them. 1*

Michelle+Savio Tsang: There were also barely any scenes between them but from the flashbacks and stories, they seem nice together. 2**

Ng Wai Kwok+Elena: They don't really act like husband and wife most of the time. It might be because of Elena's limited screen time. 2**

Ng Wai Kwok+Mimi: I don't see why Mimi's character was so madly in love with Ng Wai Kwok's character. 1*

Oscar+Vivien: They were okay. I felt like Vivien was Oscar's older sister even though Oscar is older than her in real life. 3***

Michelle+Ng Wai Kwok: They were nice as "brother and sister" but that was really it. 2**

Michelle+Roger: They actually looked okay together. 2**

Themesong by Michael Tse: I didn't know Michael was a singer and dancer before he became a actor (this makes a lot of sense on why he likes to dance so much in his dramas...) so I was surprised when I found out this was sung by him. I love this song a lot and it's one of my favorite themesongs this year so far. 5*****
