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**

Net Deception

I had such high anticipations for ND but it failed miserably due to a draggy plot and bad acting from Tiffany Lam.

Wong Hei: I liked him until he fell in love with Tiffany Lam's character. 4****

Eddie Kwan: 4****

Jack Wu: He was fantastic in here and I still think this is his best role and acting. 4****

Myolie Wu: Her hair was horrible in here. 3***

Tiffany Lam: I'm so glad she's not acting anymore since she was so painful to watch in here. 1*

Real Kung Fu

The plot of RKF is weak but the fighting scenes were nice; hence, the title "Real Kung Fu".

Maggie Siu: 5*****

Charmaine Li: For the first drama I have seen her in, she was not that great but she has improved in recent dramas. Her character was annoying and not likable at all. 2**

Jack Wu: He's so cute and lovable in here. 4****

The Silver Chamber of Sorrows

It took me awhile on whether or not to watch this since I don't really like this time period (I only like the really ancient ones or the modern ones) and the cast is not all that grand since it only has a couple of my favorite/likable actors/actresses. The plot did sound interesting but felt a little bit clichéd and stereotypical. However, after reading a review, I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I watched this because this has got to be my favorite TVB drama for the year 2008 so far and the best ancient drama in a very long time. I fell in love with TSCOS right at the beginning and was never once bored watching all 21 episodes. I absolutely love the character developments and the many twists to the storyline. The main problem/conflict of story doesn't start right away so I felt the synopsis gave too much away; however, the "slow-paced" of the big conflict nicely created tension until it was discovered. Sadly, this drama is underrated and not really known about because of its cast.

Paul Chun: He surprised me so much in here since I never thought he could portray such an evil and despicable man since he's always acting as the nice, fatherly man. His looks and actions scared me, which proved to me that he is a wonderful actor; definitely a breakthrough role for Paul. 5*****

Nancy Sit: I was excited for this role because Nancy kept saying how evil her character is but honestly, her role was not all that "evil". Her character is not as nice as the one in "Virtues of Harmony I and II" but she's still nice here with flaws, which makes her human-like. 5*****

Christine Ng: Another breakthrough role since I never really liked Christine as an actress until now. She really surprised me since she was successfully able to portray a woman blinded by revenge. She's the most pitiful character and Christine looks really pretty and young for her age in here. 5*****

Ng Wai Kwok: I only saw parts of "The Drive of Life" and thought he was an okay actor. He was pretty good in here and I felt sorry for him. 5*****

Rebecca Chan: She's fantastic in here as usual since she was so annoying as the Second Wife. I like how she had a softer side to her in the end. 5*****

Shirley Yeung: I'm kind of disappointed that Shirley is once again portraying the same role; however, I'm not that annoyed with this character so I guess Shirley is doing a better job. I'm still surprised that Shirley still needs to use eye drops for her crying scenes though since I thought she could cry on cue by now. I do give props to her for being able to pick up frogs since she's really scared of them in real life. 4****

Jack Wu: I adore Jack so I like how he's getting larger roles but he wasn't as great in here as in other roles. 4****

Nancy Wu: I thought this would be Nancy's breakthrough role but it's nothing new since she has portrayed these types of characters before. 4****

Charmaine Li: I'm starting to like Charmaine as an actress since she has been constantly improving in every drama I watch her in. Her character is likable and I like how she didn't turned evil after being rejected by Jack. She's also getting cuter. 4****

Winnie Yeung: I was surprised that Winnie actually improved in here since she wasn't painful to watch and was likable. 4****

Paul+Nancy: It's sad that they never really loved each other since their marriage was arranged. 4****

Paul+Rebecca: 3***

Paul+Christine: 3***

Paul+Nancy: 1*

Ng Wai Kwok+Christine: I really wanted them to end up together since they have been through so much. 4****

Phoenix Rising

I was excited to watch this because it looked so interesting and mysterious but it got dragging and unbelievable at times. Nevertheless, this is a good drama in its own way.

Crystal Tin: She did a good job but I have only seen her acted before in "Coincidentally" and she was good in there too. It still baffles me on how she's the oldest sister when Louisa looks older than her and I think Louisa is older in real life too? Her character got on my nerves a lot for being so nice and naive. 5*****

Louisa So: She was really good as a villian; she gave me chills with her looks! 5*****

Leila Tong: Her character was kind of annoying too but Leila did a good job. 5*****

Sunny Chan: He's good as always. 5*****

Jack Wu: Very cute and lovable! He should get promoted more. 5*****

Crystal+Sunny: Their characters were cute together but they didn't have enough chemistry on screen. 4****

Leila+Jack: They were really cute together! I hope they pair up in another drama. 5*****

Themesong by Kelly Chen: I like it but it wasn't catching enough. 4****

Rating: 3*** I would watch again but not until a lot of years has passed by so that I don't remembered what happened.
