Born Rich


I had such high expectations when I first heard BR was being filmed since it has one of the best ensemble cast and the plot sounded interesting. However, bad ratings and reviews plagued BR and I can understand why. The premise of BR is not bad but the plot was too unrealistic and draggy. If BR was a lot shorter (around 20 episodes instead of 41 episodes), I think it would have done better. The ending was also ridiculous and it's such a waste for such a great cast.

Ray Lui: This is his comeback TVB drama and I thought he did a great job. His character was not likable at all and his change of personality was due to his arrogance and high self-esteem. Ray still looks really young; he doesn't seem to ever age! 5*****

Gallen Lo: Gallen's 2nd comeback TVB drama; I haven't seen him in a drama since "Seven Sisters" (I have only seen parts of "Golden Faith" and "The W Files")! His character was really despicable and greedy but Gallen did a fantastic job. Gallen has aged a lot since the last time I saw him onscreen. 5*****

Nancy Sit: I couldn't take her seriously in here since she threw a lot of tantrums in the beginning. I didn't like her character until she supported Jamie Chik's character. This is not one of Nancy's best roles. 4****

Jamie Chik: She's still pretty but you can tell she has also aged. Her character is too nice that it's sometimes unrealistic. Her character is also too in denial when it comes to Ray's character. However, her acting is still good after taking a long break from acting. 5*****

Kenix Kwok: She looks too skinny that it's getting scary; I can't believe she was pregnant in real life near the end of BR! BR might also be Kenix's last drama since she wants to focus on being a mom. Her character was too obsessed with Ray's character and she was horrible when she wrecked Ray and Jamie's marriage. Kenix was convincing as a third party though. 5*****

Anita Yuen: Watching BR proved to me that Anita is a fantastic actress! I had doubts after watching "Love Exchange" but Anita proved otherwise in here. Her character for the most part was likable even though she was too stubborn and blinded in love when it came to Gallen's character. 5*****

Joe Ma: I think this might be my favorite role of Joe's. He was really likable and I like his undying and never willing to give up love for Anita's character. 5*****

Kenneth Ma: He's such an adorable character in here. His character wasn't all that important until the very end though. 4****

Sharon Chan: Her character's purpose was only to be used by Vincent and Gallen's characters so she wasn't really all that important. Her hairstyle was horrible (the bangs have to go). 4****

Vincent Wong: He looked a little bit better in here than in "War of In-Laws II". His character was greedy but he sort of redeemed himself at the end. 4****

Ray+Jamie: They were believable as a married couple and they had chemistry, which was a given since they were a couple in "The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain 1985". I hated Ray's character for betraying Jamie's character though. 5*****

Ray+Kenix: They would have been a better couple if Kenix wasn't the third party. 4****

Gallen+Anita: A lot of people liked them together in the beginning, but I thought they kind of looked weird together (it's probably because they are "half-siblings" in here). 3***

Anita+Joe: They are cute together even though it was mostly one-sided. 4****

Gallen+Sharon: They had no chemistry whatsoever. 1*

Kenneth+Sharon: They were cute. I just wished their relationship was more developed. 4****

Sharon+Vincent: They also had no chemistry whatsoever. 2**

Themesong by Gallen Lo: I love Gallen's voice so this song was great as always. 5*****

Take My Word For It

TMWFI is not the best police/detective drama since it's not memorable but the acting from the cast made up for it.

Bobby Au Yeung: 5*****

Kenix Kwok: 5*****

Julian Cheung: He was so nice that it can be frustrating. 5*****

Annie Man: She's adorable in here! 5*****

Leila Tong: She acted as Annie's sister and was really cute but sadly, her role was really small. 4****

Ten Brothers

TB is a cute and heartwarming fantasy drama about family. This is also the first drama to have Frankie Lam and Kenix Kwok as a couple after they got married in real-life.

Shine on You

This is Michael Tao and Kenix Kwok fourth drama as a couple (Love Bond is their fifth and possibly last). I like the first half better than the second half since it dragged and got boring/repetitive.

Revolving Doors of Vengeance

A better than I thought drama about hotels and revenge.

Joe Ma: I liked him better in the first half. 4****

Kenix Kwok: She should have won the Best Actress Award for this role since it was a completely different role for her. 5*****

Ron Ng: He looks hot in here but I didn't really like his character. 3***

Ella Koon: A lot of people like her after this role but I didn't think she was all that great, but for her first time acting, she did a good job. 3***

Elaine Yiu: This has got to be the most hated character in TVB history since everybody seems to hate her after this role. I kind of feel bad for Elaine but she was pretty bad in her. Thankfully, she has been improving. 1*

A Pillow Case of Mystery

This is Annie Man’s last drama (for now) since she hasn’t done anything new after this, which is a shame. There is a new twist to crime-solving dramas and it was okay since TVB brought a lighthearted touch to solving crimes. The cases were sometimes easily solved but the process of finding out who the murderer(s) were are interesting.

Rating: 3*** There is going to be a sequel but with some changes to the cast so would it be a continuation from the first one or just a similar plot?
