To Catch the Uncatchable

I still don't get what's so special about TCTU since everybody seems to like it. Maybe it's not the same when watching it in Vietnamese? It wasn't all that funny and the murder cases were ridiculously easy to solve. The ending was pretty sad though.

Dayo Wong: 3***

Ada Choi: I found her character more annoying than lovable. 3***

Michael Tong: Such a pitiful and useless character. 3***

Marco Ngai: His character is filled with bad luck. 3***

Dayo+Ada: When did they started to like each other? It was out of nowhere that they became a couple and got married (or at least they tried to...). 2**

Ada+Michael: 3***

Themesong by Dayo Wong: 3***

Return of the Cuckoo

When looking back at this drama, it had a pretty good cast but most of the artists weren't as popular back then (ex. Charmaine Sheh and Steven Ma). A lot of people love this drama but I thought it was only okay since it was rather boring and the ending was rather abrupt and left opened.

Julian Cheung: A very lovable character and he was extremely convincing as a mute man. 5*****

Charmaine Sheh: I was rather annoyed with her character since she was too wishy-washy on who she loves. 3***

Steven Ma: I remember liking him so I think he did a good job. 4****

Michael Tong: The first drama in which Michael loses Charmaine to Steven (the second drama is "Perish in the Name of Love"). 4****

Julian+Charmaine: Surprisingly, I actually didn't like them as a couple until "Point of No Return" since I was rooting for Steven throughout this drama. 3***

Charmaine+Steven: 4****

Charmaine+Michael: 2**

Themesong by Julian Cheung: A little bit too sad for my taste but Julian's voice is amazing. 3***

Rating: 2** ROTC was kind of an overrated drama.

Perish In the Name of Love

PITNOL is based on a Chinese opera play but is only similar in the beginning since TVB changed the ending. As a whole, this drama is very good if you can accept the changes. The beginning, however, was kind of slow and boring since it focused too much on the childhoods of Steven Ma and Charmaine Sheh. The ending was unbelievable and a little bit disappointing but it can be forgiven.

Steven Ma: 5*****

Charmaine Sheh: 5*****

Sonija Kwok: She’s so evil and despicable in here. 5*****

Michael Tong: 5*****

Moses Chan: He was convincible as the Emperor and the father of Charmaine and Sonija. 5*****

Annie Man: She can be annoying but she redeems herself. 4****

Steven+Charmaine: 4****

Charmaine+Michael: 4****

Steven+Sonija: 3***

Steven+Annie: 4****

Moses+Maggie Siu: 3***

Themesong by Steven Ma and Charmaine Sheh: 5*****

The Biter Bitten

This is Michael Tong's last TVB drama (for now) and although I'm glad he's getting better treatment outside TVB, it's still sad that he's not with TVB anymore. TBB is a better drama than I have expected but it's still easily forgettable. The title makes no sense whatsoever and it has nothing to do with the plot.

Benny Chan: He was likable since he was so clever. 5*****

Linda Chung: I didn't really like her in here but she wasn't a pain to watch. 3***

Michael Tong: He was so funny in here! 5*****

Shirley Yeung: This is one of her better roles since I actually started to like her after this drama. She's so funny and cute in here. 3***

Benny+Linda: They had a lot of cute scenes together and their characters were meant to be together. 4****

Michael+Shirley: They are a cute couple too but it was kind of random that they started to like each other. Maybe they found out they had a lot of similarities after working together to try to break up Benny and Linda, lol. 4****

Benny+Shirley: I actually wanted them to end up together since they make a funny pair. 4****

Michael+Linda: I felt bad for Michael's character but they don't fit together in terms of looks or chemistry. 3***

Themesong by Shirley Yeung: I like it and I look forward to hear more of Shirley's singing. 4****
