The Driving Power

TDP was pretty pointless but it's an okay watch when you have nothing else to do.

Triumph In the Skies

Everybody loves this drama but I didn't like it since I found it boring and draggy since it focused too much on the messy love relationships.

Flora Chan: 4****

Myolie Wu: I found her more annoying than lovable since she can't take "no" for an answer. 3***

Rating: 2** TITS is an overrated drama. There are plans for a sequel since the first one was such a success but most of the artists are no longer with TVB (Francis Ng, Flora Chan, and Michelle Yip). Thus, TVB wanted to replace them but they also have filming issues with the airlines/airports. As for me, I don't care if there is going to be a sequel or not since TITS I was already bad enough for me.

Hero

A.K.A World's Finest. I watched this because of Michelle Yip and because of good reviews. I was only interested in Michelle Yip and Wallace Huo's storyline since the other characters were okay or boring.

Roger Kwok: He's funny in here but I was bored with his and Tammy Chen's plot since they were just a normal, bickering couple. 5*****

Wallace Huo: He's so hot in here and I love how his character was so devoted to Michelle Yip. 5*****

Michelle Yip: Another role where she dresses up as a man but I guess it's because she's good at it? It was irritating to watch her when she liked Li Ya Peng though since I felt so bad for Wallace. 5*****

Li Ya Peng: I only liked him when he was with Eva Huang. 4****

Tammy Chen: She was okay; I was annoyed with her character most of the time though. 3***

Gao Yuan Yuan: I find her really pretty but her role wasn't too important until near the end. 4****

Lost in the Chamber of Love

I was excited to watch this because it's an adaptation of a classic Chinese legend but I was so disappointed with this because it has nothing to do with the legend other than the beginning.

Themesong by Ron Ng and Myolie Wu: I don't really like Ron's voice in here. 3***

Rating: 1* A superficial drama that gives out the message that love is constantly changing.

Lofty Waters Verdant Bow

This drama pretty much doesn't have a plot but the chemistry between Raymond Lam and Michelle Yip is excellent. It was pretty much boring besides the scenes between Raymond and Michelle. The ending pretty much saved this drama since it was touching and nicely developed.

Raymond Lam: This is pretty much my least favorite character portrayed by Raymond since he was so clueless on who he loves until the very end. 4****

Michelle Yip: A breakthrough role for Michelle since she was the star of LWVB. 5*****

Rain Li: She was okay in the beginning but as the drama progresses, she got worse and worse. 1*

Mimi Lo: She was so funny with Power Chan in here. 5*****

Raymond+Michelle: 5*****

Raymond+Rain: 1*

Mimi+Power: They became a real-life couple after this. 5*****

Rating: 3*** Watch this only if you like Raymond and Michelle as a couple.

The Herbalist's Manual

This is Michelle Yip's last drama for TVB (for now) and I watched this mainly for that reason. The drama was okay; nothing surprising or addicting elements so it was kind of boring to watch.

Frankie Lam: I felt sad for his character and it was understandable on why he couldn't choose between Michelle and Selena Li until the last moment. 4****

Michelle Yip: Her character was pitiful. 4****

Selena Li: Her character was extremely pitiful and sad and I thought she did a good job. 4****

Kenneth Ma: A repetitive role. 3***

Eternal Happiness

This is the first drama that I watched of Michelle Yip and Raymond Lam as leading stars and I like it a lot. It's such a cute and funny drama.

Michelle Yip: I love her in here and because of this role, I became her fan. 5*****

Raymond Lam: He was so convincing as a dumb boy, a total change from his role in A Step into the Past. If TVB is allowed to adapt Jin Yong's works in the future, Raymond will be the new, perfect Guo Jing. 5*****

Joe Ma: He was okay; I didn't really like his character though. 4****

Tavia Yeung: She's so pretty in here, a lot prettier than Michelle! I love her character and I became sort of a fan of Tavia after this. 5*****

Michelle+Raymond: My second favorite couple in TVB. They have a lot of chemistry and are just so cute together. 5*****

Michelle+Joe: Joe is too old for Michelle. They are better as friends than lovers. 2**

Raymond+Myolie Wu: They looked okay together; Myolie's role was sad. 3***

Themsong by Kelly Chen: This is probably my favorite themesong in all of TVB. 5*****

Rating: 5***** A must-watch!

Central Affairs II

This sequel has nothing to do with the first one other than having a similar plot, actresses, and actors. The first one was a lot better since this one had boring moments.

Michelle Yip: She did a lot better in the first one since I felt she was acting the whole time. Her crying wasn't as good in this one either. Her character was also more likable in the first one. 3***

Kenneth Chan: I don't like him as an actor since he always looks "perverted" to me. 2**

Pinky Cheung: A total change from the first one! I thought she did extremely well and her character was likable and pitiful. She was the one who saved this drama from being a disaster. 5*****

Michelle+Kenneth: A bad couple... 1*

Kenneth+Pinky: The better couple since they actually look okay together. 3***

Themesong: It sounds a lot like the first one. 3***

Rating: 2**

Central Affairs

I watched this because of Michelle Yip and because the plot sounded interesting. I don't usually watch ATV dramas since most of them are only okay and the cast aren't attractive enough. This is one of ATV's better dramas but it's was kind of draggy in the middle and near the end.

Michelle Yip: She did a good job since she showed many layers to her character. 5*****

Raymond Wong: He's cute but I feel his acting is sometimes stiff. He was convincing as a bad guy though. 4****

Gilbert Lam: He was okay but his character was not likable. 4****

Pinky Cheung: She reminds me so much of Gigi Lai but not as pretty. Her character was horrible but pitiful and understandable. 4****

Michelle+Raymond: I wanted them to end up together but their characters are too "alike" to be together. 4****

Michelle+Gilbert: They were okay but they don't really fit in terms of looks. 3***

Michelle+Bobby Dou: They were really adorable together but sadly, he died and they are related. This relationship reminded me of Raymond Lam and Shirley Yeung's in Blade Heart. 4****

Themesong: It's nice to listen to but it's too soft and quiet for my taste. 3***

Actresses Part I

Favorites:

1. Jessica Hsuan - this is sad but I don't even remember when I started to like Jessica since I watched so many of her dramas but I guess I starting to like her in the year 1999 with dramas like Detective Investigative Files IV, Game of Deceit, and Witness to Persecution.
   
2. Gigi Lai - I love Gigi in The Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber 2000.
   
3. Charmaine Sheh - Although I like Charmaine because of The Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain 1999, I won't watch this drama again.
   
4. Leila Tong - I initially didn't like Leila because of her role in Square Pegs; however, she became one of my favorites after I watched The Legend of Love.
   
5. Michelle Yip - I love Michelle in Eternal Happiness and Lofty Water Verdant Bow but that's pretty much it. Although I hate to admit this, her later dramas are not as great except for Hero/World's Finest. I feel like she doesn't have the "spark" that she had in EH and LWVB. Maybe I just need to watch her newer works since I last seen Michelle in Central Affairs II and I wasn't too impressed.
   
6. Mimi Lo - I know Mimi is not really famous but she won me ever since I saw her in The Battle Against Evil. Although she's not as promoted as the other actresses, I always enjoy watching her on screen. Plus, she's really nice in real life.
   
7. Annie Man - I'm sad that Annie is not in dramas anymore since she's a really good actress, especially in Coincidentally.
