Growing Through Life


A pretty good cast but a boring and predictable plot. GTL is definitely "The Drive of Life" 2.0 but a little bit better and not as draggy.

Raymond Lam: I love Raymond but even my love for him couldn't make me watch this without fast forwarding. A sweet character but this character has been done many times before. 4****

Bosco Wong: The villain in here but I was not impressed. This shouldn't even be considered a villain role for Bosco. 3***

Damian Lau: 5*****

Zhao Ziqi: She was not bad in here: cute and a pretty good actress. 4****

Cecilia Yip: A little bit of exaggeration in here but she was great when she was "crazy". 4****

Toby Leung: A pretty pointless character; I didn't care for her role or acting. Toby needs to act in more versatile roles. 2**

Vionn Song: The worst actress in here; I thought Toby did better and that's not saying a lot. She's pretty but she's so stiff in all of her scenes. 1*

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*****

A Great Way to Care

I was going to skip this drama since the plot sounded like any other TVB drama and I'm not a fan of Alex Fong and Kate Tsui. However due to pretty good reviews and a keen interest to watch Raymond Wong and Vivien Yeo, I decided to give this a try. AGWTC reminded me a lot of the American "House, MD" but only in the first few episodes. The cases were pretty interesting and it was nice to learn about psychiatry; a different perspective on mental illnesses.

Alex Fong: He was pretty watchable in here but he still lacks some emotions. His character reminded me of Gregory House but not as cool. 4****

Kate Tsui: Her character was okay; she didn't annoy me so that was a good thing. She still lacks a lot of emotions and was pretty stiff in some scenes though. 3***

Raymond Wong: His character was so cute and lovable in here. I like how he was genuinely nice to everybody. 5*****

Vivien Yeo: I really like her in here but she was more lovable when she was “fat” though. I could barely recognized her in her fat suit. 4****

Ram Tseung: A funny and loving husband. 5*****

Astrid Chan: 5*****

Yoyo Chen: I always like her as an actress so I'm glad she got a role in here. Her character sort of reminded me of Allison Cameron. 4****

Timmy Hung: I haven't seen him in a drama since “Real Kung Fu” so it was “surprising” to see him in here. His character sort of reminded me of Robert Chase. 3***

Ruco Chan: Another ATV actor turned TVB actor. He's a pretty good actor and he looks pretty cute. He looks a lot cuter in here than in “The Threshold of a Persona”. 3***

Natalie Tong: She was convincing as a patient. Too bad she was only a guest star in here. 4****

Alex+Ram+Raymond: I like the friendship they shared. 5*****

Alex+Kate: I'm sick of TVB pairing old actors with young actresses, but at least Alex and Kate barely had screen time as a couple. Their relationship was out of nowhere and too sudden. 2**

Raymond+Vivien: The cutest couple in here! I wouldn't mind seeing them together in another drama. 4****

Raymond+Yvonne Ho: 2**

Ram+Astrid: A pretty funny couple. 3***

Yoyo+Timmy+Ruco: It's obvious that Timmy's character had a thing for Yoyo's character and I think Benny's character also likes Yoyo's character. The three of them made a nice intern group under Alex's training. 4****

Themesong by Juno Mak: It was okay but I need to hear the full version to decide it if I like it or not. 2**

Pages of Treasures

I primarily watched this because this is Wayne Lai's first leading role and because none of the other cast members annoy me. POT was a sweet, short family drama. It wasn't the best or worst drama, but it's probably better if you don't have any expectations of it or watch this only when you’re free. POT is filled with family problems but it does end on a happy note.

Wayne Lai: He didn't disappoint in his first leading role, enough said. 5*****

Sonija Kwok: Her character is really lovable but it can get frustrating on how nice she can be to people, especially Sharon Chan and Fred Cheng. Sonija has nicely transformed into a good actress but her skin and outfits look really bad in here. I like her hairstyle in here though. 5*****

Eric Suen: He's cute and I wouldn't mind seeing him in more TVB dramas in the future. His character was a sweet boyfriend to Shirley Yeung. 4****

Shirley Yeung: She seemed bored/stiff in some scenes...maybe it's because she doesn't have enough chemistry with Eric? I pitied her character but it sometimes got annoying because I felt she was a little selfish when it comes to her relationship with Eric. 3***

Vivien Yeo: She's becoming a better actress but she's still doesn't have enough variety of expressions. She looks really pretty in here; she looks a lot better with longer hair. I sort of felt bad for her character though; she always ends up loving the wrong person at the wrong time. 3***

Sharon Chan: She's so posh in here and her character was both annoying and funny on how she used people to her advantages, especially Sonija. 4****

Lily Ho: She was not bad for her first drama but she has too much makeup on. 3***

Jason Chan: He's cute and he was not bad for his first drama either. 3***

Macy Chan: She looks pretty in here and she fits the role of a model. 3***

Vivi Lee: I barely recognized her in here since she looks a lot prettier in here than in "The Four". Her character was fun to watch even though she was a meanie. 3***

Wayne+Sonija: I initially thought I wouldn't like them as a couple but their bickerings grew on me and they became a pretty cute couple. Their relationship was kind of rushed though since one minute, they're friends and the next, they became a couple. 3***

Eric+Shirley: Although I wanted Eric to end up with Shirley, I'm still a little iffy about their relationship. 4****

Eric+Vivien: They look good as a couple too but I think Vivien is a little too tall for Eric. 3***

Lily+Jason: They were okay; there should have been more scenes showing how they got together though. 3***

Sharon+Stephen Huynh: They look good together but I don't like how Stephen's character treated Sharon's at the end. 3***

Forensic Heroes II


I came in watching FHII with little to no expectations since I thought the first one was overrated since although it was good, it wasn't all that great. I still think the cases are too easy and predictable to solve; however, the character developments were pretty good. The cases were slightly better in the first one but the love triangles were dragged out too long.

Bobby Au Yeung: I was kind of disappointed that his screen time was less in here since he was one of the leads in the first one. However, his acting was still excellent. 5*****

Frankie Lam: I like how he is still one of the leads since I was scared his role will be less important when Linda Chung died and since he is no longer a contracted TVB actor. I absolutely love his character so it was sad to see him so much in pain and tears when Linda Chung died. I'm glad that if there was going to be another sequel, Frankie would have another love interest. 5*****

Kevin Cheng: He's a sweet character but I felt he was too dependent on Charmaine Sheh's character. It seemed like his role was created just so he could be the sweet and loyal boyfriend to Charmaine Sheh's character. 4****

Charmaine Sheh: I was kind of disappointed when I first heard that Charmaine will "replace" Yoyo Mung's character since I really liked Yoyo in the first one. However, I thought she was able to create a character that was completely different from Yoyo's. I like her character but I was annoyed with how she had a crush on Frankie but yet, she was dating Kevin so I felt that it was a selfish act since it was unfair to Kevin. She also looked really old at some angles since her hair was too flat. 4****

Yoyo Mung: I was kind of sad that her screen time was also less in this one but I grew to accept it since Charmaine wasn't a bad "replacement". I heard that her scenes were shorted since apparently she has a diva attitude now after dating Ekin Cheng. I'm not really her fan but it's kind of sad to hear this since I was starting to accept her as a decent actress. I guess this is also the reason why she was not asked to join the cast of "Moonlight Resonance (Heart of Greed II)". Her hair was also really ugly in here. 3***

Linda Chung: She's only a guest star in this sequel since she was busy filming "The Gem of Life". I was actually glad that her character was killed off since she was extremely annoying in the first one. It was kind of sad when she died but I was able to move on. 3***

Bobby+Yoyo: They are still cute so I was happy that they finally got their happy ending. 5*****

Frankie+Linda: They had better chemistry this time but I still don't really like them as a couple. 3***

Kevin+Charmaine: They look extremely good together but I felt they were lacking something. I guess they don't have enough chemistry with each other. 4****

Frankie+Charmaine: They were never really a couple since it was pretty much one-sided but they wouldn't make a bad couple. 3***

Raymond Cho+Florence Kwok: They were a cute and funny couple. 3***

Frankie+Sharon Chan: It was hinted that Sharon might be Frankie's new love interest in the third Forensic Heroes (if there is one) since she reminds him of Linda. They don't look too bad as a couple. 2**

Themesong by Edmond Leung: It was okay but I like the one by Frankie more in the first one. 3***

Rating: 3.5*** A lot better than I thought so people should give this a try before dismissing this because of new cast additions.

The Price of Greed

I watched this because of the plot because I didn’t really like any of the cast besides Bosco Wong. It had potential but failed so miserably because of Kate Tsui and a somewhat draggy plot.

Bosco Wong: I don’t like how he was so in love with Kate Tsui. 4****

Kate Tsui: She was so painful in here...especially when she’s crazy for Sammul Chan. 1*

Sammul Chan: I like how he’s trying on different roles but he wasn’t evil enough. 4****

Shirley Yeung: She was very convincing as a mute girl. 4****

Bosco+Kate: 1*

Kate+SAmmul: 1*

Bosco+Shirley: 3***

Rating: 1* TPOG is such a disappointment and a waste of time to watch.

War of In-Laws II

I love this sequel more than the original (which is rare). This was more realistic and Liza Wang was not too annoying. I thought the original was overrated but too bad, this one is kind of underrated.

Liza Wang: I like her in here. Her hair is horrible though. 5*****

Myolie Wu: I liked her better in the ancient one; she was super annoying in this one so I can see why Liza hated her. 4****

Bosco Wong: I also liked him better in the ancient one but he still did a good job. 4****

Joyce Tang: I'm glad she's acting for TVB again since she's a great actress. She also looks so pretty in here. 5*****

Liza+Benz Hui: They were adorable together but they don't fit in terms of looks. 3***

Myolie+Bosco: I can see why there are so many fans of this couple since I thought they were overrated in the ancient one. 4****

Bosco+Vivien Yeo: They look good in terms of looks but no chemistry. 3***

Joyce Tang+Derek Kowk: I love them as a couple! They are so cute together. I just wished they had more scenes together. 5*****

Themesong by Liza Wang, Myolie Wu, and Bosco Wong: Pretty catching but the rapping has to go. 3***

Rating: 3.5*** I would watch this again.
