Read news here: Asian Fanatics: Gallen Lo was paid $80,000 for every episode of TVB drama
This is only just a rumor now since Gallen did not confirm in the news above, but this is quite exciting if it were true! Gallen & TVB big productions generally equals QUALITY DRAMA & ENTERTAINMENT.
I wonder who the female lead would be. Personally I would love to have him cooperate with a couple of the original Fa Dans in the serie, especially Kenix and Maggie. I love the pairing of Jessica and him, but they've cooperated so many times already. Gigi Lai & Gallen would actually be fresh since I believe they have never really cooperated as a couple. For others, I actually wouldn't mind if Amy Kwok comes back to TVB to pair up again post-Secret of the Heart!
Please take poll on the left side: Who do you want to be the female Lead? You can pick more than one.
8/1 - Rea from Gallen Harbour says 40 episode series in November is actually confirmed!

Tony & Carina - Officially a Married Couple
Picture found from stars.udn.com
//Yes, this is old news, in fact, it happened this past Tuesday/Wednesday of this week, but this is huge! It's Carina & Tony! HK celebrity courtships are always so long, but it seems like in the recent years, many HK celebrity couples have been tying the knot (Ada and Max, Chilam and Anita, etc.) or in the process of (Kelly Chen & her bf), but many people have probably been waiting, in Cantonese phrase, "waiting until the neck becomes long" for Carina and Tony to finally tie the knot. And they finally did!
Carina looks gorgeous and Tony looks dashing as usual! I have watched 27 Dresses, and remember how the main character says her favorite part of any weddings is when the bride walks down the aisle because she gets to look at the groom's happy face. There are no aisle pictures for Tony & Carina, but looking at the pictures that are available, Tony looks so happy. I even read that he kissed Carina while cutting the cake. It is not surprising for a groom to do that, but Tony Leung just doesn't strike me as an affectionate person in public, so to me, that shows how happy he is that day. Admire how they are such a strong couple despite the ups and downs they have been through over the years in the entertainment business. Hope they will have a little bundle of joy to add to their family soon!
Moonlight Resonance Themevideo/song
*If you want to listen to the full DJ version (3:32), you can visit Crimsonrain.com , but it sounds kind of different to the themesong.
//So Moonlight Resonance will be airing today (in HK time)! Wonder how it will fare in ratings for the first day!
I like the themesong for Moonlight Resonance more than the themesong for Heart of Greed. MR's themesong reminds me a little of the old (and LONG!) family sagas in the 80s, which seems to be quite fitting for this serie. It starts off a little bit loud but gradually it gets softer, and the overall melody is pleasant to listen to. The themesong to Heart of Greed is way too loud and dramatic at the beginning that when it gets softer it's like a big jump. The lyrics to MR, however, seems to be talking about the viewpoint of Michelle's character, so don't know if it's a good representative of the whole serie though.
I saw the first four clips of MR, and I am surprised to see a fight scene with Tavia and Susanna. It's a very different character for Tavia, at least so far I've seen of her series, and I can't wait to see more of her, Susanna, and Michelle's characters. I'm looking forward to this serie, but man, hope I don't jinx the show. The series I look forward too often don't do well in ratings. Boo! lol
TVB Canteen
Ever wonder where people who work at TVB have lunch at? Well watch Patrick's little tour of the TVB cafeteria. It actually looks pretty spacious and nice! The food looks tasty but kind of oily lol. I want to try the TVB milk tea! I love milk tea - the HK style kind! I want a tour of TVB haha!

The Carpenters-Yesterday Once More
The Carpenters-Yesterday Once More Lyrics
Lyrics Found here
When I was young
I’d listened to the radio
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
Waiting they played I’d sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
(*) every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they’re starting to sing’s
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he’s breakin’ her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It’s yesterday once more
Lookin’ back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I’d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Repeat (*)
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It’s yesterday once more
Repeat (*)
//Tong Tong and OK jai's favorite song in Speech of Silence ^_^

New Layout
After such a LONG time, I finally changed the blog layout! I'm pretty happy with it except I would like to put music, but I am not able to figure that out how yet! If all his good, this is gonna be the layout for a LONG Time from now haha. Any suggestions or comments?
Please take the polls on the left side! One is about the new layout, and the other is a poll on whether Raymond would win Best Actor this year in November! It would definitely be a nice feeling to see Raymond win since I think a majority of us TVB fans watched his career started way back then in ASITP and some fans even earlier before that when he was hosting a programme for TVB8! I guess we will see how he fares in his role in Moonlight Resonance. For now, we can make predictions!
Other than that, hope you enjoy the new layout!
CURRENTLY BEST VIEWED IN MOZILLA FOX, not INTERNET EXPLORER!

No Frankie-Charmaine-Kevin in FH2? - Rumors
Read here: Asian Fanatics : Kevin, Charmaine and Frankie Are Done, Ron, Myolie and Bernice to Join in FH3
//My Thoughts: These are only rumors, but I actually did enjoy the triangle between Charmaine, Kevin, and Frankie. Although the chemistry between both couples wasn't through the roof, nonetheless, I think both couples were decent to watch. They absolutely can not do away with Frankie since Dr.Koo helps solves like half of most investigation cases. To replace him is unthinkable! Frankie has also done a great job portraying the role of medical examiner, Sam Koo, and Forensics Heroes just would not work without him.
As for Charmaine & Kevin, I would like to see them in FH3 because I really enjoyed watching them towards the end of FH2 and would like to see how they will fare in FH3. Though if Yoyo gets more screen time, it is probably not necessary for TVB to cast Charmaine again since both are female cops (Madams). Kevin's character as a bomb specialist is actually a profession that I wouldn't mind watching more about. They could focus on more bomb cases (which FH2 should've focused more on) if Kevin is back for FH3.
Myolie, Ron, and Bernice seems like a big addition to the cast. Ron & Bernice would be a fresh and beautiful pairing to look forward too, while Ron and Myolie have some chemistry as a couple. With Ron being mentioned in the above news that he would be a policemen, it makes the article seem more like a rumor instead to me. Since Ron is known for his role in The Academy I, II, and III, why would he be picked to play a cop in FH3 also? I know, it's possible of course, but wouldn't TVB consider the idea that it may be confusing for some viewers to see him as a cop in another serie, not to imagine how they would probably milk another sequel out of the third installment too?
The article also talks about focusing back on Bobby-Yoyo's relationship in FH3, but I think their relationship was actually written very well in FH2. I like how they were strong as a couple, and there were many scenes that show them as a loving couple. I never did like them as a couple in FH1 since they were rushed and seemed more one-sided to me. Also, the ratings weren't too bad for this serie. They weren't through the roof, but I think FH is the 4th highest rating serie of the year so far. I do agree with the article that the cases in FH2 were not very interesting and easy to solve though, so they should definitely focused on that.
What do you think? Keep the cast of FH2 or dump Frank-Charmaine-Kevin for younger blood Myolie-Ron-Bernice?

Francis Ng says TVB Actors & Series gone downhill
Read news here: Asian Fanatics: Francis Ng states TVB Actors & Series have gone downhill
In the news article, it has says that Francis Ng has mentioned that a young female actress used to complain to him during filming of Triumph in the Skies that acting in television series is not about talent, but about connections. It is rumored that this is Myolie Wu. Raymond responded saying that he does not believe Myolie would say that and comments that is is more about grasping the opportunities.
//My thoughts: I give props to Francis for stating his opinion. Like Raymond, I do not think Myolie would say that as she was being heavily promoted during Triumph in the Skies time. Heck, she gets to pair with a veteran on his first come-back serie to TVB! It is more probable that it was Michelle Yip since TVB didn't really promote her after Triumph (she went from female lead to mostly supporting for the series she did before she left TVB) and her inevitable break from TVB makes her the most likely to complain about that situation.
I believe the audience can see that actors & actresses who are favored by the top execs are highly promoted, but that is reality. There are people who make it with connections in every field. It really sucks, but there's nothing that can be done. There's no rule that says you can't play the favoritism card. So I think if the actor or actress have potential and can prove it to the audience, then it doesn't matter if they are heavily promoted. To those who can not prove their potential but are vastly promoted, then they only draw criticisms upon themselves. Thus, they can be over-promoted at one point but gain nothing at the end.
As for the quality of series and actors & actresses' talent going down, I half-agree. Compared with actors & actresses in the 90s and earlier, I do feel that actors & actresses back then had more passion and charisma with acting, and series were more intriguing and addictive. However, it is a different era and while series in the past were more dramatic and characters were more complex and deep, ever since post- SARs, HK audience has been favoring family series moreso than drama.
Is it about TVB not taking the risks? TVB does try to have different plots and be creative here and there, but these series just do not do as well with ratings as compared to the familiar type of family series that HK audience seems to favor. It would be so as to say "throwing away the rice" if TVB does not produce series that are of the HK audience's taste.
And with the acting, with very few series that write complex characters, how would actors & actresses be able to demonstrate their abilities to act different characters, especially when actors & actresses often stay in the comfort zone too?
Anyhow, at the end of the day, TVB's job is to entertain and through complaints or applauses, their series as well as actors & actresses still manages to entertain TVB fans around the world. Until one day when there are no more discussions about their new series, then their series & actors and actresses have truly gone downhill.
On a side note, I have read a rumor that there would be a sequel to Triumph in the Skies. Anyone heard about it??

To expose Siu Sung, Fa Dan's Bad Attitude
Other than talking about TVB dramas' quality, Francis also expressed that he does not understand why TVB holds the TVB Anniversary Awards every year, and feels that this would only divide the Siu Sung and Fa Dans. He and Sandra Ng Kwan Yu both pointed out that TVB's system of promotion is to put them on news headlines, but do not train their acting skills. This is not a good image.
Regarding the repeat of the serie at night, having taken part in the TV series Triumph in the Skies, Francis exposed that during filming back then, there was a Fa Dan, whose acting was very disappointing. There was a phrase that could not be done well, and NG about 30 times. He wanted to comfort her, but she cried and said "Acting in series [do they not] nowadays rely on relationships? Still need acting skills?"
He also commented on one of the four top Siu Sungs during that time [consisting of]: Bosco, Ron, Sammul, and Kenneth. He remembered in one scene, one of the Siu Sungs said the wrong phrase, and Francis wanted to advise him, but the Siu Sung questioned him "What does it have to do with you?". Francis laughingly remarked that back then when he has acted in dramas, he does not dare to go against veterans.

Charlene & Show to be a Couple in a Movie soon!
Read news here: Asianfanatics: Show Luo and Charlene Choi to make a movie!
The tentative title of this serie is Passionate Love, and it may be a tragic movie. I first saw them on Show's talkshow program, and they seem like a very cute couple. I was hoping they would get to be in a movie someday, so I'm excited about this movie! I think they will have a lot of chemistry together.
//Short Clip of Charlene talking about the movie:
//Watch an old hilarious clip of them singing a Cantonese song on a Show's talkshow program (I believe he is attempting to sing in Cantonese):

Au Revoir Shanghai to air on Pay Vision
Old Promotional Event Picture from Sohu.com
I just saw this news on lovebosco.net by member mui mui. Au Revoir Shanghai will air on August 12, 2008 as mentioned on TVB 剧集台 website.
Very happy to know since there may be a possibility of another promotional event with Bosco & Shirley! Bosco & Michael Mui are also quite good friends, so if there any promotional events, they will bring a fun atmosphere! I am a little curious whether Anne Heung would attend if there is a promotional event since she has left the entertainment circle already. I hope she would, but it would be hard to take a day off at her workplace. Imagine the boss's reaction when she says "Boss, can I take a day or two off to promote a Hong Kong TV show I was a main lead in?"
I remember Au Revoir Shanghai is an ok serie, and I thought it was very interesting towards the beginning, but I didn't like it as much as the serie progressed. Nonetheless, the Bosco & Shirley scenes were cute, but I didn't quite like their relationship in this serie because Shirley's character spent a majority of the time with Power Chan's character.
Hope to see the cast promote the serie in August!

Jadedreams Central Discussion Board
I was fond of visiting the simple discussion boards such as "New TVB Series Discussion forum" from Ciniple back then in the late 90s or so. The newest and most popular topics would always be on top, the most interesting topics will have the longest thread, and anyone can post with a click.
Thus, I wanted to start a discussion board with the same kind of format as the Ciniple forums and see if there would be fans who would like to interact like the good old times.
This board is free so it's not gonna be awesome as the ones from Ciniple back then, and maybe this board would be dead, but hey, at least its a try for good times sake!
Anyhow, I've started some topics. Check it out and feel free to post anything! Please share the forum with others if you could!

Moonlight Resonance. 家好月圆
Moonlight Resonance Trailer
Usually referred to "Heart of Greed 2", Moonlight Resonance is the official TVB title. The trailer says that TVB will air this on July 28th. I am surprised that they are airing it so early, but considering it is 40 episodes, the ending will be shown about a week after the Moon Festival holiday on September 14, 2008 (China Time).
I really like how some of the characters got up and arrange new positions in the trailer. I have not watched HOG I, but I like how the trailer shows the character arrangement from HOGI, and then everyone got up and changed their spots. Although this serie is completely different from HOG I, it's quite a creative way to show that the actors and actresses will play different characters in this serie, and that the feud & triangles are different.
The cast is incredibly stunning. Michelle Yim looks beautiful, and I have no doubts she will give a fine performance as the villain of this serie. Kate Tsui's character is also very interesting. She is suppose to be a villain or a semi-villain in this serie. Shirley will get to guest star as the young Lee Szi Kei in this serie. The will also be Lee Heung Kum's first come-back serie in a long time. And the two hottest guys at TVB that I just can not pick over (Raymond & Bosco) will be fighting over a girl!? Now, IF ONLY, if only, it could be Tavia that they fight over, man it would be one triangle I wouldn't miss for anything. Imagine the chemistry between both guys! However, unlucky for me and perhaps other TVB fans who are not fond of her, it is Linda Chung who will be stuck between two fine guys.
In Cantonese, there is a term call "duk nan, duk bei" which translates to meaning something like "you don't like seeing and feel that they are in the way" which generally means you don't like that person. When it comes to a grand cast and a potential great serie, whenever I find Linda Chung is casted in the serie, I feel that way. I think she is like the only thorn amidst a bouquet of roses. That is how I feel about her in The Gem of Life too. Thus, her being in the cast is my only disappointment. I can only hope her being casted in two grand productions this year means that she will stay out of future grand productions for the next year or so (I can only hope forever too!). Sorry Linda, TVB and the Hong Kong audience must love you, but I do not.

直覺, "Intuition" sang by Joyce Cheng
直覺 [TVB《甜言蜜語》主題曲]- 鄭欣宜
"Intuition" TVB's themesong for Sweet Talk, sang by Joyce Cheng
作曲：周永恒
填詞：陳詩慧
寂靜 若笑聲不再動聽
Silence, as if though the sound of laughter is not pleasant to hear
說話 無奈已聽不到 怎呼應
Words spoken, can not help but am not able to listen anymore, [so] how to respond?
能用心聽 仍未肯定
Can use the heart to listen, yet still can not be sure
雙眼總算可以 看清
[My] pair of eyes could still be able to see clearly
**誰會以真心的對我 如若說出口 可算麼
Who would treat me with genuine feelings; if said out loud, does this count?
又無需許下承諾 只話甜言蜜語出錯
There’s no need to leave a promise, then say the sweet talk was just an error
用我雙眼看會否清楚
Using my pair of eyes to see, would it be clear?
問那位真心的對我
Ask who will treat me with genuine feelings
直覺推測應該會是沒有錯*
[My] Intuition deduces that indeed there should be no error.
假使 沒有開口說在意
Suppose, [even though I] have not express this attention out loud
心裡其實很清楚你的真摰
The heart actually knows your true sincerity.
無用猜疑 如若表示
No need to doubt, if there is an expression
輕輕一個擁抱 已知
A light hug [and] it is known
Repeat * *
*Chinese lyrics founded here: king-zone.com
*Translation: My version of the translation into English
// The first time I heard this song, I didn't think much of it, but after listening a couple of times, I grew to like it. Joyce seems like she put a lot of emotions into the song, especially the chorus part. If Joyce is able to sing this nicely live, then she may have a career in singing after all.
I find this song quite romantic. It's like blocking everything else around you, and asking yourself if the person in front of you, really loves you.

The Belle's of TVB
*warning: may be spoilerish!
Fate – Two Guys – True Love
//Triumph in the Skies
This Belle believes in fate and that the bracelet which brought together her parents will also bring her and her true love together. Belle meets Sam, who consistently finds her bracelet whenever she drops it and gives it back to her. However, because of a misunderstanding, she married Vincent instead. There have been doubts here and there after marriage, but she finally realizes that they were meant to be...
//Forensics Heroes II
This Bell does not believe in fate, but conveniently one of her colleague tells her one day that as a Libra, a prince charming will find something she lost that is important to her. Sure enough, one day she has lost her pen cap which is very important to her. Ivan finds it, gives it to Sam, and Sam gave it to Belle. Ivan came to like Belle later and pursues her. Belle ends up dating Ivan, but realizes that she may have feelings for Sam. Towards the end, she made her choice...
The Belle's of TVB are sure lucky, don’t you think? :)

//My Thoughts:
This news piece is just a rumor. EEG has denied this breakup, and no official source has confirmed yet. It has been about 7-8 years since this group of unknown pop duo turned 'red' and became familiar faces in the HK entertainment biz. Like them or not, it is fair to say that they are quite iconic in Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Many HK entertainment fans, whether fans of the music, movie, and or even television scene immediately knows that the name 'Twins' refer to ah Sa and ah Gill. However, this name does not actually represent them in all aspects of the entertainment circle. Charlene & Gillian are mostly known as 'Twins' when it comes to making albums and advertisements. Save for a few exceptions, their movie career paths have been individually paved. Thus, if they break up, then it would mostly affect their music route.
What do I think? I do not think they need to break up directly because of this scandal. Realistically, I think they should break up only if their album do not sell well. I do not know for sure, but it seems like the news of them breaking up was pretty hot news. Maybe EEG released the news to test the waters and see if people still care about Twins? If they did, then I would say yeah, people still care. I think EEG should release a new Twins album and see how it fares. If it fares well, then why not keep them as a pop group for a couple more years? Unlike movies and television, people actually do not have to see them.
Anyhow, I'm interested to know what other people think about this. Should they split up? Please vote in below poll.

The Silver Chambers of Sorrow; 銀樓金粉 Review
Title: The Silver Chambers of Sorrow aka 銀樓金粉(2008)
Producer: 唐基明
Episodes: 21
Cast: Christine Ng, Nancy Sit, Paul Chun, Ng Wait Kwok, Shirley Yeung, Jack Wu, Charmaine Li, Matt Yeung, Rebecca Chan, Nancy Wu, Eric Li, Winnie Yeung
Theme: Pre-modern ancient serie
Setting: Guangdong province
Themesong: Sang by Ivana Wong
Awards won from this serie: N/a
Warning….some major spoilers here and there….
Basic setup of the serie…
Basically, this is a TVB serie about a traditional wealthy family in pre-modern ancient times. The family is preparing to celebrate the grandfather’s upcoming birthday. To everyone’s surprise, the second son of the family (Ng Wai Kwok) returns with his wife and son! It is very surprising to the whole family because it was known that he left and never came back home for 8 years! The third wife of the patriarch, Sau Hung (Christine Ng) begins to show signs of jealousy since it was revealed that she and the patriarch’s brother were lovers in the past. She is still in love with him and still yearns to be with him despite being his sister-in-law!
With the story focusing on the gold business, there is much struggle over traditional versus modern ways of doing business during that time. The other focus is the thoughts and beliefs of women during that time. The personality and the different sides of each of the female characters is one of the highlights of this serie.
Character and Actor Discussions….
Nancy Sit as matriarch/first wife – I was disappointed with this character because I was anticipating it being a more villanish role for Nancy. About 99% of the time, she is kind-hearted and the decisions she has made were generally mostly due to the situation. It was not a very outstanding performance because the character itself was not very hard to portray, but nonetheless, she did an ok job.
Paul Chun as patriarch- I find that his character was despicable at times because of his traditional mindset. However, there are times when he is very soft-hearted such as how he treats his dog or how he shows he seems to show that he cares for his third wife, Sau Hung (Christine Ng). In general, I don’t like this character, and by the last episode, it pretty much sealed the deal for me that this character was just horrible. Despite all the nice or good things he had done, his actions in the last episode sealed the deal that the character is a miserable, horrible man. I think Paul Chun also did an ok job in here as well, but I think he has done villain roles in older TVB series that seems much more superb.
Christine Ng as third wife- Her character is, in my opinion, the real female lead as this serie revolves around her a major part of the time. She was in love with the second brother in the serie, but he chooses not to be with her due to his obligations to his wife, so she was discontent and seeks revenge by being with Paul Chun’s character again, then she becomes alcoholic and does many things to gain Paul’s favor, but ends up hurting everyone around her and herself. In general, Christine did a decent job in here, but I did not like her character that much. Her character’s progress throughout changed too soon, too fast, and it is not very appealing. Sometimes she seems strong and competent, then lovesick and dependent, then horrendous and conniving, delusional and jealous, etc. Towards the end, it was hard to see her be the gentle and serene Sau Hung again. It is just not the same after all she has done. I pity her character in the beginning, but it all went downhill once she rejected the opportunity to be free again and went back into the Sheung’s family.
Ng Wai Kwok as brother- This character serves as sort of a moral compass in this serie and tries to reason with his brother many times over traditional versus modern thinkings with business and family life. I like his how his character has integrity and is always very respectful and considerate, and most of the scenes with his wife (acted by Winnie Yeung) were pleasant to watch. As for Ng Wai Kwok’s performance, I would have to say it is below average. His acting lacks fire for this character, in which he had for his character in The Drive of Life. I don’t know whether it is just the character’s problem or Ng Wai Kwok’s boredom with this character, but I don’t find his acting or the character above average.
Shirley Yeung as maid- Shirley plays Christine Ng’s maid in this serie and is very loyal to her. Later on it turns out that she is the daughter of Paul Chun’s character. At first, she and Jack Wu’s character do not get along because she thinks he’s her bad luck star, but then after realizing that Jack is a good guy and cares about her, she starts liking him. In all honesty, I think Shirley’s character is unnecessary, and it was also not a good performance from her. There was nothing different or challenging about this character compared to other characters she has done except that she was bullied for a while, and her acting has failed to convince me the pain she was in when she was bullied too. For example, in Lost in the Chamber of Love, there was a couple of scenes in which Myolie was hit by the head mistress/matriarch, and when she was screaming, it seems like she was really in pain! I really like Shirley and I’ve seen her done better, so I guess I will have to say this character just isn’t very outstanding.
Jack Wu as worker- Jack Wu plays the son of Paul Chung’s right-handed man. When he was young, he was sent off by Paul to gain an education (don’t remember for what, but I think it’s some sort of gold-making trade). Anyhow, he comes back and he works for Paul, but realizes that Paul isn’t as great as he thought he is, and goes under the second brother’s (Ng Wai Kwok) wing. He likes Shirley since young, and Charmaine Li’s character really likes him. Jack Wu’s character is another unnecessary character, and I would say he’s mainly there as the love interest of the younger gals. However, I did enjoy his scenes with Charmaine Li, not so much with Shirley though.
Charmaine Li as daughter- She plays the only daughter of the matriarch (Nancy Sit), and she was passionately in love with Jack’s character after appreciating his knowledge of the outside world in which she is often fascinated in. In one scene, after getting rejected by Jack, she got into an accident and ended up handicap from the waste down. Because Jack feels guilty about this, he decided to marry her. However, towards the end, she ends up letting him go and went off to France with her uncle. I was happy she ended up going to France to "see the outside world" as she has always wanted.
Rebecca Chan as second wife- Rebecca plays the second wife of Paul Chun’s character. She became the second wife, after betraying her mistress (Nancy Sit’s character) and gave birth to Paul Chun’s one and only son (acted by Matt Yeung). She is quite petty, and does most of the trouble-making towards the beginning of the serie.Towards the end, she became insane due to death of her most beloved son. We even have a scene in which Paul Chun’s character kicked her in the stomach after finding out the son’s death was due to her advice. Thus, her character is quite pitiful in the end.
Nancy & Eric Li as a couple having an affair- I think Nancy Wu did a good job portraying a modern, somewhat loose type of woman. She enjoys western entertainment, but she ended up settling down by marrying Paul Chun’s character. I quite enjoyed watching her scenes with Eric Li, those were pretty entertaining to watch.
The Relationships….
Sadly, there are not many romantic relationships to root for in this serie, which give this serie another negative point. Yes, Jack & Shirley was a couple, but their relationship could make me fall asleep. I was rooting for Charmaine Li & Jack, which could be written to be something interesting, but nope, he only loves Shirley’s character. Other than that, Nancy Wu and Eric Li has got to be the most fun to watch in here, but their relationship was marked for doom. I didn’t appreciate the romantic story between Ng Wai Kwok and Christine. They lack chemistry as a couple, and I felt their relationship sort of dragged throughout the whole serie.
Comments
This serie was a major, major disappointment for me. I was heavily anticipating this serie for the cast, but not only were the characters not very outstanding, the acting was also below average in general. I am not kidding when I say there is really a lack of drive to keep people tuned in. In fact, there were quite a handful of episodes which ended at points where it doesn’t keep you intrigued, to continue watching. How did I manage to finish? I guess the characters had something that kept me watching to see how they will end up at the end.
The most positive factor about this serie is the writing of the female characters. They’re not exactly two-dimensional so it can be interesting to watch the character develop. Nancy Sit’s character is the head of the household, but yet she can be very sentimental at times. Nancy Wu is modern, sort of loose woman but yet she’s afraid of her husband finding out that she’s having an affair. Rebecca Chan’s character is a bully, but she loves her son a lot. Then there is Christine Ng’s character which managed to show a variety of personalities as the serie progressed. As the female characters develop throughout the serie, you would see that they all have different goals and dreams, but are very much confined by traditional thinking and family.
I think throughout the serie, it has some traces of War & Beauty like there was the overhead scenic shot of the buildings they were living in, how the wives try to maintain a good position in the family, and even the bit towards the end with the fire. It is not using the exact same plot and storyline of course, but there are some traces here and there.
Surprisingly, the ratings for this serie was better than I expected, averaging 30 points. The last week even reached 34 points with the highest at 40 pts at one time.
My Rating:
*2 Cups of Herbal Tea (2 out of 5 stars)
1st cup for the variety of characters
2nd cup for some refreshing plots
Herbal Tea is not for everyone. It’s got a distinct flavor, so it takes time to get familiar with the flavor. Although not a drink to drink every day, after drinking for a while, you’ll come to appreciate the different flavors just like the different characters within this serie.
A Must Watch IF:
1. If you want to watch the types of different women during that time period, their thinking and actions.
2.. If you like watching women manipulate and scheme against each other, as well as a lot of petty arguments between the ladies.
3. If you like watching family-centered series
4. You like watching complex characters and character development.
5. Something to pass time with.
6. If you are a major fan of any of the cast and don’t mind watching their serie no matter whether it is good or bad.
Stay Away IF:
1. You prefer series that are fast-paced and intriguing.
2. You don’t like to watch a lot of long dialogues and or sentimental, crying scenes.
3. You prefer watching series with romantic relationships worth rooting for.
4. If you are looking for extreme cast chemistry.
5. Moments or scenes that make you go, what the heck?

Some Concert News...
I usually do not post about concert news, but as there is one good news piece and two upcoming HK celebrity concerts in US & Canada that I think are interesting, here goes:
I. Kelly Chen announces Her Marriage at Concert
*Link: AsianFanatics
*Credits to themissingpiece @ Asianfanatics.net
As the last singer to hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum before renovations, Kelly Chen's "Love Fighters 2008" concert drew to a close last night. In front of an audience of 20,000 near the end of the concert, Kelly announced that she will get married soon to her boyfriend of many years, Alex Lau. During the announcement, Kelly could not hide her joy and started crying. She said that after marriage, she will continue her work in the entertainment industry and will NOT quit the industry.
Direct quote from fans, here was Kelly's exact announcement translated:
"With this concert, I completed a big mission. I will continue with another big mission. I am getting married!!! (Crowd goes ecstatic for 2 minutes). I finally said it, I wanted to say it for a long time already. If I get married, and the Coliseum is finished with repairs, will you guys come back and watch me? What if I have kids and am holding two babies?"
//I am very happy to hear this marriage news! The way she said it was so cute! I am not sure of the date on which she shared the happy news, but it must be during the week of June 16 since this news was posted on June 18. It was cute how she said she wanted to share the news, and it was hard to hold it back! I wonder how her boyfriend proposed. It is very interesting how HK celebrities date for such a long time before getting hitched. For Hollywood celebrities, it seems to take like three months lol
II. Bernice Liu, Raymond Lam, & Linda Chung Concert in Canada - August 2008
*For more information, please visit: Aznconcerts.blogspot.com ; Taipan Tours
// It's too bad I'm located in the US or else I would consider going for Bernice & Raymond! Am still waiting for them to pair up as a couple in another serie since Survivor's Law I! It would also be interesting to hear them sing the themesongs. While I'm not a big fan of Linda, I do think she has potential as a singer.
III. Joey Yung Concert at Atlantic City, Trumph's Taj Mahal Casino - September 2008

// This would probably be an awesome concert since I love a majority of Joey's songs, but New Jersey is far from Texas lol. Why, oh why, don't HK celebs visit Texas??

Siu Sung & Siu Fa Dan Series over the years...
What is this?
Ever since the year 2000, many young TVB Siu Sungs and Siu Fa Dans were given the opportunity to star in many series, but how many series are they truly a part of? How many series have they starred with each other? Thus, I decided to do some research of my own.
Although Wikipedia may not be the most accurate source to go for information, it was the fastest source to get information and what the heck, this is just for fun. So I went to the Chinese Wikipedia pages of the actors and actresses and tabulated the TVB serie they were a part of. Those serie in which they were a part of as leading or supporting were counted. For other series, I used my best judgment to consider whether they are just cameos and or have enough speaking scenes in the serie to consider it as one of their serie they are truly a part of.
Why were only these 10 people chosen?
For one, from what I have seen, these 10 people have been involved in a lot of TVB series since 2000. For two, they are all my top favorite TVB actors and actresses. Thus, these are my top choices to do some fast search on.
For those wondering why Michelle Yip is not on the list, I did not include her because she is not part of TVB anymore, but mostly, because she is not part of my favorites list and these ten actors and actresses are.
*Credits go to Chinese Wikipedia pages of respective actors & actresses listing their series
*The ones in parenthesis are the series I am not sure whether to count it as per their serie
What does the graph show?
I have included the series the TVB actors and Actresses are a part of due to leading, supporting, or having enough speaking scenes to consider the serie as one of their series.
The X indicates the respective actor or actress starring in the serie. The X in parenthesis indicates these are the serie in which I am not sure whether to really count as one of their series.
The total # of series I have counted are listed at the bottom, including those in parenthesis. In parenthesis is the # of series that I am not sure whether to truly count it as one of their serie. Thus, you could subtract the number in parenthesis to get the # that I think for sure they have a pretty big role in.
If you would like to take a view of the chart, save the picture and then use a program to zoom in. I am not able to make it bigger.
Some Interesting Results/Trends
1. There are 108 TVB series included in this list, counting new TVB series that has not been shown but that I have read on various news articles that they have finished filming, in the process of filming, or will film for sure. That means, these 10 actors and actresses have starred in over 108 series whether individually or co-starring with one another.
2. Using the total # of series from each respective artist (counting the series in parenthesis), the average # of series for these ten actors and actresses was 18.2
3. For the male actors, Bosco seems to have the most # of series, while Ron has the least # of series (counting the # in parenthesis).
4. For the female actresses, Tavia seems to have the most # of series, while Bernice seems to have the least # of series (counting the # in parenthesis).
5. The serie which starred the highest # of these ten actors and actresses was Find the Light starring five artistes : Ron, Bosco, Tavia, Shirley, Leila. Series starring four out of ten artistes include Twins of Brothers, Brink of Law, Survivor's Law, Triumph in the Skies, Twins of Brothers, Moonlight Resonance, and The Four.
6. Ron & Sammul seems to have co-starred the most together out of the five guys with 5 series, while Ron & Bosco seems to have co-starred the least with one serie.
7. Tavia & Leila seems to have co-starred the most together out of the five gals with three series, while Bernice & Tavia seems to never have co-star with each other before.
8. Raymond & Tavia seems to have co-starred the most together, with 7 series (including non-couple series). Kenneth & Tavia seems to never have co-star with each other.
9. Out of 108 series, 45 series are ancient. That means a majority of the series these ten actors & actresses have filmed are modern series. However, this varies for each respective actor and actresses.
10. Theres are about 20 grand productions these ten artistes have starred in.
11. So who actually is the Ratings King and Queen of these ten? Well, I don't know for sure. I originally wanted to do research on this but as I can not find the average ratings of their series, I was not able to see. From observations of this chart, I find it interesting that the male actors overall seems to star in more "hit series" (based on ratings hype I've read from news articles) than the female actresses. Wonder if that is part of the reason TVB is promoting more of newer actresses like Linda Chung, Kate Tsui, Fala Chen, Selina Li etc.
Don't Take the Results Too Seriously
Please do not take these results seriously. For one, for some series that I have not seen, I do not know whether these actors or actresses have a lot of screen time to actually call the serie as one of their serie. Of course, the leading and supporting roles are counted, but I have not watched all 100+ series these actors & actresses starred in, and I do not have photographic memory. Some of them are just based on guesses, and others could be bias due to what amount is considered a cutoff point to include the serie as theirs. For example, I counted Shirley in Forensics Heroes II as one of her series(although in parenthesis), but I did not count Ron in Aqua Heroes or Kenneth in The Last Breakthrough although they did have speaking scenes in those series.
If you note some errors or feel that a serie should be counted, please inform me so that I could make the changes to the list. Notice any other trends, leave your comments!

Bosco & Shirley at TVB8 Program on 6/9/08
*From now on, posts on Bosco & Shirley will be posted on this blog and my Bosco Wong & Shirley Yeung blog.
*Pictures from LoveBosco.net and on.cc
Finally, Bosco & Shirley meet again filming for a TVB8 Program called 娛樂金剛圈, and they took some pics together outside of the program! The pictures and articles do not show them playing any games together so that's too bad, but heck, pictures are better than nothing! :)
Bosco sure looks skinnier! His hairstyle reminds me of his character in The Price of Greed though! Shirley looks cute as usual!
hmm....I've noticed that in many pictures, Bosco & Shirley doesn't seem that close as compared to say Bosco & Tavia or Bosco & Myolie. Bosco & Shirley seem very distant. Through so many cooperations and appearances together, I would've thought they were be somewhat friends, but in many pictures, it doesn't seem to show?
Well I hope they would pair up again in another serie, but a serie that is worth it. I would rather wait for a great script and a good couple storyline for them to portray. When they pair up again, I hope it would be an awesome serie that showcase their chemistry and put them up there as TVB top couples. Well, they have to shorten that distance between each other to do so, but I do hope they can one day!
