Power Envoy (2022)

Starts great end really dumb

What is TVB's problem with Ruco Chan? This guy keeps dying at the end of his recent dramas and never gets to have his own happy ending. Yes that's right, he dies at the end and that really annoyed me. What annoys me more is the use of the old reversing time to prevent stuff happening thing as well. We watch the entire drama and how these characters have grown together, only for the ending to rewind back to the beginning to unset it all, basically meaning everything we as viewers have witnessed was a waste of time. It is almost as bad as the "oh it was all a dream" trope. This drama started out pretty good, with the people getting used to their powers and we see great character development, but there is no real scary bad guy for them to fight with their super powers, just some triad dude trying to avenge his son. If you have super powered heroes, have super powered bad guys to even the playing field, come on! To counter the lack of super powered bad guys, they introduced side effects to using the powers, which is good and all but not all users get side effects, which is a little unfair. At least two great things did come out from this: Natalie Tong doesn't play a stupidly annoying character like she usually does, she was very likeable here, and the music is great, but hot damn I do not want to rewatch this purely for the ending. So much potential wasted
