Another victim of the Ruco Chan curse

First 10 episodes:

So far this drama is good, and I know for a fact Ruco Chan is not going to die at the end of this drama because it is a comedy first and other drama is secondary.

I’ll provide a more thorough review once this drama is completed, but overall this is very funny and has some great moments in it. The one thing that seems to ruin the immersion for me is the blatant advertising of products in the show. Usually it is just Sea Horse Furniture’s mattresses that ate advertised, this is fine as it doesn’t get in the way of the plot, but here there have been so many products advertised it made me go “Why that? Why there?” For example, I never thought I would see Po Chai Pills being advertised so clearly, and yet here it is shoved in our faces. These product placements make me shake my head.

Hopefully this show has a good ending! Let’s wait and see!

Update after completing the show:

I feel like drinking Malvira wine for some reason. If you're happy, Malvira. If you're sad, Malvira. If you're horny, Malvira. Man, they really go a little nuts with this product placement in the drama that I really do not want to see another Malvira bottle of wine for as long as I live.

I swear TVB is out for Ruco's blood because they decided to give him this role where he is a massive useless idiot. I don't understand why his recent dramas all have great starts but have extremely lacklustre endings as the drama slowly deteriorates from something potentially good into something so full of s**t. I am calling this the Ruco Chan curse because all of his recent dramas, where he has been the main male lead, have been this way. Will his run of nonsense end eventually?

The story starts off with Ruco being this really lucky guy who had gotten to his current work position out of pure good luck, but due to a bad financial decision by his wife played by Jinny Ng, they lose all of their money, so they both decide to go to Beijing to start over with Ruco as a CEO for a company there. He is later joined by his siblings, played by Tony Hung and Joey Thye, but then there is a huge plot twist where it turns out he is not really the CEO of the company but a target of a elaborate revenge plot by ex-colleague played by Marco Lo, who wanted revenge against Ruco because Ruco's luck resulted in Marco losing everything in Hong Kong. Ruco is then tasked with a redevelopment project to turn an abandoned park into a 500 million RMB cash generating area within a year or there would be consequences.

This was quite a good start and the premise was full of potential, but it was completely wasted. The main characters all bounce off each other well at the beginning, and many of the jokes and antics were truly hilarious that made the first half of the drama easily 8-9 out of 10. And then - of course - the Ruco curse hit, and it hit hardcore.

We get introduced to a girl played by Jacky Cai that Ruco once met many years ago for one day, ONE DAY, where they shared the day and it made Jacky smitten with him. She asked him to return a year later to meet up again but he was unable to make it due to having stomach problems, so a lot of the drama after they meet again was basically her secretly pushing Ruco to do things that would drive a wedge between him and his wife. She clearly wants to take the wife's place; she even imagines being with Ruco, marrying him and having his son, so how more obvious can it be that she wanted to get with him? This, of course, make his wife suspicious and grow enormously jealous, but Ruco keeps hanging out with Jacky despite his wife actively showing her distaste, and do you know why? Because Ruco is useless!

After being given the task of turning the abandoned park into a 500 million RMB cash generating area within a year, Ruco was unable to find any investors at all. We watch as he hopelessly tries to get investors, so it ends up with Jacky helping him out the entire time, getting him all these investors and big brands to sign up to the project, so clearly Ruco had no choice but to keep her closeby. What I found really stupid was that right near the end when things were really bad between Ruco and his wife, we find out Jacky had been fired from her consultant job because she had been spending too much time helping Ruco out, so what did she do? She just ups and left, leaving a note saying good luck to Ruco and his wife after all the damage she had caused, and realising she would never win Ruco's heart. What the actual f?

Ruco's onscreen wife Jinny also has her own romance issues as well outside of being jealous. Due to some circumstances, she ends up meeting her pop idol played by Edmond Leung, and suddenly ends up competing in a singing competition where he is one of the judges. He becomes her mentor later as well, causing Ruco to become insanely jealous. When we think things get really bad, Jinny makes the decision to give up the competition for the sake of her husband and family, which I thought was a huge move in trying to save her marriage. This makes Ruco looks like a huge a**hole, even after he decides to tell her she can continue to compete. This doesn't mean Jinny doesn't have her bad moments, she made a couple of romance analogies that made no sense. The one that triggered me the most was her explaining how marriage was like having a song list of favourite songs and when you get married you can only listen to one song on repeat for the rest of your life. No, marriage is not like a song, that is nonsense because a song only describes one emotion at that moment in time, marriage to a person you love is full of many emotions and memories.

There were many other romance issues the other characters encounter, but Ruco and Jinny's issues pretty much takeover the 2nd half of the drama that it becomes all encompassing and it just drags the show down into the dirt. And that guy Marco Lo who wanted to get revenge, did he do anything else later in the drama to make things interesting? Maybe try to undermine Ruco to spice up the drama? No! He pretty much just scolds Ruco in a few company meetings, and right at the end of the drama - out of nowhere - decides to be nice to Ruco and help him out. That came out of nowhere and made no sense, a massive waste of potential tension between these characters.

And the final scene... oh man. Tony Hung gets the final scene as he finally admits his feelings for his friend and confesses to her, and she agrees. Yay, everybody is happy and they start hugging, then the entire family appears, the camera zooms out to see the entire family but one person is missing. Ruco and Jinny are back together, Tony Hung gets with his girl, but the sister Joey Thye was all alone despite getting with her man. Why was the guy missing? Wasn't this a full family shot to end the drama? Why was one person missing?

Please stop this TVB.

Are TVB out of their minds?

This drama was such a disappointment it really hurt to watch it. It made me very angry at the beginning because the main character was just awful to watch, like watching a horse trying to walk like a human. The worst part was all the best stuff happens near the end, but it felt so rushed like they had to stuff 10 episodes worth of content into the final few episodes. This leaves on a cliffhanger, and I pray to all that is good that they do not make another sequel to this horror show of a drama. It’s only saving grace is the amazing Rebecca Zhu and legendary David Chiang - who both barely appear in the show. It also has a pretty good theme song. Other than that… damn

A darn good sci-fi chinese action movie

Man, everybody laughed and said it was too risky when Louis Koo wanted to make this movie, but hot dang it is one of the best - if not the best - chinese sci-fi movies made in recent memory. The special effects do range between convincing to a little awkward in some scenes, but overall this is awesome and full of incredible action set pieces that I would say are near-Hollywood quality. The story is something that we’re already seen before. Humanity has ruined the atmosphere and made the air toxic, and to top it off a meteor falls onto Earth in district B12 and an alien plant life form sprouts from it uncontrollably every so often, threatening life on Earth. Sure, many common tropes are in play here and recycled, but it is done here very well is a roster of huge HK stars to carry it. I had a lot of fun watching it and it is worth rewatching in future for the great action

I really wanted to like this drama

I really wanted to like this drama but sorry, it is just terrible. Charlene Choi plays JD, a forensic scientist who is great at her job but is completely socially awkward, similar to Temperence Brennan from the US TV series bones, but lacks her sex appeal. The story mixed her into some random stuff that made no sense; it is so contrived I actually felt my head spin.

The male lead is played by Jospeh Chang and he is definitely not a Seeley Booth, in fact he is a hot headed idiot who barely gets anything done right. The two mains have no chemistry at all so I didn’t care what happened between them. Watching Joseph constantly use mandarin to speak to the guys who ALL use canto got really obnoxious because he had no charm to him at all, he is just this hot headed bull that does stupid stuff and occasionally throws bad canto phrases at people. To be honest, I only watched this to the end because of Law Kar Ying, Kenny Wong and Michael Tao, legendary TVB actors. Everybody else was meh.

I really want to like this drama

Man… I really wanted to like this drama because it has some really great actors in it. We have Bowie Lam who has returned to showbiz, we got Monica Chan, we got Owen Cheung, this should have been amazing, instead we got some of the dumbest plot-points I have seen in a while.

Bowie Lam is a cop. He had a terrible childhood getting bullied but he is now a superintendent. That’s pretty impressive. He has a crush on his neighbor played by Yoyo Chen, who is a single mom to a 10-year-old daughter and occasionally gets visits from her loser ex-husband. Owen Cheung is - gasp - also a cop with the position of inspector, but the twist is that he has multiple personalities due to his past of being abused by his father. While investigating separate cases, their routes lead to each other and Owen starts to work temporarily under Bowie to investigate the new 7 deadly sins murders.

The new 7 deadly sins murders sounds pretty cliched but it could work if it was done right. Sadly, here, it wasn’t. They are called the new 7 deadly sins because it doesn’t cover the classics like lust or greed, instead it covers more modern problems… like pollution. Yes, pollution. These social justice warriors go out to find these sinners and outright murders them for their crimes.

It sounds okay as I describe it here, but let me explain why I think it is so stupid. So we have this socially awkward girl played by Joey Thye, who was drugged and taken to a really messed up place by this pervert to get sexually molested. This caused Joey to suffer PTSD, so she started an online untraceable forum called Saturn1115 that requires users to decipher various riddles before they could enter it, 7 riddles, in fact, because… yes… 7 sins and so on. People who can log in can share their anger at the world and the injustices in them. Soon, a group of people who managed to login and chat to Joey started a group to find sinners of the injustices discussed and decided to call it the new 7 deadly sins. Yes, that is right, the whole thing was started because Joey - instead of going to the cops for what she suffered - thought she would instead create an online forum for like-minded individuals to share their anger, and from it this group of murderers was formed. What the actual f? The best part is later Joey even tells one of their group that she didn’t want the murders to happen, she only wanted a place for people to share their distaste of the injustices. What was Joey exactly thinking was gonna happen when she made that untraceable forum?

Now, this group of murderers that go around dealing out death to the sinners do so in methods that make me go wtf. In the daytime, in full sunlight, these guys dress in full black, top to bottom, with sunglasses and black facemasks, and walk out in the open - in full view of the public - and yet nobody pays them any attention. They are so conspicuous you would have to be blind to not notice these guys looking suspicious. And what I love most of all is how they chase their targets. They don’t run, oh no. They walk slowly ala Michael Myers while the targets run for their lives, and yet somehow always manage to catch up to their target and finish them off. Also, they can enter buildings without being noticed, every single time! They show in the drama that CCTV can be blocked using this keyfob they have, but are you telling me the security guards there in the building failed to see them enter the building?

And man, the cops here are so useless. Bowie Lam and Owen Cheung are the best cops here and they do some really great detective work that I found very convincing, but everyone else was completely useless. Like Bowie’s superior is useless, and Bowie’s competition - this pretty boy Matthew Ko - was also useless. Every time they appeared onscreen and spoke I wanted to throw my chair at them.

I am doing my best to try and like this drama but all the shortcomings are just hurting me. I have left out a lot of detail and will bring them up when I finish the drama, in hopes that it improves but for now… why is it the way it is? I am at episode 13 right now so there are still many episodes left. The biggest question for me still is: why is this drama called D.I.D 12? I’m guessing D.I.D stands for Dissociative Identity Disorder, but the 12 next to it… is it saying Owen Cheung has 12 personalities? So far we’ve only seen 3, but having 12 would be pretty nuts.

Up to episode 16: oh man this episode brought a huge twist I didn’t see. I suspected but I thought I was overthinking it, but dang the reveal had me shook. So Bowie Lam’s sister, played by Monica Chan, returned to Hong Kong and started interfering with Bowie’s life. He decided to confront her at his home to ask her why she was doing this to him. At the same time, the cops find the skeletal remains of a girl and have finally identified the victim using skull reconstruction and hair samples. Just as the confrontation between Bowie and Monica reach a breaking point, Owen calls Bowie and tells him the victim is his sister. Bowie exclaims this was impossible and the camera swings around to reveal Monica was a hallucination. Basically, not only does Owen have multiple personalities to deal with, but also Bowie has as well. Does this mean the group of vigilantes are also his personalities? What on earth is going on? This immediately made the drama more interesting, and about time!

Up to episode 23: man it got interesting for a while and then it just dropped off. After Bowie finds out his personalities were the one committing the murders, he decided to kill himself to stop them but instead is locked up in his own mind by Monica, who takes full control of his body. This leads to a showdown in - yes - a warehouse where Monica attempts to force Owen Cheung to release his 3rd personality, the dark side one. This succeeds, but the ensuing fight somehow leads to both Bowie and Owen’s host personalities taking back control and deescalating the situation. Bowie hands himself over to the cops in the aftermath.

Man, I still can’t stand Matthew Ko’s character in this, which means he did a good acting job. He is a terrible cop and only got lucky in one operation, but he refuses to believe Bowie has multiple personalities so keeps shouting at Bowie. The drama even has Owen bring up how incompetent Matt is and another officer not disagreeing. Bowie gets put into a jail for the mentally challenged and undergoes analysis from a terrible psychiatrist who refuses to believe he has multiple personalities. The drama trues to drum up some extra drama here as Bowie’s other personalities influences the other inmates to help him as they get released to continue the murders. This was so predictable that I was surprised they didn’t all worship Bowie as a God at the same time.

While this is happening, Owen is busy fusing with his personalities, managing to combine with his light and dark sides. I mean it is a little too late now, but at least they resolve Owen’s issue. They think they can do the same for Bowie but man, have you seen how many people are in his mind? Good luck with that!

And man, the Saturn1115 forum is still active. Why is it still active? They all know Joey Thye set it up, they had her in custody, they know where she lives, Owen and crew visit her, and yet nobody in the police department has told her to shut it down since the entire new 7 deadly sins was started because of it. There is no logic to this at all! People are still on there and seeing a copycat killer uploading videos of their victims last words of confession before the cops find them dead later. Again, it all lead back to that cursed online place.

And talking about the cops, that leads me to the next thing. The one thing that still keeps this from getting a higher score was how it made the Hong Kong police look so useless, and somehow the members of the police who have mental issues are the better detectives. You even get a scene where the madam boss says “a crazy person investigating a crazy person is perfect” as she wanted Owen back in action. It just makes the cops look so lame. And what are the odds that both the best cops have the same multiple personality disorder? All we need now is for Raymond Cho to be the next guy to have the same affliction and we’ll gave a full house.

Completed: okay so the drama is finished and I took a few days after completing it to finish going “wtf”. We discover Bowie and Raymond Cho were secretly working together to complete the last sin cleansing from the new 7 deadly sins because Raymond wanted to repent for his crime. What did he do? He was the one who killed Bowie’s real older sister in the past, but he felt really bad about it so decided to help. Bowie, later, escapes from prison in typical TVB trope fashion, then it all leads to a final showdown at a building where all the sinners are put together to be burned alive by Bowie under the control of his elder sister. At the same time, one of the personalities played by Deon Cheung goes apeshit and start killing off the other personalities because he suddenly decided to have control of Bowie’s body all to himself. We see the personalities each die one-by-one and the drama tries to play this off as really sad but come on, we didn’t care because these are just personalities. In any case, the main crew rush over to stop the killings, and despite Owen HOLDING A GUN, Bowie still manages to burn them all with his lighter. Meanwhile, almost all personalities are dead now and it goes down to just Bowie and Deon facing off with Monica still in control of the body. Just then, the floor gives way and Bowie falls to the floor below with Yoyo Chen, his love interest. Yoyo woke up first and noticed the ceiling was falling, so she climbed over Bowie and took a huge piece of concrete rubble for Bowie, getting impaled by a piece of rebar protruding from it and died. The camera later zoomed out to show us how big the piece was and it was massive, easily over a ton of concrete, so it would have easily had killed the both of them on impact, but here we have Yoyo somehow holding it off and saving Bowie. It is also here we find out all the personalities are gone from Bowie.

Flash forward 6 months and we find Owen looking for Bowie and Raymond. It seemed that after the fire, they somehow went missing but nobody knows where they’ve gone. It took 6 months for Owen to Google Raymond’s name to find he taught at a university in Germany so he decided “Yes, they are in Germany.” He travelled to Germany, asked around a little bit, and managed to meet the ONLY cantonese speaker there who luckily saw Raymond, and then tracked them down to a villa. For the past 6 months, Raymond had brainwashed Bowie into thinking he was Raymond’s younger brother and that he was marrying Yoyo, when it was actually an emancipated Kelly Fu. Owen went in, knocked out Raymond, then talked Bowie down to realising he was being manipulated. Then they all go back to Hong Kong. How they managed to get to Germany without anybody noticing after a huge fire was not revealed, so we have to imagine Raymond had a load of money and threw it at some smugglers or something.

Back in Hong Kong, Bowie went back to being locked up in a prison for the criminally insane to stop himself doing more crazy stuff, while Owen and Kelly become a couple. Near the end we see Bowie meet his final personality that was hiding the entire time and - apparently - had been with him since the beginning. Calling herself “the protector” and played by Flora Chan, she appeared after Bowie saw a huge image of a baby babbling, indicating that she had been with him since he was born. So what was she saying? That Bowie had mental issues the day he was born? That he already had multiple personality disorder upon birth? In any case, I think this scene was stupid because if she had been there since the beginning and was called “the protector”, where was she when Bowie went through all the trauma in his life? She didn’t “protect” him then. This had me go “wtf”, why add this at the end?

But we at least know why it is called D.I.D 12 now. 3 from Owen and 9 from Bowie. This drama could have been great, instead it is just mediocre at best. Bowie’s acting was outstanding as always and the camera angles to show how a personality was in control was done rather well, but the plot and various issues with pacing and a terrible ending ruined this. Bowie must have an aching back because he carried this drama, but even then it wasn’t enough.

We’re kicking 2025 off with this? Oh boy…

First 5 episodes: What on earth were TVB thinking? I mean I get it, it is the New Year in 2025 so we want to start the year with a comedy but come on! A comedy with the main male lead is an adulterous swine? Why? The only thing worse than this would be the Lunar New Year having a drama with a lot of death and destruction.

I could not enjoy this drama because the set up is so stupid. Edwin Siu used to date Winki Lai, but they broke up - or as Winki puts it - on a break. That evening, heart broken, Edwin somehow ends up in bed with Jinny Ng and gets her pregnant. Since Edwin was an up and coming actor, he had to marry Jinny to maintain a positive image. And, coincidentally, Jinny managed to bag a commercial acting gig from Winki because of her innocent look, making Winki this incredibly lucky girl. I should remind you all that we are told all of this and never shown.

There were some funny moments but ultimately I hated most of the characters. Edwin Siu started an adulterous relationship with Winki during Covid while his wife and kids were stuck in Canada, so they have been secretly been together for 3 years. To maintain his image, he and Winki pretend to hate each other in public. Suddenly, his wife decides pay him a surprise visit to bring him some joy, and that is when all the “craziness” occurs. It is very predictable, and so far it is going as expected. I have no doubt in my mind Jinny is gonna end up with Brian Chu because they make it so obvious.

My biggest issue with the drama is why is Edwin being such an asshole? His wife played by Jinny is amazing and attentive and beautiful and is such a pleaser so why would Eddie go “no, I will cheat on her with Winki.” Why? And Edwin clearly overacts when he compliments her in public, could Jinny not tell he was not being truthful after being married to him for 15 years?

I also hate how Winki is happy to be the third party, like what? She doesn’t even mind it after 3 years, 3 long years of pretending in public and secretly sleeping with Edwin.

So far, the most annoying character is Anthony Ho. Goddamn, his character is so self-centered and selfish and he is such a piece of s**t that I imagined him with all his legs falling off every time he was onscreen and being an anus. I sure hopes he gets punished onscreen later.

Brian Chu is the only likeable character so far. He works for Edwin and helps him with many projects and solving difficult issues that go Edwin’s way.

Is the show gonna get better? My bet is hell no.

Episodes 6-10: man it keeps getting worse. Brian Chu is still my favorite character and the flashbacks to previous TVB dramas he was in and mixing that into this drama was quite funny, but everything else so far has still been a wtf for me.

So, Edwin’s wife leaves Hong Kong and return to Canada after a terrible advert she made got her kids bullied, so she decided to quit acting and return to Canada to solve that issue. She is a main character, so obviously TVB will make her return somehow, and that somehow was a competition to hire a new video editor by someone submitting edited video clips and getting the most votes on social media. The two best submissions obviously came from Jinny so she won easily and immediately returned to the office following the announcement, despite intense disapproval from Edwin. That timing made it as if Jinny was a fortune teller, because she bought tickets and flew 14-15 hours straight from Canada to arrive in Hong Kong and then catch a cab to the office at the right time the announcement was made, confident she would win. Like pardon?

And I’m confused. A video editor just edits videos so stays at the office, but we see Jinny basically acting as a Production Assistant doing PA work. Did they mess up the job role?

Winki also had me shaking my head constantly. She spends way too much time using this AI chat bot sharing her concerns and asking it questions that the AI bot replies in this robotic fashion. Does Winki not have any friends at all? Nobody she trusts like a sister? The dependence in AI makes her look even sadder than usual third parties as she has no human to talk to and just this cold robot thing throwing out responses based on a learning model. I understand AI is a hot term right now and TVB are trying to embrace it but every time it is used it just cheapens the experience for me, I don’t know why, like during the Miss Hong Kong 2023 pageant the hosts used AI generated questions and using AI to fuse past champions together to create the ultimate contestant like wtf? Stop it!

Talking of AI, oh man I forgot to mention how bad the deepfakes of younger Edwin, Jinny and Winki looked. Like you can immediately tell they were deepfakes and they look so creepy. Goddamn, why do they not just do the classic TVB use different actors to portray younger versions of the main cast? Why this abomination?

Edwin… what can I say about his character? A huge coward and pushes responsibility to other people. Watching him squirm just made me cringe immensely.

And Anthony Ho is still a huge unlikely lump. I hate the character here. I have nothing against Anthony as he can be great fun to watch, but his character here is just a huge douche and so I gotta give him credit, he does the douche role very well.

Episode 10 ends with Winki being rushed by paparazzi because she was ousted as a third party mistress. We all know it won’t be Edwin as the supposed man she is cheating with as it is only episode 10, but we will see for sure next week.

Episodes 11-15: as expected, the supposed man Winki was cheating on was not Edwin and she was framed by somebody else. This is quickly rectified and nothing of consequence really occurs.

And finally we see Winki expecting more out of the relationship with Edwin because of course this will always happen. People who just say “oh I’m happy being the third-party” will always want more, and it has taken 3 years for her to finally realise that. So she spends most of these episodes trying to indirectly force Edwin to admit to his wife that he had been cheating on her so he would finally and officially be with Winki. I find some things so stupid with her scenes, like she goes out drinking with Eric Tang while she was chatting to her AI thing, and she left the laptop fully open, powered up and unlocked. I mean, who does that? People would normally close their laptops to let it sleep, and it wasn’t like she was in a hurry either. Eric takes her home when she is drunk af and sees the laptop screen with the AI chat so finds out about the whole affair.

Edwin, as usual, is being a massive coward that is just makes me cringe to see him squirm in this drama. He tries to avoid responsibility by making others make decisions for him and does his annoying begging on Brian to get his help.

Brian is still the best character. He finds out about the whole thing and understandably is upset. I can understand his position, as a friend and employee to his boas should he help keep this secret or should he let the wife know.

Episode 15 ends with Jinny bringing brought to a location with Brian and seeing Edwin hugging Winki, so the cat is now outta the bag. The last 5 episodes are gonna get messy.

Episode 16-20: oh my gosh, that was a terrible ending, but we’ll talk about it later. The issues have with the final 5 episodes are more than just the ending. So Jinny decided to divorce Edwin and is cold towardshim. Edwin did his best to convince her that he would leave Winki and be faithful to Jinny but she says hell no. Meanwhile, Winki wins the main role of the wife in a movie where all three of them are in so Winki goes over to rub it into Jinny with a smug look on her face. The only good part that happened here was Jinny dropping an entire waste basket over Winki’s head in retaliation, and that felt good to watch.

Then we got scenes where Winki is such a child, such as trying to force Edwin to accept her instead of his family and even gaslighting herself when Edwin tells her he will break it off with her. She went on this rant about how she could give up everything to be with Edwin, like come on girl calm down! When Edwin and Jinny’s daughter tried to pretend she was locked in a box and tries pin the blame on Winki, this was quickly discovered and Winki used it as leverage to force Edwin into announcing publicly about his divorce. Man, how childish.

Edwin, as always, is such a terrible person that even when he actrdall upset and regretful I still had no sympathy for him. In real life he is dedicated to his actual wife and a great husband, so he did a great job here making me hate him. However, the worst husband is not Edwin, it is the character played by English Tang. He had more than 1 mistress and ended up strangling his wife with one hand when he was confronted. What the actual f***? He later tried to apologize for that but if it was me I would also tell him to go f*** himself and the divorce was 100% happening. Once that line is crossed and there is abuse, it is easy to cross it again no matter what promises are made.

Although quite a minor thing, I feel like I should bring this up. There was a scene where there was a power cut when the Edwin family were trying to have dinner, and Jinny decided to bring out many candles and said proudly “Luckily I brought all these candles from Canada.” What nonsense, she is seen with only one suitcase every time she is travelling and there were enough candles to fill half of that suitcase, so you’re telling me she carried half her suitcase full of candles and not get stopped by security for possible smuggling? And also, these were large candles, do you know how heavy they are? There was no way she would have taken those many candles when she would have carried more important items like outfits, curly tongs, hairdryer and so on.

The ending had Edwin confess to everybody about his adultery during a press conference for their new movie, but he took the blame for everything and even going as far as saying he tried wooing Winki but Winki rejected him. As everybody started going nuts, he mumbles something inaudible before we fast forward 1 year into the future and see he had decided to become a monk. Man, what era is this? Did he think he was some Jin Yong martial arts epic master where he could absolved his sins by becoming a monk? I found this ending to be so stupid, like there were plenty of ways to make amends so why a monk? I was half expecting him to carve buddhist statues out of wood and learn 九陽神功 or something.

Brian predictably ended up with Jinny, and that was nice to see, and Brian is still the best character in the drama, right up until the end. Overall a terrible drama and I didn’t really care about anybody except for Brian. I am never rewatching this in future because it is so stupid.

Oh yeah, Anthony Ho sucked the entire drama. I hate his character throughout and that never changed. He never gets his just desserts for being such an annoying anus. Unforgivable.

My goodness, wtf?

This drama is a direct sequel of Forensic Heroes 5, and despite some hype because it had been a while since I have seen Bosco Wong onscreen, this was ultimately a huge disappointment. Don't get me wrong, there were some interesting scientific explanations for many weird cases the show brought up, but the character situations and interactions just had me go wtf (what the fish) often. Really, I was going wtf so many times that I lost count.

So, this kicked off directly from the last series where Bosco Wong and Venus Wong are now married, Benjamin Yuen had broken up with Sisley Choi following what happened previously, and Jacky Cai was suffering from severe PTSD after being tortured at the hands of the crazy Kelvin Kwan. This series dealt with the aftermath of some traumatic events from the last series, but since the writers needed the trinity of main characters to suffer, they made Bosco Wong’s wife go missing while they were visiting Osaka, Japan.

What really annoyed me was how annoying most of the people were in the series. Bosco was not annoying, but he was so boring to watch because of how the character was written, that the only part in the drama where he started getting interesting was near the end when he was desperate to find his wife.

Bosco is still the same amazing lead of forensic investigation, but directly under him were several people - particularly Joey Thye and Niklas Lam. Now, I didn't mind Joey because she added the teacher’s pet element to the show, which was quite fun to watch, but Niklas Lam was just so annoying to watch. The guy's face rubs me the wrong way and in all his scenes he is just talking nonsense. He is only there to give Joey somebody to talk to, giving her more lines to speak. The guy cannot act, period. But somehow there is someone in the team who is even more pointless and that is Juliana Kwok. She is purely there as eye candy and she barely says anything, cannot (or does not) emote much, and the scenes where she was apparently doing science looked so unconvincing. She doesn’t even show us her ample assets. Why was she in this drama? Why? Wtf?

It is not just people in the forensic team that are annoying. Benjamin Yuen is still a cop and under him is this female actor that I have forgotten the name off. This is not my fault, she has a very generic face and spoke in a very generic way, so much so that I cannot remember anything unique about her except that she annoyed me enormously. Her grandfather was a fortune teller so she had picked up some tricks from him, and she spends the start of the drama thinking she would bring bad luck to some characters because their birth signs were clashing or something. And when something did happen, she felt responsible because she was too close to them. B***h please, you're not that important. She later checked out the entire teams’ details, even Benjamin Yuen's, and told Benjamin his fortune causing Benjamin to slam his hand on his desk (and rightly so). I found her very disrespectful because she did it without asking for permission first, a clear invasion of privacy because she thought Jupiter was going retrograde up Uranus. What really was the camel that broke the camel’s back was later - while in hospital to take a statement - she was speaking to a rape victim and assumed she killed her rapist, so coldly but firmly told the victim to confess to the murder or she would get into trouble later. Who talks like that? I hated her character immensely after that scene, like who did she think she was? Wtf?

Benjamin was not without his issues either. Early into the drama, one of his underlings played by Mark Ma, dies after being stabbed by a drug addict. This led to Mark leaving behind his wife, played by Kelly Fu, and their son. Now, I understand you supporting the family of the bereaved and helping them out during this time of grief, but Benjamin decided to allow both to move into his home. He was a single guy who had just broken up with his fiancée so was living alone, so having both move in with him was inappropriate, especially after her husband had passed away. Why not stay with family? This, predictably, led to Benjamin and Kelly developing feelings for each. Luckily, the drama ends with Kelly taking her son and moving to Paris, leaving Benjamin alone and sad, but if I am honest, he shouldn't have invited them over to live with him in the first place. Wtf?

And then we have Jacky Cai who was suffering from major PTSD and was seeing Kelvin Kwan everywhere she went, despite Kelvin dying in the last series. She later meets a night Doctor who looked exactly like Kelvin Kwan and had the same birthday date as well. Later, Jacky approached the Kelvin lookalike, and they became friends, and she started to think her PTSD was getting better, despite him meeting Bosco and Benjamin and both telling her that this Doctor guy had no resemblance to Kelvin at all. She obviously still had severe PTSD issues, but her friends would not try to help her and instead just brushed it off. Things really came to a head near the end of the drama when the lookalike Kelvin started to become deranged and thought Jacky liked him but ends up getting killed by his ex-wife. Later when Jacky looked at his corpse on the autopsy table did she realise it was actually King Lam. Why did nobody tell her "Yo, you need help because he looks nothing like Kelvin" and instead just humored her? Why? Wtf?

We now get to Joman Chiang, a supermodel who is hiding from her ex-boyfriend, played by Leonard Cheng, and has a manager played by Ball Mang. Now her manager Ball Mang was so darn useless, I mean in the drama there were so many times I wondered why Joman kept her around because she was not doing a good job as her so-called manager. For example, Ball Mang decided to go on holiday, and instead of getting someone to take over for the time she was away, she tells Joman to take care of herself for a few days. And in one case Ball even called Bosco - because he was a neighbor, to pop over and help out Joman because she was away. What? Why should he help when you're the one getting paid? She later found out Joman was pregnant with Leonard's baby, and despite being told not to tell anybody, she told Leonard leading to many awkward encounters. Why? And Leonard also used Ball Mang to force himself into Joman's apartment. My goodness, I would have fired her ass if she was my manager. So useless! Wtf?

Leonard Cheng as the ex-boyfriend was also unbelievably infuriating to watch. The guy is the sole male heir to the Lee family conglomerate, so his mother had huge control over everything he did. Every single word that came out of his mouth was "I need to ask my mom" or "My mom should know about this" or "Please do this or my mom would be angry". Like dude, can you think for yourself? Even if you're afraid of your mother, don't bring her up in every sentence! And to rub in how pathetic he was, he didn’t understand that no matter how many times Joman told him no she didn't want to be with him, he would not take no for an answer, being unable to comprehend that some people just cannot be bought with money. The scene where he was in the car and simply didn't understand that Joman really did not want to be with him made me want to break his neck telepathically. But I did not have to wait too long because later his elder sister just outright murders him. Wtf?

Oh yes, his elder sister is played by Toby Chan, and she really wanted to be the Lee family successor. Despite her brother telling her repeatedly that he did not want to be heir and would not fight for it, she still murdered him out of jealousy because she assumed their mother loved him the most and that he was lying. That was her brother, and she knew he was useless and yet she still killed him to take over the family business. That action made no sense because at that point he had already given everything up to try and be with Joman so he had nothing to stand on, but the sister just would not stop. Wtf?

And now we get to the final biggest head scratcher that just sealed it for me. Bosco had been spending the entire drama flying back to Osaka to look for his wife every weekend in an obvious Greater Bay Airlines promotional move, he finally found out what happened to his wife. His wife's friend, played by James Ng, had spent the entire time acting like he was helping Bosco in investigating the wife's disappearance, but it turned out that it was James who had abducted her and locked her away in a cage. The reason? In the past when Venus Wong and James Ng were at the same University in Japan, James had developed a crush on Venus but was unable to tell her his feelings because she said she was returning to Hong Kong. He had forgotten about her and had married Angel Chiang, but suddenly Venus returned to Japan and brought with her Bosco, her new husband. This apparently made him insanely jealous, and unlike a normal person who would let it go and realise he was already happily married, he decided to kidnap Venus, lock her in a cage, and try to make Venus love him. Oh yes sure, that was very romantic how he kidnapped her and locked her in a cage! (I was being sarcastic there). If that was not stupid enough, but what I found more ridiculous was how the drama did a fake-out death of Venus, so we all thought she had died, and right at the end of the drama - fast forward a few months - we see that she was okay and was happily camping with Bosco while travelling the world. She was completely fine! After over 1 year of being locked up and isolated from the world in a small cage - in the dark - she apparently had no PTSD or needed any time to recover at all, just a few months and boom yeah, she's good, she's fine! Wtf?

Despite all the idiocy in the drama, there were a few people who were exceptionally good in the drama.

Mason Fung plays the autistic younger brother of Venus Wong, and he plays the autistic role extremely well. His mannerisms and how to speaks were really accurate, and even when his sister goes missing, he showed little emotion about it, which was actually very accurate. He does care but does not show it openly or admit to it unless asked.

I also found Bob Lam as Bosco's boss to be entertaining. He is the much-needed comedic relief the show needed, and it cuts through the constant scientific postulating everybody in the forensic team does. Bob Lam is a talented forensic scientist, but was shown to be a mediocre leader, which really fitted with how Bob naturally acts so it worked well. I know many call him the cheap man's Bobby Au-Yeung, but I found him a lot of fun to watch whenever there were scenes with him in there.

But the best acting must be given to Nicole Wan. She portrayed a Japanese victim of a serial female attacker, who would wear a Fox mask and disfigure his victims. Her portrayal of a Japanese woman using English with a Japanese accent was unbelievably convincing and really accurate to how a Japanese person would annunciate English. I was very impressed with her performance.

I was hoping for so much more, but ultimately this drama was disappointing and made me want to watch the first three Forensic Heroes series instead. Those are classics! This just makes my class sick!

I love watching Kent Cheng

This is a comedy drama and I just love watching Kent Cheng in action. He has always been great to watch act, and here in this role he is witty, smart, experienced and really had great comedic timing. He stars as a wealthy business man that has a highly dysfunctional family with a son that won’t listen to him, a girlfriend who he won’t marry and a daughter who hides stuff from him. One of the best scenes was when he finds his daughter, played by Kelly Fu, living in poverty in Hong Kong because she divorced her cheating husband - a husband Kent forced on her - and when Kent finds out he sarcastically replied, “Such a small problem and you never told me?” Just pure gold!

Kent’s quips are also on point, just so sharp and with no hesitation and he doesn’t filter his emotions either. Watching his interaction with each member of the cast is just so funny, especially with Edwin Siu and Archie Sin.

The main driving plot so far is that Kent was abducted and was threatened by his kidnappers to give them money or else. They even threw in a line “someone in your family made us do this”, to which Kent grew suspicious of everybody in his inner circle. Episode 5 brings this plot point to a “conclusion” but Kent is not convinced so this is still the main drive of the plot.

So far a very entertaining drama. I can’t wait for more episodes next week!

Episode 6-12: Kent will a still on top of his game. All the best scenes have him in it and when Edwin Siu is with him and they banter back and forth it is just extra special. The story so far has some twists and turns but as this is a comedy, it doesn’t go too insane. The abduction is now old news and no longer a driving plot point.

The biggest stereotype this drama throws out there was how the IT guy could do everything to do with computing. Hacking, Photoshop, video editing… the IT guy could do it all. And the best part was that he was the ONLY IT guy in the entire company. I know that this is just a comedy so it was done for comedic reasons and as a plot driving device, yet I kept shaking my head at the ridiculousness when everybody went up to him with all problems related to using a computer. This is like expecting a baker to know how to fix an oven when it breaks and how to make a Consommé.

Amy Fan, for now, is by far the most annoying character in the series for me. Damn, her character just sucks. So much nonsense is caused by her and her… secret son? I hope she gets her just desserts.

Episodes 13-17: man I am getting so sick of the love themes in the drama. Edwin Siu and Kelly Fu have a love theme sang by Edwin himself but it is an awful song that sounds like Edwin is trying to summon a demon through a straw. Then we have Archie Sin and Yuki Law who have a romance going in the drama and they also have a love theme that is sang by both of them. The song is a cover of a classic and the both of them butcher it, like just ruin it with their incompetent singing. Both love themes play almost every time the couples are onscreen and when there is a pause during their conversations that it not only becomes predictable but also incredibly annoying. What on earth was the sound producer thinking?

Amy Fan is the girlfriend of Kent in this drama but she keeps acting all chummy and friendly to this guy played by Felix Ng. I’ve waited ages to find out what relationship they have because they act like they were having an affair behind Kent’s back but are never given a chance to explain. Later we get a chance to find out when Kelly asked her what exactly their relationship was, but Amy refused to reveal it saying “what does it matter?” It matters to the viewers dammit! Don’t tell me you are mother and son and it’s “normal” for you guys to act like that? Geez just reveal it already!

One thing that did change for me though was the most annoying character was no longer Amy but Raymond Cho. As the character of the son to Kent, he is rude to employees, feckless and idiotic and doesn’t listen to his father’s wisdom. Instead he made so many stupid decisions that his father had to help him get out of, and later for some stupid reason he teams up with his father’s competitor to teach his father a lesson, even stealing an important document his father could use to defend himself against a false claim of recipe plagiarism. What son would do that purposely to their own father? Wtf? When Kent decided to teach his son a lesson by making him bankrupt I was fully onboard. Raymond can get stuffed! What a stupid character.

Final update: what just happened? I watched the final 3 episodes and I am still getting over how bad the ending is. Yuki Law - as the granddaughter of Kent Cheng but not really - did a sudden heel turn and took over Kent’s business when Kent signed over everything to her as insurance when he went for heart bypass surgery. Yuki took this opportunity to take over the entire company and made huge changes, fired a bunch of people and even took over the main home. Her excuse was that she knew she was not really Kent’s granddaughter since she was 8 and she was only doing what her grandfather taught her.

Suddenly, in the final episode we find out that Yuki was only doing it to teach her grandfather a lesson so he would change and for the family to get back together again because the conflict within was pulling all members apart. Why did she decide to do it all of a sudden? Because - and get this - she was reading an online novel written by some Korean called Harry Park, that just so happened to be about a family in the same situation they were in, so Yuki thought that by following the plot of the novel it would also solve the issues in her family. Wtf? And this somehow works! After Kent finds out about this, he quickly accepted it and all is well. Do you know what a real old cranky Chinese man would do in real life? Curse the granddaughter because that is some BS you don’t do to your family.

I know this is supposed to be a happy ending but come on, this is so contrived and out of left field that it requires effort to write something this bad purposely. If it wasn’t for Kent this drama would be a steaming pile of crap.

And Raymond Cho stilled sucked at the end. Man, his character is so lame.

Just watch the original

This is a remake of the original that had the legendary Julian Cheung, Steven Ma, Charmaine Sheh and Nancy Sit. Here we have… yeah…

The remake sucks. This is the short version of the review. The best thing about the drama is the music, but this is only because it is a cover of the original song, sang by Hubert Wu. There is also a cover version where Hubert sang the cover with his co-stars Regina Ho and Joey Law, and let’s just say you should stick with the Hubert only version because those two cannot sing. Hot dang they cannot sing.

The story almost follows the original beat for beat except that it is based in Hong Kong and has a variety of changes to keep things “fresh”, but honestly it is terrible. Hubert does well as the mute Man Cho and Mai Suet was great as Sa Kiu, but holy crap what were the casting crew doing putting Regina Ho as Kwan Ho and Joey Law as Sito Lai Sun? They are just awful! Especially Joey Law, that guy has one expression that he uses in every role he has been in and it gets real old real fast. It is like watching a wooden board flopping in the wind every time he was onscreen; I’ve seen more emotion coming from a pomelo than from him.

I found Charmaine’s Kwan Ho annoying in the original series and put up with it because it was offset with the always charming Julian Cheung, but here Regina’s Kwan Ho was just goddamn unbearable. She was better outfitted than the original character for sure, but her high pitch whiney voice and acting just got on my nerves. She made Charmaine’s Kwan Ho look like a Goddess.

Some of the changes were things I wanted in the original like Kwan Ho not being with Sito Lai Sun and instead staying and being with Man Cho, but one of the changes was a massive sin against the original and I will never rewatch this drama again because of it. Man Cho manages to regain his ability to speak in the original, and he does so here as well with Hubert speaking about 2/3 the way through, but while the original kept his ability to speak, the remake decided to give Man Cho sudden throat cancer - wtf - so he had to go mute again. They did Man Cho real dirty here and I found it inexcusable. I think the TVB writers were trying to balance the “you get Kwan Ho but you must lose your voice” but I think that’s bullshit. Man Cho already had a tragic back story, he didn’t need that extra blow. No, this remake can get stuffed

Disappointing

As this was a Youku joint production with TVB, I knew to expect the typical Youku grim-dark grey sombre tone they love to slather all over their dramas, and yes, it's here. As soon as episode 1 started, it was just full of pure grim-dark seedy Hong Kong undertones.

I don't hate this drama at all, don't get me wrong. It has Moses Chan as a terminal cancer sufferer who was locked up for drug dealing, and after over a decade in prison,wants to spend his last remaining time alive dealing even more drugs. Then we have Nancy Wu being this strange shades-of-grey character that has us guessing if she is helping Moses or not. Then we have the police officer played by Edwin Siu, who has mild brain damage so is unable to feel emotions properly, which really frustrates his ex-girlfriend played by Kelly Cheung, who still has feelings for him. It is all great acting and I enjoyed it a lot. What ruins the entire drama is Matthew Ho's character and how some of the writing just makes no darn sense.

Oh yeah, there will be spoilers, so just warning you.

Matthew Ho plays this mute food delivery guy that communicates using Hong Kong sign language. This was great, I thought, because we wouldn't have to hear Matthew speaking, because I do find his acting rather terrible. He always plays the same role of "oblivious idiot is oblivious", but they added voiceovers spoken by him to let us know what he is saying anyway. That's pretty normal for mute characters on TVB though, so that is not my complaint. My complaint is that it seems every single person, for reasons unknown, cares a lot about him a lot for NO REASON. It makes no sense why they all care about him so much as there were no events that had Matthew do stuff to make them indebted to him. Instead, they just somehow slowly grew protective of him over the course of the drama, and I kept wondering if I had missed any episodes where these people owed him... but no!

For example, Rosita Kwok's character grew up with him so her caring about him I understand, but later we see the reporter Bowie Cheung suddenly caring a lot about him. Why? And then we had Moses Chan's Man Wah who meets him once after Nancy Wu introduced them, and then suddenly - out of the blue - Moses claims he treats Matthew like family and wants to give him all this stuff to help him. Why did that happen and when? And everybody learns sign language in record time to be able to read his hand signs.

And the thing that broke the character for me was when his kid sister was kidnapped and is later accidentally killed due to a plan gone wrong. The cause is related to Moses and yet somehow Matthew - who knew Moses was involved - is completely okay with the guy and even speaks to him soon after while calling him a friend. Dude... your sister died because of that man, what is wrong with you?

One great thing about the drama though is the great main theme song. Dang, that is one cool canto metal track, but it can't make me put the score higher than a 6 out of 10 overall. Matthew Ho ruins it.

A great drama!

Yes it has all the typical forced and contrived relationship nonsense in there but man I really liked this drama. I loved the odd combination of Rosina Lam and Kalok Chow, but it works. I also loved David Chiang turning up in his Al Cappuccino role for a a few minutes and then immediately putting him into the dad role, that was unexpected but quite lighthearted fun.

The pets they used were really well trained. In the entertainment business it is said that there are two things you should try to avoid giving dialogue if possible, very young children and animals, and yet here the animals were great especially the golden retriever. But what I found really weird was how all the animals could understand each other, a dog could chat to a cat and parrot, and yet cannot understand human speech. If we as humans cannot understand foreign languages then how do animals of different species understand each other? The Chinese do have the saying “duck and chicken talking” meaning they speak but so not understand each other, so I found it really weird. The dubbing is also weird as the animals do not move their mouths, almost as if it was telepathy.

The thing that made me laugh the most was how the golden retriever was said to have the mental acuity of a child, maybe 5 years old, but somehow in its dubbed dialogue it can throw out profound and complex poetry, and yet on the other hand doesn’t know what a flip phone is. This just adds to the ridiculousness of the entire show and it was hilarious.

I recommend this show purely for the silliness or if it all, and the show knows it is silly and embraces it.

I won't rewatch this

Jessica Hsuan and Frankie Lam are great in this series. The history of their characters stories is really quite traumatic if I am honest, and Frankie always being the thoughtful mature guy to the really insecure Jessica really grated on my nerves but it all ended ok. However, I refuse to watch it again. Why? One word. Cherry. F*** Cherry. Natalie Tong really made the character this hateful witch I just wanted to strangle, and that ladt scene with poor Vincent... nope. Unforgivable! How was that character written that way ans allowed to win awards? The awards were rigged!

This is a pretty good show but one thing ruins it for me

I’ll admit, I loved the first Big White Duel season, so I was hoping for more awesomeness in this. I suspended my disbelief for some of the miraculous surgeries carried out in this drama by the amazing cast, and I can ignore some of the small plotholes it presents, but one thing I could mot forgive is Natalie Tong. Why does she nearly always play a dumb character in these dramas? I really, really hated her character Cherry in My Unfair Lady and how she treated Vincent Wong I wanted to throw my teacup at my TV, and here she does it again by being an unbelievable idiot that it blows my mind. In the drama it shows she made some past decisions that were extremely childish and selfish, and in the present day while dating Kenneth Ma’s character Dr. Tong Ming, she again makes stupid decisions that lead to her misfortune - her own fault - and she decides to just be friends with Tong Ming. Like wtf? This show should he an 8 or 9, but her character pulls it down to a 7.

What drugs were they taking to make this?

Man, as I have seen the previous Flying Tiger I knew what to expect from this formulaic series, but I was not prepared for the new depths of suspended disbelief I had to sit through. Many big TVB names are here like Kenneth Ma and Michael Miu, and my favourite wonky canto actor Michael Wong was in it as well speaking in his unique way, but this is all ruined by the inclusion of Lee Pace. Don't mistaken me, Lee is a great actor and has done amazing stuff, but h is completely wasted here in this series. Some scenes with him had me go "what the fish?" because it made no sense, like throwing a can of... I think shaving cream... into a microwave, which destroys a house. That had me laughing so hard! And when Lee Pace's character sees his parents die, the shots to show how sad he was was done so poorly I had to shake my head, and I never do that, and he gets over his parents death so quickly I got massive whiplash. Also, talking about his parents, the terrorists of the drama held his parents hostage so that Lee's character would comply to their demands, but before Lee could carry out any instructions the terrorists kill them anyway, losing any leverage they had on him, and yet he continued to follow their instructions. What sort of writing is that? Man, there is suspension of disbelief, but here you need to be suspended by a cliff to follow this properly.

On the bright side, great soundtrack.

What the heck is this?

After watching two incredible dramas with Kenneth Ma this year I thought TVB were only going to get better, but instead we get this abomination. Ruco Chan really is unlucky, the first drama with him as lead this year is a pile of manure and that breaks my heart. I really like Ruco and I really want him to be in an awesome, likeable role, but here his acting is just mediocre. It is not his fault as we've all seen him be awesome, but the role he was given is just... meh.

Besides from him, the other main characters are just annoying. Mandy Wong here plays a pretty pitiful role, but her being this huge pushover just had me so angry because her meekness goes from pitiful to just pathetic. Roxanne Tong has a main role as a cop here, but she is so irritating to watch because her acting is awful and she has no chemistry at all with any of the other characters of the show. She just spends the entire time failing as a cop and following Ruco Chan like a leech because of her hunches with little reason to do so. Kenneth Ma needs to show her how its done, man.

One thing that also did not fail to get my blood boiling is Angelina Lo. Every single role I see her in gets me mad because she aways plays the same whiney, moany annoying f'ing old woman that is so unlikeable it makes me want to throw my phone at the TV. She has been typecast into the rich annoying old woman role and I get it, she is really good at it, but whenever I hear her voice or see her on the TV I automatically brace myself for the inevitable wave of anger to crash over me like a tidal wave of diarrhoea.

The best part of the entire drama is Hugo Ng as this massive a'hole father to Mandy Wong's character, who just got out of prison after 30 years. He is allowed to let loose and overact to his heart's content, just eating up every single scene he is in by being the rowdy and unpredictable villain and it is just joyous to watch him in action. If this drama did not have him in it it would not even be worth watching. I am watching this purely for Hugo, more crazy Hugo please!!

EDIT: my goodness, I really want Angelina Lo and Roxanne Tong to just stop acting in this drama already. If they die I will celebrate, damn they are both as annoying as each other.
