Synopsis: (edited from Dramawiki)
Multi-talented scholar Tang Bo Hu is traveling around the country with his good friend Qu Ji. Tang Bo Hu is trying to find the last beauty to complete his 'Nine Beauties Painting'. During his journey he falls in love with Qiu Xiang, a maid from the Hua family, and decides to paint her to complete his painting. In order to get close to her, he becomes a servant of the Hua family. Initially, Bo Hu is regarded as a talentless person by Qiu Xiang, but things get messier as several difficulties arise that only Bo Hu can solve. With different views about life, Bo Hu & Qiu Xiang seem to be incompatible. Spoilt Princess Ting Yu makes things harder as she bullies Bo Hu and others constantly, but falls in love with Bo Hu later. To complicate things, Bo Hu gets involved in a power struggle among the Emperor, Prince Ling and Heaven & Earth sect.
Slacker's review:
This drama changed the original story of "唐伯虎点秋香", and the whole drama is rather "无理头". Plot wise, not much comment as they modified the whole story & added many modern elements. Haha! Ending of the drama was super crappy, and I believed the scriptwriter cld have given us a better ending!
I enjoyed Moses doing comedic roles, and I think he's gd at handling serious or funny roles. Tang Bo Hu is quite a lame guy in this drama, but you wld just enjoy watching him solving all the problems in his witty ways. Moses chemistry with Johnson was perfect, while there's something lacking b/w Myolie & him...
Sorry Myolie, I did not like Qiu Xiang's image. It's just too weird to have an edgy look in a period drama. I thought Myolie's performance was alright, but definitely not her best.
Johnson Lee was terrific in his role, and with him as the supporting lead, you'll nv find the drama boring. Haha!
Elaine Yiu was not too bad in her role as well, but her character cld not stand out la.
As for Fala Chen, I thought she acted pretty well as the spoilt princess. You just feel like smacking her a few times. Hahaha!
Theme song is "秋香怒點唐伯虎" by Wong Cho Lam and MC Jin.
