Synopsis:
Criminal Investigation Department officer Zhan Long follows some kidnappers to a hotel while on duty. As soon as he enters the hotel, the medical authorities announce the closure of the hotel after a guest is found positive for having the H1N1 virus. While he was in the hotel, he meets all sorts of people including Calvin Yi, who pretends to be a Thai-Chinese jeweller and his partner Christy, who pretended to be a rich man's wife. Although Long knows that Calvin has nothing to do with the kidnapping, he believes something sinister is going on b/w Calvin & Christy. He join hands with blundering reporter Tang Jing to probe into the case. As they go deeper, they are not only astonished by the guests’ stories but also their identities. The 7-days closure will come to an end...
Slacker's review:
I bet the cast had an "easy" time to film most of the drama in the same place, the hotel. Ha! "7 days" got an interesting background with H1N1, and the whole drama revolved ard the people in the hotel. 7 days in the hotel seemed so long for a 20 episode drama, so it was boring to see the cast at the same place everyday. There turned out to be some good twists with Calvin & Christy's storyline, and the ending for them was not bad. Nice endings don't always have to be happy...
Steven's performance was average here, though it's nice to see him with not-so-good roles. Calvin is a guy full of plans and he hid his feelings very well. Chemistry with Sonija was not too bad, but I felt their scenes together were too little.
I liked Sonija's portrayal of Christy. Christy is a character full of developments, from being a smart thief to being fooled/betrayed by her partner, to finding out the truth of the whole incident etc.
Bosco's character is typical, and you can't fault him much. Ending for Long was a little crappy. I thought he wld end up with Tang Jing leh....
Patrick Tang's Nan is one of the crucial guys in the drama, as he is linked to the kidnapping. Though it's a pity to see Patrick acting in supporting roles, he did nt disappoint us with his acting.
Good to see Joyce Cheng, and I did not think much of her acting previously. Jing is very suitable for her and her acting was natural.
