[爱情魔戒 The Magic Ring] CTS Actors: Zheng Yuan Chang, Xia Yu Qiao, Bai Ji Sheng, Qian Wei Shan etc
Plot goes like this. Jing Hang (ZYC) is a lawyer who works for the poor while Xiao Jun (XYQ) is juat a plain jane. Ke Ting (QWS) is supposed to be JH bro Jing Yuan's gf, but in the end she confessed she like JH instead. So his bro left and found another galfren Yu Qing who looked like ke ting lah. Xiao Jun was on the train when she met JY and YQ. Just when YQ lent her wedding ring to XJ, the train crashed. Both JY & YQ were killed while XJ was saved but being mistaken as YQ. So, the Du's brought her home while she lost her memory lah..XJ was pregnant (her ex-bf) but the Du's thought she's carrying JY' child. Now she became the da shao nai nai in the family. The truth soon leaked out to JH,KT and rong sao. As the plot moves along, JH broke up with KT becoz he loves XJ while Zhe Kai (BJS), JH's classmate cum foe is after KT. So ultimately, the truth would be known by all lah...and Du's business would face challenges. Actually the plot was ok to me though it's kinda standard. Acting wise...not bad on the whole. Wanna pin-point on ZYC & XYQ lah. ZYC had this strange accent when he speak and i dont like him shouting. His expressions were kinda same sometimes but i guessed he's still a newbie then. XYQ was ok, though her crying scenes were not as gd. Hahaha! I like the intro of the drama when both of them dressed up like some kind of greek ppl..with beautiful scenery.
[尚道！我们上学去！Let's go to sch! Sang-doo!] KBS Actors: Jeong Ji Hoon, Gong Hyo Jin, Lee Dong Gun, Hong Soo Hyun etc
Rain a.k.a JJH's first drama in 2003. Plot wise is average to me, though the ending it's hard to say good or bad. They were together in the end, but in another world of their own..see? So Sang doo (JJH) knew Eun Hwan (GHJ) when they were in high sch...and used to be lovers. SD suddenly disappeared while EH moved to the city. Actually SD kenna jail term lah and EH became a teacher and had a bf Min Suk (LDG). So SD lived in the city and tagged along with a daughter of his..(so end up the daughter is not his..but he still love her lah) So his "daughter" was sick and had to stay in hospital daily..and she likes MS too...hahaha! (handsome doctor mah) So SD finally saw EH and became her student in the school lah, while he and his uncle worked as giggolos. Bengz! Starting part of the drama was quite funny, but getting sadder and sadder lah. Cant stand GHJ crying...just too noisy lah..and ugly. Besides that, her acting skill was not bad. Rain as a newcomer had done a gd job in this drama..while it's a pity LDG was the pei jiao lah..
Recommend to those who like Rain and teary dramas. For the others, perhaps just jump to Full house (Rain's 2nd drama).
[千金百分百 100% Senorita] Settv/CTS Actors: Joe Chen Qiao En, Lin Wei Jun, Wen Zhao Lun, Huo Jian Hua, Xu Meng Zhe, Jiang Zu Ping, Ke Yi Rou etc
40 epis is way too long!!!! Plot was kinda draggy but still ok to me. Firstly, CQE acted in 2 roles as a pair of twin sisters, seperated from birth. One became rich while the other is plain jane. So the rich gal was the gf of WZL, who plotted her accident. On the other hand, the plain jane likes HJH, who likes the other twin instead. So after the accident, the rich gal kenna disfigured and LWJ would come into the drama then. So with her lost identity and look, she couldnt return to her home. Ended up she befriended her twin (by CQE) and started to plot her revenge on WZL. WZL on the other hand, had revendous with another LWJ's good pal JZP. Complicated huh? So while the rest are helping LWJ to plot her revenge, the truth was out and LWJ needed CQE to help her go back to co. So CQE had to disguise as the rich gal and went to work in the co...while WZL kept on testing her to check if she's really that rich gal. Soon after that, WZL fell in love with CQE while LWJ was together with HJH. And FINALLY! the big truth would be revealed and WZL kenna jail term...but with CQE waiting for him outside. What a ending... WZL is still handsome but his mandarin still has some canto accent. CQE is good at acting plain janes lah..but her rich gal image was rather fresh..too bad it only lasted for a short while. LWJ is ok whole HJH couldnt act. Just plain shouting and not much expressions from him. JZP is ok too...I guess the plot kept twist & turn but the characters were not given chance to fa hui. Not enough depth about the characters...thus their acting skills were average too. Watch if u have time, or else miss a few epis wont die lah..u wont miss the track too much.

Tv Drama Review 10 - HR, TLB, ICAC' 04

[天国的嫁衣 Heaven's robes] Settv/Cts Actors: Leon J Williams, Cyndi Wang, Ming Dao, Guan Ying etc
Dont expect the same thing if you had watched "WZBQW". The plot went downhill in the middle and the drama simply dragged too long. They shld have kept it to 20 epis instead of 29. Plot was simple, a plain jane Tao ai qing met her "enemy" Lu zi hao in Paris. Of coz they werent in good terms when they returned to taiwan. Ai qing also met the racing champion Cheng Hai Nuo, who was interested in her too. So, to save her farm from being confiscated by Zi hao, ai qing went to work for him and then something sparks b/w them la. Alright, a love triangle here. Katrina (Guan Ying) was zi hao's gf but she wld disappeared half way lah...was surprised that she didnt remain in the show till the end. Basically there wld be a few luv triangles here & there..and zi hao's dad really sux. Dont like wang yue to act as zi hao's mum..she's better to be shan cai's mum lah...not convincing in acting rich wife's role. Hahaha! So end up the plot is like pushing ai qing here & there b/w hai nuo and zi hao..sianz! Dont worry, ending not bad lah. The plot sux because there were many twist & turns too, and what made it worse was the acting skills. Ming dao is not bad considering him as a newbie. Though somehow i find his talking tone like dang ou leh. Hahaha! Dun like his shouting scenes though, just plain angry look, nothing else le. Cyndi was ok lah, though sometimes she try to act cute lah..hahaha! As for our Leon leh, besides his mandarin accent which sounds like singaporean...his spoke english lots of time too. Sometimes i find this quite irritating...either you speak all mandarin or just a little eng lah. Dont suddenly speak one sentence of mandarin and the rest in eng..very funny leh. cant demand too much on his acting, hope he has made improvements in his 2nd drama. The rest of the actors are so so lah, think their acting skills cannot make it..given my standards. hahaha! Conclusion: Watch if you have nothing to do, or just catch the front epis...
[天涯侠医 The Last Breakthrough] TVB Actors: Nicky Cheung, Sonijia Kwok, Raymond Lam, Leila Tong, Bosco Wong, Chen Min Zhi, Lian Kai etc
Surprisingly it turns out to be a nice drama. Given the viewership in HK, i thought it's just an average drama. Nicky was a xin zang ke doc but changed to fu chan ke after his gf gigi leung died in an accident. He worked in dragon city and was a volunteer of the life force. Leila acted as gigi's sister xiao qing..and wld have a luv triangle with raymond and min zhi.. Dun really like this luv triangle, xiao qing was too "considerate" to give up raymond just for friendship...kinda fake lah. Sonijia was a nurse who has a sick bro lah. Anyway she wld have a small luv triangle b/w nicky & lian kai (taiwanese actor). The plot actually moves well up till the part when raymond & sonijia found themselves having cancer. Hey why suddenly so many ppl kenna cancer ah? dont like this part lor...haha! Ending last epi was rather rush, so didnt really like it though it was a gd ending lah. As for the acting wise, i wld say the whole cast did a great job. Really like the scenes in africa, very realistic and amazing. As for the part in guangxi, the sceneries were damn nice. People who have watched "cha shi gu xiang nong" & "jiu shi gu xiang chun" shld find the place familiar lah. A must watch for all TVB fans, and the themesong by raymond was captivating!
[廉政行动2004 ICAC] TVB Actors: Anthony Wong, Shao Mei Qi, Julian Chueng, Alex Fong, Marco Ngai, Tang Wen Long, Chen Jian Feng, Yoyo Mung, Harwick Lau etc
Only 5 epis, 5 stories with a super grand cast. Actually tvb can expand it to a normal drama (at least 20 epis). The plots were fast and exciting. No dragging but no romance too. Hahhaha! Though i wouldnt say the drama was very action pack, it was still great lah. ICAC are not normal police force..they are actually those who catch ppl for corruption lah. So all of them wore suits etc..very pro lah! hahaha! Though i think the chance for channel u to show is very little, ppl u can catch it on vcds lah..not expensive anyway. haha!
