I generally like this series but I think the main reason why is the chemistry between Kenneth Ma and Ella Koon, the other parts of the series are either Ok or kind of boring. The cast is generally Ok but there lacks the huge star power to lift this series up. Sammul Chan is a good actor on the whole but I'm not interested in his character. Kenneth Ma I think is the guy that holds the series together really because his character is more engaging. I like Selena and Ella, Selena is really developing whilst Ella is an ok actor. What I really want is Selena to have a breakthrough role as in Survivor's Law and in Tai Chi her role just doesn't shine compared to others who are supporting characters. However Selena will be the leading ladies of the future once the 30 somethings ascend to Sheren-esque characters. On the whole this series is overall a pleasant series with a generally a well liked cast (by me) but what it lacks is the star quality and the script as when I'm watching it what I say in my head is - when will the Kenneth and Ella scenes come.
As I've missed blogging this series I've decided to put a relationships part:
Waise Lee and Rebecca Chan (Brandon and Brenda):
I remember Waise acting since "Mind our Own Business" but unknown to me was that Waise has a long line of films to his name. However I think this is actually his worse series, though this isn't by any means a negative manner. I think his acting before has been interesting and engaging but this time his character is slightly under expectation, Waise also doesn't perform it to the best of his abilities I think. Anyway I like the relationship Waise and Rebecca has it is a sweet back theme to the main leads and I think they work well together.
Sammul Chan and Selena Li (Vincent and Choi Yuk):
I can't really say much on their relationship because I haven't actually seen much of them as most of the time when I see the series it is mainly Ella and Kenneth anyway I like what happened in their relationship today with the e-mails thing. I think they have an interesting chemistry but I need to see more on it.
Queenie Chu and Kwok Fung (Noel and Bak To):
Hmmm I'm slightly shocked that TVB has done this but it's better that Queenie gets exposure as she needs it as she has lost some years with the Joey Leung thing. Anyway I'm happy that Queenie is finally acting again as I like her but the relationship is definitely lacking as I think TVB wouldn't dare emphasize on this relationship as it will probably cause a ratings crisis.
Ella Koon and Kenneth Ma (MK and Lily):
The thing is Ella doesn't seem to have any other looks that she could make with her face so I don't know about her acting yet but I love Ella and Kenneth's chemistry and scenes. Overall great chemistry even though their acting isn't excellent.
June Chan and Power Chan (Lai Na and Man Kam):
Like their relationship mainly because I like them anyway, I love Power Chan's character and I like June anyway (remember her in War and Beauty).
