2009 TVB Series (July- December)


Title: A Bride For a Ride
Episodes: 21
Main Stars: Chin Ka Lok, Louisa So, Sammul Chan, Nancy Wu
Recommendation: NO
Other Comments: This series is an ancient comedy. You wouldn't really miss anything if you didn't watch it. Sammul as a girl is kinda cute but I wish they didn't dub his female voice.

Title: You're Hired
Episodes: 20
Main Stars: Dayo Wong, Charmaine Sheh, Michael Tse
Recommendation: YES
Other Comments: The series is more like 2 different storylines: the first revolves more around Benz Hui while the second part showcases Michael Tse. Overall, I think it's very cute especially the scenes with Dayo and Charmaine.

Title: Burning Flame 3
Episodes: 31
Main Stars: Wong Hei, Kevin Cheng, Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu
Recommendation: YES
Other Comments: Wong Hei's charcter is super annoying in this series! I thought the whole series in general is really good though. There's a good balance between the action scenes and the storyline and you'll like it if you like dramatic storylines.

Title: D.I.E. Again
Episodes: 24
Main Stars: Roger Kwok, Sonija Kwok, Derek Kwok, Nancy Wu
Recommendation: YES
Other Comments: Watch it if you liked the original since it's basically a continuation. It is a little sillier though.


Title: The Stew of Life
Episodes: 30
Main Stars: Louisa Lee, Christine Ng, Fala Chen
Recommendation: NO
Other Comments: The storyline is a little boring and drags. I don't know why they made the series so long. I also do not get why they gave Fala such an ugly wig. Putting that on and glasses does not make someone automatically a nerd.

Title: In The Chamber of Bliss
Episodes: 20
Main Stars: Damian Lau, Kathy Chow, Kenneth Ma
Recommendation: NO
Other Comments: I was barely paying attention since it was soooooo slow. Unless you really love the main characters, I would skip this series because it is also very deppressing.

Title: Born Rich
Episodes: 41
Main Stars: Gallen Lo, Ray Lui, Kenix Kwok, Anita Yuen, Joe Ma, Jamie Chik
Recommendation: YES
Other Comments: I liked this series okay even though I liked some storylines more than others. I love Anita and Joe together and I would have never thought I would have. They should have replace Nancy Sit with a better dramatic actress though.

Title: Beyond the Realm of Conscience
Episodes: 33
Main Stars: Charmaine Sheh, Tavia Yeung, Moses Chan, Kevin Cheng, Susanna Kwan, Michelle Yim
Recommendation: YES
Other Comments: I really liked this series. I do wish that they focused on the females more because the storyline involving mainly the guys was not that interesting. If they showed more turmoil between the ladies, I think it could have been the next War & Beauty.


Title: A Chip Off the Old Block
Episodes: 21
Main Stars: Sunny Chan, Myolie Wu, Ron Ng
Recommendation: YES
Other Comments: It was a very cute series but they could have developed it a lot more, like how Ron having to adjust more to the past. I think the relationships are very sweet though. Some may also not like the ending but I really the whole series.
