Raymond Wong (from TVB Weekly 636)

Here is a scan of Raymond Wong in the Linda/Wong-Hei series- Crossing the Boundary of Exploration. It is rumored that Raymond will soon be taking up bigger roles since he might be playing the other male lead along with Kent Cheng in an upcoming series. I hope this is true because this guy is very talented and I want TVB to cherish him, especially since they are lacking in the male lead department.

From TVB Issue 632

I think that once Off Pedder is finished, you'll be seeing a lot more of her in other TVB series. She still needs improvement in her enunciation and acting but I do see potential in her.

Nancy looks so pretty here!

Marriages Revealed

Wow, I didn't realize that so many Hong Kong stars hide their marriages and relationships. To be honest, I don't think it should affect their image as much anymore as it did even 10 years ago. A lot of people seem to enjoy pairings (for me, I really want Bosco and Myolie together in real life) and I think their fans would be happy for them. Here are a few recent relationships I found out about.

1. Miriam Yeung and Real Ting (married in Las Vegas)
2. Leon Lai and Gaile Lok (married a year and a half ago)
3. Andy Lau and Carol Zhu (rumored for 20 years but only recently had a picture of them holding hands; they are now married and she is most likely pregnant)
4. Jade Kwan will get married soon
5. Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong (still rumored to be together after going on vacation together along with a group of friends)
5. Vincent Wong and Yoyo Chen (tabloid pictures of them kissing by the pool; now rumored to be living together)

Those are just a few of them but there are a lot of TVB actors that are rumored together that I hope is true. I want them to find happiness and it's hard to find someone that would understand their lifestyle so I think 2 actors would work well together.

Michael Tse (info)

If you're watching "You're Hired" and wondering when Michael Tse appears, he finally shows up on episode 11! It's only 22 episodes long so I was kinda surprised that he only appears in half the series. Perhaps it's because he became that much more popular now, they are using him to promote the series. So far, the whole storyline is pretty cute and it's a good series so hopefully the rest does not disappoint.

In other news, Michael Tse is joining the upcoming series with Chilam, Tavia, and Myolie! You guys have no idea how excited I am about this cast so far, especially since these are some of my favorites. Filming will start in October.

Also, I know that this is sort of old news but the Laughing Gor movie is now out and I'm still excited to watch it. I'm trying to avoid all other news of this since I hate spoilers but it's probably going to be a short while before they release this to the U.S.

有意 Kevin Cheng & Myolie Wu

This song actually had to grow on me because when I first heard it, I just thought it was okay. However, when you watch Burning Flames 3 and hear this song used throughout the series, it makes a lot of sense and I slowly began to fall in love with it. Go Kevolie!

Myolie MV- Love Delusion

This is Myolie's video for 戀愛妄想. Here are the 2 versions. The first one is TVB's version and the bottom is Neway's official version, which I like better. Which one do you like more?

I'm Back!

I haven't blogged in what feels like forever! I've been busy with work, but now I'm excited to go back to posting in a somewhat more regular basis. Here's a small preview of what I'm going to be posting soon:

• Some TVB Magazine scans (these might be old since I have 6 issues that I haven't even looked at yet)
• Quick thoughts on A Bride For A Ride and other series that I might have missed
• Thoughts on Burning Flames 3 so far
• Raymond Lam Concert DVD

Burning Flames 3

I've watched the first 2 episodes so far and no Myolie yet but here are some quick thoughts:

• For TVB, they have some pretty good effects. It makes it more exciting, at least for me.
• So far it seems like it really is 3 main male leads: Wong Hei, Kevin, and Bosco. However, it seems to me that Bosco is the main guy so far since he is the link between everything.
  
• I like Bosco in this series because I like his hair (haha) and I like him more when he's in more when he plays a good guy.
• Wong Hei plays the typical "Wong-Hei" role in that he plays a very cool guy who during certain scenes talks really fast when he wants to make a point. This isn't a bad thing though.
  
• Kevin looks really cute here- he ages really well, meaning that it seems like he never ages!
• Wow, the ratings for the first episode was 36 points with 38 at its peak? I never even knew that there was that much interest in this series since it didn't seem as heavily promoted.
• I do like the series so far because it seems like a good start to set up the rest of the series.
• My only problem with it so far (other than anticipating Myolie to show up) is that when they do flashbacks, they keep showing dates and when it comes pack to the present, it flashed the current date as if we wouldn't figure it out.
• Hopefully the rest of the series lives up.
  

A Great Way To Care (Short Review)

*Spoilers so beware...

I just finished watching A Great Way to Care and it's not as bad as the other Marco Law produced series- Building Blocks of Life. That said, the series was just okay. Basically, Alex Fong plays a psychiatrist and Kate Tsui plays a cop and the story revolves around small cases that delve into the mind and psychology. In between all of this Alex and Kate start liking each other and become a couple but there's nothing that interesting about this pairing. *Major spoiler alert on the ending: They break up in one of the last episodes and so there is supposed to be a little awkward silence and so one of them asks if all they have to talk about is the different cases. Skip to the very ending and they are together and you know what they're talking about? Yup, another case. Uhh? What?

Kate's acting has improved in this series and even though she's the main female lead, the story revolves around Alex Fong. I think this is Kate's best look- with these cool boots and she looks really pretty in this series. I think she's better playing characters who are tough because she does make a pretty believable cop (even though I'm sure that most of them do not look like a Miss HK. haha).


The best and only good part I like about this series is Raymond Wong and Vivien Yeo. Okay, so I usually don't like it when people overact, but Vivien does in this series and kinda overacts her "cuteness" but it fits the character she plays. To me, she's very lovable and this is the first time I've liked her in a series. Once again, Raymond Wong steals the spotlight in this series even though he is just a supporting character. Raymond plays a somewhat geeky nurse who meets Vivien when she is overweight and depressed and he takes her in his care and help her get better. It's all very sweet and innocent- too bad they didn't give them more screentime because the series would have been a lot better with it. I think the best part of their pairing is that Raymond would have loved her no matter what she looked like and did see the beauty inside her. I hate other TVB series where someone transforms from an ugly duckling to a swan and that's the point when someone falls in love with them, and makes it seem like it is all about the looks.

Would I recommend this series? I say yes to fans of the leads or Raymond Wong. However for people who are more picky in watching their series I would tell them to wait for something else. If you do decide to watch it, just make sure that you do not watch Threshold of a Persona at the same time! I did, and since most of the supporting actors are the same, I was getting confused about the characters!
