{pic} Oscar Leung and Fred Cheng

I'm so happy to see them together hehe.

{tvb} 星梦传奇 Voice of Stars Ep 5

Before episode 5 aired in Hong Kong, Oscar wrote Fred a supportive message on weibo. hehe I really love their friendship, so I was so happy when I saw this. Oscar also appeared in this week's episode of VOS, but I don't know for what reason...

The two new contestants this week are Bob Lam and Yao Bin (idk who they are). This week they only eliminated one person, and it was Aaryn Cheung. Ronald Law had the second lowest points, so I thought he was going to be out of the show for sure, but it didn't happen. (Anyways wow I didn't know he had a gf? hahaha) Everybody today was only in the 160 point range, but Fred got above 180! The audience was clapping and cheering for him very loudly, so looks like his popularity has skyrocketed. I'm so happy for him~ Anyways, I think next week is when some of the past contestants come back for another chance (I see Stanley Cheung in the previews) and Fred has a duet with Alfred Hui!! (one of my favorite HK singers LOL)

{tvb} 星夢傳奇 Voice of Stars Episode 3

Yay, another week has passed so that means another episode of VOS! This time, Hacken Lee is one of the guest judges~

Oscar gets to sing first (again), and he put on a pretty entertaining performance. His singing was only so-so, and I think it's cause he picked a faster song and danced at the same time. If he chose an easier song to sing, then he would probably get more points and sing a lot better. Poor Oscar had to go film Tiger Cubs 2 as well, so he probably shouldn't have danced so much since his waist was hurting. (Seeing Oscar and Him's interaction was cute though! And LOL I have a matching Boy London sweater...) I guess it was just a matter of time before he gets off the show, and this episode was it. :( I really hoped to see him interact more with Fred, but Oscar was busy filming TC2.

Wow, I never knew that Lily Ho could sing! She has a nice voice, and it's sorta obvious she's one of the better singers that auditioned (*ahem* Mandy, Benjamin, Stanley, Oscar...) I liked Ronald's performance too! If only he styled his hair better, haha. It's cute how when he was singing the song again with the judge, Amigo was mouthing the lyrics too. I always end up fangirling about Fred and praising him in these posts, so there's really no point in me writing the same things over and over again haha. But as usual, he gets the most points!

{tvb} 星夢傳奇 Voice of Stars Episode 2

Watch the second episode here.

The returning contestants

I know the judges didn't really like Oscar's performance, but I did. He was kind of nervous during his performance, because at functions where he performed live, his singing was better. Ronald was good, but I don't think his notes are powerful enough? Idk haha.

Fred's performance was great as usual. Here's the link to his cut. His part was so touching, and being a Fred fan I'm really happy that he got invited to be a guest at Eric Moo's concert. I'm always saying this, but TVB really should Fred more chances. He's a great singer and he's fluent in English, something that a lot of TVB's promoted artistes last. Hopefully they'll realize what a great asset Fred is to the company. My favorite part of the episode was after Fred was given his score and all the other contestants were congratulating him. Oscar says "I'm proud, of you man" and it was the sweetest thing. They're one of my favorite pairs of best friends at TVB, so it's nice to see their bromance.

It's interesting how Benjamin chose to sing a Mandarin song..he sang an English song last time. I wonder why he doesn't sing in Cantonese lol. I enjoyed his performance, but I guess his singing is just too average for the judges. I thought Stanley's performance was quite okay in the beginning, but it gradually got worse. The Aaryn kid is pretty talented, since he played they keyboard during his performance. (I wonder if Fred will play the guitar in a future performance...) Becky was amazing, but then again she was a vocal coach for ten years haha. The little screaming part at the end scared me though haha

It's not fun looking at the results, though, since there were already news articles about which contestants lost already. Benjamin and Stanley lost, and Fred and Becky ended up getting the two highest scores this episode.

{tvb} 星夢傳奇 Voice of Stars Episode 1

Finally after weeks of waiting, the first episode of 星夢傳奇 aired. I sort of skipped over the parts with people that I didn't really care for, and my Canto isn't that good so I didn't really understand the judges' criticisms. Anyways, the sole reason that I'm watching 星夢傳奇 is because of Fred and Oscar.

I really think that 星夢傳奇 is Fred's best chance at being noticed by TVB and the Hong Kong audience. Even though he joined TVB years ago, his roles are now reduced to pretty much kelefe parts. His indie band, HOME, doesn't get a lot of recognition either. However, judging by how well he did in the first episode and the preview for episode two, Fred just might become the favorite (and hopefully win). I really love his singing, so I hope Fred gets far in the competition.

I also like Oscar's singing, but imo it's not as good as Fred's. A few years back, I would have also complained about how Oscar got stuck with the delinquent, young guy roles, but after Tiger Cubs and L'Escargot, the audience seems to know him a lot better, and TVB has given him better roles. Oscar doesn't really need to compete in this since he's pretty popular now, but I do enjoy watching him support Fred. They've been friends for years, so hopefully they both do well in the competition together. It would be nice if they could have a special stage and sing a duet together, but that's probably not going to happen, haha.

{update} New Header!

After more than half a year, I finally got around to changing my header! This time it's featuring Oscar Leung. :) It's super simple since I'm too lazy to make anything else. hahaha I can't wait for The Voice 4 to come out so I can listen to Oscar sing some more (and of course Fred!!).

I'm currently watching A Change of Heart and Awfully Lawful. I'm too lazy to write my thoughts on this series in a normal post, though. ACOH is pretty boring and I find myself fast forwarding through scenes that don't have Siu Yiu (Bosco Wong) in it. To be honest, I'm not really liking Joey Meng's character, and I especially dislike Sze Ka (Mandy Wong). The audience is supposed to pity them (? well at least Sze Ka) but the only time I enjoy Sze Ka scenes are when they make fun of her. AL on the other hand is very entertaining. I especially love Elsa (Selena Li) and Solo (Roger Kwok). I really want to know what happened to Ming (Raymond Cho), so hopefully he comes back soon.

{update} Edits and Bullet Brain Thoughts

I made some edits from Oscar and Katy's old wedding pictorials, so I wanted to post them up.

Anyways, concerning Bullet Brain, I'm currently on episode 21. I honestly don't know why I am continuing to watch Bullet Brain even though the story went nowhere and I hate almost all of the characters. I guess I am hoping that Ping On would wake up and be his nice self and help Tai Hei. However, that is probably just wishful thinking. The one character that I honestly liked turned into a horrible person. I should have known from the point when Eva Kim became the center character that this series wouldn't live up to my expectations. I feel like Sire has more screentime than even Wayne himself. She's not a horrible actress, but the character sucks. The only scenes that I find okay now are Mui Mui's scenes, since they stopped having flashbacks of Ping On and Tai Hei. The sales presentation was so interesting, and I thought the real series would be like that too. I wish Bullet Brain focused on cases and not people going crazy/turning inhuman. They should have just made the series exactly like the sales presentation. There isn't a need for a female character like Tavia portrayed, but a mother figure like Louise Lee would have been nice. Anyways, my conclusion? Don't watch Bullet Brain. Just wait for a better series to be airing.

{tvb} A Great Way to Care 2: Episodes 10-15

These few episodes have gotten more interesting, and it's too bad it took almost half the series to get better. There's still an unnecessary focus on Jackson (Edwin), but at least his relationship with Scarlett (Christine Kuo) is getting somewhere and he's not just pining after her. Also, I find myself liking Jackson again, and only because of the scene where he yells "what the hell?!" at Jade (Aimee Chan) in episode 15.

The main case was revolved around the Father and three brothers of the orphanage that Ah Yan lived in. I was glad that Wong Sai Bong (Oscar Leung) was finally getting some more screentime, and he played an important part in the case. He also found out the truth about his twin brother, Man Jai, who lived in the orphanage with Ah Yan (Tavia Yeung).

The police suspected Father at first for killing three pedophiles, but it turns out that he was covering for someone. They thought it was Ah Wai, who was molested as a child, but he died before they arrested him.

To be honest, I think TVB made it too obvious who the real killer was. I figured it out when they gave their first hint, so I wasn't surprised when the police figured out who the murderer was. I feel sorry for Ah Yan, though, since she lost two (three if you count Man Jai) of her brothers in one go. There will be more of her background in the coming episodes, so I can't wait for her character to develop into a killer. It's too bad Yoyo and Alex don't get a lot of screentime...

{music} Det Dik & Oscar Leung on JSG

This video is sorta old, but I only found it recently. Det Dik and Oscar Leung sang some of Ekin Cheng's old songs. My favorite has to be their performance of 極速, since they're both so cute during it, especially Oscar! haha I've been having Oscar feels these past days for some unknown reason...I think it's mostly cause of his character in AGWTC2.

{tvb} Season of Love - Autumn

Easily the best story of the whole series. Although the characters are unlikable people, you can't help but pity them and hope they find happiness.

We first get a sense of how Chau Sang (Nancy Wu) was through a childhood episode. Her character was proud and unwilling to admit mistakes. To be honest, I did not like her character one bit. Although her actions were not terrible enough for her husband, Wai (Oscar Leung), to cheat on her, I did not exactly feel sorry for her.

Things got interesting when Chau Sang somehow got a second chance with love. Time reversed, and this time instead of going to dinner with Wai, she got into the elevator with Simon (Vincent Wong). Chau Sang still did not learn her lesson when she was with Simon. By this time, I was hoping that Chau Sang just ends up being lonely for the rest of her life.

However, she got her final (and third) chance with love. After a chance encounter, Chau Sang learned to think of others and became a good wife. This time, Wai was a bad guy who cheated on her, even though she did everything to please him. I admit, tears fell during the scene when Wai read Chau Sang's goodbye letter. However, three years later, Chau Sang did get the happy ending that she now deserved because everyone matured.

Also, here's this picture of Chu On tailing Wai because I think it's funny.

{tvb} Tiger Cubs Thoughts

I finally finished Tiger Cubs last night. :) I have to concur with everyone else that this is one of the best series of the year so far, even if I barely watched any this year. Most of the actors did well, with the notable exception of Christine Kuo. Although I can barely understand Cantonese, even I think her pronunciation was bad. Her English was no better, and the crying scene in episode 6 was too horrible to be even called acting. I'm quite upset that Wai Wai (Christine) and Ah Yuen (Oscar Leung) ended up together, and I just skip most of their scenes together.

The best part of the series to me was the brotherhood of the SDU team. It wasn't bromance, but pure brotherhood and loyalty. At the end where [spoiler] Ah Hin (Vincent) died, the flashbacks of Ah Hin and Ah Lai (Him Law) together were so heart touching [end spoiler]. However, one thing did bother me though. When the SDU members "found out" about how Wai Wai ditched Chin Sir (Joe Ma) for Ah Yuen, Ah Sing (Benjamin Yuen) went full on crazy. Sure, you are not supposed to steal your brother's girl, but he never listened to Ah Yuen's side of the story first. If they really were brothers like he claimed, he would listen to what Ah Yuen had to say instead of attacking his character.

I'm glad that romance was not a big feature of Tiger Cubs, because the relationships were not that well written. Chin Sir and Madam Chong (Jessica Hsuan) were kind of forced. I think they match more as friends, and it was weird how fast Chin Sir started liking Madam Chong. I'm sure you guys already know how much I dislike the fact that Wai Wai and Ah Yuen got together, so let's skip over that. The funny thing is that while Ah Keung (Mandy Wong) and Ah Lai made a cute couple, I thought Ah Keung had a crush on Chin Sir in the beginning.

As for my favorite case, I think it would either be the first one with the King of Thieves To Tin Yue (Kenneth Ma) or the third case when Ah Lai's father gets kidnapped. I have to say that the beginning cases were more interesting than the last ones. The last episode was a good wrap up, even if there were some questionable scenes. Like a lot of other people, I cried when Ah Hin died; although it was a noble death, it was sad nonetheless.

And of course, my favorite character is Ah Yuen. He's a great brother, friend, and colleague. The only character flaw that I think he has is his taste in girls. (Really, he could have any girl he wants and he picks Wai Wai...) I've always loved Oscar, and I'm glad that he got the role of Ah Yuen. His winks captured a lot of girls' hearts, and his popularity has gotten higher now. Hopefully he will get bigger roles from TVB now.
