{tvb} Rippling Blossom End Thoughts, Grace Under Fire Beginning Thoughts

The Rippling Blossom

Yeah, so I totally gave up on this series. I might rewatch it later on,  but there are no guarantees. I just got tired of it, so I only managed to watch episodes 1-12 and 20. (Hey, I had to know how it ended. XD) 

Basically, a lot of scenes are really boring and/or uninteresting. The only ones that I looked forward to were the ones with Tavia and Chilam, Tavia and Pierre, and Tavia and Ken. Myolie and Chilam scenes were okay, but I didn't really care to watch because the theme video spoiled their ending anyways.

Grace Under Fire

I didn't think that I would be starting this, but I was curious. Plus, I like martial arts series. lol And there's Fala, of course. There are actually a lot of supporting actors I like too. 

Anyways, I just started Episode 1 today. And it's okay, but there are two things that I don't like. For some weird reason, Liu Xuan's face is annoying, and I really hate Kenneth's hair. And it seems he's not the only one, because Dominic's hair looks pretty funny as well, plus Kenny's fake white hair looks stupid. The dubbing for Liu Xuan isn't that bad; the voice fits her and she was speaking Canto while filming so the words match her lip movements. I'm looking forward to the Bosco scenes because his character seems interesting. Kenneth's on the other hand, while he might be okay in a drama, he would probably have no friends in real life.

{TVB} 究竟海有幾深 Lyrics & Eps 7-9 of The Rippling Blossom

究竟海有幾深

電視劇【魚躍在花見】主題曲

主唱：張智霖

作曲：周永恆

填詞：張美賢

歌詞

天要說話讓清風再吹　

夢要堅持　我總不後退

天闊宇宙　日出的暖光　折射心裏

心要跳動　就飛奔去追

覓到心靈　最相通伴侶

只要對住　什麼都覺得　有樂趣

究竟水裏邊　有幾深與淺

究竟心裏邊　有幾多理想　不改變

愛得起這天　記得起昨天

再可肩併肩　世間中探險

感覺像　第一天　又初見

總會碰著暴風加雨水

但我堅持　永不倒下去

天要塌下　就將這被窩　蓋住心碎

總有未完　夢想可以追

讓我單純　投入在生活裏

歡笑眼淚　未改寫信心　愛下去

I love this song. :D It's been such a long time since I heard a TVB theme from Chilam. haha I've been playing it on repeat for a few days now. And darn, the MV got removed from YT. :(

Episode Thoughts

Episode 7 didn't really have anything interesting going on (imo), except I really like the Commoner's Handbook. lol So cute. :)

Episode 8: 

-Yay for Ying Jai and Sze Lung scene!

-Why can't Chi Hui just look happy when he gets points during the competition? Geez, is he so cocky and full of himself? 

-Why does that one man get to eat the food by himself? That's mean and unfair to the other people sitting next to him.

-Myolie did well in the graveyard scene, but where the heck did she get those flowers??

As for episode 9, I left it playing in the background while I was reading manga so I really have no idea what the heck went on. lol All I saw was the ending when Chi Hiu's hand got hurt.

PS: I want more Ken scenes! 

{TVB} The Rippling Blossom Ep. 6 Thoughts

Yeah, so I got too behind on Rippling and so I just skipped eps 3-5... I hope nothing important happened. haha 

Chilam and Tavia ♥

Thoughts:

Oh Ying Jai... If I were you I would push your older brother into the sea/ocean. Then skip in the lovely green meadows with the girl that I love. But then again that would be murder (or attempted murder if Chi Hiu was a good swimmer).

But really? After that cute fantasy scene and the funny awkward moment between the two brothers, it comes to this? And of course TVB had to have the evil person sit in a black car, unnoticed, laughing at the sufferings of the protagonists.

Also, I don't know if I missed something in the episodes that I skipped, but what is wrong with Tavia's character? How can she not see how awesome Ying Jai is??? Especially how he's so nice to everyone, even Yue Chi Po. Blargh. I wonder if he can somehow work the bro code into this situation.

One question though: Why does their dad look so young in the picture on his tombstone? I mean, no offense or anything but he looks younger than his first wife. o_O

{TVB} The Rippling Blossom Initial Thoughts

So I watched the first episode of The Rippling Blossom last night, and I have to admit it was better than I expected. Of course, Chilam was a big part of why I liked it. haha The comedic scenes with Chilam, Myolie, and Damien were funny and very cute. Tavia didn't have that many scenes, but that's okay, cause later her scenes will probably be mostly with Michael anyways. Now I have to admit, Michael's character is funny in a way because he looks serious and  p.offed at everyone.  But his seriousness complements Chilam's goofiness perfectly and it makes Chilam even cuter. ;)

Anyways here are some videos to share with you guys! Behind the scenes when they were celebrating Myolie's birthday. :) The second one is the cutest...they are all such little kids! And it actually made me kind of like Michael better now. haha One of the best parts was how Damien was calmly walking by Tavia and Chilam with his camera while they were fighting. XD

{TVB} To Watch or Not to Watch?

>.> Reading Hamlet has gotten to me. haha But seriously though, I have no idea what to watch anymore. The past few TVB series all seemed pretty boring to me imo, and the last series I watched from start to finish was The Mysteries of Love. And the only reason I finished it was cause of FungYi, if it was another couple I wouldn't have even started it (esp. cause of disgusting Lo Sir, but that's another story).

7 Days In Life, Airs Jan. 24th

Actually looking at the poster, there are a lot of appealing factors. Steven, Koni, Yuen Wah, actually pretty much everybody on there except maybe Patrick. haha I think the only reason I really don't want to start it cause it begins airing the week of my finals. Plus when I looked at the pictures on the TVB website, it looks like the ending will have some lame dancing scene just like how Devil's Disciples ended...and that was a really bad ending.

The Rippling Blossom, Airs Feb. 7

This picture has 2/3 reasons why I would watch it: Tavia and Chilam. The other reason is Ken Hung...haha The supporting characters (like Pierre) and Myolie are all quite okay, but I'm not a huge fan of them. One thing is though, the storyline seems dull. And of course, there's Michael Tse. I used to like him in VOH, but after all that Laughing Gor stuff, he seemed way too cocky and unlikeable. In manga, being cocky works, but in real life, not so much. So...I don't know if I should even watch the first episode or if I should wait for Tavia, Chilam, and hopefully Ken cuts. Hopefully someone else will watch it? And then you guys can tell me if it's worth trying. haha
