{update} some stuff about THC2 & WP

I started The Hippocratic Crush 2, and so far it's not so bad. Episodes 1-3 were okay, but 4 and 5 got better. I still don't like how there are so many characters in it now, but it's alright. As long as they focus on Fish Head a lot then it'll be okay. Anyways even though Onion's look doesn't really suit Him, he's still so cute. T-T So I made a banner with him on it lol. I'll probably change it sooner or later, either for a different THC2 thing or for Raymond's birthday which is coming up (in like a month). 

Will Power is still a good watch. I finished watching episode twenty the other day, and I was thinking how it was wrapped up all nicely but then I realized it had 32 episodes lol. I completely forgot about Sire and Jason...It seems Gilbert rapes Nana, and I'm pretty sure what's left after that is the Sung family finds out that Ka Ming is related to them. :/ 

{tvb} Triumph in the Skies 2 Edits

I'll be writing up my thoughts on episodes 1-20 tomorrow, but for now here are some edits I made from caps in the series so far.

 

{tvb} Season of Love - Spring

I started watching Seasons of Love as a filler series. Since it was a romance drama, I could just watch it without having to think a lot, haha. Well, the spring storyline was your normal hate turns to love relationship. It was too predictable throughout the series, and my favorite scenes ended up being the Kenneth Ma cameos, lol.

Him Law as Season: To be honest, I mostly him for superficial reasons. He's just the regular cocky yet filial guy that the main girl always ends up falling for. He's a good guy, though, but I didn't love Season BB. He was certainly hot in the working out scenes, and handsome in all of his scenes. I liked his scenes with Kenneth the most, though.

Toby Leung as Chun Fung: I pitied her for most of the story, but that's to the extent of my feelings toward her character. She's a good sister, and a good person. There's not really much to say about the typical tom boy character TVB writes.

Other thoughts: Yay for some Nathan Ngai eyecandy scenes, lol. I thought that they would have elaborated more on his feelings for Fung's younger sister, but I guess TVB didn't care about his character enough.

Spring wasn't to my taste, and I read that Summer was pretty boring. Oh well, I'm just waiting for Kenneth's story to unfold anyways, so hopefully I won't get too bored watching Ron and Kate.

{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.
