ATV Series: Yi Wu Fan Gu

Currently, I am watching 義無反顧 (Yi Wu Fan Gu), it is an ATV series, produced in 2006, it was ATV's grand production last year. Yesterday, I watched 10 episodes of this series, and it turned out to be a great pleasure...



Storyline: This is like a combination of Secret of the Heart and Files of Justice. It focus on greed, family relationship, friendship, love relationship, and justice. How is justice balanced in everyone's heart? Does justice exist? If so, why do the villains continue to hurt people? Does morality exist? If so, why the innocent people continue to get hurt?



Cast: Patrick Tam and Amy Kwok, who are long time TVB stars, I like both of them very much. In this series, I especially like Amy's performances. Hawick Lau, who just signed the contract with ATV, I can tell you, he is playing the villain this time, and he will make every single person suffer. Also, Patricia Liu, I am a big fan of her, she signed with ATV last year. It seems like all the great actors go to ATV...

Thumbs down: There is on thing I don't like about ATV series, it tells you the ending at the beginning! In this series, there are no differences, in the first episode, it tells you who is the villain, who the villain killed, and how the villain killed them! This can easily make the audiences give up on the series in the very first episode, because we all know the ending!

Thumbs up: This is a VERY INTERESTING series! The first episode is slow, but it begins to grab my attention as I begin to learn the complicated relationships between the casts. From the second episode and on, everything just start to make sense to me. Each main character has a very interesting background, and their relationships build up logically. Because of this, the audiences can relate to the characters easily. Plus, all the court scenes are 100 times more exciting than the TVB court scenes. I think the overall script is 100 times better than the current TVB scripts..

TVBsquare 2006 Recap #2

TVB Square presents 2006 Recap

Part Two: The Unexpected
The Unexpected Good Series: Safe Guards. I didn't expect anything from this series at the beginning, mainly because of Elaine Yiu. Then, Steven and Wayne's powerful performances shines throughout the entire series, and that series becomes my favorite 2006 series.

The Unexpected Great Character: Power Chan - Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion. I wasn't a big fan of Power until I finished watching LWOLAP. Power builds great chemistry with almost everyone. Power is also a great actor, who can be serious, mean, evil, kind, and funny at times.

The Unexpected Hate Character: Christine Ng - CIB Files. Before I watched CIB, I felt really good about this series, the previews and the casts attracted me. However, the series was a disappointment, about 90% of the time, the series is about two women fighting with each other at work, and the main person we need to blame is Christine Ng. Her character was so unreasonable.

The Unexpected Not-Good Series: To Grow with Love. Other than The Biter Bitten, this is the worst modern series of 2006, I am really sorry about Myolie. Her effort in acting and supporting this series may not get any good returns.

The Unexpected TVB Moment: Kevin Cheng winning the Best Actor Award. I am not sure who else deserves this award, but I also think Kevin is not the best actor this year.

The Unexpected TVBsquare Moment: I got a warning letter from TVB... err.. I still felt bad about it, because of the letter, I changed name to TVfansquare, I also changed the entire layout. I changed all TVB posters to fan creations.. what else does TVB want from me? Leave me alone! I am just a fan....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 2007 is finally here! I want to wish everyone a happy new year, don't forget to list out your new year resolutions, and see if you can make it throughout the year ;-)

My new year resolutions are:
1. Gain some weight, I am way too skinny, that's not so good.
2. Bicycling, I need to take time and bike more often.
3. Watch lesser TVB series, can't watch all 2007 series. I will have to be selective.

Speaking of TVB series, my most wanted watchlist of 2007 include:
The Drive of Life - the only problem is, the series might be too long, I am afraid it will drag. Other than that, this should be my most wanted series of the year.
Heart of Greed - the only preview for this series was in the 2007 sales presentation, and the plot is really interesting. This should be a great series to watch.
On the First Beat - I am not a big fan of The Academy, but I am a huge fan of Ron, that means, I can't miss this series.
The Brink of Law - Two of my favorite actor, Steven and Ron are both in this series, there is no way I will miss it.
The Master of Tai Chi - I have been waiting and waiting, it's almost a year now, this series got to release soon!
