Cold Blood Part 2

His name is cold blood, but deep down inside he has a warm heart.



The Dog vs. Ron
Ron saved a dog, helping the dog heal, that shows Ron's warm emotions, he still cares about the living things around him. However, when his aunt died, Ron also killed the dog, because the dog was too old. This also shows Ron's cold-blooded emotions about the living things around him...



Working with Sammul
Ron has the best chemistry with Sammul in this series. They always work together to solve the cases. The first time they work together is the village case, this is also the first time Ron began to learn to become a partner.



True Identity
Ron discovered his true identity in the village, he found out he has an aunt. We learned Ron's past, his childhood, and why he grew up with the wolves.



Tears
Ron's aunt's death made Ron cry, this was the first time he felt he has a relative, but his relative died too soon. Cold Blood is not cold blooded after all...



"The safest time is when your enemy die before you, this is why I can survive until now."
It hurts me when I see Ron's scars, he has a mysteries past, and he hides his emotions very well.
Not only he is not afraid of being hurt, he also hides his feelings towards his girl. As the audiences, we only see Ron's cold-blooded emotions, but deep down inside, he has a warm heart...



Twin of Brothers
Ron and Raymond don't have many scenes together in this series, which was a pity. I missed their chemistry in "Twin of Brothers". In this series, the only time Ron and Raymond worked closely together was when they were trapped in an island. Raymond lost his wheelchair, Ron carried him almost everywhere... This shows how much Ron cares about his partners.



Four as One
The first time you can see all four constables willing to sacrifice themselves to help each other was when Selena Li was in trouble. Kenneth gave up his constable position to help Selena, and then you see Sammul, Raymond and Ron also gave up everything to help Kenneth...



The Leaves
This is my favorite scene in the entire series, the four constables got punished to do housework, finally they had time to relax, so they all sit in the green grass. The wind was blowing, the leaves were falling down from the trees. Sammul, Kenneth and Raymond began to blow leaves to each other, and then the leaves flew to Ron. Ron blew it too! This scene was really cute ;-)



"Thank you!"
The first time Ron said than you was in episode 14, when Sammul's mom treat the constables some noodles. This is when Ron finally felt the importance of family, and he began to appreciate and accept everything.

Cold Blood Part 1

A cold blood assassin with the killer's eyes, who never fears and never feels anything around him. He speaks very little words, and displays cold emotions. He is Ron Ng, the Cold Blood in "The Four".



First Scene (Episode 3) - THE murderous look
The first time Ron appears, he was on the rock, you first saw his scars, and then his murderous look, which makes the whole scene "deadly": he raises his sword, flew down, killed a guy within seconds, and ran away. "What a quick sword!" That is our first impression on him.



First Word
When Sammul chases Ron, Ron hides in the mountain. Sammul began to be afraid, Ron flew down, takes out his sword, and said, "don't chase me again!"



"Wild Man"
Ron's hair was messy, but his sword was quicker than Sammul's legs, he was fierce. Dominic uses his weapon to hurt Ron, but Ron didn't stop. Is he human? Or is he just purely wild? At this moment, we know that he fears nothing, not even his own life.



A Saver
A chance allowed him met his girl, he saved her life even though he was hurt really badly.



One Against Three
Ron, "give me the seal!"
Raymond, "no way!"
Ron, "don't force me to kill!"
Kenneth, "one against three, you are the one needs to be worried."
Raymond, "against this kind of person, I can do it myself!"
Ron, "then all three of you will die!"
Then, there is the fight, perhaps the best scene in the whole series. Of course, Ron can not fight against all three, he was hurt really badly, and he was trapped inside. Later, when Dominic went back to find him, Ron was already gone, he has this basic survivor instinct, which allowed him to escape from a deadly scene.



"He is a good man!"
Ron escaped, his girl was there, waiting for him. Then, Dominic found him, and wanted to kill him, Dominic said, "this animal kills without opening his eyes. I need to kill him today!" Ron's girl protected Ron, and told Dominic that, "he is a good man!" Of course, Dominic did not kill Ron because of a jade. But, the series never explained why...



The Fourth Constable
Four different personalities, four different styles. Are they willing to work together? Of course, it will create conflict, especially for Raymond. But Dominic trust everyone has their abilities to prove themselves...

Last One Standing - The Wolf in Sheep's Skin

Tvbsquare's Best Scene Collection:

Last One Standing
Episode 13 - The Wolf in Sheep's Skin
Featuring: Roger Kwok vs. the Grandma

Background: There is a Chinese saying, "披着羊皮的狼" (The Wolf in Sheep's Skin), describing a man who looks very honest, but deep down inside, he is the villain, he is just pretending to be an innocent person.

Previously: Roger's father was very ill, and Roger refused to use his money to help his father because he says he doesn't have enough money. Roger asked his mom to pay for the hospital expense. Roger's Grandma warned everyone that Roger is just trying to get the father's money.

The scenes:



(1) At the hospital, Roger is staying with his father, watching him. Roger's Grandma worries that Roger might do something to harm his father, so she was watching Roger, however, the nurse forced Grandma to leave. When Grandma left, Roger said, "dead old woman!"



(2) At home, after Roger's father's death, everyone was so sad. Grandma was blaming Roger for his father's death. She was saying that Roger only wants to get the father's money, and he is the one responsible for everything. Roger started to yell back, he pretends to be very innocent, and he said he just used one million dollars to help Yoyo's sister, and he doesn't have enough money to help his father. Roger was crying, and everyone in the room asks Grandma not to say anymore. However, Grandma still doesn't believe in Roger a bit.



This was actually the first time Roger yelled back at the Grandma, did he do that for a purpose? Did he killed his father? Was he really sad about his father's death? It is hard to read Roger's mind at this point, however we all know Roger will do something harmful to his Grandma after this incident.

TVB & Subaru

If you haven't noticed already, TVB is heavily promoting Subaru Legacy cars. In almost every series, you can see the actors or the actress driving a Subaru. In the latest series, "Last One Standing", Subaru Legacy also happened to be Roger Kwok's car.



I was so excited to see TVB promoting Subaru cars, because I also drive one! My car is the Subaru Outback, it is an awesome car. Anyways, here is just a random thing that links TVB and me...

Last One Standing - Transformation

I am starting to collect the best scenes in TVB series, and I thought it will be great to start from "Last One Standing", because it is a pleasure to see two TV Kings fighting against each other...

Episode 8: Kevin Cheng - Transformation

Previously: Kevin is struggled with his emotions when he found out his best friend Roger is a cold-blood villain. He is also very mad when he knows Yoyo is in love with Roger.

The Scenes:



(1) At home, Kevin was drunk, and began an argument with his mother. Kevin did not admit he was wrong, and he almost tell his mother all the truth, but Kevin's sister stopped him. After that argument, Kevin felt very lost, and he began to wonder his true value.



(2) At a shop, Kevin saw a magician, the magician was saying, "Magic is used to lie to people. If people trusted your lies, you are successful." This helped Kevin realized what he needs to do next, he needs to lie to Roger and earn his trust, this is the only way to dig out Roger's secrets.





(3) At the building, Kevin was trying to suicide (of course, he is faking), all the sudden, he hugged Roger and told him how much he appreciate Roger's help, and he is willing to do anything to pay Roger back.



(4) At home, Kevin is taking shower, and shaving, he talks to himself in the mirror, "Roger can lie to the whole world, I can also lie to you (Roger)."



5) At the grave yard, Kevin's mother hurt her leg, Kevin carries his mother to his step-father's grave. Kevin apologized to his mother, and promised he will become a good son. Then, Kevin paid his respect to his step-father, from that point on, Kevin becomes a magician, who will try to make everyone believe his lies...

Favorite Characters

Most favorite Male Character: Raymond Lam - Moonlight Resonance

Raymond may not win the best actor (in my prediction), but I am sure that he will win this category. His character wins everyone's heart in this series, and I am sure he wins all the audiences' heart as well. I don't think there is any problem for him to win this category, so my prediction also goes to Raymond...



Most Favorite Female Character: Louise Lee Si Kei - Moonlight Resonance

Basically, there is no competition in this category, if everything goes normal, "Hor Ma" should win this one easily.

"No problem, Hor Ma is in the house!"

The Best of the Rest

Best Supporting Actor: Wayne Lai - The Gentle Crackdown 2
I really don't like "The Gentle Crackdown 2" as the series, however, Wayne is the only character that shines the entire show. Two years ago, Wayne should be the one winning this category for "Safe Guards", now, I really think it is his turn. Plus, TVB is giving Wayne lots of love-able characters lately, and his popularity is growing and growing.

Prediction: This category belongs to either Wayne Lai or Johnson Lee in "Catch Me Now", however, I think Johnson Lee will most likely to win the "Most Improved" category, it will be strange for Johnson to win two categories. So, I think Wayne has a great chance of winning this one. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Best Supporting Actress: Tavia Yeung - Moonlight Resonance
Tavia is one of my favorite character in Moonlight Resonance, she did an outstanding job in that series. I really love the way she argues and the way she cries... I am little surprised that she belongs to the "supporting cast" category, I thought her character is one of the main character. Oh well, this category also helps her stand out, which gives her more chance of winning.

However, there is one competition that we could not forget, that is the Grandma Lee Heung Kam. Lee Heung Kam is the legend, everyone respects her. She also did so well in Moonlight Resonance, so my prediction actually goes to Lee Heung Kam.

41st TVB Anniversary - Best Actor and Actress

The complete nominations for 41st TVB Anniversary are up:
http://entertainment.tvb.com/anniversary2008/award/voting/index.html

I will like to share my favorites and my predictions. You might not find them match, favorites may not be the most popular ones...


Best Actor
My Favorite: Ha Yu - Moonlight Resonance
For some reason, I really want him to win this one. Even though, I like Raymond Lam a little more in this series. Ha Yu gave me a lot of surprises in this series, especially the way he cries...


Prediction: Ha Yu - Moonlight Resonance
Ha, I have a good feeling that he will win this one. I don't know... Raymond is just a little bit too young to win an award. Maybe next time for Ray...

Best Actress
My Favorite: Michelle Yim - Moonlight Resonance
Compare to Heart of Greed, Michelle Yim is 100% different, that proves how well she can act, she can be so nice in one series, and turns purely evil in another. What a transition! I truly admires her. She is perfect for the villain role.

Prediction: Lee Si Kei - Moonlight Resonance
I have hard time to predict this one. I believe Lee Si Kei will win it again, because she did it before. However, I prefer Michelle to win this time.
