    Farewell HKTV Dramas, thanks for the memories (Part 2 – Reviews)

    Since I’m trying to write some short reviews of all the dramas I watched in 2015, I thought I’d compile all the HKTV ones in this post! (Oh and I did say in Part 1 that I was going to do that LOL.)   Compared to previous years, I watched a lot more HK dramas…

    Farewell HKTV Dramas, thanks for the memories (Part 1)

    Last week, HKTV’s last to air drama Paranormal Mind (開腦儆探) aired its final episode. With production halted indefinitely due to the high costs and lack of a free-to-air licence, most of their contracted actors and crew have now moved onto other endeavours. It’s really sad to see a group of passionate people end up like…

    [Review] Doom +5: What if the world is ending in 14 hrs?

    Overview: Did I just give away the ending? But seriously, as a drama based on an ‘end of the world’ premise, Doom+5 had a mountain to climb. It sure is a depressing subject matter. However, the 5 standalone stories were thoughtful, engaging with solid acting. I did get an uneasy feeling at the end of…

    Love in Time / Still have time to love you Episode 1 Recap

    I know, I know. In my last post I had a growing list of posts I was planning on but for the past 2 weeks, I had been rather addicted to a Hong Kong drama Love in Time aka Still have time to love you (還來得及再愛你). I mentioned it very briefly in my post about…

    Time Roamer: An interview with Gregory Wong

    Just in my last post on HKTV’s The Election, I mentioned my favourite character right now in that series is Cheung Kwai Lung, portrayed by Gregory Wong 王宗堯. I’m very happy to see him back on the TV screen because back in 2008, he filmed Who’s The Hero (勝者為王) with a pretty decent cast including…

    The Election Episodes 1 to 4 thoughts

    After all the initial excitement of HKTV’s launch, it’s time to dust off the hype and actually view it for what it is. Does The Election live up to the hype? If you read the comments on JayneStars (which I tend to avoid most of the time), the reactions are mixed. On the one side,…

    HKTV is finally coming on November 19!

    With everything that is happening in Hong Kong right now, HKTV finally launching is definitely great news. As a bit of background, the free-to-air TV market in Hong Kong is pretty much a monopoly (TVB). In recent years, the other channel (ATV) which had some decent programming in the past (like the 90s) doesn’t even…
