Line Walker Episodes 16 to 20 thoughts
One step forward, two steps back. That’s kinda what I felt after the fourth week. It wasn’t bad per se, not much happened in episodes 16 and 17 but I guess we have to take a breather after the action packed previous week. The main issue is we now have several impending developments that I’m…

Line Walker Episodes 11 to 15 thoughts
EXCITEMENT!!!! If I was a bit apprehensive about Line Walker being ‘just another TVB series featuring cops, undercover cops, dirty cops, triads’, then the third week completely blew my expectations out of the water. It is fast paced, no draggy plots and keeps you on your toes. Of course it’s not perfect, but if it…

Line Walker Episodes 6 to 10 thoughts
How about we start with a game? This was the question posed to the audience (HK residents can use the TVBfun app to send in their answers) So the question is – Help Cheuk Sir to find the five undercovers! 1. Bau Seed (Raymond Lam) – Confirmed to be an undercover. But I…

Line Walker Episodes 1 to 5 thoughts
I think I’m starting to learn that if I keep expectations low, I’ll enjoy a series more. Line Walker started last week and even though there wasn’t a really explosive first episode, the rest of the week provided some excitement and a ‘hook’ for the audience to continue watching – provided that you don’t mind…

Ruse of Engagement Episodes 1 to 10 thoughts
(I’m a bit behind on this series and I know I won’t be able to catch up until next month. So I don’t want to see any SPOILERS please!!!! Although I think I saw one just by doing a simple Google search. WTH!) In the last couple of years I haven’t watched that many…

Rock N’ Road Episodes 1 to 3 thoughts
My drama-viewing rut of sorts came to an end recently. I wouldn’t say an abrupt end, but I feel more motivated to keep up with a couple of dramas and actually feel some emotions toward a drama! Wheeee. I feels like it’s been a while since I’ve fangirled over a drama lead and thanks to…

PMAM Episodes 1 to 10 thoughts
Taiwan has always given me the impression that it’s a rather conservative country. I’m not from Taiwan so this impression is just formed by watching their TV shows and a few visits. However, despite the talks of tradition, Confucius teachings and whatnot, like other parts of Asia there’s also plenty of scantily claded females on the covers of…

A Good Wife (up to episode 11) – Does love conquer all?
Taiwanese drama A Good Wife (親愛的，我愛上別人了 / literal transation: Dear, I’ve fallen in love with someone else) had crept up on me quite unexpectedly. I followed the first four episodes live and then put it on hold to watch Dragon Gate / continue Just You. Big mistake that was since A Good Wife is miles…

The Pursuit of Happiness Episodes 2-13 (END) thoughts
Short version – Sonia Sui and Tony Yang looked good. The OST was great. It has that relaxing, understated feel. BUT – it feels real but when you peel back the layers, it’s also very unreal. The writing was inconsistent – it focused on one character (Ji An Lei / Sonia Sui) so well it…

Loved in the Purple / The Purple Hairpin ending thoughts
A little while ago Dee wrote this comment on my previous post about Loved in the Purple / The Purple Hairpin (紫钗奇缘): I endured all the way to the end hoping for a final twist in the plot but it was disappointing.. If you have not finished this series, don’t waste any more of your…
