[Favourites Friday] Survivor’s Law rewatch + Episodes 1 to 5 thoughts

There’re some dramas that struck a cord and sticks with you for a long time. Like, a long time. For me, that series was Survivor’s Law (律政新人王), a 2003 TVB series starring Raymond Lam, Myolie Wu, Sammul Chan and Bernice Liu. Four newbies at the time tasked with leading a series. Not much hope was […]

Eye in the Sky Episodes 11 to 15 thoughts

I’m being good this week and started writing this post less than an hour after I finished watching episode 15. But it doesn’t mean I was excited about this week’s ‘cliffhanger’. There wasn’t one! This show has been spoiling us so much I’m starting to think what goes up, must come down (or at least […]

Eye in the Sky Episodes 6 to 10 thoughts

There is SO SO SO much I want to say about Week 2 (episodes 6 to 10) of Eye in the Sky I don’t even know where to start. This series is fast paced, intense and I’m officially addicted. Having two good looking guys in it helps, A LOT. The ratings for this so far […]

Eye in the Sky Episodes 1 to 5 thoughts

When you say ‘TVB series’ nowadays, the response tends to be – well, not so complimentary things. Whether it’s the low budget, or the recycled plots, or a bunch of newbies with questionable acting skills, or the same few people singing the theme songs… I can go on. However, Eye in the Sky is THE […]

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 […]

Upcoming TVB series Line Walker: An interview with the producer

This article from TVB Weekly was from a few months ago (April I think) but I haven’t had a chance to post about it until now! Given that Line Walker (使徒行者) will be premiering on 25 August, I figured it’s about time to dig this up again. 🙂 I guess the only reason I’m […]

Ruse of Engagement – Carson and Yip Ting moments

I still have a half (or maybe even less) written post about Ruse of Engagement but I just thought I’d take a moment to remember this ship. A ship that was never meant to sail. Actually, I don’t know whether the writers intended to at least give them something more because RoE was filmed in […]
