I've started following this drama last year but didn't finish because I couldn't find the other episodes in better quality. I've watched up to episode 16 and decided to wait until the drama secure an official broadcast date (will it ever see daylight?). Since the cast is not as popular and it's another Chinese adaptation, I don't know if this series will ever...
The Chinese drama Princess of Lan Ling Wang, which is currently airing, stars Peng Guanying as Yuwen Yong, Baby Zhang Hanyun as Yuan Qingsuo, and Andy Chen Yi as Lan Ling Wang. Aired only twice a week, the drama will take awhile to finish. ...
My favorite TVB actress for years is finally tying the knot with her boyfriend Him Law. They registered their marriage in England in March and decided to hold their wedding today: October 2nd at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Many people have described the star-studded wedding ceremony (hosted by Bob Lam) even grander than the TVB award ceremony itself, seeing many old faces that vow...
I've written this review over three years ago for my now non-existent book blog. Instead of scrapping all of the reviews, I think it is a good idea to incorporate it into my drama blog especially the ones I've made movie references to. Summary: Speaking to us with the wisdom of age and in a voice at once haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta...
My Rating: 8.5/10 (for a TVB comedy) I actually enjoyed this drama although I haven't watched any of the series with the similar cast (The Great Eunuch and Overachievers). It was very relaxing to watch this since it is a no-brainer. The chemistry between the cast is great and the whole Kam family reminds me of the family dramas produced back then (Moonlight...
Another TVB drama review (Fist Within Four Walls) --- TVB is on a roll this year, putting out good-quality productions. Currently airing are two completely different series with totally different genres and tone. Daddy Dearest, geared more towards family with kids, is actually not gaining as much praises as Fist is. I am hearing lukewarm reviews on this series but many are praising...
My Rating: 9.5/10 I can't believe I actually finished this series! I genuinely recommend this family comedy because trust me, you will not regret it. Although it is 28 episodes long, the series didn't drag like last year's Ghost of Relativity. It's purely a comedy so there is no need to take it too seriously --- in some parts, it did slow down...
This was recently released and has finished airing. After reading the synopsis, i gave it a try and decided to continue on. I like how each 701 member has their own skills and how they work together for the missions. And of course, the main lead is also doing an excellent job so I want to finish the drama. (It's also a happy...

Since both parties didn't respond, many speculated that the pair wasn't a couple from the start and just got together for promotional purpose. This March, it was already rumored that their...

TVB has a good start this year --- some pretty decent dramas that are actually watchable. I didn't plan on giving this a try since it was led by newbies Vincent Wong and Tracy Chu. Many liked Tracy but I have yet been impressed by her until this drama came along. I love this drama over the first two 2016 dramas I've seen....

This is the one of the only time I've watch a TVB drama without Tavia Yeung in it. But due to rave reviews, I gave it a try and it deserves the ratings it received! I was not disappointed at all!

For more information on this drama, please visit this link to the introduction. I'm up to episode 32 so three more episodes to go but I've skipped to episode 35 and SKIMMED IT to see how the ending is and I had a WTF moment just like everybody else who saw it. Everything went smoothly like Qi Sheng abdicating the throne to elope...
Recently, instead of watching full-length episode dramas, I've started watching mini web dramas instead. The episodes usually range around 15 to 20 minutes in length and the production budget is low so it is incomparable to large budget dramas such as Nirvana in Fire and Legend of Zhen Huan. To balance things out, the production would either lack in one area such as...
