SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind.

The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Recommended Series for Feb 2005 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Not sure if you know this but if you haven't watched this series now is your chance to watch it for free!!

Not sure which channel but local Malaysian channel is showing Golden Faith, a must watch! 8TV is showing Holland V, at 5 pm and 3 times a week, also a must watch but you know what? Thanks to 8TV for killing this show at such a nonsense time slot and so slow a pace. Anyway in case you're curious about Shaun Chen, he will appear in Episode 24, the week after Chinese New Year. Take note of that.

Also at prime time we have that famous Korean period drama Jewel In The Palace. Never watched because didn't know but it seems to show more about food and customs than the intriguing storyline of a female doctor? I am not sure what it is about.

Those with ASTRO must take note, end of February there is Point of No Return, I definitely will watch this. Not sure about that Driving something. Happy Ever After is showing on channel 34 which is great but too darn slow for me.

Lately local TV is showing more Taiwanese/Chinese series rather than TVB series. I wonder why the change? There are some Taiwanese series on TV but frankly I wouldn't waste my time. I hate the dubbed voices and I hate the half baked storyline, the producer more concerned with putting in big names as the cast rather than good actors in suitable roles.

Late at midnight in channel 7 local TV as in NTV 7 they have Child's Hope which is interesting but too melodramatic. i know sick children, pitiful but frankly I'd rather watch Holland V anytime.

Those with Shuang XIn on ASTRO lucky you because they have Song Hye Kyo's latest series, not sure what is the name. They even showed All In some time ago but not that I will watch. The only Korean drama series I watched was Hotelier and I liked it. In fact I saw Jade Starbiz and HK is making a similar series, and I think Ron Ng is playing that useless rich kid, Mary Hon the dying mother and owner of the hotel, a sickening feeling that Joe Ma is playing Bae Yong Jun's role (never ever play his role if you do not have an ounce of his charisma) and Kenix Kwok is playing I think Zheng Yin though I am sure TVB altered the storyline to more drama than just pure love story. i wonder who is Han Tai Jun????

What else? Colourful Life is coming in Channel 34, a series worth watching again because you get to watch Myolie's not that stunning but impressive debut.

But if you want my honest opinion, fans of Myolie must watch and rewatch Golden Faith, the series that practically catapulated her to the actor's actor league. Her best performance todate. I can safely say the month of February is indeed Myolie's month as we have Colourful Life in channel 34, Golden Faith on local Channel and Triumph In The Skire on Channel 30 Wah Lai Toi.

So my recommendation? If you care for it,

Golden Faith for some seriously great acting

Holland V so that you too will become obsessed with Xiao Xin (strictly for girls of course)

Happy Ever After to remininsce the glorious days of Kong Wah, oh so handsome and so so good in that series

Triumph In The Skies so that you can read my Episodic Thoughts and share with me your thoughts, as it is a bit lonely for me to have all the say and no much replies.

And definitely catch Point of No Return, as it has one of my favourite past times...to see whether Charmaine Sheh improved or not. Her fans say YEAHHHH YEAHHH YEAHHHH her non fans say NOOOOO NOOOOO NOOOO and I want to say YEAHHH YEAHH YEAHH but I bet I will say OH PUH LEASEEEE PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY!!!

Funn, I love coming back and reading your thoughts and episodic reviews on Triumph in the Skies!

I'm no longer in Malaysia so I didn't have a chance to continue Holland V... was very annoyed to find out that it was showing only 3 times a week!

Myolie was definitely terrific in Golden Faith... am waiting to finish this series because I never got the chance to!

PONR is a must-watch though! I thoroughly enjoyed Damien, Chi Lam and Charmaine as well as Angie Chiu. Definitely a whole lot more dramatic than TITS though with villians!

New Zealand... was much too overweight to try carry six boxes of Holland V discs over! *laughs*

I cannot imagine a TVB version of Hotelier... Hotelier was a K-drama classic without the tragedy cliches.

I predict that u will have a lot to rant about during the 1/2 half of PONR. Not because of Charm's acting but the plot. The 1/2 half of the series is rather dissapointing in my book. I expected so much more from Julian's character. This series is after all named after his charactr. So, I expect to series to show more of his growing up process. Instead they just focus on the romance.

Too bad I can't watch Holland V. I have to work until 5.30 everyday.

I agree totally with Kidd. PONR was actually quite a disappointment for me particularly for the 2nd half of the show. The entire story just fell apart from there. The characterization of both Julian and Charmaine was problematic too, and Angie Chiu's acting was definitely overrated.

Well, just my own humble opinions ;)

Joe Ma as Bae Yong Jun's character??? Eeeeewwww... Sorry to say but I always find Joe Ma boring as the lead. I dun think he'll be able to pull off such a charismatic character like Shen Dong Jing in Hotelier. Funn once mentioned having Shaun Chen as SDJ, but I think he still lacks the experience and style to play a character like that. I'm sure he will, some day, but just not yet.

Seriously, I can't think of anyone in TVB who can even match BYJ in playing that role...

Kenix Kwok as Zhen Yin? No, I dun like that idea also. She gives me the same feeling as when I see Joe Ma onscreen... I'd probably prefer someone like Maggie Cheung Ho Yee....

I can imagine Bowie Lam as Han Tai Jun thou =P.

Bowie Lam as Han Tai Jun? Yeah yeah excellent choice.

The thing is I am speculating. I am sure TVB changed the storyline because Kenix said she is playing someone who is bad and yet not so bad. So maybe to add some drama they changed the focus of the storyline. Shaun Chen can play the role I said he could, but he needs experience and he needs to add 10 years to his age first. BUT he already looks older than his age and he has style so who cares about substance? Not like Joe Ma has any, so why not find someone I won't get bored watching??

Haha, Funn... Bowie Lam is perfect for Han Tai Jun! But Kim Seung Woo is still the HTJ! Very hard to replace. I can't see Kenix as Zhen Yin though.
