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. For your convenience, I have

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.

Twin of Brothers
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
Very confusing series. We have brothers who are not brothers and a mother who was never their mother. THe costumes look ultra modern, with one girl in miniskirts in most scenes. We have 2 jokers as leading characters and from what I read in most reviews, the tone will become very very serious. It's not bad, thus far. But here's my take on it after about what? A few episodes...
1. The cinematography is unique and beautiful. I can see the effort in this area and I appreciate that, especially from a TVB series.
2. The costumes and make up reminds me of Storm Rider-neither the past nor the future but a fantasy wuxia flick and again it's unique
3. The kung fu is really something. How many years have I not seen those scenes where one kung fu fighter heals another with "hei kung"? This series is like the olden days of kung fu fighting scenes although I still feel most scenes are rather rushed.
4. Whilst I disagree with some casting decision and most performance right now are uninspired, I kinda appreciate the uniqueness of the chaarcters and the world they're in. It's not the usual stuff.
5. I like the fact that the 2 leads bared their buttocks for this series, unfortunately that scene was censored so well..useless sacrifice, at least in Malaysia that is.
I think I have repeated the same word many times already. I think at the end of the day this series give me an impression that it is unique. Unique in every sense that many may not be able to stomach it. I haven't read the book, will never read it so I wouldn't know which is better and what is missing and what is extra. I may not like many aspects of it but my eyes are glued on the TV just for a few minutes when there was this one scene; I think the villain meeting the 2 leads in a bamboo forest or something. That scene was beautiful, atmospheric and really, if more consideration has been given to actually set the right course for this series from episode 1, we may have a winner here. I don't like the comedy elements in the face of so many serious stuff. That is what I do not like.
I am still watching this series, every other day. Not much comment thus far.
Monday Split Second will debut. Saw the trailer, looks mighty confusing but should be gritty and I hope for once a drama should be a drama. No extra stuff, just give me what it is and not make it into another stuff.

But the more I watch it the more the series go downhill. Inconsistancy of characters's personality, split direction (it's like 2 series join into 1. u can seperate the Ron's an Raymond's part, and they can make 2 complete series) and inane thoughts/reaction by characters. I also dislike the love stories. I just lost interest in the series half-way and quit when the only character who keep me watching died. There are a few characters other I also like in the series, but not enough to make me continue the series.
A part I thought really is inane is this:
There's this 1 woman, who is leader of a clan. Her clan got decimated and only a few left and they all became slaves to their conqueror. She's a caring leader in that she endured great suffering to keep her remainintg clan member safe. She deviced a plan to free all her clan members but the result is that all her clan members die except her and her assistant. Now do u think she is a capable leader and a good strategist? No, right? But everyone still praise her as a great strategist despite her pathetic track record and some guy actual hire her as his clan's strategist. And what is her strategy during battle? Not go out and fight the enemy but send for help from outside and just wait for said help to come. Well, said help come at the nick of time, and everyone praise the woman for her great strategy. I was like 'What strategy?' If Sau Ling (Tavia) didn't care for, the outside help would never arrive. Sau Ling has to defy her brother to get the troop there to safe them. Wihout Sau Ling, ther will be no outside help. This is what call a great strategy. Please....
split second will also be airing here soon as well after shine on you. but i've heard lots of bad reviews, how its a rip off of infernal affairs and other shows/movies, not really looking forward in seeing it haha.
By the way that computer graphic of Twins of Brothers, that dragon when the title was shown is I must say very cool.
After this series I love Kevin Cheng in here . He's so ultra cool . If you love him in Hard Fate you just gotta catch Kevin here .
Like Pearl said I found Johnson Lee the actor who played the Dog "angel" ? in not just a pretty face series absolutely good here . his expression and actions and even his scripts [To be a " Tai Lo " is not like this ] those who saw this should know what I mean !
Partick Tam - another awatd winning performance ( forget about seed of hope , angels of mission etc ) just watch him here ok !
marco Ngai - very good from marco you actually felt sorry for him even though he's the baddie
and of course the thai stars Chatchai and Rita Jensen something refreshing . I especially love Chatchai like toward the end so touching scene
Funn, not so sure if you like this kind of series , but if u see this without comparing this to PTU , Infernal affairs then should be quite refreshing and yes apart from Alex Fong , Mandy Cho , Yoyo Mung the rest of the acting even those ( ke-le-fes ) are excellent !
Even the soundtrack is cool , they took the Rick Price [ Heaven Knows ] and oldies Moon River - a haunting song that fits this series .
I guess there's no episodic thoughts eh ?
Anyway no episodic thoughts. Not veyr popular series so no point.
Twin of Brothers on the other hand concentrated on the love part too much. And the good vs. evil was boring to watch.
Hmm, is The Conqueror’s Story going to air anytime soon?
It's ok you don't have to worry , apart from the first few episodes mandy will not be appearing a lot .
As for the Astro Wah lai toi awards I am quite mad with them , why on earth did they nominate Alex Fong !!?? They should have put any of the male casts ( even Johnson Lee ) . All of them deserves it than Alex Fong !
