Okay, so most of you guys might have heard of Bii. I have recently discovered him through Bromance. His music is soulful, ballad and pop. Yep, I will leave the music do the talking.
Bii- Back In Time
Credit of the vid should go to the rightful owner
This song is feature in Bromance. The lyrics are quite sad. Waiting for a love and wishing them happiness. Recalling the love that you once have, and now it is gone.
Bii- Come Back To Me
Credit of the vid should go to the rightful owner
Another heartbreaking song, it is about the love of his life leaving him. I like that he rap in Korean.
Bii- Nothing But Happiness
Credit should go to the rightful owner
Something about this song that has the sense of lost.
Bii-Love More
Credit should go to the rightful owner
This song is so light and fluffy.
Oh and I like when Bii, Ian, Andrew and Dino has a song together. Is a real boy band????
Starring:
Megan Lai as Pi Yanuo
Baren Chen as Du Zifeng
Bii as Wei Qing Yang
Sean Lee as Chu Zherui
Katie Chen as Yang NaNa
Mandy Tao as Du Zihan
Johnny Yang as Liao Gang Chao
What I like about this drama?
Um.. the story line is different because Pi Yanuo who is actually a girl have to live her life as boy for 25 years. Because a fortune teller told her parents that she will not survived if she live as a girl, and only on her 26th birthday, can she be a girl again.
Pi Yanuo and Du Zifeng
Met by fate, destined to be together. Yanuo save Zifeng from drowning when he was little. That is fate. They met again when Zifeng was endanger by the mafia who have his people fight against Zifeng. Anyways, I won't get into detail about this couple, just know that there are a cute scenes between these two. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. I ship them hehehehe
Wei Qing Yang and Yang NaNa
The relationship between them is pure and innocent. It was his coffee that bought them together, his coffee reminds her of her deceased mother, and they develop a bond.
All I could say is that this drama is worth a watch. It is so different from the same old same old drama.
Du Zifeng is the leader of the three families who are in a triad. He is caring, loving, protective and affectionate. Pi Yanou is thoughtful, considerate, kind and warm. Qing Yang is quite, reserve, caring and protective. NaNa is out-going. The two couples alone made the drama so interesting to watch.
But be warn, once you start, you won't be able to stop watching at one episode.
Love the OST

There's something about this duet that speak about the relationship between Zifeng and Yanuo so well. Love the harmony of the two artist. Gosh, this song is on repeat.

Bii, can I just say he is my bias? He is half- Taiwanese and Korean.
I like the song coz it fits with Nana and Qing Wei's relationship.
Credit of the vid should go to the rightful owner
Okay, in all of the OST, the opening is my absolute fav!
The song itself makes you feel so happy and puts a smile on your face. Not to mention, the voices of the four singers works out so well. Gosh, on repeat.
The reason why I didn't write in detail about this drama is because it is hard to write about it, you have to give this drama a go. One episode at least.
The beat is alright but this, to me, personally is not my fav.
I like the rap though.

Linda Chung- I Got Married
Linda composed the songs and the lyrics were written by Wong Cho Lam. Honestly, Linda should really composed more songs because I love it. This song is so cute and all the fluff guys! TOO CUTE! Really like the chorus too! Congrats on your marriage!
Belongs to the rightful owner
Do you guys have anymore suggestions? Have not listens to CPOP for so long
To be honest, the male casts draws me to the drama and I miss watching Bosco in dramas.
Joe Chen as Qian Bao Bao/ Xian Hao
Bosco Wong as Shen Wen Tao
Jia Nai Ling as Xiang Hao
Episodes: 41 (I was a bit hesitate with the number of episodes, but it is worth it)
Spoilers are in this review, if you plan to watch it. Stop reading here, you have been warn. :P
Where do I start?
The cast looks promising which is the main reason why I decided to give this drama a go, because the synopsis to me is quite typical. In order to save her sick mother, Qian Bao Bao stole the identity of Xian Hao, a psychology instructor for Long Cheng Military Academy. Along the way she meets Xiang Hao and the two did not get along well at all. While Wen Tao is her only friend at the academy who protects her, and always help her. Thus, a love triangle.
What I like about this drama?
Xiang Hao. Honestly, I didn't expect to like Xiang Hao at all. He's a prankster. No joke. He always prank Bao Bao because like Bao Bao describes it, "Cat and Mouse relationship." Every scenes of him and Bao Bao makes me laugh so hard. He is a child at heart. The cute thing is when they were at the ball, and he wants to dance with Bao Bao but Wen Tao ask her first. The result, Wen Tao and Xiang Hao dance together. Xiang Hao confess to her that he likes her and that would have to be the cutest scene yet. When he found out the truth that Bao Bao isn't Xian Hao, his fiancee, he still loves her. He did not care about her identity. And these two have been through so much together.
Shen Wen Tao. I knew right from the beginning that Bao Bao would not choose him. It's not because he is a bad person, no he is opposite of that. He is gentle, smart, serious and understanding. He found out that Bao Bao is not Xian Hao long ago and did not expose it, instead he protects her. Every time Bao Bao is sad, he is always there to comfort her, he is always helping her in whatever situation she is in. He loves her. Both of them adopt Xiao Yu, a puppy. Even though he knows that Bao Bao doesn't like him, he is still always there for her.
Bao Bao. The moment she choose to return to the academy for Xiang Hao, she knew that her life is always on the edge of death. Because stolen identity is a major crime. But with her best friend, Wen Tao and her lover, Xiang Hao, and the friends that she made at the academy, she have the courage to face whatever challenges that is against it. When the real Xian Hao return to the academy, there were a time when Xiang Hao were force to marry Xian Hao to save Bao Bao from death sentence. Of course, throughout the challenges, Xian Hao realise that loving Xiang Hao for ten years is a mistakes. And that her real lover is, Ouyang Fei, the boy that save her from drowning when she was 5 years old.
Xiang Hao and Shen Wen Tao- Bromance. Both were competitors for Jiyad Captain position. Xiang Hao did not like Wen Tao because of a misunderstanding, whereas Wen Tao have always see Xiang Hao as his brother. Throughout the drama, Xiang Hao and Wen Tao mend their broken brotherhood and they were "Brotherhood for life and the next lifetime."
Gu Xiao Bai. Du Feng. Gao Mei Ren. Han Xu. These four guys are so loyal to Xiang Hao and Wen Tao. I am a bit bias coz out of the four I like Gu Xiao Bai played by Zhang Yun Long.
Dean Xie and Dr Su. These two are wayyy too cute and hilarious too!
Xian Hao and Ouyang Fei. I am so happy that they were together. These two are just too cute. I knew there were something special when Ouyang Fei save her the second time (the first time when she was 5 years old) from the river which she fell off from the train.
What I don't like about this drama?
THE ENDING! Did I just went through all 41 episodes of this drama just to have this ending. No. I did not. I was expecting a happy ending in which Xiang Hao and Bao Bao are happily together and Shen Wen Tao with them. I just want a happy ending. How hard can it be to fulfill my wish?
Shen Wen Tao I'm in tears watching it. I was hoping that when you used yourself as human shield against Li Ji Zou that perhaps, Bao Bao escape and shot those bullets from behind to kill Li Ji Zou (Main Villain btw) but nope. It is not the case. Wen Tao shot himself and the bullets shot Li Ji Zou too. Wen Tao sacrifice himself. I could not believe that Wen Tao died. I mean, I was a bit suspicious that either Wen Tao or Ouyang Fei would died. It's an instinct that I have. Still, Wen Tao's death is too much for me. And if Wen Tao's death is not the worse, the academy thought that Bao Bao died while they were in a mission to destroy the weapons from the enemy sides.
Wen Tao and the other soldiers that sacrifice themselves for the country were reward with a medal and with respect.
Xiang Hao believes that Bao Bao is still alive. So he left the academy. On the train, where it have all begin when he first met Bao Bao, he met her again. Bao Bao were on the train that he is on, but the stupid and saddest thing that could possibly happen is, Bao Bao have amnesia. Yeah, so she doesn't remember who Xiang Hao is. Heart broken that the love of his life doesn't remembered him, he decides to tell her the stories of him and her while on the train.
Xiang Hao. He has the worse ending. He lost his best friend, a brother for life in the mission, and now his lover does not remember him. Why did all three main characters have a sad ending? One is dead. One have amnesia. One is left with all the memory. What is the meaning of this? Why?
Nonetheless, this drama is worth a watch.

Just because they look good in their costume so one more poster. ;)

Listening to the OST to relive some of the moments that either makes you laugh, smiles or cry your eyes out.
While I haven't been watching TVB dramas, I have been exploring other dramas outside of Hong Kong. Dramas that may have been air for many years now and with a good plot manage to make me wanted to watched it over and over again.
Fall in Love With Me - Taiwanese drama (2014)
Starring: Aaron Yan, Tia Li, Beatrice Fang, Jack Li, Johnny Yang...
Lu Tian Xing (Aaron Yan) is a CEO that owes a successful advertisement company. He suddenly announce that he wants to take a three months break and disappear.
Tao Li Su (Tia Li) is a girl who is struggling to keep her decrease brother, OZ advertisement company a success along with her friends (Jack, Johnny, Katherine).
Around this time LTX decides to help TLS because her brother has inspire Tian Xing into persuading marketing in advertisement as his career.
LTX disguise himself as Xiao Lu (the one on the right in the poster above) to help OZ. And from there romance begin to sparkles.
Thoughts:
This drama was great! Aaron's performance as Lu Tian Xing and Xiao Lu is phenomenal! He has outdone himself. From this 'A Time Of Love- Japan,' I've become a fan of Aaron Yan. Anyone a fan of him?
From episode 12 onwards, the drama was a little cliché. With Huan Huan (Beatrice Fang) as the girl who is in love with Lu Tian Xing, you can guess what happens next.
This drama revolves around French cuisine, so be prepare to be craving everything that they cook up in this drama!
Fu Zi Jie or Louis (Jasper Liu), is the son of the owner the restaurant that Du Kai Qi (Puff Guo) works at. Kai Qi is used to being alone and being independent but Zi Jie is determine to show his childhood playmate, Kai Qi being with someone is better than being alone. And the love story begins.
Thoughts:
For the first few episodes, Jasper has the same expression but afterward he was more comfortable with his character and you can see it in the later episodes. Jasper and Puff chemistry were really cute! I ship them! :)
Puff's performance were really good! She definitely has that Kai Qi in her.
I really like this drama, didn't want it to end. It is so good! Won't say much, don't want to spoil it otherwise you won't watch it. ;)
Scarlet Heart or Bu Bu Jing Xing - Chinese drama (2011)
Pretty sure you guys have seen this drama, if not, you might have heard of it. If you haven't watch it, do it now. One of my favourite Chinese drama.
Time travelling series has always been interesting and entertaining to see how a modern person can bring their modern knowledge in the Qing Dynasty.
My favourite princes are 10th, 13th and 14th. What about you?
There is a modern version to this one, but I didn't watch it base on the poor reviews it received.
Princess Pearl 1 and 2 or Huan Zhu Ge Ge- Chinese Drama (1997&1998)
This drama is so famous all over the world that I'm sure you know how quickly hook I was to this drama! Love the plot, cast and the theme song.
Dang (When) by Power Station.
Listens to the song and relive your childhood.
And yes, my favourite couple is Vicki Zhao Wei and Alec Su
Recent pic of them.
Credit of the photo should go to Vicki herself.
Who was your favourite couple in Princess Pearl?
And these are the dramas that I have been watching instead of TVB. Guess TVB dramas doesn't interest me that much anymore? However, I am looking forward to Linda and Alex's drama.
I came across this YouTube videos and just listening to it remind me of my childhood and the beautiful dramas that TVB have produce.
Credit of the Youtube video should goes to the Uploader, lizihao1130 and TVB.
I remember each and every background music and it makes me think of all the old dramas that TVB have created. TVB have create the best dramas and it have teach us a lot of things such as the bad people never have a happy ending, the good will always have a happy ending so if you want a happy ending, be a good person. Not to mention being a policeman is hard work especially in "The Academy" where we can see Ron Ng and Samuel Chan training for 27 weeks to be policemen. Being a doctor is no easy task such as "Healing Hands" and "The Hippocratic Crush." Being a lawyer have a good lawyer and a bad lawyer such as in "Will Power" where the bad lawyer have a terrible ending in the end. "Survivor Law, Ghetto Justices, The Other Truth" all of these dramas have teach us how the legal systems works in Hong Kong and gives us a brief idea of what type of lawyers are there.
In "Triumph in the Skies 1 and 2" gives us a brief idea on how to be a pilot and flight attendance.
"Step in the Past, Three Kingdom RPG" gives us a tastes in the past is like.
"Journey to the West," gives a history of China of how the monk together with the pig, monkey, and another man I don't remember how they have been through a lot to collect the bible.
TVB have produces amazing dramas over 46th years. And even though some of the drama produces lately may not be as the best drama as before, lets remember that TVB have been a part of our life.
So who is Tang Chi Wai you ask?
Well he is the man behind all of TVB amazing theme songs. He compose the song. He also have written Raymond Lam a number of songs for him. "The Final Blessing" is a recent song written by him. He has also write "Don't blame her," for Ron a few years ago.
Tang Chi Wai is a talented musician and I'm going to miss his music a lot because he left TVB for whom he have work for 12 years. In May 2012, he held a concert with Bosco, Ron, Raymond, Niki, Wayne and so on as his guest stars.
With him leaving TVB, who will write the songs for TVB dramas now? And will they have the same amazing theme songs or would it get really downhill.
I hope Tang Chi Wai the best in his future and please do continue to write amazing songs.
Here's a few clips of the song that he have compose:
Bottled Passion- perform by Teresa Cheung
On My Way- perform by Raymond Lam
Brother's Keeper- perform by Ruco Chan and Edwin Siu
Will Power- perform by Alfred Hui
The list of songs that Tang Chi Wai have compose would go on and on, so if you really like the songs of TVB, think of the man that have composed these beautiful songs.
And this is what he looks like:
If you ever visit Hong Kong and see him, say thank you because he have compose beautiful songs that we would never forget.
The poster of his concert last year:

Yes, Fred won 'The Voice of Stars.' I'm so happy for him. If you guys have been following the show, you would all know that Fred has amazing talent in singing. Every time he sings, he sings with such passion that you can't help but love him.
I have no idea if TVB will sign him for a singing contract or not, but I do hope that a singing company would sign him because I would be one of the fan that would purchase his first album. :D
He also won the 'Professional Recommended Performance Award.'
Here are a few clips of his singing on the show:

I wish Fred the very best in his career and his career would be a smooth one. I hope that he would release an album of his own soon so that I could buy it. (I have no idea when will he do it nor do I know if it would happen) No matter what, Fred, I would be one of your fans buying your album.
So what do you guys think of his amazing singing? Do you like him as a singer or an actor? Comment below. :P

I'm currently watching 'A Change of Heart' and I'm up to eps 11. So far, I really like Bosco's acting and I love the sub-theme, ' The Final Blessing,' because its catchy and Bosco sang the song with a lot of emotional which make the song even more special.
Here is the piano cover of the song:

The song itself:

I really like how the start of the song start up slow and then the chorus makes it sound so meaningful. He sang the song so beautifully! I miss Bosco singing. I'm completely crazy over Bosco at the moment since I just finish re-watching 'War of In Laws' where his humorous acting start from. He is so cute with Myolie. If only they could be together again. Clearly something happen as I can see their chemistry in the drama is very strong. Its the drama that start Boscolie. Is this song dedicated to Myolie, 'The Final Blessing?' But Bosco said it isn't, what do you think? I just hope that both could find their other half soon. Although, I still believe that they're were made it for each other! Do you guys agree with me?
Fred Cheng on 'The Voice of Stars'
Credit should goes to the Up Loader and TVB and the show itself
I'm pretty sure you guys has heard or read about how amazing Fred's voice is. I have no idea he could sing, I didn't know he won a singing contest at the age of 17, which is how he enter the entertainment industry. I have no idea until I read about his performance on The Voice. However, I do know who is Fred Cheng is before The Voice. I often point him out and always want him to have a chance to shine. And now he got his chance. I'm so proud of Fred.
Enjoy the videos. Drop me a comment and tell me what do you think of Bosco's new song and what do you think of Fred's singing? Five out of five???
Hey guys!
I found this clip on YouTube and thought I should share you this.
Credit of the video should go to TVB and trumblexx
Ruco has an amzing voice! Ruco and Linda should really have more duets together. Their voice harmonize together really well. I think Linda and Ruco should be a couple in real life.
Enjoy the Mv guys!
This song is call Only Love Last Forever.
This is an MV from 'I AM CHILAM' album.
Perform by Chilam Cheung and Myolie Wu
This the Manderine version. There is a cantonese version.
After re watching 'The Rippling Blossom,' I just get over them. So I YouTube them and found this, apparently this is last yeat, so it is recent.
I like the Manderine version of the song more. Even though I have no idea what they're singing but judging from the MV, they were lovers then something happen and they seperates.
I don't like the beard that Chilam has in this MV.
Yes, I can't believe that I am so slow in discovering 'Klafmann' who is a pianist that play TVB theme songs. A very talented person. Evey now and then I would check whats new on Youtube.
Here's a glimpse of my point:
No Regrets- Klafmann TVB

Another one will be:
Little Something- Mag Lam (Season of Love ) played by Klafmann

If you guys like it, just type in Klafmann TVB on YouTube and there will be heaps of TVB covers for you guys to check out.
Forgive me if the story doesn't make sense. I tried to show you guys the movie in order. Credit should goes to Up loader and EEG Co. 2012
There was a lot TVB Stars such as Oscar Leung, Kate Tsui, Wong Cho Lam, Eliza Sum...
I love this cute love story. Its about Raymond running into a ghost, Eliza Sum. As her purple colour nail painted on each of her nail, it is closer to her disappearing. The story is very cute.
Just listen to her new song 'Love, Love, Love,' it is very catchy. I really like her song, 'Drop,' it sounds so good. I really like her music. Please check it out when you have time.
Found this on YouTube! I was surprise that Brian sang this song. At first I actually thought it was a famous US singer. I had no idea he could sing so well. I remember the drama he was in was 'The Hippocratic Crush.' I hope I can see more of his acting and his singing.
Lyrics:
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived.
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I need you baby,
And if it's quite all right,
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night.
I love you baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh pretty baby,
Don't let me down, I pray.
Oh pretty baby,
Now that I found you. Stay.
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you ...

Linda in Daddy Good Deed singing Raymond's song. I came across this and I thought it was cool. So I figure I should shares this to you guys! I really like Linda singing. She is very talented. Honestly, before I click on it, I thought it was a clip when Linda sang in Witness Insecurity.

Kate Tsui- Hit Me
This song has been released in 2009. Figure I should post something that relates to her singing. In the MV, it seems that you can really see Kate as who she is, not a character that she is acting as.
