Every Step You Take

When I first watched this drama, I gave up on after two episodes and re-watched The Heirs instead.

The second time, I watched it again, I found a new perspective to this drama.

The first time I watched it, I got two things out of it, no one likes Moses and that Jonathan will cheat on Myolie.

The second time I watched it, I also have the same thoughts this time but found that beside that aspect, it is about Moses finding himself.

Moses is a typical 40 year old man who focus his time on work and spending time with his Serious mother. He used people to helped him achieve what he needed. He has changed since three years ago when he got promoted to Creative Director. He did not care about anyone but work. He lost himself through that three years, in that three years the people who used to worship him, loath him. The people around him slowly decreases.
It was not until Elaine told him that no one likes him, what he does is wrong, and because of him, she hates her job. He used to be someone she looked up to but not anymore.

Afterwards, Moses took a 108 days of leave from work to reconnect himself again. He wants to find his passion in his creative work. One of Moses work is, 'Love is eternal, nothing's impossible,' and in one of his ads, is about an angel that gave up his eternity to be with the girl he loves, he gave it up to see the girl smile. Because smile is eternal. Yet, Moses could not find his love.

He met Myolie and To Junior. They both helped each other through Myolie's break up with Jonathan because like she said, 'A blind heart is worse than being blind,' she knew that Jonathan chose to be with her because of responsibility but his heart is not with her. So she let him go.
Myolie helped Moses patch his broken brotherhood relationship with Evergreen by encouraging him to make the first move to text Evergreen.

Moses and Myolie slowly grew fond of each other and they were there for each other. They have a connection with each other three years ago through his ads. That is fate.

Side note, Owen and Cila's love story seem a little unrealistic to me. Really?! He loves her because she always back him. I don't know, and then travel to Japan spontaneously with no luggage, how do you survive?

Anyways, like Moses and Myolie always say in the drama, Keep going, keep fighting and keep smiling!

The Last Healer in the Forbidden City episodes 1-7

The difference about this drama is that it has a huge budget which means they have better scenery. The story line itself is so-so. 

Tavia and Roger was so closed to get married until on the wedding day, she was caught trying to escape with a man. Roger cut ties with her and instead of letting her died using the bamboo thingy, yes, I don't know what it is called, he choose to let her go. 

Years later, she return to her hometown and found that the clinic that once belong to her family has been preoccupy by her Senior. He made it into a casino, and demand Tavia to show him the lease. Tavia try to get on JJ Jia good side, so she can sneak inside Roger's study room and steal the lease. JJ Jia is Roger's wife. Roger gave Tavia the lease. 

Tavia wants to work in the palace to find out who the informant is. 

So far, this drama is so-so. Well, we just have to see what else happens. 

Perish In The Name Of Love

 

Its been 12 years since this drama has broadcasted. How much has time flies. I miss old TVB dramas where they put so much effort into their story and war scenes.

 

Since re-watching this drama, it makes me realize how strong love can be. Like if you were meant to be, you will be together.

 

Steven and Charmaine were childhood sweethearts in the palace, but because of jealousy and the thirst to be Empress, an evil concubine blames Maggie, (who plays as Charmaine's mother) that she was the one that poison her causing her to lose her son at birth. Moses and his mother were furious and banished Maggie. Being a loving daughter, Charmaine pleaded to Moses to let her go with her mother.

Because of it, Steven and Charmaine were separated at 11 years old.

 

Time flies, and Charmaine, Maggie, Sonja and her grandpa lived in a small village where Charmaine buy fish and deliver it to the soldiers. Whereas Steven's family were living in a horrible condition making Steven work in a canon company. His friend, Michael Tong, met Charmaine and fancy her.

 

Anyways, Charmaine left her village to work in a canon company owes by Michael Tong's father. It also happens to be where Steven works too.

You could imagine how frustrated I was when every times Charmaine and Steven inopportunity to see each other. And when they did, I was hoping that they would recognize each other. At some point Charmaine realize that Steven was her childhood sweetheart, but because she promise her mother that she would not expose her identity in fear that people will assassin them, so she didn't tell him.

Eventually Steven realize that Charmaine was his sweetheart. At the same time Charmaine and her family returned to the palace.

Things happen and Steven were in the palace with Michael. We later found out that Steven was engaged to Annie Man.

 

And Maggie found out that the evil concubine framed her. In order to protect her children, Sonja and Charmaine, she seek elsewhere to find evidence. Annie's dad had a letter that has the detailed of what happened. Annie was going to give the letter to Charmaine, but the evil concubine found out and they fought. Annie died. Sonja put her body in the lake, and frame Charmaine.

 

Charmaine is a prisoner, and Moses were frustrated as his people could not help him defeated his enemy. To solve the problem he made an official date where Charmaine will find her prince. The thing is, everyone knows that Charmaine has to married this greedy man who has power. Steven enter the competition. PLOT TWIST. Steven won the competition. Charmaine and Steven are engaged!!!! SO HAPPY!!!

Sonja was forced to married the greedy man. She was supposed to married him from the start but she realize that he wasn't charming and force Charmaine to married him, but karma fight back and that's her ending. *Life lesson in TVB dramas: Do good deed, and good deed will be receive, do bad deed, karma will get you back in the worse way. So do good deed guys*

 

Steven were sent to war, and Charmaine is in the palace waiting for his news.

 

To find out what happened next, give this drama a try. It is worth a watch.

I LOVE this theme song! Wish Steven and Charmaine could collide again!

Feels like this couple is so underrated.



Cute On-Screen Couples of 2014 so far...

Ruco Chan and Aimee Chan- Outbound Love, Ruse of Engagement

They were super cute in Outbound Love. They're chemistry is unbelievable. This is my favourite  I wonder if they will have any series after this as a pair once Aimee returns from her maternity leave.

Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung- Storm in a Cocoon

The page about them says all I think about this couple. Still don't like the ending, why can't it be happy ending?

This couple is super cute, and the chemistry between the two were always perfect!

Its so hard for this couple to have a happy ending, and I wonder when is the next time Steven will return and film another TVB drama with Tavia again.

 

Wong Cho Lam and Stephanie Ho- Glided Chopstick

 

These two makes Glided Chopstick an enjoyment to watch. They are super cute and hilarious.

 

Matt Yeung and Aimee Chan- Outbound Love

 

I don't know if I'm supposed to hate Nic or like him. One, he cheats on Law Sic Sic, two, he tells her that she is the only woman that he loved and three, suddenly he comes back and asks her for forgiveness.

 

Even when she did gives him a second chance, he realize that she loves someone else, and once again, he uses the tactic to break her heart so that she would move on and be with the person she truly loves.

 

Matt and Aimee's character short live romance in this series were bittersweet but I wouldn't mind seeing them playing as a couple again, because they, too were cute. But maybe this time, Matt wouldn't have to hurt her heart.

Who is the cutest on-screen couple of 2014 for you?

 





Be the one to make the difference!

Though I haven't watch any TVB drama lately, but I will always be inspired by these drama. TVB have change my point of view in society. They inspire me to be who I am today. And I am forever grateful for it.

The Last Breakthrough

*picture belong to TVB*

This drama not only inspire me to try to make a difference in this world but it has makes me sees the reality of the world.. It's about a group of doctors and nurses who volunteer their time in 'Life Force,' to help people in Kenya, Africa. It's an inspirational drama. Words cannot say how much this drama has inspire many people, perhaps it has inspire you to be a doctor or a nurse? Or perhaps it has inspire you to volunteer your time to help the local people? Remember, there are people out there that need our help, so we should help the needy too. Give something back to the society perhaps?

Heart Breathing- Raymond Lam

I love the theme song of 'The Last Breakthrough.' Raymond has a soothing voice and he makes it sound so powerful. Listening to it makes me want to roll up my sleeves and help the needy. Your thoughts?

The Academy

Credit of the photo should go to TVB

Inspire to be a policeman? The Academy gives you a sneak peek of 27 weeks of hard training to be a policeman. Honestly, this has to be one of the better polices dramas. Besides the romance, the road to be a polices has been a long road but in the end it would be worth it, because at least after this, there are more people who can protect the society. Protect the community. 

The Other Truth

credit of the photo should go to TVB

Want to be a lawyer? Or wonder how the jury were selected? Or how the court system works? 

The Other Truth is different from most legal dramas that TVB has produce. It shows how the jury were selects, how they decides the verdict of the case, it shows the grey area in the court system. You might think that they are innocence but really they are guilty. And the legal system shows the justice and fairness in the adversary system. Unless it is the Inquisitorial system where the truth is the main objective. 

Do you want to be lawyer? But there are different types of lawyer too, a good lawyer or a bad lawyer. A bad lawyer is not technically an inexperience lawyer but the sort of lawyers that you sees in drama, where in order of winning a big cases, they would turn from wrong to right, they would make their clients from guilty to innocence and the parties on the right side would be seem as bad. Don't you agree? Is money really important than morality? 

On Call 36  

credit should of the poster should go to TVB

Maybe you're inspires to be a doctor after watching 'The Last Breakthrough' or simply because you just love KenTa. Being a doctors would means that you need to have a lot of patients, especially with all the years of studying at university, then being a trainee at the doctor, then being a specialist trainee, until you can actually be a specialist in the field. And that is a very long time. Not trying to make it sound impossible, but being a doctor is a rewarding career. Because doctors are saving people lives, and even if doctors cannot save all lives, at least they have tries their best. Working at the hospitals, doctors would be able to sees the happiness and sorrows everyday. Can you handle it? Remember, you can be the one that make a differences in saving a person, and not just the person itself, but their family too. 

A Great Way to Care 1/2 

credit of the posters should go to TVB

Maybe instead of being a doctor, why not be a psychiatrist instead and specialist in mentally ill criminals? Think about it, not only are you a doctor but you are also somewhat working with the police? Being able to help people recover from an illness should be a rewarding job. Would you not agree?

And these are the dramas that have inspires me, and I hope that this post or dramas have inspire you too. Perhaps, you are confuse with what career you want to do, maybe you might want a rewarding career, has these tick the boxes for you? And whatever career you are doing or studying or aspires to be, I truly wish you the very best in it. May you be happy, and perhaps be the one to make the the difference in the society. Remember, one can tip the scales. Choose wisely.
