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!

Refresh Man Taiwanese drama
Starring:
Aaron Yan as Ji Wen Kai
Joanne Tseng as Yong Zu Tang
Jack Li as Wang Zi
Lene Lai as Ai Sha
Storyline

Ai Sha, Wen Kai's loyal secretary turns her back on Wen Kai and sided with Wang Zi because she too, was rejected by Wen Kai. To find out what happen, please give this drama a go.
Aaron Yan
I have seen a number of his dramas, Just You, Fall In Love With Me, A Time Of Love- Japan and now, Refresh Man. I can proudly say that Aaron's acting have improved so much. Every details in his face expressions, gestures and tone allows the audience to see the character and not as Aaron is acting blah blah blah. It's Wen Kai not Aaron Yan. His acting got me so caught up in the drama. He have improved so much since Fall In Love With Me. Personally, I like Refresh Man over his other drama, because the storyline itself was amazing throughout and it wasn't typical halfway like Fall In Love With Me.
Joanne Tseng
First time watching a drama with her and I have to say her acting is superb. The emotional scenes were really well acted. I could felt what was going on in her life. She has great chemistry with Aaron and played Zu Tang really well!
This drama is highly recommended! Gonna missed seeing Wen Kai and Zu Tang on screen but I know wherever they are, they are happy.

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.
credit of the video belongs to TVB and the rightful owner
I LOVE this theme song! Wish Steven and Charmaine could collide again!
Feels like this couple is so underrated.

Non TVB dramas that I have seen...
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.
Love Myself or You- Taiwanese drama (2014)
Starring: Jasper Liu, Puff Guo, Lene Lai, Jolin Chien
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)

Starring: Cecelia Liu, Kevin Cheng, Nicky Wu, Justin Yuan, Kenny Lin...
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.

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.

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
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
Written by Tang Chi Wai
Credit of the video should go to HK Tunes
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.

Storm In A Cocoon Review
Credit of the poster should goes to TVB.
This is the BEST drama of 2014 by far! Love the storyline, cast and the scenery!
This story start with Steven as the third child from the famous silk factory, he is a military doctor who escape the military force to return back home since leaving home for five years.
Steven's sister commit suicide but Steven believe that she is murder and he with Tavia, who is a silk worker both believe that she didn't commit suicide but is murder. They decide to solve the crime together.
As I am watching this drama, I'm thinking it must be Steven's sister lover, Stephen Wong or it could be the uncle, Joseph Lee or it could her brother Evergreen Mak because I'm thinking it has to be one of them because its TVB, its typical. This drama prove me wrong all the way from the start til the end. It is none of these people, in fact it is the youngest brother, Yeung Chiu Hoi who accidentally kill his sister. He regrets it a lot and Evergreen know that it was him but choose to help him by creating a scene that seem like she commit suicide.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any more complicated, Tavia's fiancée Raymond Cho return from two years, just when Tavia and Steven had feeling towards one another. My biggest fear is that this would be another replay of "Sweetness In The Salt" or "Cupide Stupid" where Tavia fall for the wrong guy and end up with him. Again, this drama prove me wrong, Raymond turns out to be a thief and he was killed by Steven as self defense to save Tavia.
Finally after all the ups and downs, Steven and Tavia got married. I'm so happy that I couldn't believe what I was watching. Did I mention that this couple is the couple that I really want them to have a happy ending? Just when I thought this couldn't get any better than this, Steven were taken away by the military for escaping the military and he was sentence to seven years in jail. My heart sank. Why TVB? Why do you have to do this to me? I thought.
Tavia were in charge of the factory while Evegreen turn evil because he thought that KK Cheung was actually his father not Steven's father. Evergreen plot revenge against his own family but later found out that he is being used by KK Cheung.
It turn out Tavia was KK Cheung's biological daughter. Steven lied to Tavia that she isn't the daughter to plot revenge against KK Cheung who killed his uncle, Joseph Lee, Mat Yeung, Steven's dad and other people.
I think the hardest episode to watch is episode 29. Mat Yeung's character died because he know the truth. He overheard KK Cheung said that Evergreen is not his son and that he was using him. Maggie Sui died for Evergreen to be good again and that he would stop being evil. TWO good characters died in one episodes. WHY TVB? WHY?
Natalie and Mat were happily in love but why did they have to kill him? Why?
Anyway, Tavia found out that Steven lie to her and left him. He tried to look for her but he couldn't find her anywhere. There is a flood from where Steven were living, and Tavia's brother told Steven that Tavia have return. Running in the flood while searching for Tavia, he finally found her. She forgive him.
Tavia were floating on the Silk Factory sign while Steven hold onto the sign to paddle it to the land, one of the tree trunk hit his head and he drown while there were flashback of him and Tavia then he woke up and he was ok again. Another tree trunk hit his head and he drifted away from Tavia.
FOUR YEARS LATER, there were no news of Steven. However the silk factory were running really well, and we know that Tavia had a son with Steven. While sailing on the river, she saw Steven, she and her son quickly run after Steven, shouting out his name.
Tavia run to him and hug him, but he didn't remember her. My heart sank again.
The son start to sing a song and Tavia sing along, it is Steven and Tavia's love song. He takes out his flute and play the melody to it. He turn to look at her. THE END.
Umm.. Is this a happy ending? Does this mean he remembers her? Does it?
I really love this drama. Love Stevia!
By the way, love the sub-theme Thinking of You by Jinny Ng as it play in Steven and Tavia's scenes!

Outbound Love Review
Picture from: tvb.com
This drama would have to be my favourite drama yet.
The storyline of the drama is good and the scenery is beautiful.
The story is about Aimee Chan's character dating Matt Yeung's character and they were happily dating for a year. Matt propose to Aimee at a very pretty place somewhere in Malaysia. She said yes.
As I was watching this scene, I'm thinking to myself Matt seem like an amazing guy, he have to do something terrible to hurt her so that she could meet Ruco.
Matt cheat on her with her best friend, Samantha Ko. Why? One mistakes cost Matt his love of his life.
In order to avoid Matt, she move to Malaysia and she met Ruco, a tour guide. At first she didn't like him because she thought he was bad person after all the ups and down she realize that he is actually a nice guy. She describe him as an onion because she can never know who he is. He is the son of a man that owe a coconut farm, a son to a woman in Hong Kong who is famous with her cooking and he is Elaine Yiu ex-boyfriend. Elaine is a singer that Aimee adore. Elaine is the one that have hurt Ruco. Ruco is a composer who compose and write the lyrics to Aimee favourite song perform from Elaine.
Aimee eventually grew fond of Ruco. The cute coconut drinks that they drink outside at the bench near Aimee's house in Hong Kong, the durian kiss, the purple hairpin and her bracelet. They were so cute together, but it make it more difficult when Ruco is actually best friend with Matt. And Matt would do anything to be with Aimee again. He help her solve all the problems in her home. He would wait for her.
In the end, Aimee give Matt a second chance. But she couldn't forget that fact that he have cheat on her with her best friend that she have put a GPS on his phone to know where he is, she even follow him to the hotel thinking that he is cheating on her with Samantha, but the truth is he is organizing a surprise birthday party with her, he even plan to propose to her.
Ruco love Aimee but he is willingly to give up on her for his best friend, Matt because he believe that Aimee still loves Matt. However, at some point her heart have belong to Ruco.
Eventually Matt realize that Aimee loves Ruco and he let her go, even if it makes her have to hate him.
Ruco and Aimee met at Malaysia by fate and they begin to date.
Like Ruco said, "I don't love you," and Aimee reply, "I don't love you either,"
I think this drama is beautiful with the beautiful scenery and the storyline is wonderful and I enjoy this series a lot.
I like this song and the melody to it.
What are your thoughts of the drama?

Melon's top 4 drama of 2013
Hey guys,
I haven't been blogging lately especially reviewing on drama like I used to do.
Maybe because of the dramas that are airing aren't that appealing to me. I realize that I have skip a lot of drama than last year where I only skip one or two. This year I have skip 3 dramas : Karma Rider, Sniper Standoff and Beauty at War.
My top 4 TVB drama of the year
Starring: Tavia Yeung, Alex Fong, Yoyo Mung, Edwin Siu, Christine Kuo, Aimee Chan, Oscar Leung...
I have mention about this drama for about five time already about how much I really like the storyline. I like how the story relates to psychiatry, and how to solve the case through reading people behavior. The cases stand out to me a lot especially Tavia's case because it is believable that her father were alive and he is helping justice by 'getting rid of' the bad people. And as the case slowly tell me that Tavia's dad have died 1 year ago and Tavia have only image in it all this time because she is sick with a sickness call schizophrenia. In other words, Tavia is the one that have done all the wrong things. The ending shock me the most, Tavia realize that she have done the bad things and while trying to escape she shoot herself in the head. I realize that moment Tavia's character have change a lot. At the start of the drama, she play as an undercover police, then she became a policeman again and became a nice person and then in the end she became someone unrecognizable.
2. A Change of Heart
Starring: Michael Mui, Bosco Wong, Niki Chow, Joey Mung, Mandy Wong, Vincent Wong, Eliane Yiu, JJ Jia, Benjamin Yeun....
I like the storyline of this drama. It is fresh and different from the same TVB storyline lately that are airing.
Michael used to be mean and selfish businessman but has change since he has a change of heart from the doctor Bosco. It is sad watching the doctor Bosco died because he is a good character and he were going to married Niki but he died and of course the famous smiling cloud.
Bosco's twin brother return to Hong Kong and soon enough he has change too. He change from someone who only think about him to someone who care about others. I'm glad that Bosco and Niki got married in the end. Also I like the ending of this drama. The ending when Joey Mung return from a few months with plastic surgery that look exactly like Niki because she thought Michael love Niki but really he only love Joey. Joey love her husband so much that she risk her life to save his. In the end, Michael became an eggplant farmer and meet a primary school teacher with a look-a-like to his wife, Joey.
3. Triumph in the Skies 2
Starring: Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Him Law, Myolie Wu, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, Elena Kong, Adrian Chau....
I have review on the drama and so I won't say much here. I like Ron and Myolie a lot in this drama because they are so cute.
Watching this drama makes me want to be pilot and make me wonder what the feeling of flying in the sky is like. It make me understand how flying a plane is so difficult to understand and very professional especially when the pilot uniform and the hat make the pilot look so charming (Ron, Him, Kenneth). I don't remember much about the first season of this drama but I like this one a lot because of the Pre-Pilot-Project. It make me want to buy an airplane ticket and fly around the world especially England, France and Taiwan. (The countries they film in). The scenery looks very beautiful. TVB should make more drama like this one. I heard that they will make a movie version for this drama. Filming will begin next year in January or so. I'm looking forward to the movie.
4. Always and Ever
Starring: Bobby Au Yeung, Ester Kwan, Mandy Wong, Derek Kwok, Benjamin Yeun, Christine Kuo, Adrian Chau...
I like this drama because of three lifetime of love story between Bobby and Ester. Every time Bobby would accidentally kill Ester and he would travel back in time to the dynasty as Circle King, a man that has a moon on his forehead. I heard that he is a legend.
Bobby meet a scholar that looks like Ester from the modern world which he has time travel to the dynasty. He try to tell her that he is from the modern world and that she is his girlfriend but she doesn't believe him. Eventually, she did and Bobby teach her how to make a mattress, a musical box and how to use CPR. Again, he kill her by accidentally and he travel to Hong Kong in 1950's. This time he is a policeman that take people tax money. Ester is female gang leader. After twist and turn, he kill her and travel back to modern world. Ester is alive and she knows about the three lifetime death curse, and the only way to end it is to make the person that hate them most to stop hating them which in this case is old Mandy. Mandy did get her revenge but she feel guilty.
What I like most is that all the cast from the dynasty and the 1950's in Hong Kong return in the modern world as someone else. Bobby keep on calling their name from the previous lives. In the end, the curse is lift and they lived happily ever after.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I couldn't come up with another drama that I like yet which is why it is top 4 not 5. These drama are the drama that stand out to me from the rest of the other drama throughout the year so far. I know that On Call 36 2 would soon released on TVB channel. I'm looking forward to On Call, I hope that it would still be as good as the first one or maybe better. I have high expectation for On Call 36 2.
I haven't been blogging lately especially reviewing on drama like I used to do.
Maybe because of the dramas that are airing aren't that appealing to me. I realize that I have skip a lot of drama than last year where I only skip one or two. This year I have skip 3 dramas : Karma Rider, Sniper Standoff and Beauty at War.
My top 4 TVB drama of the year
- A Great Way To Care 2
Starring: Tavia Yeung, Alex Fong, Yoyo Mung, Edwin Siu, Christine Kuo, Aimee Chan, Oscar Leung...
I have mention about this drama for about five time already about how much I really like the storyline. I like how the story relates to psychiatry, and how to solve the case through reading people behavior. The cases stand out to me a lot especially Tavia's case because it is believable that her father were alive and he is helping justice by 'getting rid of' the bad people. And as the case slowly tell me that Tavia's dad have died 1 year ago and Tavia have only image in it all this time because she is sick with a sickness call schizophrenia. In other words, Tavia is the one that have done all the wrong things. The ending shock me the most, Tavia realize that she have done the bad things and while trying to escape she shoot herself in the head. I realize that moment Tavia's character have change a lot. At the start of the drama, she play as an undercover police, then she became a policeman again and became a nice person and then in the end she became someone unrecognizable.
2. A Change of Heart
Starring: Michael Mui, Bosco Wong, Niki Chow, Joey Mung, Mandy Wong, Vincent Wong, Eliane Yiu, JJ Jia, Benjamin Yeun....
I like the storyline of this drama. It is fresh and different from the same TVB storyline lately that are airing.
Michael used to be mean and selfish businessman but has change since he has a change of heart from the doctor Bosco. It is sad watching the doctor Bosco died because he is a good character and he were going to married Niki but he died and of course the famous smiling cloud.
Bosco's twin brother return to Hong Kong and soon enough he has change too. He change from someone who only think about him to someone who care about others. I'm glad that Bosco and Niki got married in the end. Also I like the ending of this drama. The ending when Joey Mung return from a few months with plastic surgery that look exactly like Niki because she thought Michael love Niki but really he only love Joey. Joey love her husband so much that she risk her life to save his. In the end, Michael became an eggplant farmer and meet a primary school teacher with a look-a-like to his wife, Joey.
3. Triumph in the Skies 2
Starring: Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Him Law, Myolie Wu, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, Elena Kong, Adrian Chau....
I have review on the drama and so I won't say much here. I like Ron and Myolie a lot in this drama because they are so cute.
Watching this drama makes me want to be pilot and make me wonder what the feeling of flying in the sky is like. It make me understand how flying a plane is so difficult to understand and very professional especially when the pilot uniform and the hat make the pilot look so charming (Ron, Him, Kenneth). I don't remember much about the first season of this drama but I like this one a lot because of the Pre-Pilot-Project. It make me want to buy an airplane ticket and fly around the world especially England, France and Taiwan. (The countries they film in). The scenery looks very beautiful. TVB should make more drama like this one. I heard that they will make a movie version for this drama. Filming will begin next year in January or so. I'm looking forward to the movie.
4. Always and Ever
Starring: Bobby Au Yeung, Ester Kwan, Mandy Wong, Derek Kwok, Benjamin Yeun, Christine Kuo, Adrian Chau...
I like this drama because of three lifetime of love story between Bobby and Ester. Every time Bobby would accidentally kill Ester and he would travel back in time to the dynasty as Circle King, a man that has a moon on his forehead. I heard that he is a legend.
Bobby meet a scholar that looks like Ester from the modern world which he has time travel to the dynasty. He try to tell her that he is from the modern world and that she is his girlfriend but she doesn't believe him. Eventually, she did and Bobby teach her how to make a mattress, a musical box and how to use CPR. Again, he kill her by accidentally and he travel to Hong Kong in 1950's.

My Favourite TVB characters' couples
*if that make sense
The following couple listed are from dramas that I've seen this year and completely adore them.
Kenneth Ma and Tavia Yeung
The Hippocratic Crush
Kenneth played the doctor character quite splendid. I would have to say this is his breakthrough role. I really like the part when Kenneth mention one of Tavia's quote that she mention in her love letters to him. It is so cute; proves that he read her letters. My other part is when Tavia confess to Kenneth because there was a cake that had the words 'I love you' and she thought that Kenneth was confessing his feeling to her. Turn out it wasn't. The part when he pre-propose to her was a big hit, his words are so touching. Their first dates was so cute. I love this couple and can't wait until The Hippocratic Crush 2 is out. I also love the theme song by Joey Yung!
Raymond Wong and Nikki Chow
Bottled Passion
I love the plot of this drama. It was so addictive. I absolute love it when Raymond made his master revenge on the family that had ruins his life when he was little while he was searching milk-lolly girl. I love the love story between Li How (Raymond Wong's character) and milk lolly girl. It's good to know that Raymond Wong's is nominated for Glove Come Off and Nikki Chow is nominated for her milk lolly girl role! I also love the theme song by Teresa Chueng
Linda Chung and Bosco Wong
Witness Insecurity
Bosco is so cute in this series! Always love his acting! Linda and Bosco are so cute as a couple even though they didn't officially dated in the series. I didn't like the tragic ending though. They were forbidden to be together; just when they finally can be together he died! The Most Happy Thing by Linda Chung suits the drama a lot!
Kenny Wong and Aimee Chan
The Last Steep Ascent
I love this couple right now! Kenny is so good for her. He would leave everything behind for her, so that she wouldn't have to commit suicide. When Aimee moved to the big town, Kenny would often bough her flowers (she likes the smell of it). They were seen as cousin around other people eyes because they couldn't really let everyone know who Aimee true identity is. Aimee really likes Kenny and I know Kenny feel the same way towards her. I'm up to eps 23 now! Can't wait until this couple spark! (To know more about the series read my drama review above)
Him Law and Mandy Wong
Diva in Distress
They're the reason why I watch this drama in the first place! I love how Him is so mean and cool around Mandy. Mandy is so adorable in this drama! They have collide together for 5 series already!
And that is it!
Drama I am currently watching:
The Last Steep Ascent
Silver Spoon Sterling Shackles
Drama I am waiting for release (You might have seen it but I haven't yet)
The Confidant- 45th Anniversary drama!

My favourite dramas of 2012 are...
Bottled Passion
Starring: Raymond Wong, Nikki Chow...
I love the story about revenge. It's fresh and so exciting to watch. I really love how loyal Raymond is to Milk lolly girl (Nikki). He waited for her ten years after ten years. Just when they finally reunited again, he died. I really love this drama.
The Hippocratic Crush
Starring: Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Mandy Wong...
Finally, a medical drama. Love this drama. I love how it focus on the medical stuff while making it exciting at the same time. I also love how Tavia write letters to Kenneth. Especially when the pre-proposal in eps 24. So cute.
Witness Insecurity
Starring: Linda Chung, Bosco Wong...
Although I haven't finished watching this drama yet, but I already love the storyline. I really love how Bosco and Linda love story is so deep yet their forbidden to be together. I really hope that their relationship will last instead of Bottled Passion.
Three Kingdom RPG
Starring: Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam...
I haven't finish this drama either, but I really like how TVB has fresh storyline to their drama now. I like how Kenneth from the modern time accidentally travel back into the Three Kingdom period. I love Kenneth and Tavia as a couple. So I like how they once again get to play as a couple in this drama.
Tiger Cubs
Another drama I haven't completed. Although lately the eps are quite boring me but the storyline is fresh. The format of the theme song is very new. Each eps will have a few seconds during the theme song showing the audience what is going to happen in the eps, which is something not like TVB. I really how TVB seems to step out of their comfort zone and had produce fresh and exciting dramas.
