SOS- TVB A TIME OF LOVE MINI MOVIE

Its been a year since A TIME OF LOVE have been air ion tv and I need your help please. Do you guys know where they have this in English sub because I really want to watch this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Its been a while since I've post something here but maybe that's because I don't watched TVB dramas anymore. I've found that only one or two TVB dramas that grab my attention, Brick Slaves and Under the Veil. Not sure if I should write a review on it, lemme know if you're interested.

Last year Myolie tied the knot with Phillip Lee, and I couldn't be happier for her.

Its a bittersweet feeling for me to see Myolie and Kate leave TVB last year. A lot of actors and actresses that I grew up watching are leaving replacing them are the beauty pageants and its never gonna be the same again. I missed those good old days.

Nonetheless, just want to say thank you for still reading the posts.

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.

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.

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.

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

Written by Tang Chi Wai

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!
