2009 Series Short Review
Didn't watch: In The Chamber Of Bliss
Still Watching: Beyond The Realm Of Conscience (6 eps to go) and Born Rich (heaps to go)

Rosy Business: This was definitely a good series with the highest ratings this year, or maybe second since I heard BTROC's ratings went peaking 52. The cast is appealing and has portrayed their role well. Wayne and Sheren definitely shined in this series.

Beyond The Realm Of Conscience: Haven't yet finished this but nearly. This is one good series which shall win Best Drama this year. Tavia's first villian role, she played evilly inside, totally changed her character from good to evil while Charmaine is always good. Again, the cast is appealing, much more appealing than RB too. Tavia's evilness is actually just reality, many people in life are like that.

Born Rich: Haven't yet finished this either. This series isn't too bad nor good. It's funny at times, especially at the beginning but it gets much ore serious throughout the middle. Seeing Gallen changes slowly trying to climb up, his relationship with Anita and Joe, they're all quite interesting but you have to admit, there are boring times...

You're Hired: This is a very good comedy drama. Loved it. Though I recon you can't really say there's a supporting cast other than Teresa. Everyone disappears after their little story. Anyway, this series was just really funny, many scenes crackled me up laughing sooo much.

E.U: I wasn't going to put E.U in this category but then I thought, this year I have so less 'the good' might as well put it in since E.U wasn't a bad series either. Ron has improved a lot in this series, Michael M was interesting to watch where Michael T's undercover identity was totally shocking. This series is full of suprises and interest.

I have a lot of 'the okay' this year.

Pages Of Treasure: This series was really just OKAY. Wayne's character wasn't much special, just his usual roles except that he was the main character this time. I think this story is very peaceful like, only little problems.

Sweetness In The Salt: This wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Steven and Tavia's relationship started before already. I like watching ones how they meet and etc but I guess this series isn't based on romance, but more about salt. But I don't really like this series.

The Winter Melon Tale: It was good at the beginning, this isn't a bad series but definitely boring if you re-watch. Firstly the cast isn't appealing, secondly the plot is kinda weird and maybe a bit stupid... no offense, I think many people have same thought.

A Bride For A Ride: I anticipated for this, it was one funny series. But some scenes are just weird, like how Chin Ka Lot was swing his hair... unnecessary... I dislike those 'singing' scenes, they're trying to make it sound funny but it seriously fails to. I liked the beginning the most, quite interesting and funny. Lee Kwok Lun was one funny character, loved the end part too, the VERY end with all three paires of them getting married.

Man In Charge: Ah this series was funny too, I liked it a lot. Just sad that Kate dies in the end. Kenneth's character was funny here, liked Leila too. Really not much to say about this, but it was good after all.

The Stew Of Life: I never made a review of this series, I totally forgot and I couldn't be bothered afterwards, If i have time and CAN be bothered, then I might. Anyway, this series was long, I don't think they had to make it 30 eps really... I enjoyed watching Fala scenes. Rest was boring... Christine was okay too.

Just love II: This series was okay. Not bad, I anticipated for it because Selena was in it. Too bad she was only a guestrole. Nothing much to comment about.

The King of Snooker: This was okay too, well all of them were okay. This series made me wanted to play Snooker a lot. Same happened to my friend. I'd like to try it some day.

D.I.E Again: It wasn't TOO disappointing like other sequels. This one is actually quite okay. Unlikes BF3 =.=" Liked the addition of Macy and Him Law into the D.I.E crew. Law Sir was one funny character too, so is Ko Sir!! XDD

The Greatness Of A Hero: Warehoused... wasn't THAT bad.. why'd they warehouse it. Though I didn't watch the FULL thing... it wasn't too bad but I didn't like it.

A Great Way to Care: I think this one was good, why'd they warehouse THIS? But Kate and Alex.. LOL... Age difference.. I enjoyed watching Raymond Wong and Vivien Yeo and most! XD

The Gem Of Life: I was gonna put this in the okay but then I thought, it wasn't that good and less the bad so I decided to put it in ^^ LOL. I actually missed a lot of episodes in between... But I don't think I'll still like the series...

The Threshold Of Persona: BORING BORING BORING!!! Can't believe it.. why are all the boring series so llooonnnggg?!??!? This AND BF3... =.="

Burning Flames III: As I said before, this is a very very boring series to me. They totally stuffed this up. Wong Hei's character is fully crapped up.

A Chip Off The Old Block

Name: A Chip Off The Old Block
Episodes: 21
Genre: Family, Pre-modern
Cast: Ron Ng, Sunny Chan, Myolie Wu, Shirley Yeung etc
Synopsis:
As the proverb said ""With a distinguished father such as you, the son is sure to do well". However, for this pair of Father and son, it is quite difficult because both of them have different characters, different way of doing things and even their life goals are totally different from each other. Father, Chor Fan (Sunny Chan) has feelings of a man in the 60s, Son, Chor Ci (Ron Ng) finds that he is too slow as compared to others who are living in the 21st Century. A comedy which shows a travel in time. The circumstances that happen will not only cause positive aftertaste, but allows one to think about the meaning behind 'There's no inborn talent to become a powerful person overnight; A good man should work hard and stand up strong on his own feet'.
Chor Ci from the 21st Century went back in time to the 60s when his father was in his youth. Father and Son became best of brothers. Chor Fan sheltered Chor Ci and Chor Ci came to know the stingy boss of the Noodle Stall Ko San Chuen (David Chiang), the fierce landlady Tam Lan Ching (Gigi Wong), Bickering Lover Ching Lan Fun (Shirley Yeung) and the rich young lady Leung Pin Pin (Nancy Wu). Chor Ci offended many people and seldom greet others. Hence, he wasn't well liked by many other neighbours such as the police sergeant Ngau Ching Wing (Louis Yuen). There is only Chor Fan who protects him all the time and even introduced him to work at a departmental store. However, Chor Ci, who is over ambitious, only knows how to blame his father for being too old-fashioned and allows others to take advantage of him. Chor Ci almost caused many other neighbours to lose their homes. Chor Ci also spoilt his father's relationship with the con-lady So Fung Nei (Myolie Wu). When he started to regret his actions, he realised that he is actually.....

My Comments: Anticipated for this~ But since I'm going overseas soon, I might not be able to watch it yet. Probably when I'm back if I download it before I go.
Vote Selena

Haha Random, I did this last year too for Selena getting nominated Most Improved. Hoping everyone would vote and support Selena. This year, just a little different. Shes nominated in Best Supporting instead. Hope everyone would vote for Selena!

Here's the post I made last year @ http://simply-tvb.blogspot.com/2008/11/support-selena.html
Beyond The Realm Of Conscience Ep 15
BEYOND THE REALM OF CONSCIENCE EP 15

WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

NOTE: I DECIDED TO SKIP TO EP 15 WHERE SELENA APPEARS WHICH I THINK THE SERIES GETS MORE INTERESTING.

Tavia tells Sam Ho that she fell in love with someone. Just then, Mary Hon the Grand Empress I think you call it (Tai Hou) The emperors mother. And she guesses its Moses.

Moses decided to make Tavia a concubine after Sam Ho telling Moses that Tavia likes him. But Ma Yuen Zi (Lee Kwok Lun) comes and wrecks everything, he wants his god daughter (Selena, Mang Bo Yin) to be a concubine. Then Moses decided to not talk abt this topic.

Moses kinda used Tavia to show Ma Yuen Zi that the emperor is trying to not care abt anything but girls O.o It's a plan from the emperor.

SELENA'S APPEARANCE!!
Selena talks to Tavia, she tells Tavia to help her repair her hair accesories. And kinda tells her off.

I think Tavia looks very pretty here. ^^ Esp where she smiles and replies but didn't get a screenshot of it.

Ep 16 to come...

Anniversary Gala Fashion Rating
Alphabetical Order (A - Y)

TVB 42nd Anniversary Gala Fashion Ratings!

Aimee Chan
The dress is really... Dunno, makes her look very evil-ish. I really don't like this look of her, especially her make up.

4/10

Angela Tong
Angela's dress and accessories are very nice, it looks great on her, looks very cool. Her hairstyle suits it too. This is one of the best dress out of all ^^

10/10

Bernice Liu
The dress looks okay to me. It's quite sexy. Suits Bernice I guess

6/10

Charmaine Li
This dress is also very sexy, it looks nice but I'm not a fan of green. The hair is nice though. She should wear some necklace, it looks very plain like that.

6/10

Christine Ng
The dress is... okay? O.o Dun really like it, especially the hairstyle too. Though the necklace suits the dress.

5/10

Fala Chen
I dun really like this dress. I don't really like the colour. Surprisingly this year Fala isn't as sexy as years before. It's totally covered. I dun really like the hairstyle either. And a watch? O.o

6/10

Kate Tsui
No... No... No... Hair.. Neck thingy.... Dress... Hairstyle....NO! All NOO!! The worst... esp that hairstyle and the neck thingy.

1/10

Koni Lui
This dress suits Koni a lot. I quite like it too. Though I don't really like the bottom half which this picture doesn't show. The hairstyle and necklace suits it quite well.

8/10

Leanne Li
This dress is pretty much the same as Linda's one. Except that they have different colours. But I'll have to say this colour is better. But what's with the bottom part of the dress? It's.. wrinkled? Or is it supose to be like that? Necklace isn't too bad, very simple indeed.

8/10

Linda Chung
Yes, I think the dress looks like Leanne's. I don't like hot pink. And I think Linda's look isn't very... yea... I like other looks of Linda more. LOL But its not TOO bad after all.

7/10

Macy Chan
I like the hairstyle, it suits Macy so much, so cute! XD The dress is OKAY i guess?

6/10

Michelle Yim
I don't like it...

6/10

Myolie Wu
I don't like the fur but the dress is nice. But then maybe it won't look good without the fur

7/10

Nancy Wu
All Nancy's dresses are like that? O.o Like the one last year from awards ceremony, they're all very like BIG on the ends very baggy... I dun really like this one either.

5/10

Natalie Tong
I like the dress, very simple and nice. But I don't like her short hair. I just really DON'T like short hair. Esp THIS short.

7/10

Shirley Yeung
I don't like the hair but the dress is nice. Once again, Shirley always have these type of dresses too? Shows the back.. etc? The 9 is for the dress, not the hairstyle included.

9/10

Sonija Kwok
Sonija looks very nice in this dress. I really like it. I like this colour, the top bit is very nice too. Btw, I thought Sonija has short hait?

10/10

Susanna Kwan
I like the colours of this dress. very nice. The necklace doesn't really suit it though.

8/10

Tracy Ip
Not too bad. Everything suits her. I saw this on the newspaper, in the entertainment section. I think they were saying how Tracy appeared really sexy? I was thinking, don't they have someone ELSE to talk about? Since Tracy isn't that popular and her picture was huge too.

8/10

Yoyo Mung
I like this dress but I don't like the colour. It'd probably be better if it was another colour.

7/10

They're all short comments, I will do some for Awards Ceremony, I love doing these HAHA XD

Warning, May Contain Spoilers

Susan the Grand Express decides to move Sam Ho from the clothing section to the hair accessory section with Susanna. She will also replace June's place.

Susanna finds out herself that it was Tavia who did all that stuff to make June leave.

Tavia thought she would replace June but instead Sam Ho did. She is sad but she knows she should b happy for Sam Ho.

On the other hand, Charmaine hurts her leg, Moses passes by and founds her. She kinds finds out Moses is pretending to be dumb. Then KC comes and takes her away.

Susanna had an idea for some event and was going to tell Choi Sheung Gong but then Michelle found the idea and told Choi Sheung Gong before Susanna can. Susanna was sure it wasn't Sam Ho who told her. She was suspecting Gam Ling and Gam Ling passes by and heard it.

Moses pretends to have some illness and wants to get away from the palace and live peacefully with his mother in the outside world. He reveals to Sam Ho that he was pretending to be stupid the whole time.

Susan the Grand Empress gives Moses and his mother some medicine, but infact some poison which MAY heal their illness, but they know they don't have any illness, which will kill them if they drink it. The servant comes in and tells them to drink it.
