Prepping…

我其實好抗拒文初戲,因為我覺得次次都是描述… one of the most desperate, darkest and corrupt times in Chinese history.  But I guess that’s what make stories interesting, where in the mist of this turbulent era, heroes and heroines are made.  Like most people who know me, they know that 義海豪情 is definitely not my cup of tea.  However, it seems like all the beauties are up in a frenzy about this show… and to have at least some talking points or at least know what the conversation is about in the near future, I watched the first 3 episodes so far.  Ha!  Typical me, the character “排骨”is the one who caught my eye.  What an exasperatingly adorable  wimp!  Talk about being put into a world that is totally foreign to oneself and have no way of coping with the situation.  He has no idea how to cope, no clue as to what he should do, and no matter how hard he tries… he has no direction and seemingly no hope.  He kind of reminds me of the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz… definitely needing tons of courage or maybe someone closer to home, like a student going away for college… and finds himself just not the academic type but simply cannot let his family down.    Anyway, I’ve downloaded four and five…

    Kakakaka! You have no sympathy!! I don't imagine for one second that you don't have any idea what I am talking about. Imagine the horror of me nodding off in front of the beauties because I have no idea what they are gabbing about. Hahaha! At least this way, I have a clue. XDDD

    Yeah! Same here...Five!!
    義海豪情 is also not my cup of tea, but I watched the 1st 5 episode so I know what the beauties are up to....
    I also like the character of “排骨". When my mom watched the first episode, she said why all the main characters are so evil...

    Big innocent eyes?!? (with rolling eyes~)That image is... a "pk" Charmed, flat on her face! Kakaka!

    Yes, your Mom is right, the first 3 epis seems all the leads are "evil". Then when you hit 4 and 5, the male lead begins to show that he does have a heart of gold. The vast difference in the classes of their perception of "happiness", "family" or "success" is so predominantly contrasting in this series. To be poor but still have family and friends... sitting together at a big round table enjoying their dinner and laughing. Whereas the rich and powerful with their constant inner fighting and the feeling "唔係你死就我死". Interesting... but (shhhh...) cliche. I also like to wipe that smirk off of 九姑娘's face. Hahaha!

    Haha...judging from the 1st 5 episodes, I don't know if 九姑娘 is capable to make any other kind of facial expressions. She has never been my favorite actress anyway, no comparison to you know who.. XD

    Yup, yup.
    Not even when she was younger.
    The last show, I remember watching the 1st five minutes of the the 1st epi... then turned it off and never watched it again. And that was the one that they both got best actress/actor award on. xp!

    Haha! I suppose it was a very good script, but again, not my cup of tea. Compare to the so call newbies... she is actually good. Gawd, I can't bear to watch some of the other shows... xp! Bad script and bad actors/actresses. It's been predominant that TVB has always shoved whoever they like to make into a star down the audiences throats. I dare only to say it here too, but I feel an inkiling that I am getting myself into hot water... but that's ok, I like jacuzzis and hot springs. XDDD

    I totally agreed with your view..
    Haha! We better stop discussing this before we both get into hot water! I am so happy to find someone that agree with me...yeah!
    XDDD

    P.S. just came back from a halloween party.
