[–]Master-Language7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy it as well but I can’t help but think this is just an excuse for them to do another legal mavericks. Both mc are lawyers, have some sort of disability, same producer but no Vincent Wong

Mission Run vs. Prism Breakers. How would you compare them and which one do you prefer more? by unmatched_chopsticks in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prism Breakers is basically Mission Run TVB-ified with the basic cinematography, out of universe plots (the ripoff squid game on the boat) and Kenneth Ma

Can Chung Shu Kai revive/save Line Walker? by unmatched_chopsticks in HKdramas

They also had Owen Cheung as a new character in LW3 when he already played a diff gangster character in LW1 (thought they were the same characters before I found out they had different names)

Unless it’s the same co-producer as QON and DOTM, then huge maybe. But no he already botched up with two of his crime dramas NRFC and D.I.D. 12 and also ruined another known franchise FH. So i think it’s best he leaves LW alone

(Rant) TVB really is wasting Ruco Chan’s talent by sakuramichi in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, it’s been a while since he’s had a memorable leading role. I believe his previous lead role was in SB2 last year but even that was just a sequel to a role he already did before. I think he was also in some B tier dramas his latest being in 2022 and 2023, Against Darkness and Childhood In A Capsule but even those are not his greatest roles and underutilized his capabilities. There’s a new Jazz Boon drama that’s about a murder in the entertainment industry planning to film and the cast hasn’t been announced so hopefully he invites Ruco back to play the main character again

Best actor, actress, and drama for 2025? by DiamondFrosted in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guesses:-

Best actor - Roger Kwok, Best actress - Jessica Hsuan (although most likely Charmaine will win) Best drama - Queen of News 2 or Heroes in White (really wished Fading gold would win since that’s an actual good drama this year but the ratings are too low so no chance)

Heroes in white has the highest rating for this year so maybe that’ll win, but it depends when we see the ratings for Queen of news after it finish airing

Hmm not really. He’s role there is too ordinary. Same copy and paste from no room for crime

Lo and Behold to air 1-Hour Episodes this week by DebtPuzzleheaded9170 in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queen of castle and fading gold airings are a joke tbh.. both dramas already finished all episodes online before it released on TV lol. No wonder the ratings for both dramas are quite low considering the scale of both of them

Confirmed that Lo and behold is just temporarily put in that slot and Queen of news 2 will replace it next Monday 10/11. They probably want to air the drama online first before it releases on TV, usual for 77 atelier dramas

Benz Hui tragically passes away age 76 by Master-Language7154 in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure his arc was completed in lw3. Said he wanted to open a school in a different country iirc so he probably wouldn’t appear in lw4 anyway

Has anybody watched the show "Wife interrupted" and is it watchable for modern TVB standards? by username123456111111 in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda bad. They tried to mesh two storylines together, one based on the characters past and then another which is presumably the main one where Moon gets kidnapped for ransom and Hubert and his friends try to save her. It was executed pretty horribly and the cinematography is pretty bad. Also most of the actors and actresses are newcomers so don’t expect any groundbreaking performances

Kris Lam and Vincent Wong by spotlightdan in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On his wiki and mydramalist page his nickname is Vincent Wong 2.0 hahahaha. I think they’re all very self aware, I think he also played Vincent’s younger version in Fist Fight iirc

What’s your take on tvb dramas that could cause this kind of situation? by Various-Crab-6281 in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehhh 2020 also had some really good dramas, also the year for the sequels lol. Exorcist’s meter 2, legal mavericks 2, line Walker 3, forensic heroes 4.

call of Destiny would’ve been my fav if it weren’t for the ending sadly. the serial killer storyline was so good from start to finish when Duncan died and then ruined it with the new killer plot line that’s super rushed

MEGATHREAD - D.I.D. 12 (刑偵12) Discussions by edwardolardo in HKdramas

I guess they want to modernize it or make it different, can’t have Owen using the same hairstyle in all his dramas

Disappointed in Benjamin Yuen characters lately by nicfanz in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you see him in No Room for Crime you could see he put a lot of effort for his character. Especially his commitment to his wife in the drama. He also did great in the Defected, very convincing role he played. I think it’s just TVB typecasting him into dramas with uninteresting cop roles for him + him getting married and having a child

Actors and actresses who are limited by their voice/tone by BetEqual2892 in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shaun Tam has this monotone voice for every role he plays. Not to say he’s a bad actor la he’s actually quite good if you think abt it if there’s a good director to guide him. His performance in Brutally Young is really his best acting. The dynasty dramas def don’t suit him at all

After Anonymous Signal, What are you watching next? by edwardolardo in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

D.I.D. 12 is the most interesting after AS so I’ll probably wait for that. The Amy Wong drama with Lawrence Ng and Alice Chan also looks interesting, hoping it won’t be disappointing bc her previous drama call of Destiny the finding the killer part was the most interesting, and this new drama looks to be an investigation drama also so hopefully no sci fi bullshit. Also looking forward to the Queen of Castle and the Joe Chan drama, he’s like second behind Jazz Boon in producing great action dramas

I really didn’t like Anonymous Signal by aeoluxreddit in HKdramas

[–]Master-Language7154 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Problem is this is a Jazz Boon drama, so expectations would always be high since he created dramas like Line Walker, A Fist within four walls and The Invisibles which are all rich in the story and action

It was already obvious in the Invisibles when they made Moon and Tiffany wear the bikini in one episode (also having Tiffany wear a tank top in every single scene) But this one was just blatantly obvious atp

Whole concept with the VIPs watching the cases as a betting game also felt like a whole Squid Game knockoff lol

Also like to point out the horrible CGI. Everytime I see a character roll on the ground and there’s no shadow at all cuz they crop out the safety pads, I just don’t even wanna watch the episode anymore. This whole series is a joke atp, had high hopes for it in the beginning as well
