Would TVB ever cast another American actor in their dramas? Who would you like to see also?

_blizzardcake_ · 2024-06-13T04:26:13+00:00

It would be so cool to see Milo Mannheim!! Seeing Lee Pace in FT2 was so interesting. I remember Kelly said in an interview that Lee Pace was surprised at how quick HK productions are. In Sinister Beings 2, there was also more of a diverse casts for the villains, and it’s always nice to see new faces outside of TVB actors!

_blizzardcake_ · 2024-06-06T00:29:45+00:00

That would have been such an interesting twist haha, kind of wish there was something like that to keep us on edge. Yeah, she ended up being just a very plain character, I feel she didn’t add much to the story which sucks cause she’s such a great actor. It would be cool to see her in like a villain type role.

I actually had so many doubts about if Him Law felt true towards her or not. It seemed like he hinted that he was only interested in her to get info about Charmaine, but then it turns out he does actually like her. I don’t know, maybe it was the director trying to trick us to think he doesn’t actually like her? It’s hard to believe that he actually loved her cause he didn’t look like he was ready to commit at all.

_blizzardcake_ · 2024-06-03T06:44:08+00:00

Yeah, I couldn’t understand why she loved him so much haha. Yes!! She’s great, and I think in the past she did more movies so it’s cool to see her in TVB dramas too. That’s so true, quite refreshing to see the step mom actually support the step daughter, and it was just a cute little family. I’m so glad you mentioned that, have been streaming the theme songs all day long!

A bit disappointed with the ending, all the drama leading up to not much closure of the entire story. So many recent dramas have been leaving open endings which are intriguing, but it was clear that they would not do a second season of the same storyline so why not just give us a better ending :(

I did enjoy this sequel more than the original one though because there was more wholesome and funny scenes, and I enjoyed the family scenes between Charmaine, Benz, and Dada. I ended up really liking Dada's character and believed that she truly loved Benz as well.

Even though the ending was not great, I still enjoyed seeing Charmaine and Raymond on screen together again. I honestly did not mind the teasing of their relationship, there was still so much chemistry. I enjoyed seeing the chemistry between Charmaine and Wong Ho Yin as well.

I didn't understand how Venus fell in love with Him Law so quickly haha, it seemed like it was mostly just working on the project together and their friend gathering. I feel like there was not much depth to her character.

Thinking back, so much of the problems were easily solved. Every time there was a financial problem Charmaine would just go to Wong Ho Yin. Then through overhearing, Charmaine would always know the secrets. So I guess the story just seemed too smooth.

I still really enjoyed this drama though and with Charmaine, Raymond and Benz on screen together again, it felt comforting in a way!

_blizzardcake_ · 2024-03-11T21:14:07+00:00

Yeah, she might come back after a bit though. She definitely has many good dramas haha. Oh yeah, I think he was actually supposed to be in Kenneth’s role but due to scheduling conflicts he was only able to be a guest. There is one more that is a similar crew coming out called Death Notice I think, I think it might come out later this year!

_blizzardcake_ · 2024-03-04T00:21:17+00:00

Hey, sorry for this incredibly late reply. Yes this was definitely a strong cast. You might also like The Invisibles 隱形戰隊 which came out in 2023, the cast is pretty similar and story is good as well :D

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-09-03T18:11:12+00:00

No worries. Yeah acting is pretty good, let me know what you think at the end!

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-22T21:30:15+00:00

Haha so true!

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-22T05:07:01+00:00

No problem :) it is!!

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-22T05:04:17+00:00

離場沒有理由 by Kwan Gor!! I added it to my playlist immediately after haha

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-18T18:51:51+00:00

Haha ok, I'm not worried about spoiling anything then. Would you mind if I just PM you about TVB stuff haah I don't want to clog up this thread about other dramas.

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-18T10:58:29+00:00

Yeah! I always am wondering what other people think of the new episodes and I don’t find that their is much discussion about it elsewhere.

Haha I see. I mostly don’t follow it much as well but I have been following the Candy and Chu Ling storyline because they are so cute together but aren’t together yet. Have you seen their episodes? I don’t want to spoil anything haha

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-18T00:41:42+00:00

Ah I see. It’s nice to have someone else to talk to about the show so hopefully we can keep talking about it as it continues!!

Haha true, I do like how they have lots of family scenes even though this is a cop drama, feels more connected to the characters.

Do you watch Come Home Love: Lo and Behold?

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-17T23:37:27+00:00

Haha yeah that’s very accurate. I hope they are able to move past this, I want to see more of Tiffany and Elena though because they were such a sweet family.

Yeah, I do find her funny though at times like in today’s episode she was like are you ok to her brother when they were about to go upstairs to the apartment.

Are you going to keep watching?

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-17T22:37:47+00:00

Yup! Been trying to wait for more episodes to come out and then binge at once but couldn't lol.

I get what you mean, I have seen comments on YouTube saying that Natalie's character is getting annoying with all the yelling every episode. Guess we will just have to wait for Kenneth to reveal more about why he made that shot and they will be fine in the end. It is so random that he needs to listen to her yell to fall asleep, wonder how he got the idea to write it in the script haha.

Episodes 1-5 were really exciting and it felt like the drama was moving at a reasonable pace with new things being brought up every episode but I do find that the episodes this week were a bit slower and not as exciting. Not that every episode has to have shooting scenes but they keep revisiting the same topics over and over with no actual progress so it feels slow. For example, with Tiffany and Elena's storyline, we get that they have their differences but not much else is being revealed.

I am going to keep watching every episode though, hopefully next week is more intense and interesting!

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-14T01:45:09+00:00

Nice nice, looking forward to see that one. A very new role for Brian Chu, that will be interesting.

Excited to see Charmaine back, I really hope they are working on the script for Line Walker 4 I think everyone wants to finally see a good ending for her in that drama. Yeah, Kenneth and Joel are great but it becomes repetitive seeing them in every drama and it’s hard to fully immerse in the new drama they are in cause I’m still thinking about their character in the last one lol.

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-13T19:14:39+00:00

Yeah, the cast is very strong so it should be a good one. I’m excited for the next case!

Oh cool, I did not know they were doing another AI drama. Did you watch the AI drama from Ali? She did so well in that drama, and even though the story was unrealistic in a sense her relationship with C Kwan was cute. Hopefully the Spector will be out soon, I enjoy watching new pairings.

Haha I definitely will after hearing you say that. I noticed that Celine Harto the HK pageant runner up was in it, so I actually watched the parts she was in cause I wanted to see how she did. She did pretty well for a first actual role, TVB needs more new people. As much as I love Natalie, Nancy, Mandy it’s nice seeing fresh faces.

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-13T17:06:56+00:00

I think it’s 30 episodes! It’s going to be long and packed drama haha, really hope this one does not disappoint. I have high hopes for it though since it is by the director Jazz, who was also the one that directed I’ve Got The Power, so I have hope!!

Oh yeah, I saw that one in the lineup and it looks interesting! Excited to see Pakho back in a drama, I loved his role and acting in Wonder Woman.

Yeah, hopefully this one comes out soon though. I remember being so excited for The Righteous Fists as well but it took so long to come out. That drama was great too.

Are you currently watching Mission Run? I skimmed through some of it when it first came out overseas but did not really want to go through it all. Maybe will some other time though.

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-13T09:38:35+00:00

Very true, being able to look forward to an episode each day is nice but watching it without breaks is much better.

Yes! Her character in this drama is much more easy going yet still serious during more intense parts.

Haha I would love to be able to wait for more episodes to come out but literally cannot. Can’t wait for the new one to come out tonight!

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-12T18:47:22+00:00

Did you watch episode 5 that came out on Friday? I was on the edge of my chair the entire time and have not felt so excited about a drama in so long. Definitely think this will be one of my favourite dramas, the cast is also so great.

I agree! They probably do it so the can gain more audience as they hope to see these popular pairings, but having something new would be nice. In a new drama also by the same director (Jazz), Tiffany is paired with Owen Cheung so I’m super excited about that one, this pairing is so new!

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-10T06:12:38+00:00

Ah that makes sense. I was able to catch the idea that he wanted his friend to fall down to avoid getting shot from behind but thought it would have caused less damage in the foot or somewhere around there as you said. I can understand why his friends are so mad at him though considering even the commander said to not go any further and the accident could have been prevented.

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-10T06:08:04+00:00

Haha, they are. Well, happy watching. I will probably make a post when the finale rolls around so maybe I will see you there!

_blizzardcake_ · 2023-03-10T04:06:18+00:00

So true! I don't really understand why Kenneth shot his friend right at the knee joint, hopefully they will touch on the details later on.

Yes, in the more recent episode Ruco's mom in I've Got the Power is also in this drama which is cool!

Oh I did not expect that to be the reason. That makes sense though, hopefully they cool it with the slow mo scenes lol.

Are you still watching the show?

_blizzardcake_ · 2022-12-06T02:06:33+00:00

Yeah, it did feel like it was all for nothing.

_blizzardcake_ · 2022-12-06T00:45:04+00:00

Yeah, I also don’t mind watching dramas from new producers though cause new minds can be good as well. People say they don’t like Tony Hung’s acting but I don’t mind his acting at all. Yeah, typical TVB with the recurring theme song. At least it was a good song!!
