A summary and thoughts on the first three episode of 'Always and Ever'.  Though the series is rather dull as it goes on, things get to be a bit more exciting starting episode 7/8 and on.  Bobby's and Esther's chemistry is truly the limelight of the series haha
In episode one, Circle (Bobby Au Yeung) accidentally shot his beloved girlfriend, Phoenix (Esther Kwan).  At that moment, he was then transferred back in time where he becomes the famous Justice Bao.  While they did little to explain how he went back in time (I hope they will more towards the end), I still enjoyed it and found Bobby hilarious as Justice Bao.  It's also funny seeing how everybody thought that Justice Bao was possessed haha.
Still confused to why he was transported back in time, the now Justice Bao coincidentally bumps into a girl who looks exactly like Phoenix, Hon Sheung Sheung (also played by Esther Kwan).  Hon Sheung Sheung is the first woman minister appointed by the emperor and is respected by everyone.  Each time Justice Bao sees her, he'd try to convince her that she's his fiancee which results in him being a pervert in Scholar Hon's eyes.  After Circle's pursuasion, Justice Bao's advisor, Kung Suan Chak (Ram Chiang), finally believe that he's from the future and so helped Circle to re-learn all the court procedures/etiquettes.  Their first case is about a ghost in a clay basin.
Continuing from episode 2, Justice Bao and Scholar Hon was out by the lake when Scholar Hon fell off the boat.  After saving Scholar Hon using CPR, Justice Bao was slapped for his indecent behaviours.  Why?  Well, back then CPR was not known to anybody else.  Luckily the misunderstanding was clarify and the two started to work different involving abnormal occurrences such as the falling of meteorites, a green smoked dragon etc.  While these occurrences happened at different places, they seem to be all linked.  At the end of the episode, the crown prince suddenly collapsed and died on the spot.
To be honest, I don't really care for the cases now but it's definitely great to see Esther's and Bobby's interactions throughout the whole time.  Scholar Hon is warming up to Justice Bao so even though his behaviours/ideas are strange, she slowly recognizes their usefulness.  Haha their interactions are so cute and especially so when Kwai is involved.  FYI Kwai is Justice Bao's little turtle.  Scholar Hon has a soft spot for the little guy.  haha
A random scene of Justice Bao making wine for Scholar Hon.  Haha Suan Chak (Ram Chiang) seems to be the most scholarly one but he's the one who stole a grape :P  Lols I laughed when he spat out the grape.
Justice Bao helped Scholar Hon to make a mattress for the Princess.  Mattresses weren't invented then :P so of course Scholar Hon was really impressed.  All the things Justice Bao does for Scholar Hon; too sweet.
Lastly, they dubbed Christine Kuo.  LMAO  I don't get tvb sometimes but I guess that doesn't matter.
