Interest Rate: 10/10 (yah...I know!!!)
While I was watching, the background music (starting at 40 secs) hit me and made everything feel so nostaligic!  It's been forever since tvb created a mythical series and it is my favourite genre!!!!  The make up and costumes so far looks alright, especially Eliza Sum's but excluding Katy Kung's green costume.  While Eliza is adorable onscreen, I wonder if Katy would be better for the role?  I think Katy is quite underrated.

The fact that it's ONLY 20 eps aches my heart cause I wanna see more....

OHHH!! One thing I gotta mention is Kristal playing as a man.  While I often complain about this, Kristal changed my mind.  In some pictures taken of her, she actually looks quite impressive in the man costume! :D

Cast: Kenneth Ma, Selena Li, Lin Xiawei, Pierre Ngo, Power Chan, Raymond Cho, Yoyo Chen, Charmaine Li, Candy Chang, KK Cheung, Law Lok Lam, Mary Hon

As the Song Dynasty is on the verge of ruin, four imperial constables showcase their talents, cracking down a conspiracy with catastrophic consequence; An adventurous story with modern elements. Kenneth and Selena's two roles are in a love triangle. Selena has two roles -- one is Kenneth's wife and the other is a famous prostitute who likes him; Lin Xiawei plays a martial artist and paired up with Pierre.

Interest Rate - 8/10
Oh!!! I totally forgot that they were filming this one. Haha the series was suggested in the 2013 sales presentation and the concept/storyline had changed quite a bit! Thank goodness too since the costumes then were horrendous! haha

Also one of my fav couple is back onscreen!  Kenneth Ma and Selena Li!

Cast: Bosco Wong, Kate Tsui, Sharon Chan, Nancy Wu, Ben Wong, Elena Kong, Toby Leung, Pal Sinn, MC Jin, Stephen Wong, Oscar Leung, Jack Wu, Jazz Lam

A brilliant speculator challenges the Commercial Crime Bureau. Being ambitious, arrogant an egotistical, he is a money-driven man in this new era.This is a finance-themed series. The script was originally written for Michael Miu, but since he withdrew, there was no replacement. Instead, the producer modified the story to make the role younger. Bosco plays a financial expert, Nancy Wu is his wife, who is a high executive at the bank. Kate gets involved in their marriage as the third party; Sharon and Toby are sisters, both are Criminal Crime Bureau(CCB) officers.

Interest Rate 7/10
This reminds me of Bosco's role in "Lives of Omission".

MC Jin is in here!  Good to see him back with more dramas!

Cast: Michael Miu, Charmaine Sheh, Raymond Lam, Elena Kong, Sharon Chan, Oscar Leung, Sammy Sum, Patrick Tang, Toby Leung, Benz Hui

A police action-crime drama about undercovers and struggles in the police force. Raymond is an undercover, disguised as a gangster; Charmaine is an undercover disguised as a foot massage spa owner; Charmaine and Raymond's relationship started before they knew the other was an undercover, but their attraction grew stronger when they knew they were both undercover; Sharon is an OCTB officer (O Gei); Sammy Sum is Sharon's boyfriend; Elena is a housewife; Oscar Leung is a gangster and Raymond's good friend; Patrick is Sharon's ex-boyfriend, a OCTB inspector.

Interest Rate: 7/10
Police dramas are always a hit or miss for me so I may or may not give this a try. Aside from that, I'm not a big fan of Raymond Lam. Haha I don't even know why either cause I don't think he's a bad actor or anything but I just have no interest to watch him. If I were to choose this over the other series with Bosco Wong, I'd choose Bosco's. Lately, I've also lost interest in watching Sharon too. Dunno why but I don't want to watch her either.

Cast: Wayne Lai, Louisa So, Elaine Yiu, Natalie Tong, Tony Hung, Stanley Cheung, Susan Tse, Mary Hon, Amy Fan

Wayne plays a near 40 year old bus driver, he and his girlfriend has a 6 year old son. His girlfriend later leaves him, and Louisa So hires him as a personal driver, the two slowly develop feelings for one another; Louisa plays a CEO of a large corporation.

Interest Rate: 5/10
For the sake of Louisa So, I gave this a higher rating :P Honestly though, the story sound too bland and so was the trailer.

Cast: Lawrence Ng, Kate Tsui, Josie Ho, Vincent Wong, Kenny Wong, Jacqueline Wong, Tracy Chu

Drama revolves around criminal punishment and life in prison. Josie Ho plays a pitiful role, she is a prisoner with a young son who has never met a good person. Vincent was negatively influenced at a young age, and almost joined the triad. One time he was caught shoplifting at a convenience store Josie worked at, but she gave him a chance and since then he went back on the right path. He became a correctional officer and eventually develops a relationship with Josie; Vincent ends up going to jail because of Josie and gets bullied; Lawrence, Kate, Kenny and Jacqueline are all correctional officers; Lawrence and Jacqueline are siblings; Tracy is a social worker.

Interest Rate 6/10
I'm on the edge for this one. Don't know whether I'll like it or find it boring. Why does it sound like the story will revolve around Josie Ho? For those like me, who have no idea who Josie Ho is, she's a movie actress.

Cast: Myolie Wu, Ron Ng, Him Law, Louis Cheung, Alice Chan, Eliza Sam, Gigi Wong, Susan Tse, Derek Kwok, Jerry Koo

A light-hearted comedy. Myolie and her mother Gigi roams around selling and cheating people. One time when Myolie was being chased, Him Law rescued her and it was love at first sight. It turned out she and Him had an arranged marriage. Later, the two were married with Ron's help. Him's family owns an vinegar production business, after marriage, Myolie learned how to make vinegar. When Gigi was accused of murdering her husband, she was jailed and Him's family forced Myolie to draw a line with her mother. Him doesn't help her, but instead falls for Eliza and she later becomes his mistress. Ultimately Him divorces Myolie; Ron and his sister Jade Leung owns a bath house, he has skin disease and gets cheated by Myolie and her mother. Later Myolie cures his skin disease and they became good friends.

Interest Rate: 7/10
The synopsis sounds much more promising than the goofy trailer.
Cast: Joe Ma, Linda Chung, Oscar Leung, Him Law, Benjamin Yuen, Timmy Hung, Mandy Wong, Christine Kuo, Grace Wong, Patrick Tang, Matthew Ko, William Chak, Nancy Wu, Jade Leung, Sam Tsang, Jerry Koo

Following the hit of the last series 'Tiger Cubs', the new one has valiant policemen and undercover policewomen that are fully equipped for another lethal mission; A total of 10 stories, each 2 episodes long. The sequel incorporates more dramatic elements that would make audience want to keep watching, such as the resentment among the SDU brothers. There are more large-scale scenes in this sequel compared to the last. The characters from part 1 will continue in the sequel with addition of new characters. Joe continues as "Jin Sir", he has become even more matured since part 1; Linda plays a cold CIB madam, who is an undercover in the triad. The triad eventually discovered her true identity and traumatized her, which turned her into a ruthless and violent madam.

Interest Rate: 8/10
I liked the first installement, so hopefully this will be able to follow its predecessor's footsteps.
Hmm...Jade Leung is really making a comeback to tvb? She's also in Vinegar Lady.

Have no idea what to post lately, so just did graphics and CHIBI :P

It's been FOREVERRRRR since I've drawn something! Well...I did...but never finished any of them. You'd be sure to see some drawing of Priscilla Wong soon though cause I just ABSOLUTELY love her hairstyle in Karma Rider and Return of the Silver Tongue.

Oh wait...I hope you guys know who I drew down there Q.Q  I can't do hair...
btw...I still find the word 'cocoon' really weird.  I like saying it but always have trouble writing it.

TRAILER (credit tvb.com):

Yes!  You heard me correctly.  Chicken rice is a big deal!  Why?  Cause I am craving it right now!!!  My mom attempted to make it but meh, she's a good cook but I don't want her to try doing that again.  Haha

When was the first time I ate chicken rice?  This past summer.  So yah, not too long ago.  I ate it during my trip at Singapore.  Man it was the best meal I had there since my friend (some of you may know her cause she was once a tvb blogger too!) took us out to eat, so we didn't have to eat the meals set up by the tour.  I don't like the places that tour guides took us to eat; would rather eat out in the streets.  Anyways, the place we went to eat at took place at this food court?  Damn, the line for the chicken rice was long!  I waited half an hour in line to get two plates of chicken rice.  Crazy but worth it!  I was also surprise how cheap it was too!!  Three something for a plate?  Where can I get that price in Vancouver!?  Nowhere that is.

Anyways, the chicken was so tender though I didn't notice how fragrant the rice was at first.  When I got back to Vietnam, my cousin also took me out to eat more chicken rice (since I told her I really liked it in Singapore).  The chicken is not as tender where I ate at Vietnam, but the rice was sooooooooo good!  It has the flavour of chicken but also bits and pieces of ginger (I LOVE ginger).  The taste is still lingering in my mouth right now!  Sigh, I miss the tender chicken and awesome sauce in Singapore and the delicious taste of the rice in Vietnam.

I'd really love to visit Singapore again one day, not just for the chicken rice but also because I quite like the place.  Maybe I'll talk more about it later? :)

So....to connect this post to TVB, have anybody here watched "Yummy Yummy" featuring Kevin Cheng, Charmaine Sheh, Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung?  They made chicken rice in there!!! haha I love the part where they participated in the competitions.

Haven't seen Charmaine in awhile, so I'm missing her :(  That's why I've decided to look up what she've been up to recently...aka the series she were filming!
