At the end of episode 3, Yu Zhai (Tavia Yeung) had an operation to do but during the preparation for it, her legs suddenly got weak and could barely stand.  Onto the next episode, it is explained that her spinal illness relapsed and in order to treat it, Yu Zhai would first have to abort her baby.

I did not expect that Yu Zhai's sickness would come back so early in the series!  It was heartbreaking seeing her tell Yat Kin that she didn't want to give up their baby.

Just a funny moment to lighten up the atmosphere.  The girls are having fun and playing around while the guys are at home baking horrible cakes.  Ben (Benjamin Yuen) made an awful tasting cake, Siu Yat (Derek Kwok) made a salty one and Yat Kin baked a curry flavored cake.  Both Siu Yat and Yat Kin lacks common sense :P

Yat Kin (Kenneth Ma) was against Yu Zhai's decision to keep the baby at first, but he knew that it would pain her more to give up their baby and so therefore supported her even though he didn't want to.

While they were at the hospital, one of Yat Kin's patient played by Ronald Law, wanted to commit suicide because of his sickness and the shock of his girlfriend's abortion.  At that moment, the doctors rushed up there to save him:

[a segment of their conversation]
Ronald: ....she's the cruel one, killing the baby!!!
Yat Kin: Do you truly want to keep the baby?  You really want to take care of it and watch it grow up?  If you don't have the capability to, why can't you let it go?  There are lots of things in this world that is painful to lose but you have to consider whether it's worth it, like your family, friends and the person you love.  You have to think carefully cause once you die, there would be nothing left and there's no going back.  You have to save your life and you will have a chance to start over again!

Even though he's saying these words to Ronald, I think it is what he wants to say to Yu Zhai and she also noticed this.

In order to cheer Yat Kin and Yu Zhai up in episode 5, Onion (Him Law), Mei Suet (Mandy Wong), Ben (Benjamin Yuen) and a few others decided to organize a party.  At the party, they exchanged gifts.  'Coincidentally' all the gifts were baby items and everybody gave their gifts to Yu Zhai.  Towards the end of the party, they also played 'Guardian Angel' in which each person picks out a random name and becomes that person's 'guardian'.  Guess who Yu Zhai got?

I personally really like these scenes of the housemen, doctors etc having a party together since everybody looks like they're having so much fun.

After the party, Yu Zhai and Yat Kin brought the gifts back home and sitting together with her mother-in-law (Gigi Wong), she suddenly reveals to Yu Zhai that Yat Kin and Yat Hong (Nathan Ngai) isn't her only children.  She actually had a baby before Yat Kin but unfortunately had a miscarriage.  Through this, she tells Yu Zhai that there's no need to push it (to have the baby) and that there will be future chances.

Back in her room Yu Zhai started to write in her diary, "even though I really want to look over the baby but at this moment, the one I really want to guard over is you, Yat Kin."  At this point, she pulled out the 'Guardian Angel' card she got at the party and on it was Yat Kin's name.  What Yu Zhai said was really touching.

Yat Kin brought home a hand-model thingy for Yu Zhai, saying that they can make a hand-model for their upcoming baby.  Instead of waiting though, Yu Zhai suggested that they try it out first.  This scene was very sweet and heart wrenching at the same time when Yu Zhai said that she decided to abort the baby.  Though it obviously pains her very much, like she said before, what is most important to her right now is Yat Kin.  Man, I teared up like crazy during this scene and to have Gigi Wong overhear them at the door, it just drove out more tears.  For Yu Zhai to decide to abort the baby is even more courageous than it is to keep it.

What happened?
Yat Kin (Kenneth Ma) and Yu Zai (Tavia Yeung) was suppose to meet up for Siu Yat's (Derek Kwok) and Ka Man's (Paisley wu) wedding but on the way there, Yat Kin encountered an accident. He got out to help the injured people, and since there were many involved in the accident, doctors were called back to the hospital immediately.

While this is happening, Lok Man San (Lawrence NG), medical expert at the hospital discovered that one of the patient at the hospital is infected with a mutated H5N1 virus. In connection to that, they have to find all the people that were previously in contact with that patient to test whether anyone else is infected. To our dismay, one of the potential people who could have been infected is a pregnant lady is one of the injured people at the accident and Yu Zai is in charge of her operation. Thus if the lady is indeed infected with the virus, she could also infect all the doctors/nurses that are operating on her. So after the the successful operation, all staffs involved is quarantined off before the results (whether the lady was indeed infected or not) comes out.

While Yu Zai was quarantined off, Yat Kin went to visit her three times:

Yu Zai: How come you're here?
Yat Kin: *takes off mask*
Yu Zai: Don't take it off! You may get infected!
Yat Kin: I miss my wife. I don't care.
Yu Zai: Silly.

Can Yat Kin be any sweeter with his words? Sadly though, they only managed to speak a few words before Yu Zai's phone went out of battery. They both looked so sad, which ached my heart a little.

The second time Yat Kin visited Yu Zai, they only spoke in charade-style. Yat Kin also had a book where he wrote in what he wanted to say. First off he told Yu Zai that they still don't know anything about the virus yet and asked her how she's doing. Afterwards, he flipped through a bunch of names of well-known celebrities, hoping to find a name for their son. It was cute of him to make Yu Zai laugh that way. When he flipped to the page that said, "I have to go," Yu Zai looked so disappointed! Of course being as sweet as he is, the page that followed said, "I will be back." That brought a smile back to Yu Zai's face!

On Yat Kin's third visit, they were still separated by a glass window and only spoke to each other using body language. Along with him, Yat Kin brought a cake and on there he wrote, "60th Day Anniversary of Yu's Pregnancy." Yu Zai was smiling so sweetly!! After showing her the cake, he lighted up a candle and told her to make a wish. Yu Zhai quietly whispered, "Be safe and sound, mother and child." At that moment, Yat Kin raised his hand against the window and the words, "Mother and child, safe and sound," was written on his palm. Yu Zai also raised her hand against the window over his. Damn! This scene was so emotional, especially with the way they looked at each other. To see them separated by the glass window ached my heart.

In addition to the events mentioned above, there's also another side story about an old lady (Suet Nei) and her chocolate addiction. Same old story from THC where the housemen felt regretful because they were treating the patient badly before she died blah blah blah. I think I would have been more sympathetic if I didn't find the lady so annoying. Aside from her, the housemen dude was also irritating. He's got such a foul mood, nowhere as likeable as Him's housemen character in THC. I felt that this story was unnecessary. It was only alright cause it involved a pretty sweet scene between Mei Suet (Mandy Wong) and Ben (Benjamin Yuen).

Overall Thoughts: Even though it's just the first episode, the drama was quite heavy! I don't mind it though, since it's about Yu Zai and Yat Kin. I especially liked how they use THC's themesong in the background and also as the ending song. It triggered so many memories of the prequel. Honestly, I still prefer THC's themesong over the new one.

So how are you guys liking THC 2 so far?  Leave a comment! :)

Like many people, I am currently enjoying the reunion of Yat Kin Tau and Yu Zai!  It's great to see them together onscreen again and not to mention even more loving than before!  Episode one was good and surprisingly emotional.  Hope to share more thoughts with you guys later but as for now, hope you all like the new banner!

Hello my fellow readers!!  How long has it been since I blogged?  :(  For the past two weeks, I've been bombarded by midterms and essays!  First week I had like 3 midterms.  Then the week right after that, I had 3 essays due!  Gosh that was terrible.  Makes me hate October.  What's worse is that I only have a one week 'break' before more essays are due!!!  Then in December, it's finals again!  Not only do I hate October, I'm also beginning to hate November already.

Anyways enough complaints about school because despite all that, I still kept up to date with tvb :)  More precisely, Will Power.  I am really enjoying the series so far.  Loved the bickering between Moses Chan and Wayne Lai in the beginning episodes and their professionalism in court.  This 'law' series have much more court scenes then I expected and that is something I enjoy immensely.  The series pace is also nice, not too draggy.  On the other hand, I have not been watching Brother's Keeper.  Maybe I should start on it but really not in the mood right now.


Hmm...what else is there?  The Hippocratic Crush 2!!!!  Airing right after Brother's Keeper!!  I can't wait for the first episode to come out right now!  I initially wanted them to keep the original but after replaying the new song for so many times, I've grown so attached to it!  Especially loved how they kept the 'da di da da di da da' part!  Seriously I can just want to cry now! Wanna see it so badly!!

Oh also while watching the themesong, something just popped into my head.  As we all know, Kenneth Ma played alot of cameo roles before he got to where he is today.  So while rewatching one of Lawrence Ng's old series, 'Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre 2000', I saw Kenneth in the background!!!  Hmm...another cameo appearance!?!? TAVIA YEUNG!  Yes, she was also in there!  Haha it's amazing how they are co-leading with Lawrence now after 13 years.  Both Kenneth and Tavia have made it far.

Hope you guys found this interesting ;)  I will be posting more cameo appearances of theirs.  Right now though, you guys can check out some of the ones I found before: Tavia Yeung's, Kenneth Ma's.

Hehe going to be continuously updating myself with the filming pictures of THC 2!!!  My favourite picture is the one of Mandy and Benjamin walking down the street!
