衝上雲霄2 ("Triumph in the Skies 2") - Filming Pictures

Hmm...I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to this, but still impress that tvb decided to once again, film overseas.  Despite the negative news of Francis Ng's attitude and Chiliam's blast at the PA and such...the cast seems to be enjoying themselves :)  

初五啟市錄 ("Record of the Fifth Day Opening") - Filming Pictures

Wow didn't expect Sonija to be a singer in here...she looks very beautiful in her costume though :)  Prefer it over her other costume (in Sheren Tang's No Regrets costumes).  Also really liking Tracy Ip's look in here.  In her previous pre-modern dramas, she always played a married woman....I like her look in here better.

I am also looking forward to Lin Xiawei since I've heard good comments about her, but have not watch her acting yet :)  She's Raymond Lam's cousin though right?  Anyways, I also tried to search for more info on her....found out on asianfantics that she graduated from Beijing Acting Academy ;)

Oh...crossing my fingers for Sunny Chan to get a good role in here!  Please don't let him have a goofy or angry role in here....want to see the Sunny back in War and Destiny D;

I wonder if Jonathan Cheung (Fan Gan :P) and Cilia Kwok is going to play a pair in here :D

The Last Steep Ascent Thoughts 1

~this scene was so sweet....the kind of moment where you go, "AW..."  haha

I have been a bit behind on my other dramas, but have been pretty updated with this one :)  The Last Steep Ascent started of a little slow for my tasting, but things got better starting at episode 5 or so.  I must admit, it's not exactly what I had hoped the drama to be like...or imagined it to be like, as it's mainly focus on business so far.  On the other hand though, even though there are not much between Maggie and Moses so far...there's just this romantic feeling between them...really settle but heart-warming.  Moses character is rather boring at times, but yet...his dedication to Maggie managed to soften my heart.  Like Moses, Maggie's character isn't that special either.  I initially thought she'd play a stronger woman in here, but not really...she's just like any ordinary woman.  On their own, they're not exactly interesting...but together, there's just something special and I'm always anticipating to see how they will develop :)

Aside from Moses and Maggie's story, I also find Joel Chan and Samantha Ko really interesting to watch.  Honestly, their characters outshines the main leads :P  Joel can come of as a jerk, but a jerk with brotherhood.  He's just so adorable to watch x)  As for Samantha Ko.  I shall applause her performance!  Such a nice surprise!  Hmm...have I ever seen Samantha in a series before?  I don't remember, but anyways, she is doing very well in The Last Steep Ascent :)  Personally like her and Joel alot!  Haha they're the fun yet sweet couple of the series!

I will be posting more about Joel and Samantha later ;)
