Hard Fate

Storyline - The story of this series is mainly about jade and the love lives of Damien, Flora, Kevin and Niki. There are many things that have happened in the past that are uncovered and it is obviously a very small world that we live in because there are many coincidences leading to terrible events occurring for many of the characters.

Comments -
Storyline - I think the storyline is excellent! I reckon that the idea about jade is completely unique and this is really great because it makes the series even more fun to watch! The love scenes for the characters are also wonderful. The suspense of the series is exciting as well. But the sudden change of atmosphere can be very hard to take because a lot of things change so quickly and everything is not as it seems. This left me feeling pretty angry at the storyline because it made a lot of people suffer and I am a fan of happy endings. But for people who like suspense and surprises, they will surely enjoy it.

*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*
Cast -
Flora Chan - I reckon Flora was excellent in this series. She showed her feelings very well and her crying was terrific! She was very upset when she found out that Damien had a wife. I think Flora was really good in this series. But she did sometimes overact a little. I still reckon that this series is one of the best she has done! She made her character have a lot of depth to it.

Damien Lau - Damien is such a good actor! He acted so well in this series and he was fantastic! I think that he turned from good to evil very well and he should get an award for this series. He made this change from good to evil very naturally. I reckon that his facial expressions are the best because they show a lot of feelings and emotions from the heart. Damien's character also had a lot of meaning because he had his own reasons for his actions and he loved Flora so much that he wanted to keep her by his side at all costs.

Kevin Cheung - I think Kevin was really good in this series and he acted wonderfully. He was perfect with Niki because of the cute and extremely lovely chemistry between them! He also did great in the scenes where he found out his past concerning his dad and Damien. I thought he was about to cry because he seemed so sad that a good friend of his betrayed him. I reckon Kevin's character was good and he played it very well.

Niki Chow - I think Niki's carefree and fun attitude in her character was fantastic. It was nicely done and she acted so good when she cried after seeing her dad in a wheelchair. I think she should be given more chances from TVB because she is such a cool actress! Niki's character made the series a funny and happy one on many occasions because her bright smile won the audience's laughter. I think Niki's acting skills are just wonderful!

Maggie Siu - Maggie is OK in this series. Sometimes I found her facial expressions pretty confusing and puzzling because she seemed either angry or sad. I think that her character was done pretty well when she was looking for revenge on Damien and Flora. I felt sorry for her character that Damien didn't love her back. I think Maggie played the character at its best when she was working with Stephen to plot revenge and towards the ending's last couple of scenes.

Stephen Au - Stephen is nearly always the 'bad guy' of the series but I actually enjoy his performances. He is great being the kind-hearted person too. He obviously loved Maggie very much in this series and it was really sad that Maggie didn't have the same feelings for him. I think he did so well. I feel sorry for his character though since he was tricked by his own brother and he couldn't see the photo of the child he had with his lover.

Chemistry -
Flora Chan and Damien Lau:
I think that Flora and Damien didn't have good chemistry. It seemed really weird because they didn't look good together as the 'cute age-difference couple'. I think Myolie and Francis had that great chemistry instead in 'Triumph in the Skies'. It felt really awkward to see them together when they were being a close couple.

Kevin Cheung and Niki Chow:
I think Kevin and Niki were such a cute couple! They had wonderful chemistry and they were really funny sometimes. It was touching when Niki did everything she could to help Kevin and when it rained she still didn't give up. Kevin was so touched by her love for him. Kevin and Niki were a fantastic couple!

Conclusion - To conclude, this is a great series. I think you may be disappointed at the ending just like many other people who told me about their disappointment after watching this series. But I think it is worth a watch because it is really good and suspenseful at times. The series has a big turn-around and this makes it very suspenseful and surprising. An audience that loves surpises and the unexpected would love this series.
