Comments -
Storyline - The storyline for this series is OK. It is much too obvious what will happen next in this series, but the story is very easy to understand and is a very happy one, which is why I like it. But I must admit that there isn't much to expect.
Cast -
Bobby Au Yeung - Bobby is the funny man as usual and he is hilarious! His smiles are very whole-hearted. I really loved his acting and when he was at his unhappiest, I really felt sorry for him. It was really sad. I think he did a great effort in this series!
Sonija Kwok - Sonija was excellent in this series. She was funny as well and she portrayed a very kind and caring person. She did her character nicely but in her sad moments she didn't really show much facial expressions. I think she was very funny and fantastically full of joy at the right moments though.
Anne Heung - I think that Anne was a bit like a brick in this series. When she was rejected by Bobby she didn't really show many tears and sometimes her character is unrealistic. I think she was a really hilarious person in this series too.
Shirley Yeung - I think that Shirley can act terrifically! She acted so well. I really did feel sorry for her character when she was rejected by Ellesmere. She was so kind and helpful to him. I think her facial expressions were pretty good and I really liked her acting in this series because she made me laugh at times.
Ellesmere Choi - I didn't really like Ellesmere's character in this series because he always seemed like he doesn't know what he wants in his life. He is always so confused and cannot make decisions. I think Ellesmere didn't portray his character very well mainly because of the script but I still reckon he could have done better.
Wayne Lai - Wayne made me laugh so many times throughout the whole of this series and he was so funny. I think that he acted pretty well and I am happy that he finally had a fair go from TVB to be a character with more depth!
Eileen Yeow - I think Eileen did her short part in this series wonderfully because she portrayed her sweet, nice, good-hearted character in such a terrific way! But I reckon that if she had more screen time it would have been much better because I love her acting in other series like 'Vigilante Force'.
Chemistry - Was it really there?
Bobby Au Yeung and Sonija Kwok:
I found that these two did have some sort of connection but due to their small amount of screen time as a couple, they didn't really seem to have that much chemistry. I think that they were OK as a couple though.
Ellesmere Choi and Shirley Yeung:
I think that Ellesmere and Shirley didn't seem like a couple at all. They didn't have good chemistry and they seemed like a brother-sister relationship.
Wayne Lai and Anne Heung:
I think that Wayne and Anne were more like the funny couple but it was obvious that they were going to be together because they always argued. I reckon that they didn't really have chemistry either but it was still funny to watch them both on screen together since it was cute!
Conclusion - This is a great series with a lot of laughter and fun! It is good to watch if you are bored and want to have a great laugh with friends or family. I think that I would recommend it to the people who like funny series that are very happy and predictable.
