Rating: four-point-five

Main cast:
Raymond Lam
Michelle Yip
Rain Li
Mimi Lo
Chan Kwok Pong

Chinese title: "Wun Hoi Yuk Gung Yuen"
Vietnamese title: "Van Hai Ngoc Cung Duyen"
How long: 20 episodes

Storyline/Comments: First I would like to know where TVB got the title, "Lofty Waters Verdant Bow". I mean, the bow shows up for only a few minutes (not even) in the series and "lofty waters" is pointless. The title should be something else. TVB probably made this name to tell us what this series is mainly about - that should be where they got the title.

Acting:
Raymond Lam: Nonetheless, his acting was good. His dumb looks (sorry to offended fans) made him look cute in the series. I like what he wore and did with his hair after, when Michelle dressed him up. I enjoyed his and Michelle's parts, whether they were fighting or just being nice.

Michelle Yip: She gave another good performance. Did a lot of flying around, which seemed unneccessary, but overall, good. I also like what she wore and her hair. The childish looks she gave sometimes were good.

Rain Li: Oh god. I dislike her in the series a lot. I didn't even want to watch her. She often gives this sad face and it makes me want to just smack her(sorry to offended fans). Harsh puppy-looks acting that I wish to never see again.

Mimi Lo: Funny character. I really enjoyed watching her and Chan Kwok Pong's parts, especially when she was hitting him. Makes me laugh. Overall, she also gave a good performance.

Chan Kwok Pong: Again, a funny character. His acting was super and I also enjoy watching him. I believe this is the first time I saw him acting and overall, good as a newcomer.

Favorite memorable scenes:
-Whenever Raymond and Michelle are together
-Whenever Raymond and Michelle fight
-On the island, when Raymond and Michlle pretend to marry
-When Raymond and Michelle marry for real, in the end (sadly, this is also when Michelle died)
-When Raymond finally realized he loves Michelle, but it was too late
-When Raymond takes Michelle back to the island

Favorite couple: Raymond and Michelle
Least favorite couple: Raymond and Rain

Overall comments: Besides Rain Li, this series is worth watching. There are a lot of funny parts you wouldn't want to miss (between Raymond and Michelle and Mimi and Chan Kwok Pong). The theme song sung by Raymond, I would just say it was ok. Also, the costumes weren't great, but good.
