Vietnamese title: Giang Ho Ky An No. of Chinese episodes: 20 No. of Vietnamese tapes: 16 Some spoilers The Casts: Moses Chan Niki Chow Michelle Yim Wayne Lai Halina Tam Cindy Au Ko Hung Guest appearance: Yuen Wah Comedies that depend on exaggeration to create laughter usually fail miserably. 'The Gentle Crackdown' also follows this footstep, but fortunately, there are much more layers to the series than simply cheap, cheesy humor.

I agree with the review in general; I think TVB had something special until they blew it at the end. If you're somewhat versed in Chinese history and literature, Hong Kong style cantonese w/ the slangs and oblique references, then you'll really enjoy the wittiness of the script and dialog. I decided to rewatch this series because the recent TVB series are all rehashes of old ideas w/ no originality (eg. the same producer's 'Heart of Greed'), and I'm still marveled at the drama's great story telling, comedic timing, pacing, editing, and acting.
