    Default Find The Light 《英雄‧刀‧少年》

    im currently watching this series. been going fast w/ this series. im already in ep 16 since starting this 2 days ago. if i were to choose between ron and bosco, i definitely prefer bosco's character. i can't stand ron moping around with shirley.
    i can't wait to find out the ending so i watched the last ep (with fast forwards though so as not to spoil 'much' ) hmmm.... the ending sucks! yeah i know the reform did not succeed until yrs after, but the story ended with ron rescuing bosco in prison....then what happens? it was never told....
    i felt i will be very sorry for leila. i had guessed that the ugly man (her love interest there) was evil....i was right all along....but somehow towards the end i didn't see her. my guess was that she died for her love....

    yes, i agree!

    i really liked bosco in here too! he was so intelligent and smart. unlike ron who never thought about what he did.
    the ending does suck, it was like so unclimatic, i had to think twice that it actually ended!

    leila was in it? i totally forgot about her

    leila plays the maid of shirley. the one who loves ron and bosco's friend who turns bad upon becoming a govt official.
    for once i think bosco is not that bad looking at all

    Wow cherrie!!! You sure move fast, lol. Last I heard you were going to get it and now you almost done? Hehe, so what do you think about it overall though?

    I agree with both of you guys. This was the first serei that I can remember of seeing both of these guys so I didn't know much on either of them. Did perfer Bosco in there and his relationship with Tavia more then Ron and Shirley's. I liked Bosco's character, more towards the end however.

    Anyways I felt bad for Leila's character. I wish her role would have been larger and her death was so unsignificant in ways. Well there was somewhat of significant, but how the news broke out wasn't what I expected. Wish it would have been more dramatic, lol ^_^

    hi goddess! im done with the series now. here are some of my thoughts.
    i do agree that the ending is very rushed. for one, i was expecting a more dramatic and difficult death for damien. but then, he's dead before you even knew what happened. well, i don't actually know what's that gooey substance on him. is it wax?
    i agree w/ you. i prefer bosco and tavia's love story. ron and shirley did nothing but act as if they were brainless. can't stand them! even till the end ron is still rash in his actions; unlike bosco who always thinks first before he acts.
    btw, i did some research later on and found out that there's indeed a character of 'tan si tong'! he's one of the 6 gentlemen put into jail for making the 100 days reform. they failed and put into jail (just like how the narrator said in the end), but they were executed. the story ended w/ ron rescuing bosco from jail and that their friendship became known and admired by many. but in reality, bosco did die. and one hero that they kept mentioning there, 'kang you wei' was said to be evil in reality. he was the traitor, that's why the 6 gentlemen and the reform failed. and remember damien's friend, the one who bit his tongue and died? there's actually that character in history. his name was lu hao tong, he's the leader of the anti-feudalism movement. on the contrary, there were no damien nor ron characters
    i liked tavia's role at first; but i don't like her the minute she became run er again. i really don't understand why she had to run away from bosco when her true identity was revealed.
    hehe, speaking of tavia, remember when she sought refuge in the church? that famous cameo was once again the british...this time a priest anyway, there's this one scene where tavia was saying thanks to him for letting her live in the church. then know what the priest answered her? he said, 'no problem, anyway the tam family (bosco's family) donates a lot of money to our church anyway....' then he goes on saying, 'beneath god's eyes all men are equal.....' i burst out laughing when i heard his first reason o, and speaking of him, he actually played 2 roles in the series! one was as the priest, then the other one....he's the cameraman! remember that scene where ron, bosco and shirley had this picture taking? i noticed at once that he's the cameraman!

    Anyways.. i think damien died in wax/glue... something thick and sticky....

    Damien's death was just like WTF...I guess he couldn't breathe :P

    I did NOT like the Ron/Shirley pairing in here. I would've preferred Shirley be Leila's maid lol ^^ Leila's pairing was so fugly...-_-

    Tavia and Bosco made such an adorable couple in this series, kekekekeke.
    You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex...

    yeah i was dissapointed with Leila's role in this series cause it was so small! that was surprising cause in all the other series her role was ALOT bigger. haha but i hated her love interest. I hated him in DOC as well.

    I dunno Shirley and Ron were so boring. I fast forward most parts to watch Bosco and Tavia. and when Leila died -- was just plain mad.

    i'll find a pic with the japanese actor wearing eyeglasses. they really look similar!
    is leila's love interest also in DOC? what role did he play?
    yeah, i wished leila's character has more development.
    and all the while im expecting leila's grandpa (shirley's si fu) to have more role. im kinda expecting he might turn up anti govt or something like that. somehow they did not explain the grandpa's background. afterall, he knows martial arts

    xox, do you mean that guy who commented on Rain's shirt? Is that him? If that is the one your talking about then he looks quite different in here!!! Much better looking for sure

    hey inferno I read about that accident and it is very unfortunate for him Did not see that Jade StarBiz thing though. I'm sure he would definately be tired after something like that. Lets just hope for his recovery then ^_^

    yes, i remember him now! he's this arrogant guy who got accepted in the company together with rain and sharon. he looks better in doc, though he's still ugly
    yep, i've heard of that news too. there are reports that say he's with benny chan there, but they said it's not true because they are not even close. well hope's bosco's okay now.

    Lol, I actually liked his character in DOC though. At least after he got accepted into the company and made peace with Rain He isn't that bad looking actually. I wouldn't call him gorgeous, but he isn't ugly Definately looks better in DOC!! Lol, I was actually thinking he might have something with Rain in there, but sadly no, hehe.

    apparently tvb decided that he stays as a minor character probably because they want to give more screentime for myolie?
