Heaven's Retribution 1990
Before watching this, I've seen clips and music videos of it but didn't think much of it. But wow, was I surprised to find myself totally captivated by this series as I was watching it. I was particularly moved by 黄日华 (Felix Wong) and 戚美珍 (Jamie Chik)'s love story. I had tears streaming down my face as I watched some of their scenes towards the end. I can't think of any series that have made me do that. I can truly say that I like this series more than I like 'Looking Back in Anger'.

Blood of Good and Evil 1990
My all time favorite TVB Drama. This serial is where I first fell in love with the pair Deric and Maggie.
I too disagree with hkopinions's review about their chemistry. Deric and Maggie wouldn't be the 'golden couple' during the early 90s for no reason. I'm sorry to say, I found his/her review to be very inaccurate.
I would pay attention to lotusgal's review instead! She gave a great review of this serial.
Back to this drama. Almost every aspect of this serial was superb.. script, story, acting, chemistry between the two leads, supporting cast, music, wardrobe.
No other TVB Drama or on-screen couple comes close.

Misleading Track 2005
This was ok to pretty good, though, whoever said this will become a classic was way over-rating it.
The script was good. The story was ok (parts of it was not believable). The leads.. well, this is the first TVB serial since the early 90s I have watched. So the only familiar lead to me is Deric. The other male and female leads.. well, I hate to say it, are not as good looking as the ones in the early 90s.
It good to see Deric in a HK serial again after many years. As always, he's a very good actor. I'm a big fan of him and Maggie Siu. I do notice, however, in this serial, that he lost some of the subtlety in his acting. In the past, like in "Blood of Good and Evil" and "Looking Back in Anger", you can tell by his acting that he was really into the character, every part of his face moved. There was a spark to him. In this, however, he lost that spark. His eyes were not as "animated", it's as if part of his face was botoxed (like his upper lip). Not only was there no perfect chemistry, there was no chemistry between him and the three wives. Watching this make me miss the serials I mentioned above.
I have to say, though, that the story wrapped up very nicely. That was definitely a plus.
