this drama is EPIC! sheren tang was PHENOMENAL as cheng kau mui, while wayne lai brought out lau sing's anguish and sufferings very well. AMAZING performances by the rest of the cast, esp pierre ngo as the timid and cowardly tong kat, evergreen mak as the irritating and cowardly antagonist, fala chen as lau sing's sick sister and the list just goes on.

my special thanks to the japanese soldiers who had to use real japanese to speak. i really admire them for their professionalism! :D

NR is definitely TVB's drama of the year 2010. no other drama comes close to it on the level of dedication, epicness and professionalism!

once again, producer lee has did it with rosy business, and sealed his name as the "GOLDEN PRODUCER" with great dramas like AFOS and NR. mr lee has done it again! :D

may i give special mention to the background music? it's really good!! :D :D

overall, a must-watch, esp when quality of tvb dramas are going downhill.

pretty interesting cop drama! don't really get the hype about laughing gor. i thought he was ordinary, but still, great acting from everybody, and a very fast-paced script as well! :)

first few episodes were good, then the drama quickly went down-hill from there. tavia did great as a maid (when she was hovering between the good and evil side), but after she became evil, she was totally a MAD WOMAN. over-the-top acting, but still must praise her for her determination to play her first villain role.

lau sam ho is too perfect to be true. she's supposedly a likeable character, but i really hated her character here. i pity charmaine who could have chosen better roles.

special mention to the villains of this drama, grand empress kwok and general ma yuen ji. susan tse and lee kwok lun for their fantastic performances as the main villains before tavia's character reigned supreme.

please, no more charmaine + kevin pairings. this pair IS PLAIN BORING! i'd rather see moses and charmain pair together.

super lousy script, decent acting... but still can't save this series from getting only 1/5 stars.

for better palace-themed dramas, watch war and beauty.

very good drama! one of the best of 2010! kenneth ma totally OUTSHINES kevin cheng as the filial son here! after watching this series, i'm looking at kenneth in a new light. tavia did great as a guest star here! could have given this drama 5/5, if not for kevin's monotonous acting in here, which spoilt this drama a little.

btw, excellent chemistry between selena li and kenneth ma. they make a very very cute couple!! :D

dominic lam is brilliant as the main villain here! :)

overall, a must-watch drama from TVB 2010! :)

not bad! maggie cheung is still a brilliant actress despite years of rest! elena kong did a great job as auntie angela! :D but the ending could have been better...

EXCELLENT DRAMA! no doubt the drama of the year for 2009. brilliant performances by almost everybody acting in this drama. special mention to wayne lai for BRINGING the character of chai gau alive!

the chemistry between sheren tang and wayne lai is a must-watch! they are just soul-mates, the best of friends, but their feelings and thoughts for each other have already gone wayyyyy beyond that. i'm pretty surprised that for the first time they are collaborating, they already exhibit so much chemistry together! :D

25 episodes. very fast-paced script, with very few flaws, and near-flawless acting, especially from the leads and main supporting roles.

a definite must-watch!

a nearly whole-sale copycat from japanese drama galileo, only that the japanese version was better!

raymond lam is a boring actor. he doesn't have the ability to express his feelings of his character properly. total let-down. he should just continue his singing career.

tavia is good at some scenes, but she's over-acting most of the time!

can give this a miss. for better drama, watch the japanese version.

one of the better dramas this year. fala chen really stands out as the fox spirit. she is adorably cute here! :)

steven ma is ok as pu song ling. nothing outstanding. a bit bland at times, but otherwise acceptable.

linda chung is a horrible actress. please don't cast her as a female lead next time! fala chen OUTSHINES her in every aspect. chung drags down the whole drama, which i could have given a 4/5.

this drama is surprisingly good. good chemistry between michael tao and jessica hsuan! bowie lam did great as a very scheming guy.

this may be a pre-modern drama, but don't let the time-line put you off, if not you're really missing out!

btw, excellent theme song from myolie wu. really helps to bring out the drama theme. :)

very, very lame drama. not much plot, and no chemistry between flora chan and joe ma. not worth watching as well.

Can't Buy Me Love

over-the-top acting from both charmaine sheh and moses chan. pretty lame storyline as well, with dancing and clapping taking up about nearly the whole episode. the only thing good about this series is the theme song, and performances from fala chen and susanna kwan. otherwise, a waste of time. not worth watching, unless you're a die-hard (really die-hard) fan of charmaine and moses.
