I'm a huge fan of the 80's but this series was a huge disappointment. It had great potential with the all star cast and beautiful wardrobes but sadly, the overall acting and storyline itself was lacking. The main characters weren't likeable and inconsistent and rather came off annoying. The villains were way too obvious, predicable and boring, it was the same actors playing similar roles to previous TVB series. The supporting characters did nothing for me either. Normally they add some dimension or purpose to the series but in this case, they did neither. Too many characters rather made everything overwhelming and dragging.
