Steven Ma

Many of you may not know this but my favorite idol, before Raymond Lam, was Steven Ma. Ever since Ultra Protection in 1999, through On the Track or Off in 2001, till A Journey Called Life, Steven had always been one of my favorite TVB actor. Furthermore, his singing was also one of the reason why I like him so much. He is amazingly talented in his singing, especially for a powerful themesong, like Seung Fei (想飛) and Break Through (突圍). Overall, he still remain one of my favorite throughout these years.

I am extremely happy that he is being promoted (not over but he is giving more chance and opportunities) this year. Currently, TVB is airing A Watchdog's Tale and I heard it is pretty good and funny. (I haven't watch it yet but I will wait till the entire series is out first) He had three series this year, 'The Legend of Pu Song Ling', 'The Stars of Love', and 'Transferred Connection Temptation' (Did they change the name yet?) Anyway, I am looking forward to 'Pu Song Ling' because of the supernatural theme and 'Transferred' because I want to see his chemistry with Fala Chan. In addition, I heard he will focus on his music career this year with a new CD. I really can't wait to hear it because I simply love his voice.

Finally, I would just like to wish him a successful year and I hope to enjoy his works!

Mysterious of Love Trailer

OMG! I am so happy and exciting right now! I was deep in my studies and work when I went over to Raymond's discussion forum and discover the new FungYi series Trailer! Imagine my surprise and my joy! I can't express how exciting I am because it was not what I expected. I am not sure what I expected but usually I don't put too much hope on TVB sales presentation but this time....I love it! I guess I will point out what I love...hehe...

1) The Overwhelming Effect. At first when I heard of this series involving cases, I imagine something small because there isn't much news on this series and it is not high profile. However, this trailer prove me wrong because first there is the huge lab (Very cool), the explosion, the wide city shoot, all gave me a 'Wow' feeling. Even though it is similar to FH, I like adding the mysterious factor into it.

2) The Love Story. The contrast between the two main love story in this series are a very interesting factor. On one side, there is the dreaming/classical love between Raymond and Tavia. A love story where a silly, yet lovable girl fall for a 'prince' in which they would have to overcome a certain amount of obstacles to be together. Adding the modern touch to it, where one is a cop and the other is a 'logic' professor in a mysterious and intense setting is a sure capture of audience's heart. Meanwhile, on the other side, Kenneth and his 'girlfriends' reflected the sensational aspects, giving us a very modern approach and view on relationships.

3) Raymond. Come on! You should know he is on the list. Anyway, as I mention before when I first saw Raymond's hair cut, I was really disappointed. However, later on I started thinking...Raymond always look good on screen and I never trust photographer. So I got my answer. I love Raymond's looks here! Tavia is agreeing with me on this one! (...the way she was staring at him through his car window) I love his personality in this series especially when he analyzed 'love' with a physic logic. LOL! Anyway, I am surprise that he will be under threat in this series. (Bet, it is near the end) Love to see that!

4) Tavia. Wow. I was expecting a silly and down-to-earth cop... I wasn't expecting a girl that melt my heart with her adorable expression. When I heard about Tavia's character, a strong righteous cop with very true feelings, I know I will love her character. (What's not to love?) However, after the trailer I realize this girl could really steal my heart. I absolutely love her expression when she bitten her lips and let her head fall onto Raymond's arm. This is going to be one of my favorite pairing in the waiting!

OMG! I am getting way too exciting! I need to wait patiently for this series but... wow... I need it fast! LOL!

Weather Forecast: BTROC

(Haha! Note: I have given up on BR. It is not that it is not good, it is just that I have time for only one series and it has to be BTROC!)

Currently, on episode 11, (btw, for those who don't want spoiler, please kindly close your eyes *joking*) Moses finally shred his 10 year old act and become the true king. I am sorry to say, I am going to miss him and his little sugar treat. It is amazing how Moses can turn from silly to royal in the blink of an eye but he look so handsome in that black robe. However, I feel bad for his situation. I am dying to see how he 'hook up' with Tavia and Selena. Still, I really like his character, especially the way he looks at Charmaine. Now there is a guy who got it bad.

Kevin...Kevin...Kevin... I never like Kevin in ancient because it just doesn't seem right. Yes, he looks handsome (a little on the skinny side) but I feel weird when he is on screen. No offend to Kevin's fan, I just like him a lot better in Modern.

Based on what is happening so far, I am rooting for Moses and Charmaine. (I even have an urge to pair them up in my next story) Their story is so lovely, there is friendship, trust, faith, hope, and purity. However, I honestly don't want them to end up together because keeping it this way is the best, instead of being overshadow by the corruption of the palace. I hope whenever in the future, I see Moses and Charmaine, it will be a reminder of their childhood.

Charmaine and Kevin...I can't help but feel that it is similar to that Korean series, except taking it one step farther. I understand their mutual admiration but love is too fast. I mean Kevin actually told Charmaine to run away with him. Do you think that is too impulsive for someone like Kevin? I was hoping for more of their eye contact which transit their feeling toward each other. Anyway, I have already guess the ending for those two in some spoilers. So, I will wait and see what happen. (Yet, both of them look really refreshing and natural in appearance.)

Tavia...when are you going to start scheming? I know she started hurting other for revenge and feeling unfair because Charmaine is climbing faster than her but I can't help but wonder when is the turning point for her. At this point, we know what kind of character is play, a girl who is trying to strive to be the top because she couldn't take being inferior, however, we still need to see the point that will trigger her to go all the way without turning back. Somehow I feet they should put more time on Tavia's development. As of now, they focus too much on Michelle and Susanna ( don't get me wrong, I think they are suspend but I want more on Tavia...and Selena!) Anyway, Tavia is still treating Charmaine as her only true friends. Their bond are strong but I can't wait to see what changes it to push both parties to the point of no return.

P.S. I am so happy Edwin is dead. LOL!

Weather Forecast: Born Rich & Beyond the Realm of Conscience

Hey, everyone

(Don't think I am free or anything! I am losing sleep doing this but I can't help it! (^v^)!)

I decided to create a topic "Weather Forecast" where I will express my opinions and thoughts on what I am watching now, especially TVB. So when you see WF, it is probably a review on an episode I watch or a series. Anyway, I thought it will be fun...since I am Breeze!

So, I just finish the first episode each of BR and BTROC. Honestly, I love BTROC first episode. The costumes are pretty (Good for the eyes...Hehe...) The people are beautiful (Well...some...LOL) and I really don't expect the episode to start off with a BANG then it traveled back in time. I know...I know...it spoiled what will happen near the end but I like this guessing what will lead to this and that. (Honestly, for those who are anticipating it, we know some of the spoiler anyway...not as if they are keeping it a secret or anything.) Going off topic again, Breeze.

I didn't realize I would like Charmaine's character so much. Yes, she is the good one...from the start till the end but this is a series. I have enough with realistic as of now. She made me believe there is good. (Not that naive but...yeah) Anyway, I think she was like the one pure spot out of all the palace dark and gray. Mostly, I enjoy the little girl who portray her. Wow, she knows how to cry to touch people's heart...and that song. When I first heard it by Charmaine, I find it to be a little cute but not heartwarming. Now that it is like the 'faith' song between mother and daughter. I can't get it out of my head. Plus, I have to say, Charmaine looks the best in ancient costume. She look absolutely beautiful.

Now lets move on...I don't know why but since I have been anticipating for Tavia's role of evil. I thought I will be rooting for her but (Sorry, Tavia's fan) I am rooting for Charmaine here...well, maybe because the storyline didn't focus on Tavia much so far...when they start showing how she turned evil...I might switch. (Yeah, I change my mind faster than a roller coaster) Anyway, Tavia's acting never disappointment me. I guess I will just have to wait and see more...somehow I know I am going to be impress but if I am expecting it...is it impress?

Let's turn over to BR, now there is a complete contrast. Honestly, I fast forward the beginning. (Bad, Breeze) I just find it not too interesting because of the actor and actress. Don't get me wrong, their acting is great...it's just that I need to get a little familiar with them. (By the way, I think that guy is hot...Okay, searching for his name right now....wait...Ray? No, I don't think I can think of him as Ray, for you all know who is my Ray. LOL!) However, what surprise me the most is Joe and Anita...I was never too fond of them but they have such chemistry. I think I am looking forward to this pair. I am surprise that Gallen isn't introduce first but it was understandable. Btw, Nancy's slap woke up my interest. It was that family crisis and the discover of the 'Safe Deposit Box' that made the series start getting exciting and suspenseful for me! I am looking forward to the next episode but honestly, I am hook on BTROC more.

Notes: I know many of my readers are waiting for my updates but I need to apologize. I am piled up with work right now. I think around November...I might be free but...I am sorry. I just need to let all of you know that I didn't give up on Illumination or writing. I just need to put other aspect of my life first. Thanks for understanding!

Moving toward Music

Since I haven't updated my blog regularly, I decided to write something...Anything. Well, this post is inspired by Myolie Wu's newest MV. As we all know, many artists are moving toward the music industry. (Weeell...not many but Kevin, Raymond, Myolie, Linda, Kate, Bosco...etc.) I don't know how to feel about it because I personally haven't been follow the HK music industry. Don't get me wrong, I do know who is who... LOL...However, I think I stop listening to HK music for a while now. I did occasionally find a good song but really they stopped sparking my interest.



Anyhow, when TVB started 'experimenting' their artists into the music industry I knew it could be a disaster coming... They started off by 'pushing' Ron, Raymond and Kevin into the music market with the production of "All About Men", a collaborated CD with TVB male lead and a few HK singers (Eason). Okay, so prepare for a brief history lesson. First, they pushed Ron in the music market. Note the word 'Push'. Personally, I felt like TVB or whoever it was in the management department decided since Ron's popularity sky rocket at that time, they decided to threw him into an unfamiliar footing, without any preparation. I can't say it was a disaster but in truth, Ron had some many room for improvement. Most importantly, he wasn't ready. I remember watching the "All About Men" concert and my heart literally broke for Ron. The poor man was so nervous, I felt his hand shaking. I blamed TVB for this. Honestly, Ron is not a good singer but he could be better with the right amount of training. You can't simply expected him to go out there and sing when he have no background training. So... Bad TVB.



Now, shall we move on. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin... In contrast to Ron, he had the most training as a singer. The guy started off as a singer before he turned to acting. Therefore, he can't really disappoint you but... Expect for having a well-known 'Master', Kevin was pretty much lacking in promotion in this area. This artist can sing but his voice is more in the 'past generation' tune. Therefore, TVB kept him in the acting department with opportunities like theme song and such as side dish...



Ah, Raymond. This goes without saying for he was the most successful out of the three but it didn't mean he had it easy at first. Let's say he was filming series after series before he got the chance in the music industry. It goes without saying that he had been giving the opportunity to sing throughout his career as an actor but he was never giving the chance to be label 'Singer' until his popularity in HOG. Many will think that Raymond just popped out as a singer and in two years, he had a concert but he had accumulated all his fans throughout his acting career and when he released his first album along with the promotion of both his series, it is easy to assume the outcome. Honestly, it was good on TVB part to make him into a singer at that precise time.



Let's move on to Bosco. Hm... I am not going to comment much here but after that EP...He sort of have no new. Out of the three that year (with Myolie and Linda), he was the only male and the one with the less publicity. Call me wrong but I felt he was kind of overshadowed by Myolie and Linda.



Mentioning Bosco, a lot of people will think of Myolie. (Sorry, I am not one of them.) Anyway, it is to be said that Myolie will have her second album this month. Honestly, I think Myolie's music company do promote her in a lot of functions. In almost every song, she has a MV and she had already been collaborated with Vincent Wong, Kevin Cheng, and Chilam Cheung. As for potential, she does have it and she have a very strong voice; however, she still need experiences and training on stage. Yet, she did improved tremendously...and her music career seem hopeful.



Hm...Linda... She, unlike the other, are trying on a slightly different image by testing water on writing a few of her songs. Focusing on love story, her second album is rumored to be out in November, especially since her first was such a success. She could sing but her voice is very unstable in live performance and it goes without saying that she need a lot more practice. However, I don't see any problem with her second album this year.



Ah, Kate. Our newest member into the music industry. Somehow, I can't shake the feeling of Ron's situation all over again. They are highly promoting her, especially her dancing and her style, but is that enough for her music career. Would she be in the category of a one-hit-back to acting or is she here for the long haul?

Personal Note: Haha...I didn't realize I am rumbling again. Anyway, I know I am lacking behind on Illumination but I am so busy! However, I did find time to work a little on my upcoming story. I can't wait until I am free of stress!

Happy Birthday!

Hey, guess what?! Today is Ady An's birthday, too! Yeah! I never know a celebrity with the same birthday as me...and it is someone I like! So, yeah, I made this poster under 2o minutes. It is not much but at least I like the color. Anyway, I will have class in a few hours...so I have a feeling I will be happier afterward!

Amateur Posters

Hey, I decided to post some old posters that I made way WAY back in the old days. LOL! Seriously, it is only a few years old but it seem ancient to me. Anyway, most of them are stories that I planned to write but never got to...Yeah, you know the feeling...It is in my head but I never took the energy to write it. So...Here goes... (Seriously, I think they are really...urgh... but tell me what you think...hehe...)

This old is about a year old. I didn't planned this story but it came to me one day but instead of writing it, I decided to made a poster and forgot about it. LOL!

This one is very old. You can actually tell because I was called Raymeila at that time. Anyway, I love puppies and dogs; therefore, I started this but I lack inspiration!

Same as the prior one, this one is so old I can't remember the story but I am just posting it up for no reason at all.

This has a very interesting storyline. I might actually write it sometimes in the future but I won't use this poster. I just put it together really fast. I don't think it is finish...

Ah! This one is recent. I really like this plot but I lack inspiration; therefore, it is on hold for now till...who knows when.

Note: The following stories had never been posted nor finish! "(^v^)"

(^v^) New Layout! (^v^)

Hey!

Before school officially start, I want to give this blog a new face! What do you think? Haha! I want to make the center body transparent...but I tried so many time and it still didn't work. Anyone know how? I will really appreciate it!

Okay, just to give you all an update on my latest progress. I should be able to post another chapter of Illumination by/at this weekend. I'm working on the second chapter already. I definitely need to speed things along...but no pressure, right? As for Dusk of Dawn, I am currently putting it on hold until I finish Illumination. I still haven't decide the next short stories. Based on the poll, Tavia won by, as the saying goes, approximately nine blocks. As of now, next came Myolie...then Linda. I can't promise you that this is the order but I will try my best to make Tavia's story come next...since there are so many supporter. However, it will still be a while because of school and everything...(By the way, where are all the Charray's fans? I expected Rady to get 0 but Charray??? Hehe...)

Anyhow, I need to go to sleep now! Goodnight!

宮心計: Beyond the Realm of Conscience

I just finished watching the BTROC trailer (Mandarin Version). I know...I know I'm late but you all know that I'm a huge fan of Raymond; therefore, I mostly follow his news. It was when I look for the Growing through Life trailer that I found the BTROC trailer as well.

I got to say that I wasn't putting much high hope on this because I don't like War and Beauty (Am I the only one?) and I usually don't like series about king and concubines fighting over him but this trailer took me by surprise. I was looking forward to this series because of my two favorite actresses, Charmaine and Tavia. Of course, there are Moses and Kevin as well as experience actresses like Michelle and Susanna. Now, I got to watch it. However, I haven't been following the news...so basically I don't know who plays who and what is what. All I saw was the Sales Presentation and I got to say that I love Tavia playing evil.

Anyway, back to the afterthought of seeing the trailer. I got really hype about it because I like the fact that it started off with friendship between Charmaine and Tavia. They started off from being just a minor role in the palace to becoming two of the main player of the fate of the palace. One plans to overturn it and the other tries to save it. I believe from the first scene that they grew up together with a promise to look out for each other...Now they turned into rivals/enemies.

Honestly, I really like Charmaine's costume at the very end, she looks so beautiful and elegant. Her character, I believe, should be the strong and righteous heroine who accepted what fate threw in her path and bite her teeth through it. However, I got to say that the trailer didn't say much about her, except the conflict surrounding her, but I like her character already. However, the most confusing thing was her relationship with Kevin and Moses. I believe she is in love with Kevin and Moses was in love with her but...then Kevin might/might not (probably the might not) died. The mystery is how Charmaine became Mose's concubine??? If truth be told, I would prefer if she stay faithful to Kevin. However, Moses love probably touch her in some way... By the way, I saw a very beautiful bed scene with Charmaine and...who? I can't tell if it is Kevin or Moses? (Rooting for Kevin) LOL! Yeah, I don't really root for Kings because they already have too many ladies to count.

To Tavia's side of the story, I think she is rather the more inner girl in the beginning and when she got her power she became more true on the surface. I don't really believe her to sacrifice herself for Charmaine instead I think she is rather a scheming type of girl. She had been dealt with the bad side in life, seeing the harsh reality of the palace from her low position. She did everything in her power to gain high power and position...and the simplest and fastest way is no other than seduce the most powerful man in the country, Moses. I can't wait to see this. Honestly, I really like Tavia's character because I always love me a evil pretty character. Haha! Plus there is the process of watching her turn evil is also a must because I dislike evil character simply because they are evil.

In addition, other than Charmaine & Tavia, I want to see Selena as well. I don't know much about her character but since she is the king's concubine and Tavia tried to poison her. I want to see what is her character like...

As for Kevin and Moses, I don't feel much for them because their conflicts are with the traitor and Charmaine...However, there is not much other their characters.

Overall, I can't wait to see it! It's the most anticipated for me in 2009!

My Fave Five Pairing

As school is quickly approaching, I realize that my free time is limited. I still have a load of things to do but the most urgent is finishing up Illumination, especially since I know during the school year it will be almost impossible to write/update often. Basically, I can't promise anything but I will promise I will try my best. In the meantime, my new story (the one coming after Illumination) keep creeping up on me. The plot is getting more and more interesting (to me anyway) I would like to start writing it soon but...I need to finish this one!

Anyway, so I am not sure are any of you are interested and curious about my favorite pairing...since I just post the top 5 Raymond's pairing. Well, honestly, I don't have a definite Raymond pairing...I am almost fine with whoever he is pairing as long as there is chemistry and the plot is good. However, I guess I will just post my fave five as of now and why...

(Not in any particular order)

1) Raymond Lam and Leila Tong : I sometime have a tendency of choosing/rooting for the opposite of the majority. I doubt there is many Raymeila's fan, since they only have one series together. However, I always like Leila's acting and, of course, I love Raymond. Yeah, so usually in polls when I see no one vote for them, I vote for Leila and Raymond because I like to go against everyone else. LOL!

2) Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung : As you all may know, I love to read and write fanfiction. This couple is in my fave five mostly because of fanfictions. Seriously, I like them because of all their fans and their off-screen interaction. Mainly because I don't like the two time they are paired together. I hope their new series would make me like them ever more!

3) Raymond Lam and Bernice Liu : Basically, I love Bernice's carefree and shining personality; therefore, when she is paired up with Raymond in most of their functions, I can't help but like this couple. In addition, I really enjoy their interaction in real life! Oh, they look rather nice together, don't you agree? Hehe...

4) Raymond Lam and Charmaine Sheh: One word...actually one series. The Drive of Life. How often do I see a series where Raymond act so free and comfortable with his partner? Plus, I believe I see the most kissing scene from him in this series. Haha! Come on, you have to remember the epic scene on the bus, right? Yeah, got to love that!

5) Raymond Lam and Nancy Wu : Surprise? Yeah, I didn't really think about this too much but I really want to see a Nancy and Raymond pairing. She has a very sweet and upbeat personality. Therefore, I hope TVB will start promoting her to lead, so I can watch a Rancy pairing!

Hi, are you wondering where did Myolie, Linda, and Selena went??? Yeah, they are my fave too but at this point if I have to chose...yeah. I bet in a few month this will change...

*Special* Raymond Lam's Top 5 Pairing

Myolie Wu
Pairing: 4 (Eternal Happiness, Survivor's Law, The Drive of Life, The Master of Tai Chi)
Collaboration: 5 (Eternal Happiness, Golden Faith, Survivor's Law, The Drive of Life, The Master of Tai Chi)

Ever since Myolie outstanding performance in Golden Faith as a mental disable, she had been highly promoted by TVB into the Fa Dan category. Therefore, it is no wonder that she paired with Raymond for a total number of 4 times, starting from her minor role in Eternal Happiness to one of the leading roles in The Master of Tai Chi. Since these two had been promoted at almost the same time, they have many opportunities to work together.

(Notes: Honestly, I was actually kind of surprise that Raymond paired up with Myolie the most. Maybe it is the fact that they are often a part of a triangle (square) love story. For this pairing, I remember I enjoyed their chemistry in EH but it was in SL that I fell in love with them. One thing I find rather amusing is that in those four series, two of them is when Myolie loves Raymond but they never end up together and the other two times where Raymond loves Myolie, they end up together.)

Tavia Yeung
Pairing: 3 (Golden Faith, Twin of Brothers, Shall We State the Case)
Collaboration: 8 (Eternal Happiness, Golden Faith, Twin of Brothers, Yummy Yummy, Face to Fate, Heart of Greed, Moonlight Resonance, Shall We State the Case)

Both Tavia and Raymond have a long history together in the entertainment business. They started from the beginning in TVB acting class where they were classmates to now the leading roles of series with a large base of fans from all around the countries. Being in TVB for more than ten years, they had as many as 8 collaborations in various series. Although out of their 8 collaboration, they only managed to pair up three times, both Raymond and Tavia always provide solid performances and illustrated great chemistry off and onscreen.

(Notes: It seems like for the first two pairing which is in 2002, they didn't actually have a good ending, either Raymond goes to jail or he died. Personally, I believe Twin of Brothers is the series that showed me how much chemistry is between these two, especially since they both look beautiful/handsome in ancient series.)

Michelle Ye
Pairing: 2 (Lofty Waters Verdant Bow, Eternal Happiness)
Collaboration: 3 (Lofty Waters Verdant Bow, Eternal Happiness, Golden Faith)

This couple has to be the most likable and promoted when they first paired up as newbies. TVB has been trying to promote Michelle and give a chance to Raymond in Eternal Happiness. This set out the craze for teenagers for these two young and compatible couple. With the comedy romance in EH to the tragic love story in LWVB, fans are rooting for this couple. However, for the last few series before Michelle left, she seems to be getting more second-lead roles. Finally, she left TVB to take a chance outside in ATV and the movie industry. Truthfully, if Michelle stayed in TVB, she will have more chance to pair up with Raymond and this couple may become the favorite of TVB.

(Notes: EH is one of my all time favorite because of the chemistry between Michelle and Raymond. I absolute adore Raymond here and I believe his role in EH made me fell in love with this actor. I still remember in the old days when Winglin.com is bombarded with RayMic fan fiction. I had written one at that time, too. It was horrible. My first time…Oh well…LOL! This couple is lucky enough to get a storyline that are solely on romance and love. However, with Michelle gone from TVB, it is unlikely they will reunited anytime soon in the future. )

Charmaine Sheh
Pairing: 2 (Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion, The Drive of Life)
Collaboration: 3 (Yummy Yummy, Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion, The Drive of Life)

Putting the age difference aside, Charmaine and Raymond must be the pairing with the most nature chemistry. In LWOLAP, they convince us of their chemistry and acting but it is in The Drive of Life that we see the most natural interaction. Charmaine started off much sooner than Raymond and it was almost unlikely that they would pair up because of the age and promotion difference. Yet, they prove us wrong with their outstanding performance in LWOLAP and then their pairing in TDOL. Being close friends off-screen, they managed to gain many fans and supporters.

(Notes: I would like to say that Raymond act the most carefree and natural in front of Charmaine, especially in their kissing scene. Being a Raymond’s fan for so long, I was quite surprise when Raymond kissed Charmaine without holding back. It felt natural, not like kissing for the sake of the plot or with a small sense of uneasiness since they are onscreen. Personally, their pairing causes me to open my eyes to Charmaine. )

Linda Chung
Pairing: 2 (Heart of Greed, Moonlight Resonance)
Collaboration: 2 (Heart of Greed, Moonlight Resonance)

This couple sort of give us the feeling of high school sweethearts. Their popularity rise through to the storyline and success of HOG. In addition, their rumors of dating also spiced up their popularity, causing them to become targets of many media attention. Both Raymond and Linda have the compatibilities in look wise because of Raymond’s youth and charm paired with Linda's innocence and sweetness.

(Notes: I really enjoy watching Raymond and Linda in HOG. They looked very nice together and since their plot is revolving around romance, it made them into a very sweet couple. However, the attempt to reenact this in MR was an complete failure because their plot lack substance. In addition, the constant linkage between those two in the media does have an negative effect on some of their fans.)

***Overall, this is solely my opinion and my point of view. I hope no one is offended. I will welcome any comments and opinions! ***

Japanese Galileo VS HK Galileo:Shall We State the Case (Part 2)

My two cents on "Shall we state the case" costume fitting:

Raymond Lam: His costume gave me the most surprise. Seriously, I thought he just came from one of this album promotion or something. In addition, he look rather young and sophisticated as a physic professor. However, since I am not sure how his character will be portrayed I won't comment too much. Compared to the Japanese version, the professor mostly wear a suit or his lab coat. However, when he is doing sports, he dressed very sporty and sexy.

The only thing we know so far is that Raymond is going to be a professor that explained everything with physic. This is similar to the original. However, we can already see the difference in style because Raymond dressed more trendy and the reporter exposed that he is from the upper class. In the picture above, I'm pretty sure this is a family picture or that they are co-worker in the university. Either way, we can see that it is shouting professional and class.

Tavia Yeung: Typical. Her costume was seen in multiple police series but it would be the first time on Tavia. However, her costume will definitely change after she enter CID under Kenneth. Therefore, I can't comment much on her style. In the Japanese version, the detective always wear dark color clothes, whether it is a sweater or her coat. She always carry her briefcase. In a way, I kind of hope Tavia would let her long hair down similar to the detective. She would look very pretty that way.

Kenneth Ma: His role shock me the most. A smart detective who love to play around. It seems like in the interview he will have three or more girlfriends. He also reveals that for the first five episodes, he would have many intimate scenes with his co-star and bed scenes. I have to say that this sound like a very interesting character. In the Japanese version, I believe he is similar to the actor who were promoted to another department while the rookie detective replaced his place. In the entire series, he only appeared a handful of time but he look rather charming and handsome, similar to Kenneth, except there is nothing to his personal life.

Bernice Liu: Beautiful. We almost know nothing about her role except that she is one of Kenneth's girlfriend and she looks very beautiful and smart. At this point, we are not too sure how big her role is because it was said that she was a big guest role. (Maybe like Alfred?) However, she is definitely not in the original. Hopeful, she will play an important role that are brilliant and charming.

***This will be the last time I will mention the Japanese Drama because I really don't want to compare them any longer. Instead, I will concentrate on "Shall we state the case". ***

Japanese Detective Galileo VS HK Detective Galileo (Part I)

First of all, I would like to say that this title is misleading, especially since I know nothing about the HK Detective Galileo except it's costume fitting is in two days. In addition, it is say that HK Detective Galileo is inspired by the Japanese one; therefore, I'm not sure how much the producer will take from the original. Since I just finish watching the Japanese Galileo, I decided to post a prior-to-costume fitting to after-costume fitting (assuming that there will be more information).

Prior warning: Spoiler Ahead.

Well, I got to say that I fell in love with this drama. I love the entire concept with solving crime through science (I always love science.) and the main characters. This has to be the first Japanese drama I ever watch and I find myself enjoying it tremendously, even though it was a little irritating to focus on the screen while trying to keep up with the English subtitle, I find it very satisfying. One thing I like most about it is that they manage to solve the mystery in every episode. This way I didn't have to wait for two or three episodes before a mystery would be solve. Another thing is, the crime wasn't too gruesome. I admit that I'm a person that can be easily spook but this drama didn't spook me out. Instead, in a sense, it is similar to Forensic Heroes. It kept me in a constant stage of curiosity and anticipation. I have to admit that in one or two cases, I can almost predict what happened and who was the killer but they always added something more to surprise me. I like to be surprise.

One reason I believe why this drama was such a success was the chemistry between the two main leads. Professor Yukawa Manabu and Detective Utsumi Kaoru have so much chemistry. They are the complete opposite with different views on life but they managed to bring out the best in each other. Professor Yukawa is a brilliant scientist who explained and viewed everything with physics and science. He believe that anything can be explained through science experiments and equations. In addition, he is not only handsome but he do everything perfect, whether it is sports or cooking. His true passion in life is science, which led to his continuous involvement with Detective Utsumi, a rookie detective who is passionate about solving crimes. She is persistence, determine, and emotional. She constantly asked Yukawa for help but she admired his brilliance and she knew he will find out the mystery behind the case. Most often, he find out the how and she find out the why. In a way, they are the perfect partner, the perfect fit.

Yet, the greatest regret in this drama was that there was nothing romantic involve between those two. In several episodes, I could felt the trust and admiration from Utsumi to Yukawa and in some instantaneous I felt Utsumi is important to Yukawa but there was no dying love or even hand holding. It was in the last episode when they hugged that I realized Utsumi is a head shorter than Yukawa. Imagine my surprise! Haha! In ten episodes, the progress is perfect but I can't help but wonder if it would be a little longer, would a romance develop? However, thinking back, I realized that the drama is almost perfect. I guess it will be up to the audience (Me) to predict what would happen as the story progress. For me, I would believe it will take a lot of getting to know each other but they will finally be together.

Furthermore, it was entertaining to see the humor in this drama. It was not too over the top but I have a few laughs. In addition, I also need to praise the supporting actors for doing such a great job. The Professor's assistant, the detective partner, and the coroner. Sometime they may be a little irritating (the detective partner in particular) but they help bring out the story as well.

Now, let me talk a little about the main actor and actress. I believe they brought out the best in their characters. I got to say that I fell in love with the actor Fukuyama Masaharu as the professor. He is such a werido/nerd/hottie/brilliant/interesting man. I especially love it when he always start off saying that he is not interested in solving crime but when a mystery take place, he would say that it is truly amusing. Moreover, whenever he solve the mystery, he started writing equations on the nearby thing, whether it is on the street or on a car window. LOL! In the meantime, the actress, Shibasaki Kou, is also very adorable. Her expressions is truly amusing. It was very easy to fall in love with this rookie who does everything by instinct. He goes by reason, and she goes by instinct. Truly amazing!

Lastly, I would like to comment on my prediction of how TVB will be 'inspired' by this drama. Since it is a TVB series and it is most likely that it will be 20 episodes or more. I am almost 100% sure that they will solve each case with every two to five episodes, which is a downside for me but anticipated. Moreover, since it is TVB, we will except romance, which is a upside for me. (^v^) Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung, Kenneth Ma and possibly Bernice Liu. We already knew Raymond is the professor and Tavia as the detective but what about Kenneth and Bernice. If they are not a guest star for a case, I would predict that Kenneth is either Tavia's partner or Raymond's assistant (rooting for this role because he is hilarious.) As for Bernice, she could only be the coroner because that would be the perfect role for her. Trusting TVB, they will add a love story for Bernice and Kenneth and possible more characters. As for the cases, I rather hope they may copy one or two but not the entire series (since it will be disappointing) and trusting HK audiences (No offense) they will probably complaint about the similarity. *sighed* Let's hope the writer came up with original ideas and maybe collaborate with a scientist for more ideas. I am crossing my fingers for this series because I'm a huge Raymond Lam's fan and I am looking forward for FungYi. Bernice and Kenneth is like the cherry on top. Haha! Well, two more days till the costume fitting, so I'm hoping for the best! In addition, I need to thank Raymond and Tavia for introducing me to this fabulous drama, figuratively. (^-^) This will be my most anticipated series for 2010 (I think it will be almost impossible to be air this year?) I can't wait!

Summer Resolution

I believe you all heard of New Year's Resolution, right? Well, this time around I decided to make a Summer Resolution. As I looked at my planner today, I realized that half of the summer has already gone by. I have a little less than two month till school is back on full force. Two months seem like a long time to accomplish anything, right? Well...not really. Therefore, I decided to make a list of summer resolution I hope to fulfill before September 1!

<>
<>
Let's start with 'Illumination'...my heart and soul. Well, maybe not like that (LOL!) but this story took up almost a year of my time. Before the summer ends, I hope to present the conclusion to this story. There are still many details I need to sort out and I still need a good finish. However, I am 95.5% sure that I will finish it on time. I'm crossing my fingers for the best! (^v^)
<>

Now, let's move on to 'Dusk of Dawn', my collection of short stories. As you all know, I am currently in the middle of Berray's story. I still need to write the conclusion but it should end in two or three more chapters. I haven't exactly decide on the next one but it is highly likely that it will be Rady (Raymond and Ady) because I was inspire by this plot. It should be slightly more touching than the others. I really like what I pictured in my mind at this point but I'm not sure how the 'finish product' would turned out. Anyway, judging from my poll, it seem like most people are looking forward to FungYi. If nothing comes up, that should be next, following Rady!

Since I'm on the topic already, I will give you all a slight idea of how the other short stories are coming along in my complicated mind. I already have the general plot for Myolie, Nancy, and Selena but I still need to work with Charmaine. As for the potential actresses, it seems like Fala, Kate and Linda is on the to-be-considered stage. If I could come up with a plot with them, I might give them a story. By the way, I am leaning toward something dark. In addition, I also need to make separate posters for all of them. Woah, this is a long-term commitment. I hope to write as much as possible before things start to fade away...

In addition, I hope to continue making this blog active and interesting. I will try my best to come up with interesting topic to talk about. Lately, I haven't been watching any new TVB series. I don't know. It just doesn't seem that interesting anymore. However, I heard Burning Flame 3 got good rating, even though HK rating doesn't really do some series justice. I think I will give it a try, especially since I really like Wong Hei. Although, I didn't watch that many series lately, I still keep up to date of what is airing in HK and what series is being film. I'm looking forward to some very anticipated series at the end of this year!

At last, I should reveal something of my upcoming story after 'Illumination'. I have the general plot in my head. So far it is leaning toward being a FungYi/Ronolie/Kency/Samiela/Charvin

/Boselena??? However, it is not settle yet. I still have many things to figure out.

<>

Anyway, that's all for my Summer Resolution. There is still many more things I want to do but that have to do with my personal life and I don't want to bore all of you to death...So that's it! (^o^) Thanks for hearing me rant!

R = Robot Raymond

Why I call Raymond a robot? Here's why:

- 7/10-11 (Promotion of PowerRoot at Malaysia)#
- 7/11 (Fan meeting at Singapore)#
- 7/12 (Promotion of PowerRoot at Malaysia)#
- 7/16 (FungYi's series)*
- 7/20 (Fung & Kay movie)*
- 7/22 (Mini-concert in Vietnam)#
#Schedule credited to FungForever
*Not sure how reliable are those dates.

Allow me to say one word first..."Wow"!

First of all, I would like to say that I check for Raymond's news frequently on AsianFanatics because they usually have the latest news before it is even confirm. Thank's to all his fans (^v^). However, lately I find the posts to be too... confusing. Why? Not because it was confusing to understand but it was almost impossible for me to follow up on it. That's when I realized that the problem is not the posts but Mr. Raymond Lam's schedule. In one post, a fan is excited about him going to Singapore...another to Vietnam. I guess I lost count. Therefore, I went to his official fan site, FF, to see what was going on. And I was shock at the pile of work up Mr. Lam's sleeves. Being his loyal fan, I have already feel anxious for him when he started preparing for his concert. When I learned that he was filming GTL and preparing for his concert, I honestly worried about his health and his performance. Yet, he surprised me by performing amazingly. I was so happy and was looking forward for him to recharge his energy and start out fresh for his upcoming TVB series with Yi.

Now, any hour ago I just found out he is going to do a movie with Kay. I was like "What are EEG and TVB doing to this poor man? He just pulled himself through his concert and finished filming GTL. Now, you are pulling him to do a movie and a series together??? As well as a mini-concert, the coffee promotions, and another album coming up! Don't get me wrong, I understand that for an artist to be busy is a good thing but what about health, family, and even love. Work-life balance is important. Yet, I know he will pull through because he had in the past. I remember him filming both HOG and DOL at the same time and both series came out fabulous. Overall, I just want to say I hope Robot Raymond would be recognized and appreciated for his work. He is truly amazing .

Posters

Hi, since I have some free time on hand I decided to create some posters for the short stories in Dusk of Dawn. Since I finished Nightfall and started Untamed Spirit, I made posters for them.

Anyway, I have fun making it. Cheers!!!
