“Highs and Lows” Premieres at 33 Points

TVB police drama, Highs and Lows <雷霆掃毒>, opened to good reception on Monday, September 24. The premiere episode averaged 31 points, peaking at 33 points.

Cast members, Michael Miu (苗僑偉), Ben Wong (黃智賢), Elaine Ng (吳綺莉), Ella Koon (官恩娜), and the crew met for dinner to watch the first episode over dinner. Ordering thirty-six crabs per table, the group wished that the ratings would soar to 36 points.

“We have confidence in the series. We don’t know if it can reach 36 points, but there are many compelling reasons to watch the drama,” Michael said. Raymond Lam (林峯) will be portraying a cop for the first time in his acting career. Leaked spoilers regarding Kate Tsui’s (徐子珊) “Drug Queen” and tragic fate have fueled online discussions regarded the challenging role, improving her opportunity in the TV Queen race.

Raymond Lam was absent from the Highs and Lowsdinner since he had already flown to Beijing for another promotional engagement.

Responding to Raymond’s comments that Michael is very “chok” and “man,” Michael laughed, “He is over-praising me! Who can be more ‘chok’ than Raymond? When he refers to me as being ‘man,’ does he mean that I’m older than him? A young man should know what is the proper way to speak. The premiere episode is now broadcast and he’s not seen anywhere! He’s lacking loyalty!”

Michael joked, “The bill is Raymond’s! I don’t know who is supposed to treat for dinner. No one paid, so I footed the bill. As long as everyone is happy.”

      1. i think so,tvb have to improve the quality of their drama’s in order to fight the television war with cti and now tv.i think the upcoming dramas will be better and better.i hope they will reach the level of the 80’s and 90’s again

  1. downloaded last night but haven’t had time to watch it yet. Michael is hot!

    1. I agreed, Michael is hot!
      At first when I saw that he grew a beard, I thought it makes him look older but actually he looks really hot and “chok”.

      1. Yes, the facial hair definitely makes Michael look more “chok” and “man”!

    2. yes i agree he is charismatic as always and the drama rocks,i think its maybe better than laughing sir.

      1. But he is called Laughing Gor, not Sir. Laughing Gor is famous, not Laughing Sir.

  2. i really like michael. he is very manly. i would love to see raymond act as a cop for the first time. let see his skills. finally a new character for him.

  3. yay for Michael Miu, the original ‘chok’ king. Raymond has no game compared to Michael.

    Michael looks very manly and handsome in this series.. i love his side-buzz cut and the hip glasses. Goes to show that men are like fine wine..they get better with age.

    1. LOL, some men age like fine wine. But MM is definitely one of them. I find him much more attractive and masculine than loads of TVB’s younger siu sangs.

  4. raymond role is great this might be the role that gets him the tv king but hes role doesnt outshine the other 2 male leads yet

  5. Epi 1&2, the series rock! Michael, LF & Ben were terrific and so damn goodlooking! Michael gonna be the TV King!

  6. good start but i will not have such high high hopes because tvb can somehow mess things up

  7. Omg. Michael Mui is so hot now. He get hottier and hottier. The mustache is so sexy on him. He’s tall, handsome, tan, mustache, loving husband. His wife is so lucky. Hahaha Even tho, he’s 54 years old, he is dripping hot. His acting is getting better and better. I thought Raymond is hot, Michael is manly hot.

    1. raymond compared to michael make raymond look like a child,just like justin bieber.haha

      1. Of course if u compare them, LF looks like he could be 3 gor’s son!

        Btw, JB is a cutie pie, if u ignore the jail bait aspect.

      2. Oh, quote from 3 Gor himself: “does he mean that I’m older than him? A young man should know what is the proper way to speak.”

        Can change a little to you, unless you are not a young man.

      3. @fox, oh i’m sorry but raymond still sucks.quote from CYF “speaking hard doesn’t mean you are not polite”,you can blame if you cant stand with my comment. but for me its just freedom of speech.

      4. I don’t care that you think LF is sucked, don’t be worried. You can think he is watever you want, not my business. Just that 3 Gor dun like to be old, lolz. Your comment is making him old, so he won’t feel happy with you :P.

        In case you don’t understand, I teased you in the above comment.

    2. lol, i think you are the one that dont understand,whatever blablabla thats what you can haha.

      1. I dont have the responsibility to explainingn you, do it yoursef. And you forgot to change email when transforming to another member. Next time be more careful.

  8. If this drama is as good as the trailer has shown, then I believe it can beat WI as the highest rate drama of the year.

    1. I have my bets that it will beat out WI. The first 2 episodes were already really good!

  9. Yes I love a police drama and this one seems to be getting better every episode! From the spolier hope Michael is not the traitor. Not a big fan of Kate but she looks good in the first few episodes.

  10. Michael is the man! He look hot in this drama! As for Raymond… well not a fan of him so no comment!

  11. I really don’t care about any of the male stars on TVB, but when M.Miu shows up, I don’t miss it. I so love him that I wished I will shed a tear when he isn’t on TV anymore (I’m hetero-male).

  12. MM is awesome! comparing LF to MM? that must be a joke! LF looks like a lil boy, while MM is a MAN!

      1. LF is only 3.5 years old! Always soooooo very cute. He is doing an awesome job playing the smart, cool cop! Love Fung!

  13. KT’s facial expressions still need much polishing but as usual an eye candy x)

  14. How the hell Raymond Lam survive when he goes over to car to stop it without further damage to his body. Just a scratch to his forehead. I really don’t think he could survive the impact in ep 1.

  15. Kate still sucks in this series. Overdoing it with her face, outfit, dialogue, etc.

  16. This is very similar to “Lives of Omission”, pace of this series seems face. Some parts are boring with Micheal Miu and Jackie Chen’s mistress divorce… Not interested really in family affairs in a cop series on the cop side
