Sasamii commented on the post, Tavia Yeung and Him Law Reunite as In-Laws in “Modern Dynasty”

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 13:22:28 -0500

It’s a trite but nostalgic plot. I’m about 5 episodes into it, and am enjoying it so far for what it is. However, for its big budget, I’m not really understanding some of the makeup choices for the women. Most of them are looking older than their age (was surprised to see that Rain is only in her late 30s). I don’t think it’s the women themselves,… Read more

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 12:04:55 -0400

Carina looks a bit like Louisa Mak to me. Don’t know why, but Yvette doesn’t appeal to me.

Some of the contestants were really inarticulate with poor diction, I hope TVB gives them some lessons before putting them in front of our TV screens as hosts and actresses.

I didn’t expect to like Fabienne but she was charming. I don’t think she’ll… Read more

Jessie, that’s exactly what I thought about Katerina! Same toothy smile.

Sun, 20 Jun 2021 04:27:07 -0400

Good for Roxanne! I like her attitude, that she is strong enough to get through heartbreak. It feels like she knows her worth, and that is definitely attractive!

Ewwww. He’s so gross. I always feel like I need a shower to wash the stink off after I read stories about him.

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 17:59:00 -0400

@theyenman yeah, but you know, I’m not going to fault anyone for their style this year (outside of the entertainment industry). I myself haven’t gotten a haircut in a year because of covid. Maybe he’s been staying […]

sasamii commented on the post, Linda Chung’s Kids Look Just Like Her

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 17:57:22 -0400

@theyenman for the most part, I think you’re right. But on the pic where both kids are standing by themselves, the daughter’s smile kinda reminds me of Linda.

@tt23 I really liked this show and the ending as well! I really wish they kept the original name (Amelia’s Rhapsody) because it feels more true to the plot… it’s about a woman who finds herself and her journey i […]

@jimmyszeto he’s got three kids to support. If TVB is willing to pay him big bucks to be in bad productions, I guess I can’t fault him for making the money while he still can.

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 21:43:02 -0500

Benjamin does come off as rather insecure on this issue. He’s not the first HK male celebrity to marry into a rich family, but it feels like he’s the one giving the most reaction (and therefore getting more media […]

@hetieshou prime example of “do as I say, not as I do”. Which… doesn’t work.

Fri, 12 Feb 2021 01:20:17 -0500

@tomtom I have to agree with you here. How is this new or innovative when there is already an exact version of this show already? If he really means to do something for TVB (and not merely collect a large […]

Anyone watching this? I tried and couldn’t get through the first episode… it was so cringey! Does it get better??

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 01:29:53 -0500

@gnomageddon good observation, I never considered that he was shy in real life. He does seem reserved in his acting, and I actually had a difficult time relating to any of his characters outside the one from “come […]

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 06:44:24 -0500

For some reason, Yoyo gives off a melancholic vibe to me. I like her as an actress, I think she’s gotten better and more beautiful through the years. She just seems sad for some reason. If there is indeed […]

Very surprised with best actress win, thought Mandy h […]

You know, I never liked watching Fala on TVB for many of the same reasons people are listing: poor Cantonese, poor acting (especially in that “Triumph in the Skies” role… so painful). I also never found her p […]

Sat, 05 Dec 2020 07:30:47 -0500

I’m not sure if underused is the correct term here… the storyline they wrote out for Raymond’s character was just SO boring. If the writers expanded it any more, I would have fast forwarded even more of this s […]

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 03:37:13 -0500

@dramas4me That would be interesting, and would make sense since being heavier is detrimental to a HK actress’ career. However, this isn’t the first time Roxanne has gained weight, so it could just be a yo-yo […]

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 01:45:32 -0400

I dunno. One day recently I was listening to a random HK 90s playlist in Spotify and an Andy song came on. I still didn’t feel like listening to him, and skipped the song.

Her acting has improved, I don’t mind her role in the drama so far. She’s cute and energetic, and has good chemistry with Owen.

Aw bummer. Figures that one of the most appealing TVB actresses is actually smart enough to find a career outside of it. I really enjoyed seeing her on-screen!

Kudus for her though, I can imagine how much hard […]

Fri, 04 Sep 2020 19:40:30 -0400

@m0m0 yep, it’s right on the official Mulan Disney+ page… the wide release to Disney+ subscribers (no additional $30 USD) is on December 4th, only a few months away. Not sure how it will be with other countries though.

sasamii commented on the post, Disney’s “Mulan” Is Pulling In Good Reviews

Fri, 04 Sep 2020 16:36:55 -0400

Good reviews… but $30 USD in addition to the monthly Disney+ subscription is pretty steep. It does become “free” to watch in a few months… I don’t see why most people won’t just wait, regardless of reviews.

@bubbles23 that’s true… it depends on where your career is, I guess. It’s a great jumping point for completely new artists, but there gets to be a point where I’m sure they want more. Stanley Cheung is u […]

Fri, 04 Sep 2020 03:32:50 -0400

Being cast in one of these TVB sitcoms feels like a great stroke of luck. These sitcoms do well in the ratings, and audiences see the actors every night, which leads to high visibility/recognition, and probably […]

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 01:26:09 -0400

@littlefish you’re right… they probably seem especially spoiled also because despite his family ties, Nic really did work really hard in his youth to make a name for himself.

sasamii commented on the post, Nicholas Tse Complains About His Guest on "Chef Nic"

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 17:04:52 -0400

Ha, I mean, Nic has a point. The entourage probably doesn’t get paid much and depend on people like him to subsidize them. I imagine him as the grumpy industry veteran, shaking his fist and saying, “back in MY […]

3. He’s China-friendly

He would probably have to do a lot worse before being kicked o […]
