Didn't watch the drama so commenting based on the photos and trailer. Yang Mi have been taking those young roles and participating in idol drama so don't see why Nini cannot. As for Zhang Zhen, appearance wise, he doesn't fit this role. I thought he is supposed to be some deity but he looks like a regular ageing human with an unsuitable hairpiece.

@bearbear Ironically though, there was never a sequel planned for LBIA – the purpose was to make the ending memorable, which it succeeded because that ending has been debated for years after the series aired and even now, 30 years later, people still talk about it (though there’s nothing “mysterious” about it anymore since the producer and the cast let the secret out of the bag already several years ago). I actually thought LBIA’s ending was clever and in my book, it’s one of the best TVB series endings ever (though also one of the saddest ever). With that said – I don’t have a problem with open endings, but it needs to make sense….the ones I hate most are when they deliberately keep the ending open for the purpose of filming a sequel, but then the sequel never gets filmed and we’re left hanging. I didn’t watch Big White Duel, but all my family and friends that did watch said the ending was poorly done….overall, from what I read in the entertainment forums, reactions to the ending have been a mixed bag. As much as I like Roger and most of the supporting cast, not planning on watching this series, as it sounds like a waste of time...

@bearbear didn't watch the show, how did it end?

@bearbear hahahhahaha reporters are so good at making up scenarios! They should work for TVB and would come up with better storylines!

These people are so inhuman. If they were indifferent to what she was going through back then, just ignore articles about it. Would they be happy if she killed herself because of the awful nickname? 没有最残忍只有更残忍.

@babycakes First they fell out because she cut her hair, then they proved their love by wearing matching color (black! How unusual!) to the event.

Never appreciate open endings unless the sequel is already in production. To this day I still cannot get over the opening ending of "Looking Back in Anger".

@bearbear I see. I don’t really follow her news or watch reality tv. Sad to see she’s that type of woman! I like her enough because she’s a great actress, and that she seems to have to deal with real life stuffs like postnatal depression, all the bad ends of pregnancy and giving birth, but it’s not cool to say stuffs about other and don’t follow yourself!

@littlefish I seem to recall too, reading articles speculating how her MIL wanted a grandson and her initial difficulty in doing so. There is nothing wrong to give in to family/in-law pressure, each has their own difficulty however, expecting others to live to a certain standard while not seeing the hypocrisy of oneself doing the opposite is a joke. If she is ineloquent and could not properly verbally support adoption then perhaps she should just keep quiet about it and silently support by donating to the cause. Now she is just coming across as someone who bows down to her in-laws while trying to be the righteous about having the "right" attitude to start a family. Did she not just months ago receive backlash when she and her husband went on reality show featuring celebrity couples and how she preached another celebrity wife of how one should be pampered by the husband - that she would never eat prawn unless her husband removes the shells for her.

@bearbear i think her in-law wouldn’t allow her that freedom. I remember there was an article saying how she received a lot of pressure from the in law to have children and multiple one at that. So maybe that’s why she said what she said? I could be wrong though, my memory ain’t as good as it used to be lol

I did not watch that reality programme so no idea if she really said that. However, if she did, she deserves to be called out. Until she starts adopting children and raising as her own, she is being a hypocrite and self-righteous. There is nothing wrong voicing support for adoption or even doing more by actually adopting one (like S Korean actor Cha In-Pyo and his wife Shin Ae Ra adopted 2 children after the birth of their only son). Yet this Barbie Hsu has two children of own while condemning others for doing exactly what she is doing. Why then did she not do what she preaches?

@orchid123 The article says he's 29 while she's 36. There were rumours about her promiscuity before and during her first marriage.

@bearbear Agree about Alex Fong. He looks more like he should be Zhao Zhijing in that poster. Also, he seems a bit too young to play Huang Yaoshi. Wish they'd gotten Michael Miu to reprise the role with his gold-grey hair.

@wm2017 refuse to acknowledge that 2014 nonsense, lol. Alex Fong is charming but not getting the Huang Yaoshi vibe from him in the poster. The two leading seem like imposters of Crystal Liu and Huang Xiaoming. Maybe they look better in the trailers than posters. This latest ROCH will expand Guo Xiang's role, which hopefully, will not turn the story into another disaster when scriptwriting tried to be overly creative.

@babycakes Didn't know that. In the article you have attached, she's blaming everyone beside herself for everything that the reporters are questioning her and more to paint herself as the innocent victim. Haha

@bearbear this Helen woman isn't so clean herself. She lied about her ethnicity, education and age. She is full vietnamese and not half Taiwanese. Lol https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3065670 https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3067811

Although one can excuse that feelings cannot be controlled, the difference between a human and an animal is the ability to decide what action should one be taking, how one should behave. Since that Helen comments that no one other than the parties should have a say in the matter, why then is she commenting about the misery of a third wheel? This latest scandal is yet another spouse cheating with a family friend, totally disgusting, hurting and insulting.

He sounds creepy. Maybe he thinks he is Jafar trying to woo Princess Jasmine by creeping her. Were there not professionals in the music studios when the pair started singing? How could they even let him pass?

A fan of "who's the murderer" and probably the only variety program I follow every season. Season 4 was disappointing, they were trying to make the cases difficult but ended up being ridiculous at ones. One or two guests weren't suitable but kept participating. Season 4 had more budget to work with but in comparison, the first 3 seasons were more entertaining. Regardless, still looking forward to next season. Crossing the fingers on the cases and they really need to bring back the original participants.

Currently watching Listening Snow Tower, not interested in the rest.
