SO excited for this!!! Been waiting for this to air. Finally something worth watching on TVB. I haven’t watched any drama since Murder Diary last year.

Wow sequel for this, and forensic heroes. Why are we getting sequels for such mediocre (at best) shows? @TVB TV viewership ratings is not everything, can we have some prioritization of quality scripts please.

Vincent and Kara not shortlisted for their roles in Murder Diary? Absolute BS.

Roxanne looked the best to me. She looked very radiant w her makeup and hair and suit. Sisley looks good as usual but I prefer her with short hair, it makes her look more unique. Same for Koling, prefer her with the mid-short length hair that makes her stand out a bit more. Also a lot of the artists are looking quite aged.

Looking forward to Brutally Young 2 and that’s about it. Since Barrack O’Karma 2 is not mentioned in the 2022 lineup, I hope this means it’ll be airing this year? One can hope…

Glad to see Roxanne with a lead role! The cast looks refreshing too. Not a huge fan of Stephen Wong’s acting but Hugo Wong has always been good.

boomer commented on the post, Rosina Lam Eyes Best Actress Award

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 14:26:21 -0400

She’s quite a good actress, not sure if BA worthy but that’s super subjective anyway (if Natalie Tong can get it…). I think her most memorable performance that I’ve seen is in 公公出宮. She was quite good in 收規華 too. I think she did a decent job in her first lead role (?) in 十二傳說. Personally think she’s better than Priscilla Wong.

This is the first time that none of the wins were undeserving. Maybe I’m biased because pretty much all the winners were who I wanted to win, including Best Drama! Only slightly sad that Brutally Young didn’t get […]

I hope Line Walker 3 and Legal Mavericks 2 don’t make it into the top 10 ratings. So that Brutally Young can stay at #10. That was such a good drama. I just re-watched it again.

And now they’ve loaded so many big names in the sequel, I don’t think it’s gonna fare well, having to split screen time between so many leads and end up no one gets enough development.

Massively looking forward to Barrack O’Karma 2 and Murder Diaries next year! Life-changing Truth looks interesting as well, looks like another dark mystery-suspense drama led by Shaun. Will give the medical dramas a miss.

@coralie Yup I noticed that too. Could be pretty much why they chose to marry women much younger than them; wanted to ‘guide’ their wives and wanted their wives to look up to them.

Why Natalie keeps receiving lead roles I can never understand. She’s so boring. Grace Wong has so much more lead presence and charisma than her.
