Please go away. Honestly why is this guy still in the industry. He's a late " bloomer" and even then he is totally replaceable, from looks to singing to acting.Not to mention he is getting old. Would much rather see Hubert.

@bubbles23 exactly my thoughts. Back in the day they were promoted in their 20s like Chilam Cheung and Louis Koo in the Condor series. Why is it these days young actors dont seem to be given any opportunities?

@bubbles23 I was so disappointed by this news when it first broke out. He had so much potential. I really enjoyed all his scenes with Michael.

@bubbles23 I'm glad that someone mentioned Jack Hui. I've like him since Mr.HK and always felt bad for him that he didn't get much promotion even when other Mr.HK winner did. He started out poor in acting, but, worked hard to improve and it showed in his later performance such that the effeminate chef in 'Love As A Predatory Affair'. I'm glad that 'Lo and Behold' gave him a breakthrough. He'is kinda busy with 'Lo and Behold' and other side activities he does with Mandy Lam now. Sitcom regular cast seldom have time for big roles in other series. Maybe after the sitcom ended he will get to play bigger roles in other series. He will be in the upcoming series 'Fist Fight'.

@bubbles23 Haha...exactly what i thought. She also got many opportunities after dating Kenneth.

Jacqueline is the next Grace Chan. Talks too much and does too little, as in poor acting.

@jimmyszeto @bubbles23 @passingby Joel has been with Tvb for over 20 years. It's such a pity that he only start to get promoted to lead status recently compared to many siu sungs fandans, who had joined the entertainment industry for only a short amount of time but had already been heavily promoted to leading status by Tvb.

@jimmyszeto that's unfortunate. He was promising in his acting.

Excited because it's produced by So Man Chung!

@bubbles23 The rising cop from Line Walker 2? Good suggestion! The guy has already been sacked for sexual harassment of his costar from the series....

Even this group of rising actors are over 30 y/o. Joel is probably the same age as Ruco. Only Hubert is under 30. Tvb really needs more young blood and young faces. Even though Joel and Benjamin got the wcting experience, their age shows when they smile. I don't understand why they don't experiment with casting different actors. Some guys who went through the Mr. HK path are barely promoted. Jack Hui and the guy who played the rising cop in Line Walker 2 don't get more meaty roles even with memorable roles.

@bubbles23 I thought she looks more like Sisley Choi?

The winner reminds me of last year's Kelly Ng who failed to place.

@bubbles23 I actually thought Succession War earlier scenes had better more awesome scenery. Then I wonder how come the king can go in and out of palace so often just to chat at great wall or some mountain view with river.

Idunno if it's because her voice is dubbed in both versions, but her character isn't thaaat outstanding. On the other hand, the cinematography of this drama is amazing!

@bubbles23 Or you need to become rich and powerful in the industry like Stephen Chow and Louis Koo (both of whom still “owe” TVB shows, as they had left before fulfilling their contractual obligations to the station) and build up enough clout where TVB doesn’t dare go after you.

@llwy12 woah that's insane! No wonder everyone applying for miss hk seems to be from a rich backgroud.... Only they can afford to live the actor life it seems

@bubbles23 It's a shame that SW did poorly in ratings. It was a great moody, unpredictable drama that was underappreciated.

Selena is a really underrated actress. She always brings her character alive. I didnt watch Mandy's series but I always felt that her acting lacks depth, as in I just see her acting and not telling a complete story. Ali is probably the highest rated one right now because BB has got a decent plot and good supporting characters that helps to show Ali's character. I don't think anyone from BTROC2 should be on the list. It was a drama made to satisfy the lack of tang dynasty scheming dramas for tvb and had a crappy script, poor character development and everything was just predictable. No amount of good performance from Alice would have saved this nonsense of a drama. Natalie's roles this year jusy shows that she did not deserve the BA. Completely flat, same expressions in every drama. Another forgetten one is Louisa So in Forgotten Valley. That was a nice drama.

@bubbles23 The problem with Lai Lok Yi is that all his performances are essentially the same – he’s basically portraying some version of John Ma in every drama. I’m actually surprised he’s even mentioned because honestly, his acting has never been anything to shout about.
