    @Anon
    @ivan I've trained myself to watch these garbage dramas for the nostalgia rather then for the plot. I suggest you should too.

    @Ivan
    this is the very reason why hk entertainment is dying. They put so much resources into a project to get all these marketable stars but give 0 attention to the plot. I watched the flying tiger 2 and gave up after 2 episodes.. loved all the casts whom I grew up with but the storyline is unbearable

    love the series! the director said that when he wrote the first part, there are 3 parts to it. I assume the 3rd part will be about mephi, cant wait

    @Ivan
    It’s good that tvb feels pressured and there’s competition. Hope this continues because a healthy competition will bring the best out of the 2. At the threshold of an era was rumoured to be made due to the pressure from ATV at the time haha

    jayne commented on Edwin Siu Announces He and Priscilla Wong Are Already Married
    @jayne
    @ivan The press always dubbed Edwin's "love rival" as Tony Hung, because Priscilla had partnered with him so many times before and they're close friends. Maybe Tony is just being playful and refused to shake Edwin's hand.

    llwy12 commented on Reasons Why “Another Era” Is One of TVB’s Lowest Rated Dramas of the Year
    @llwy12
    @ivan Yes, that did contribute, but less in this case, especially since, as @jimmyszeto already pointed out, the reception in Mainland was poor too (and Mainland even broadcast the series on their CCTV channel, which they rarely ever do). At the end of the day, Another Era’s failure boiled down to one thing: the script sucked. I think anyone who has followed HK series in the past decade or so can see that most of the series which have seen some amount of success with audiences (regardless of the TV station), especially in the past few years, have been ones where the story / subject matter is relatable to audiences in some way….the series that reflect what is happening in society currently and/or to common (ordinary) people like you and me, audiences have been especially able to resonate with. I think TVB’s thinking is too old-fashioned…yes, in the past, it was fine to make series that weren’t really realistic so audiences can have a temporary “escape” from their boring lives and perhaps have something to fantasize about, but nowadays, that isn’t the trend anymore. As a whole, people are more involved in their societies nowadays and with so many problems to deal with in their lives that they know they can’t escape from (yes, in a sense, people have finally woken up to the realities of their lives, lol), they want to be assured in the fact that others are going through the same thing and they aren’t alone in their struggles….when TV series reflect that reality, it can be very powerful, especially for people going through those same struggles – it’s like, finally, there’s someone out there who understands how I feel! This is why I’ve always been a fan of TV stations doing audience surveys every year (or every two years at minimum) so they can get a more up to date pulse on how audiences are feeling and can adjust accordingly (though of course, also depends on the way the survey is done, the audience pool, the questions asked, etc.). TVB doesn’t do audience surveys anymore because they don’t feel it’s needed….I remember a few years ago, when HKTV was still in the picture and the whole audience survey thing came up (since HKTV was doing not just audience surveys but also focus groups where they would get feedback on their series from audiences face-to-face), TVB even stated that the last time they did an audience survey was like in the 90s or something like that and they are not going to do one anytime soon because they already know what audiences want and since audiences’ tastes don’t change much (TVB’s thinking, not mine), management didn’t want to waste the time and resources….(which of course was another idiotic decision on management’s part because look where they are now – obviously they don’t know what audiences want or care about…either that or they are just banking on the fact that their target audiences will always be ignorant housewives who just have the TV on as background noise and won’t really pay attention anyway….).

    @ivan Think the ratings and reviews were poor in mainland too.

    @Ivan
    why is no one acknowledging the fact that the reason the rating is low because tvb broadcasted the episodes first in mainland china. those who are interested to watch would have already watched it online

    @KoKoMo
    @ivan I agree. I actually really like Life on the Line, and I like Joe in it. But I don’t think TVB will give him the award since he’s not realoh under TVB management anymore.
