@kidd Oh wow! I don't think I have seen any of that - didn't follow tvb that closely after a while. Which would you recommend ? I am watching Bounty Lady now and it is hilarious!

@lml1977 I remember him from an early show with Shirley Yeung where he was a soldier or bodyguard and she was a princess. They were quite cute together. And of course On the Beat - those are the only two I remember him on. Seems that he was always typecast as impetuous young man thereafter....

@alluka I think that makes sense. Ron Ng is not a fantastic actor but I do think he has a likeable vibe - Han among was a good character and he did embody it well. Nothing wrong with being a likeable actor (like Zhang Han) as opposed to a good actor - some careers are built on that!

@anon Yes , it is and I think completely subbed - they are really quick. It's a bit melodramatic but OTP chemistry is excellent :)

@gingermessiah Try this show - he is really likeable ! Surprised me too!!

@anon Give the show a try - I was pleasantly surprised too! Agree that his tvb roles have not been fabulous so this was really quite eye opening

As Someone whO used to like Ron in his early TVB days before he got typecast and plateaued, am really impressed with him in the currently airing c-drama Return Of Happiness - he plays a cool chaebol and has fantastic chemistry with his female lead, Li Qin. His character is well written - a calm, collected, smart and devoted guy who doesn't take himself too seriously and surprisingly, Ron is pulling it off well! Well done to him !!

@isay Oh yes you are right! Thanks!!

btw, was very happy to see Tracy Chu instead of Grace Chan win best newcomer. Saw the former in Smooth Talker and the latter in Captain of Destiny and although both raw, Tracy has better acting chops.

Yay!!! So happy for Ruco and Elaine Yiu and Nancy Wu . Truly the audience awards!!

@dramadrama Yes - he should be with the female lead and not the second lead. Thank goodness he is the lead actor ! Someone should do a fanfic

Omg should have stopped at Ep 27. Chemistry between CPT and Mui is non existent and when did she even like him? Considering she loved 11th prince !! And Bowie and her had more chemistry too. Won't be surprised if they really did date hence the chemistry coz neither she nor timmy can act as if romantically inclined !! Raymond Wong's 2 second appearance is the CPT that should be.... Ruco really deserves tvb king as I can't believe I finished this badly written show just for him!

Yay for Ruco! Consider me a new fan - watching CoD purely for him so his acting is really good. Even Wallace Huo couldn't get me through Perfect Romance due to my apathy to Tang Yan !

@isay while the show had its flaws, I do appreciate the fact that the heroine wanted to go back to her time because she had family there rather than stay in an era where she doesn't belong "because of love". Her trust issues are also understandable considering she was cheated upon - pity that grace is a bit too raw to play this role. Even sadder is that I can't actually think of a tvb actress that can play this role too!

@isay good point!!

@dramadrama And yeah agree with you that 11th prince doesn't love ha sim but she stuck by him and he appreciated that. If she doesn't die with him, probably would have a worse ending as she would be hunted too. In a sense I get that sentiment but this being a tvb drama, not fleshed out properly yet again

@dramadrama Just finished it too. At least it's clear that Mui loved the 11th prince but just doesn't trust him completely. In the end, she accepted CPT because of his immense love for her. Not the best but still tolerable. I however cannot see any chemistry between Mui and CPT - he really has to go back to Qing dynasty!

@isay Good point re dubbing - it would be a pity . For China dramas really got to pick and choose - some are really good and some are really with "alabaster face + whiny voices!". I just watched Nirvana in Fire so am biased now coz that was really well produced and eel acted. Wang Kai was not dubbed and he sounds totally good!

@isay I tend to agree with your analysis but sadly I think grace is not able to convey that effectively

@janet88 totally agree! Found a fan made YouTube video of Ruco/grace (up to ep 27!) to the ending song sung by Ruco - gonna watch that instead of the last few episodes which seems to be turning into a debacle.
