@m0m0 Even before her participation in MHK, she rejected the proposal of her college sweetheart, who is a wealthy 2nd generation in Taiwan (she lived with him (and his family) for a year and she find old money lifestyle stifling for her. Hence she returned to HK and her mum suggested she should participate in MHK while searching for hotelier job. She still keep in touch with her ex-sweetheart as a friend though. After joining TVB, she dated another older businessman/prominent dentist. They broke up because Charmaine do not want to get married so young. The man later got married to another prominent socialite/actress (now divorced). Another example is when she was dating that ass Benny Chan, she was pursued by a son of famous tycoon (surname L). He try to gift her a Ferrari after hearing she told the press she likes the new car during an event. Back then, the press already caught wind and dropped blind items about this tycoon heir attempting to ask her out to yatch trip and expensive gifts. Charmaine rejected him by telling press that someone did offer to get her the Ferrari, but she rather earn her own money and buy one herself. That heir later courted and married another MHK in a lavish billion dollar ceremony. In conclusion, even though Charmaine was promoted by TVB, it's no easy life. You can see many other MHK (even the winner and 1st runner up of MHK1997 scandal fighting over the same tycoon) are jumping on chances to get married to rich men. She stuck to Benny but thank god get rid of his cheating ass. I shall not comment on KC, because I think she is happier now with her life and career.

@m0m0 By her third year as an actress at TVB, on her 5th filming project, The New Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre where she played Chow Chi Yeuk, one of the leading casts, she was already acting better than most TVB actresses today that had been at TVB for 10+ years. This is why TVB heavily promoted her early on in her career because she had talent, the work ethic and the willingness to learn from her elders. A stark contrast to the actors born in the 90's.

it didn't make sense b/c tvb heavily promoted her. if she wasn't promoted the way she way, she might consider otherwise. wealth and $$ would suddenly become very tempting for broke persons

@wm2017 @bubbles23 i don't think it is by choice. i heard that once you embark on the PS road, you just have to keep doing it. lt's like the material deteriorates after a certain period of time or if they accidentally bumped into it and damage it then it warrants a replacement. i think this is the case why we see beautiful people suddenly get botched up.

@m0m0 I am not good at these things either but some of them are so obvious. This girl above is already very pretty compares to her old self not sure why they still need to do something. There was another Korean actress Im Soo-hyang. She looked really pretty back in her debut days but still you can tell she had some work done but still passably pretty but now you look at her, her nose is another new nose and she just odd and not at all normal looking. lol...haha Don't forget Lee Da Hae was it? Not sure if she was pretty naturally before but now also she messed up all nose as well. All of these 3 that I know seem to be fixated on the nose. hahaha

so obvious...even someone like me can tell. i am not good at all when it comes to these things.

my favorite boy band member getting married. a reminder that times are no longer like what it used to be...young....

@m0m0 no budget lol, can't compete with those multi million dollar costume-fantasy dramas from China. Was their last historical drama the one with Shaun Tam?

i wish they would make ancient periodic dramas but no more....

@bubbles23 alot of people would argue that it indeed works. i was told that the more successful an asian person is, the more they would believe in feng shui. i think they credited the success of japan to the feng shui set up between tokyo and kyoto. in fact japanese people are a big believer in feng shui too. not sure about koreans and i bet malyasian, singaporians, and vietnamese too due to large chinese presence. i think it does have some merits such as setting up your home might affect your mode thus affecting how you might do something. but that's the extent, i don't think it actually brings luck.

@littlefish i am glad that the fans have some sense in them instead of blind worth. her bullying attitude is not okay.

@m0m0 yeas, the mixed up pronouns pissed me off. Made me go back and forth wondering who the eff they were taking about lol

@m0m0 the fans want her out lol. And I agree, he and she is all mixed up!

i am confused....the pronouns are all over the place and are the fans defending her or want her out??

@m0m0 Lol and he's still not interested "Bosco could only let out a chuckle"

the younger one is always cuter, so hard not to like the younger one more.... i notice that i favor the younger more but she's honestly a much better kid than my older.

reads like she couldn't wait to swallow him live....

@m0m0 the smile is recognizable

@m0m0 Funny thing is my best friend who is a big fan of Raymond said that same thing. She did not like his ex and thinks this one is a lot better.

@m0m0 Well, I still don't get all the negativity w/the ex Karina? I mean, she was young and dating a rich 2nd or 3 whatever generation so she got all goodies and attention from him. Was it her fault? Dude took away her most youngest years and pretty sure it was beneficial for both so I didn't get why all that negativity w that ex. haha lol....I don't like RL or ex or this current so just saying I didn't get it. haha lol..
