Barrack O’Karma- Selena Li and Joel Chan
金宵大廈-李施嬅, 陳山聰

This was the black horse of the year. The drama was unexpectedly well received due to its creative stories and well-written romance between Selena and Joel’s characters which encompasses multiple life times. In their past lives, she was a nightclub dancer and he was a policeman. Now, she is an air stewardess and he is a security guard for their apartment building. Their characters are always close enough to touch, but never have a happy ending and thus end up with only memories and longing for each other.

    1. @m0m0 Although I haven’t watched Come Home Love (esp since so many episodes) and not yet The Man Who Kills Troubles. I agree. Although I felt their relationship was a bit rushed (but it’s explanatory esp since the drama only had 20 episodes) their relationship put me in a whole lot of roller-coaster emotions. I cried so much in that drama. I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotionally involved in a drama except for Barrack O’Karma. For Big White Duel, I preferred Kenneth’s and Ali’s characters Tong Ming and Kennis tbh.

  1. Did not watch any of them except the Vincent Wong series. He’s cute and I think he pairs up well w/most of them actresses but I don’t think I would pick him to be afavorite OSC w/Natalie Tong. She just doesn’t do it for me. The girl who died in the series looks better w/him. 😀

      1. @m0m0 u might be right but let’s give her more chances, even Ali Lee, Priscilla and Sisley can lead so I’d rather watch Natalie 😉
