Ruco Chan Talks TV King, Screenwriting Dreams
With the popular and critical success of A Fist Within Four Walls <城寨英雄>, it is pretty much a sure deal that we would get to see Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) sitting among the top five for TV King this year. The manhua-inspired kung fu drama, produced by Jazz Boon (文偉鴻), premiered on August 1 to record-shattering ratings, and continues to see a rise in viewership despite facing competition from the Rio Olympics. The TV King award is hot and ready for Ruco Chan.
“It’s not easy to be TV King,” said Ruco, who stars in Four Walls as the hot-blooded kung fu novice, Chor Au-kuen. “It gets harder and harder every year. Besides guaranteed talents like Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), Roger Kwok (郭晉安), and Bobby Au-yeung (歐陽震華), we also have [non-TVB] actors like Anthony Wong (黃秋生), Alex Fong (方中信), and Gallen Lo (羅嘉良) competing for the award. Strong competitors continue to defeat stronger rivals. It’s not an easy feat!”
On Shooting “A Fist Within Four Walls”
Four Walls, shot between August and November 2015, stars Ruco as Chor Au-kuen, an inexperienced but gifted martial arts novice who returns to the Kowloon Walled City to search for his long-lost sister. In the city he gets acquainted with various highly-skilled kung fu masters, and also uncovers the mystery behind his father’s murder fifteen years ago. Yuen Qiu (元秋), Philip Ng (伍允龍), Nancy Wu (胡定欣), Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪), and Grace Wong (王君馨) also star.
Ruco was one of the last Four Walls actors to get casted, leaving him only a month to prepare for his role. “When I first received the script, I was in the midst of shooting Brother’s Keeper II <巨輪II>. I was given only a few weeks to train physically, and also had to learn Bajiquan. I had to build muscle on top of that, too.”
To stay in the shape that is required for his role, Ruco worked out whenever he could. He did push-ups in between takes to maintain his physique, and went on a strict diet. “It was honestly a struggle. I was 163 pounds at the start of filming, but then dropped to 153 pounds. I went on a very strict diet to prepare for that arena fighting scene. On the night I completed the sequence, I went out to get a hamburger to award myself. It was so good!”
Kung fu dramas have always been extremely taxing to do, and injuries are unavoidable. Ruco recalled, “The one incident I remember the most was with KK Cheung (張國強). He fought with an umbrella and I used a really long staff as my weapon. In our fight, he accidentally poked the corner of my eye with his umbrella and it immediately formed a bruise. He couldn’t stop apologizing. But during take two, I accidentally hit him in the head with my staff. I knew something was off at the time, but KK continued to do the scene without stopping. It wasn’t until the director yelled cut when we all realized how serious his injury was. He had to get stitches. Now it was my turn to feel bad!”
Winning TV King “Gets Harder and Harder Every Year”
With the popularity and acclaim that Four Walls is getting, it is no surprise that Ruco is receiving all the buzz for TV King, but Ruco still think he has much to learn, and much to improve on. Winning TV King requires not only a good role, but also true talent.
“I would never say I don’t want to win it, but in my opinion, a real TV King and Film King is an actor who is versatile with a wide range. Like what Eric Tsang (曾志偉) has said before: a good actor is someone who becomes his character. This is why, in my opinion, I should not pester after the award.”
This year, Ruco will be competing against the likes of Bobby Au-yeung and Wayne Lai, veteran actors who have also headlined successful dramas this year, for TV King.
“It gets harder and harder every year,” he said. “Strong competitors continue to defeat stronger rivals. It’s not an easy feat!”
But even if Ruco ends up losing the award in the end, he has already won everything with Four Walls. A good role is hard to come by; a good script is even harder.
“Ratings is something that we actors cannot control. And while I’ve always been confident in Four Wall’s script, the best thing about this drama was the cast and crew, and our team spirit. From that alone, I’ve felt like I’ve already won something.”
Though Ruco will be busy filming new projects in the meantime, the TV King hopeful said he is looking for the opportunity to write his own screenplay. “I want to tell everyone my story. My mind’s been swimming with ideas. I want to do a story about a gay couple, or a couple in a troubled marriage, or anything with societal impact.”
“Four Walls” Spoilers? The Last 10 Episodes Will Be Big
Four Walls is intense, entertaining, and viewers are begging for more. There are only about two weeks of episodes left, but Ruco encourages fans to keep watching, because it’s only going to get better.
“When we were about halfway into filming, a cast member asked me if I’ve read the scripts after episode 20. His tone seemed to be implying something, so I immediately went to read it when I got back home. And it’s true! Something intense does happen, and I think it’s going to get an explosive response when it comes out!”
But Ruco refused to drop the spoiler, explaining that the producer has passed down orders for the cast to stay quiet. “Just wait! It’s better to watch it on your own!”

loving the show and the casts! Ruco is doing an awesome job! i do hope he wins this year.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to see Ruco screenplay, hope his wishes come true.
@hannah @isay @janet72 @kiki Of course he wants to win the award, since he wants to attain fame, glory, and high social status. That has always been his obsession, from the beginning. I guess no matter how much fame and money he have,he will still want more. A greedy person like him will never be satisfied despite of having everything. These pathetic, money grubbing fame seeker is probably going to spend the rest of his life chasing after fame, fortune and high status life.
Now that we’ve passed the halfway mark, I’m already dreading when the drama ends cos I’ll miss all the characters esp Kuen Lo and Diu Lan. But i can’t wait for the big reveal either! Such a dilemma! Ruco keeps getting better. Hope he wins this yr!
@isay the most memorable part was when Ruco collapsed after taking the drugs…his blood shot eyes and body spasms.
” A good actor is someone who becomes his character” , Ruco has already done it in many of his dramas and definitely deserves the tv king award. Even though tbb may eliminate him again this year, he has got recognition from majority viewers.
@66ksc yup…ruco has always become the character he is supposed to act. he is up against bobby and wayne lai for TV king award. even if he doesn’t get this award, I hope he gets the award for best character like the one in 张保仔.
@66ksc @sasamii Of course he wants to win the award, since he wants to attain fame, glory, and high social status. That has always been his obsession, from the beginning.

Hope Ruco does get best actor this year, his role in Fists is the most outstanding this year…
Not sure what dramas are scheduled for anniversary months this year….but Ruco I believe is currently the front runner so far based on what TVB has released so far..
For Ruco’s competitors for Best Actor, it would probably be Bobby & Wayne.
I like this clean cut Ruco. Award show is still a long way to go so hopefully his role will still shine by then!
Plot cliffhanger!! YYYYY u dew dis to meeee
@coralie Becaaaaaauuuuuseeee… raaaatinnnnggggs! 🙂
@sasamii as one of my fav ytubers communitychannel would say, “unbeleebabo.”
Okay, playing devil’s advocate here.
Sure, Ruco has done a fine job with his role. That scene where he was OD-ing on cocaine? Great. But really, has this been the most complicated or nuanced role that he’s played? No, not by a long shot. Personally, the male role that was most interesting for me this year so far, with a good character arc, was Vincent Wong in Over Run Over.
That being said, it does look like TVB is finally ready to promote Ruco (which is deserved, please don’t skewer me, Ruco fans), so I do think this role is going to firmly cement him in the big boys league.
@sasamii
Over Run Over – Omg, couldn’t have agreed more….It was kind of an old series now since it came out early 16’ but I just finished like 2 days ago and I loved it. I hardly watched anything these days cuz most of the productions are so darn bad.
I am never a sci-fi-out of ordinary or ancient drama watcher but this time travel series actually worked really well for me. Hahaa..imagine that you know. Vincent dude – Yeah, never practically like him in anything even thou he’s a good looking dude but this series he really shined.
HE is tackily stylish in there that’s so fitting for this role n that curly hair hahaha…OMG..he looked so funny sometimes. I was gonna comment and added to that Over Run Over page but jaynestars even thou it says click to comment but COMMENTS are NOT POSSIBLE for old threads. :o(
I do like Ruco thou and I haven’t seen this one yet which I should cuz I love fighting kung fu series so will def give it a shot. Ruco is finally getting some love in TVB so I am happy for him as he played such minor roles in ATV it was just sad.
But if Vincent dude wins, I will be happy for him too. It’s nice to see actors who has been in supportings getting recognized after all their hard work.
@sasamii agreed. i don’t think ruco displays as much dimension or subtlety in here as he did in say, Captain of Destiny. his role is pretty much happy-go-lucky and the reckless hero.
but with tvb, you never know when they’ll decide a person is worthy of an acting award. last year, the TV Queen title got bequeathed to nancy for Ghost of Relativity and she didn’t even display half the nuances she did for AFWFW.
i also agree that Vincent is more deserving of that best actor award than Ruco is (for this year.)
still, there’s 4 more months ahead of us. who’s to say they both won’t be outranked by some senior actor, say, Gallen Lo?
@coralie
oh god, anyone but Gallen Lo? Oh god, NO!!!! lol haha
@kiki I’ve never liked Gallen. please don’t promote him.
@janet72
You and me both. Never understand the hype w/that dude either. My mom was watching mostly mainland dramas now and I saw a glimpse of him and he played this sexual harassment kind of boss to his female employees or somethign and he fit the role so well. He was never a great looking guy but he looks haggard and old there. So coming back to TVB and pairing up w/20 something? Awwww…Gosh!
@coralie I think that the more popular you are within TVB, the safer your roles get. I guess they think that the audience likes to root for obvious heroes, with the heart of gold; so many leading roles fall into that category. Nancy falls into that rut; many of her supporting roles were so much juicier and displayed her talent better, and her latest few roles have been so blah (as good as her Diu Lan is even with her tragic backstory, Grace’s sister role is waaaay more interesting and has more depth, I feel). If this holds true though, Ruco’s a shoo-in this year. 🙂
Although, if Gallen’s series gets slated as an anniversary series, he could very well win. 😛
@kiki I would be happy with either a Vincent (long shot) or Ruco win this year. TVB needs more leading men who can act (well, actresses too, but that’s another story). Glad you enjoyed Over Run Over; except for the ending, I thought it was very well done (though not as mainstream appealing as Fist Within Four Walls).
@sasamii
I actually like the ending of ORO? lol haha…I am not the kind who loves the married w/children kind of happy endings so that kind of ending is perfect for me? haha lol…. I don’t like sequels either, totally will ruin a good standalone series but that’s just me thou.
Vincent wining? hahah lol…highly doubtful…TVB? They are weird and not at all fair to anyone. Still remember all those cameo or supporting character that we see in every series and we don’t even know their names? So sad!!!
@kiki Oh, I wasn’t hoping for a perfect happy ending for ORO necessarily, I was actually wanting something a little less happy. I thought the whole necklace/does she remember him thing was silly; my ideal ending would have been Vincent’s character slowly winning Tracy back, even without their shared memories, in this new timeline, showing that they were really fated to be.
But yeah, sad that TVB is hardly fair when it comes to giving out awards. They do have some really excellent actors in the supporting roles.
@sasamii Like many Ruco fans, I hope TVB promotes him to be TV King. That scene with him suffering from cocaine is by far most memorable and Nancy doing her best to save him.
@janet72 @kiki @sasamii @coralie Of course he wants to win the award, since he wants to attain fame, glory, and high social status. That has always been his obsession, from the beginning. I guess no matter how much fame and money he have,he will still want more. A greedy person like him will never be satisfied despite of having everything. These pathetic, money grubbing fame seeker is probably going to spend the rest of his life chasing after fame, fortune and high status life.
@killer
and of course you are the #1 attention seeker after that freedalas was banned. Are you perhaps him btw? Why are you fixated on Ruco who is trying to fame, glory and high social status? He’s trying and working hard to obtain what he wants out of life. It’s not like he’s sitting his azz down doing nothing? It’s much better than those ppl who are golddiggers; male or female who does nothing but just trying to get money of a marriage or relationship? Why didn’t you pick on those people? I am sure we have heard enough on how much you dislike Ruco Chan. You keep on repeating the same thing over and over which is getting a bit annoying to read.
@kiki @happybi I’m sure he is very addicted to the money, fame and attention the entertainment industry brings him. This money grubbing fame seeker is obviously only staying in the show business for the fame,fortune and high social status. There’s no doubt he would have quit acting a long time ago without his achieved stardom.
@kiki This killer person aka unknown aka troll is psychopathic and ought to be banned. Yoohoo, where’s Jayne when you need her?
@isay
I know, he’s prob a revived freedalas on how ugly short and WCL is and will never stop until Jayne banns him/her. lol..But it’s hard since even if you banned them, they will always come back and then registered and start all this craziness again. Sigh…Ignore mode should be on now! 🙂
@kiki @isay we will start thinking about how to implement the ignore user feature. thanks for your patience.
@admin looking forward to you guys figuring out this ignore feature. Have way to many crazy people re-registering after they were ban. Thanks.

@freedalass oh please. If you weren’t ban why do you have to register for a new account with another name? If you want to lie at least be more smart about it. But then what do we expect?
Back to full ignore mode.

@freedalass Hey, you’re still active? I thought you were dead long ago.
@isay the comments about Ruco from this ‘killer’ is really annoying. he/she keeps repeating same thing.
@janet72 If he wants to attack Ruco, he should at least be creative and say something different each time. Real psycho.
@kiki nah this is not freedala.. as that crazy person was a Ruco fan.. this one… I think @isay may be right.. could be unknown.
@happybi
happy, the admiration of Ruco might be fake? I started saying about freedala guy and he immd came back n free Ass account….lol…in any case, both insane I don’t get these people. creating accounts just to repeat the same crapzzz over and over. sigh…..
@kiki Don’t care really as ignore mode is on full blast. Talking about crazy will just make her more mental.
I actually like Gallen. ehehheheh Always have… You need to watch his earlier work.. He is a good actor lor..
I also started watching FWFW last night as wanted to watch it before I get all these spoilers here! ehehehe It’s a good series! Exciting!!! And I gotta say I’m loving Carlo evil character.. he’s sooo good at it but man am I glad his brother is dead! Can’t stand that guy!!
I thin the good pudding man is the evil leader. Not sure if the drugs had been burnt. He could have swapped them!
@jimmyszeto u know, while I was watching that scene when the pudding man gave them the drugs, I asked myself why couldn’t they have swapped flour with the drugs? But if the pudding man got discovered, that wouldn’t bode well for him
@coralie
Will also be difficult to see how he got himself beat up too if he is the leader. I really think there will be some sort of a twist and the pudding man turns out to be the most evil. None of the rest Adan be suspects. The only other is the KK Cheung is the main leader but that wouldn’t be much of a twist. Jimmy Au to me should always be a good guy in every series so I will be gutted if he is the main villain.
@jimmyszeto KK Cheung is supposed to be the good guy now, sorta. So plot twist would be he had no intention of being the good guy all along.
We all know that the ultimate bad guy has to be middle age at least since Ruco’s parents died because of that mastermind. I think it could be Jimmy Au cause he really serves no purpose in this drama but yet he’s still part of the gang.
Yuen Qiu is a possibility too and so is the uncle of Teeth Guy
@coralie @jimmyszeto aaaaah, I didn’t even think about the pudding man as an option for the mastermind. But it kinda, maybe fits (except that he did get beat up…)??
I don’t think the uncle is the ultimate villain, but he is definitely hiding something. Like, he was bribed or blackmailed into harming his brother… which means he’ll die a horrible bloody death right before he can reveal the big bad guy’s name!
@sasamii @coralie
Yeh the pudding man looked genuinely gutted for the children too. I agree the uncle certainly can’t be the main villain. He’s much too weak a personality after shown to be afraid of ghosts and karma.
@jimmyszeto But then who could be the big bad guy? Anyone else we’re not thinking of, who is the right age?
If they suddenly trot out some new character to be the villain in the last three episodes, I’m going to be annoyed.
@jimmyszeto @sasamii @janet72 — you know how sometimes at the end of the episode, there are quizzes that TVB will put out regarding the plot?
there was an image with a few characters on the last episode that let you guess who was the mastermind. i rmb Jimmy Au was on there, so were a bunch of other ppl. even ruco’s mom & handicapped dude that sold his daughter.
@coralie
If you look at the quiz most of the candidates for villain are just stupid and were much too young. Only pudding man and gambler boss could be the big villain but if gambler boss then it wouldn’t be much of a quiz. The uncle has no chance of being the big villain but he’s old enough. I’m shouting out for pudding man to a master fighter and the evil villain! Just like Line Walker hopefully there’s a good twist!
@coralie If plot twist, maybe the auntie who likes to gamble, who raised ruco is the mastermind. She appeared all of sudden when ruco”s dad in trouble. And they way she gamble in a messed up place alone, not scared at all means she is not commoner.
@dramadrama I actually had the same thoughts before I saw the pics of the characters who are suspect to being the mastermind of this whole charade. She’s not listed on there
@coralie Got the list ah. Never knew about it….
@dramadrama the quiz is sometimes played before the opening song or after the ending song. It appeared in ydays episode too and today’s I think.
@dramadrama i find it hard to understand why the 三姨婆 doesn’t seem sad when Ruco told her his sister has died.
That gambler fella is still hanging around the dramas…is he going to become some big villain?
@janet72 That useless gambler father is not someone big lah. He will always be the loser. Thinks he is still there cos tvb wanna do some social education, showing that if too addicted to gambling, will be forever a loser, even after selling his own daughter.
@coralie you know exam questions always have MCQ and answers are so close…but why put in so many masterminds? 拳佬’s mum has died…why is she in the picture?
@janet72 Where to see the picture? I remember the first few episodes, before teeth guy”s dad go to into the fire to saves someone, it sounded like a man”s voice asking for help. Sounds like a man’s acting like a girl voice.
@coralie i like the mother-son relationship of 泰婆/猫仔. although 猫仔 has stony face, he cares for his mother and can always be relied upon to save her.
Now what is 刁兰“s real identity?
@janet72 me too. Love the mom-son arc
@jimmyszeto KK is the one who benefits now that the drug addict and sissy guy are dead.
牙佬’s uncle has always been a pain in the ass from Episode 1. 花曼 probably won’t last long in the drama since she has killed 2…killers don’t usually last. nancy has a heart problem and a killer since young.
@jimmyszeto i’m trying to figure out who the mastermind is. can anyone provide some output? thanks.
@janet72 @coralie @sasamii
If there is a twist then it’s definitely pudding man. I going for that! If no twist then it’s just KK Cheung being extra evil and the one behind it but that would be boring. It’s all written for Jimmy Au to be the main villain. He took the drugs. TVB didnt have to write a scene like that plus he’s good at action and he hasn’t had a single fighting scene yet. The only thing is Jimmy hasn’t had a big role in recent years. Hopefully there is a big villain role for him here. Hopefully not a role such a getting killed saving Ruco or something.
@jimmyszeto @coralie Yeah, the TVB ‘quiz’ had a few options that definitely couldn’t work due to the ages of the characters. What a twist it would be though if it was indeed the deadbeat daughter-selling gambling man!! 😛
Okay, you’ve convinced me, I’ll hop on the pudding man train! It does seem suspicious that his business has been able to move in and out of the walled city all these years, and he does have access/motive.
@jimmyszeto there are still some mysteries. KK Cheung has 金盆洗手…but he is still one of the killers of 牙佬/拳佬’s fathers. Pudding boss has been playing the victim. Didn’t know this drama is 30 episode…so there are likely to be unexpected twists.
@janet72 it’s 28 ep only
@jimmyszeto Actually I don’t see the twist if it’s pudding man. Cos he seems the most obvious one around the good guys. Hmmmm….
@janet72 there’s already spoilers circulating. For me i dont want to know so I’m annoyed by the big reveal! Accidentally saw it gahhhhhhh!!!!!!
@jimmyszeto why did he sell the pudding to Moon’s character earlier? it makes no sense to do that. what good does it serve? Moon’s character is not buying drugs from him.
@janet72
It could have been an accident that the puddings got contaminated but to hide his real character, he had to pretend to regret causing children harm. It’s just an analysis. He did encourage Ruco and Ben to become walled city heroes so in that aspect he does look like a good guy. I don’t understand why someone good would try save a group of workers when harming thousands by helping delivering drugs.
@janet72
We must not forget that the person who trained Nancy into a assassin could be the villain behind the whole story. Every episode is making the pudding man into more of a good guy but I am very suspicious. KK Cheung is definitely a big villain with his plan to try and win without fighting but there is a bigger one for sure. I don’t think Grace will last the whole series. The way TVB stories go, she won’t succeed in achieving revenge and be killed off by someone formidable.
@jimmyszeto I’m kinda positive now that pudding man is the villain. He made an appearance in tonight’s episode that made him seem even nicer than usual. It’s in his character of course, but still suddenly he’s so buddy-buddy with the good guys.
Btw, as much as I am pleased with Fung Chun Mei’s death…I felt his death was so rushed. They could’ve prolonged his torture and finally death… which would make it even more satisfying. The money burn thing was vindictive for Grace but dang, that money could’ve been put to good use. His death seemed so shortlived…I think he deserved a longer one.
@coralie Actually, the sissy is bad as, but in this case, he just wanna get paid with the debt in other way. I felt tvb had gone overboard with the plot again. If you choose to gamble, regardless where the money comes from, you lose, owes money to gamble, by right the gambler should return right??? I don’t understand why teeth guy and ruco wanna help them pay back. Ridiculous. This 2 recent episodes makes me feel the sissy a good guy, teeth guy and ruco the busy body one.
@dramadrama @coralie
These few episodes are the must be the worst written episodes of all time. If police aren’t involved why are they bothered by a piece of signed paper. Carlo could have just killed any citizen. Didn’t need them to be in debt. Same as Ruco and Ben club could have attacked Carlo gang with no excuse. No need for debt or gambling. Gambling match was added for the sake of it.Who do the TVB writers think they are? Stephen Chow in the 1990s or ATV who is the winner?
I think Carlo character was done well but having him constantly in a few episodes just made his character less intense and the poorly added scenes didn’t help. Grace didn’t bother to help her brother or dentist lover when she got discovered either. Just ran away from casino and let them die. A Shambles of a script
@coralie 花曼 could have taken the money and given to the poor instead. do you realize 春美 & 夏满 were killed off very fast? they didn’t suffer a slow death but chop chop.
@coralie
Yeh I’m very confident that the man that brutally destroyed Bens older character is Pudding Man. Tried to slow mo to see if Jimmy Au was the man dressed in black. Not certain but I think it’s likely. I have analysed this from experience of watching TVB series. Spoilers suggest only Nancy will die. I thought grace and Nancy would die based on the storyline. I don’t think in the history of TVB, a heart disease sufferer has survived a series. Nearly always die in final episode or final scene.
@dramadrama @janet72 @coralie
Here we go! Prediction fully correct. Not rocket science was it?
LOL….as soon as I read the opening paragraph, I automatically knew this article was from TVB-leaning Oriental Daily (on.cc’s TVB slant has been getting more and more obvious over the years with the language they use). Leave it up to the HK media to get more and more ridiculous with its reporting…..
Anyway…as far as the TV King award goes – well, it’s pretty much anyone’s call at this point, since there are still 4 months to go and a bunch of series that haven’t aired yet. If there is no obvious ‘shoo-in’ winner (like last year, where it was pretty much a given that Anthony Wong would get the award), then it depends on whether TVB decides to ‘play it safe’ by giving it to an actor who is generally solid in terms of acting and whom audiences generally like even though this year’s series may not have been their best performance, or they decide to go the ‘controversial’ route and pull an upset by giving it to someone totally undeserving. With some of the ‘gimmicky’ things that Sandy Yu (who oversees the variety department that produces the Anniversary Awards show) has pulled lately, I totally wouldn’t put it past her to go the controversial route. I guess we will find out in 4 months’ time…
I hope Ruco gets TV king award this year. In this series, his acting is the best, out of his Co leads. But of course, can’t compare to veterans like the drug leader who died, and the sissy bad guy. I think most actors and actresses really did well in this series.
@dramadrama i think Bobby deserve the best actor award this year
@ivan Bobby sure can act. Loved his acting too. But just that the ghost series he acted in seems to be like is usual role. Nothing to be wow about, because he already portray a certain standard. To me, his best role is still the time traveling one, where he gets to act as a bad ass too.
So, I still think Ruco has high chance of getting TV King. I am just afraid they wanted to keep Kevin Cheng, and resort to their old style again…..
@dramadrama but kevin cheng didn’t act in any drama so far.
@janet72 the vampire didn’t count?
@dramadrama I forgot about that drama. obviously because of turbo tongue.
@dramadrama I agree about Bobby’s role in the ghost series. I like his acting, but it wasn’t a challenging or different role at all. I also liked his character from that time travel series! It’s the one where he was paired with Esther Kwan, right?
I hope TVB doesn’t give Kevin the award. If they do, it will be such obvious favoritism… the series itself aired really early in the year, it didn’t receive nearly as much positive hype, and his role didn’t particularly get much attention.
@sasamii Yup! The one with Esther Kwan. It’s a really nice series too. Wonder when tvb will do anything like that again. With Ruco as lead. Wow!!!
@sasamii if kevin cheng wants to leave, let him. his acting is not exceptional.
@dramadrama sissy bad guy and his brother are good! in fact, several characters are memorable. I think many of us want to beat up the gambler father who sold his daughter.
@janet72 The supporting cast is great! Everyone seemed to put in their best. At first i thought the 4 golden flowers would be a noisy annoying bunch. But except for Carat they all surpassed my expectation especially in last nite’s ep.
@isay the 4 flowers are a noisy lot…but when they hesitated poisoning the food, I was quite touched as they recalled how well 牙佬/拳佬 had treated them.
@janet72 My mum scolded the sissy’s brother so much. Haha. From his face till his teeth. Luckily he died early. My mum gonna have high blood pressure from it…..haha
@dramadrama but the sissy’s brother made more impact than the sissy himself. sissy is scheming and evil…matches his face.
Haha anyone who uses YouTube a lot and watch a lot asian YT clips will prolly know this person called Viet Lee. He always post the most random things about potatoes in all of his comments to other YTubers. But at least his comments are sometimes silly, sometimes original, sometimes annoying and sometimes funny. At least theres some creativity there. Anon, if you’re gonna keep spamming in here, at least be creative.
