Umm. Short and to the point, please don't watch it. I mean, I'm all in for a daily drama that you use to get in a few short laughs here and there before you go to sleep, but this series just puts in mind into a whole 'nother state. And that state I don't want to be in. Ever.
So. Congratulations are in order for Sammul Chan on his first male lead character in a TVB production, but too bad it has to be this one as the "so-called start" of this spotlight career. I like Sammul and the babyface sure does help too, but man, the dude has to learn to read the script before he takes the offer. Jumping too ahead of oneself may just cause one to fall into a ditch.
Alright, so the story (which I fast-forward from the very beginning of the episode) is basically: Chow Man Bun (Sammul Chan) is a very poor scholar and was attracted to Wong Lo Fu's sister (Nancy Wu). He also runs into a LOT of trouple with Wong Lo Fu (Chin Ka Lok) as he is the bully of the town. Since Chow Man Bun has feminine characteristics, he dressed as a girl in order to not get caught by Wong Lo Fu, but incidentally made Wong Lo Fu fall in love with him at first sight. The story progresses from there. I've also looked at some sites, and they have said that this story originated from either a true story (with of course some twists here and there) or from folk tale.
There is way too many perverted comedy in here, and even more bathroom scenes that I would prefer not be included. I really like both the male leads (well, more favor towards Chin Ka Lok, but seriously, this is NOT a series to watch). How can I persuade you even more? How about me telling you that I RARELY drop TVB series (for god sakes, I still keep up with the series "Best Selling Secrets" which later progressed into "Off Pedder" which is STILL going on!) and I HAVE to drop this series. If I'm not exactly into a series, I just turn it on as background noise, and this one can't even serve as that.
Even through all my ranting, if you would still like to watch this series, please continue to do so. I will also continue to post several screen captures also.
Oh. I almost forgot. If any of you guys have ever watched Twin of Brothers (Raymond Lam and Ron Ng), then you must've remembered Nancy Wu's remarkable portrayal of her character. Ok. Now erase that and pretend she went back to being an amateur. Overacting and awkward.
