Their blossoming relationship is thrown into turmoil as they get closer to the truth.
Comments: No fan of Flora and without a doubt she is the least versatile out of TVB's top four fa dans. I've realized I can like Joe and enjoy his performance, but only with a good character (Topman in Born Rich). Sharon does not look the part of an inspector at all so I'm doubtful. At the moment the only thing that interests me right now about the series is seeing Him Law and Mandy Wong. Two of my new favs! :)
I'm a fan of Flora, but the previews for this series don't look very appealing for some reason. Why do I feel like everytime an actor makes a comeback at TVB they always get mediocre roles/dramas?
ReplyDeleteAnnie - You're not the only one who feels that way. Comebacks are very weak these days. It's either a bad role, or a bad script. That's where the inspiration for my Comeback feature originated from, haha. Take Maggie Cheung's comeback for example. Versatile actress, but the series My Better Half was only mediocre and the role wasn't anything too special.
