Review:
A fast paced drama with rather thick plot.. the story is rather captivating although it has some not-so-good scenes too.. it protrays the darker side of human.. greed, betrayal, lies, backstabbing.. somewhat find it hard to believe that a person can turn to the dark side within such a short period of time and can be so coldblooded.. nothing much to complain about the plot.. except the rather abrupt change of the male lead without much explanation & not forgetting the ending.. it is realli heartbreaking to see the 2 persons who are so in love with each other could be be together in the end due to external circumstances n Rachel (Jo Koo) 伊人独憔悴 *sad*
For the acting, Patrick did a convincing job.. now i understood why he is so famous in the 60s & 70s. n he sure knows how to keep fit.. i can still see his muscles (even though he is almost 70 yrs old!!) when he wore fitting clothes in some of the scenes!! *wow*
with regard to michelle, i will not say that her acting is fantastic.. i feel that she has the same expression (cold looks and smiles) most of the time.. perhaps she is the way she is to protray the career-oriented Season, but i feel that there is more sides of Season than that.. nevertheless she looks gorgeous in this show, most of the clothes she wears simply bring out her elegance and style.. how i wish i hav such good fashion taste.. hee..
coming to raymond.. hmm, one shuai ge.. lol.. i can say that he did a good job.. there were times i jus wish he is dead, but towards the end, i actually pity him.. personally i think he ought to brush up on his emotions scenes, somehow there are times i couldnt feel his anguish/ 'cunningness'.. n also he ought to be given more screen time to show his softer side which i believe he has.. cant believe anyone can be so... lack of humanity.. it shudders me to imagine a person completely turning into another man jus out of the blue.. 难道人真的这么善变？there must have some reasons behind..
another thing to add, there is quite a few pretty actresses in this serial.. besides michelle, pinky, jo koo & winnie leung also have good looks.. personally think jo koo is prettier than michelle.. her features are more delicate.. make me so envious =P
