I remember ATV did quite well with theri Sci-Fi series due to have Chan13 as their scriptwriter. The production team sounds very promising with the A Step into The Past director and Ghetto Justice scriptwriter! I hope CTI will film another SciFi "x-men" like series with the young singers such as Endy etc Actually I've always wanted HK to create drama versions of Japanese Anime like Taiwan but they never do it. Whenever I watched XXXHolic about spirts and supernatural, I can't help but feel Khalil would fit the main character perfectly.sport3888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-9136831185644594462012-09-26T15:25:41.168-07:002012-09-26T15:25:41.168-07:00@kk: You're very welcome! With CTI still being...@kk: You're very welcome! With CTI still being so new and not having their license yet, I'm not surprised that people don't pay much attention to them....lucky for us there's Weibo, so it helps us to at least keep up with it (well, it helps me at least...LOL).<br /><br />Yup, the series definitely does sound interesting based on the plot summary -- I'm actually glad because this is one of the series that I've been looking forward to since the beginning (haha, can't help it...it's Felix we're talking about!) and even though I would probably watch it anyway just because I miss Felix, I was hoping that the plot would at least be decent so I don't have to regret my choice...haha!<br /><br />I actually don't watch American TV series / movies anymore, so can't really comment on whether it's similar to those 2 series or not....but the part about each of the main characters having a 'special power' type thing does sort of remind me of the movie X-Men....only difference is that this is a detective series and not a superhero-type series....Sam Lee is a good actor as well and it will be interesting to see his collaboration with Felix. Honestly though, I was surprised to see him at CTI because he had been filming series for TVB the last 2 years (Ghetto Justice 1 and 2). I read today that his per series contract with TVB just expired a few days ago, so now he's officially a free artist...so it makes more sense now why he's at CTI.<br /><br />Like you, I'm also hoping that this series will turn out well...in fact, I'm hoping that all 3 new stations (mostly CTI and nowTV for me though) will succeed in their free-tv thing because the HK television industry really does need the competition in order to remain healthy....so hopefully this will trigger a 'revival' and we can get back to the days when the industry was actually flourishing (i.e. the 80s/90s).<br /><br />LOL...I actually have no clue who Danson Tang is (the first time I heard of him was that CTI series), so I can't comment on that piece. I stopped following Taiwan entertainment years ago, so I pretty much don't know any of the 'newbies' (aka current generation) Taiwanese artists....the artists I know are mostly the older ones, like ones from the 90s and very early 2000s (I think the most recent 'generation' that I'm still familiar with include the likes of Ruby Lin, Alec Su, Nicky Wu, etc., plus a few others because of their 'connection' to HK entertainment -- such as Bowie Tsang for instance). I'm actually not planning on watching that series anyway because I absolutely hate idol dramas (huge waste of time) -- plus out of all 7 series so far, I'm least familiar with the cast for that series.<br /><br />As for Noelle Leung -- well, I think she's a nice person and all, but I'm not sure how I feel about her as an actress. I mean, her acting isn't bad, but her problem is that she's very inconsistent -- her acting can be extremely good in one series and then suck big time in the next....drives me crazy! Maybe it IS because, like you said, her acting is very one-dimensional so she is only capable of playing the same types of roles over and over again -- and I definitely agree that her ancient series roles are way better than her modern series ones (though to be honest, I can't really recall too many modern series that she was in....I can only think of 2 off the top of my head...). I feel that her best work to date is as Ching Ching in "Against the Blade of Honour" with Louis Koo, though she was also good in "Once Upon a Time in Shanghai" (the 1996 pseudo-remake of The Bund with Sunny Chan and Gordon Lam). We'll see how she does in the CTI horror series....maybe what she needed was a 'challenging' role like that one to really bring out her acting?llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-86158246797192259022012-09-26T10:09:36.868-07:002012-09-26T10:09:36.868-07:00thanks for keeping us update on CTI series LL, you...thanks for keeping us update on CTI series LL, your blog is probably the only one that's doing that :)<br />but wow, this is nice, i always like supernatural theme detective series. however after reading the plot summary, the series kinda remind me of X-files or Fringe. anyway beside Felix, i also like Sam Lee, remember him from movies lol. anyway, crossing my fingers hoping that this series will succeed lol, for the sake of Felix and for the sake of a future healthy competition in HK television industry lol.<br /><br />but i still can't believe and pretty much will complaint all the way til that "idol" HK drama starting that Taiwanese actor Danson Tang air LOL, i mean what were Ricky Wong thinking, of all the handsome and better actors in China and Taiwan and he chose to collaborate w/ the feminine and not so good of an actor Danson lol..gosh, saking my head lol....and uhhhh, no offense to Danson's fans lol<br />i'm also not sure about Noel Leung LL, there was a reason why she was in so much ancient drama at that time instead of modern drama, it like she could only "shine" in ancient costumes lol, though i adored Noel Leung very much, i still think that she could only played one type of character, the weak and typical traditional chinese woman...sigh...well, let wait and see if she can act as multiple personality person in cti series. kknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-220767197865969782012-09-26T00:54:32.438-07:002012-09-26T00:54:32.438-07:00@huama: Me too!

I would have still watched the series because of him anyway (love Felix!), but it's good to see now after reading the plot summary that the storyline itself actually sounds quite interesting too.
