I like it because it was subtle. IF it was overly emotional, it would be too fake (for me). Like it was more about the nature of the hug than the whatever else that was involved. I guess I have this weird interpretation with their relationship - whether friendship/ lovers. NOT too flashy like how it was with him and Sharon at the beginning. If it's flashy, it's like too good to be true, etc. *shrugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-16798838847914758222010-10-28T21:32:32.614-07:002010-10-28T21:32:32.614-07:00Regarding Sharon, I agree that the beginning was o...Regarding Sharon, I agree that the beginning was okay, but the intensity later on and then leading to the wedding scene was LAME times 12 (or more). I know the character has to have some background at first so it's okay that he and Sharon date and then break up, BUT stir more things up? Definitely whatever. <br /><br />The funniest thing out of the whole LLL chasing Wayne scene was they got their picture on the newspaper, LOL. 'Cause LLL passed out due to short of breath, etc. Hahahaha. LLL was so embarrassed that he refuse to be seen near Wayne again. Then of course Nnadia and the others have to jump in to stop them once again. Told you I could go on forever, especially those hilarious scenes of Wayne.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-32529308173888864072010-10-28T19:53:58.719-07:002010-10-28T19:53:58.719-07:00Haha...I actually liked the Wayne / Nnadia scenes ...Haha...I actually liked the Wayne / Nnadia scenes as well -- though not as hilarious as the Wayne / Halina scenes, but still...the scene you mentioned was especially funny. As I mentioned during our discussion on messenger, I kept cracking up when Law Lok Lam kept alluding to the TVB series 狂潮 and insisted that Wayne was Siu Wah San (Chow Yun Fat's character in that series)....it was a convenient 'plug' for the 1976 classic series, but yet, it was done in a way that wasn't cheesy (and was hilarious)...<br /><br />Omg, now that you mention the wedding scene - I was totally like HUH???? That was sooo lame! I mean, I can understand the existence of Sharon's character in the beginning of the series but after she and Kevin broke up, what's the point of having her continue to reappear? Lame!<br /><br />Oooh, thanks for reminding me about that Kevin / Nnadia scene -- I definitely agree about that scene being the best one out of the Kevin/Nnadia ones....though I'm still of the opinion that the scene would have been more emotional if someone else were in that role....llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-20157300066708548882010-10-28T00:43:32.574-07:002010-10-28T00:43:32.574-07:00Oh yeah, I watched this like once already and then...Oh yeah, I watched this like once already and then jump around to watch Wayne and Nnadia scenes later. Don't ask, 'cause they're supposed to be attached to someone else in this one. BUT watching them is too funny, especially the scene I mentioned to you on MSN with her father chasing him down because he had misunderstood them. And also the parts where she injured her ear and Kevin didn't know, but Wayne figured it out. Then there was also the scenes with him and Law Lok Lam and the old man being so paranoid, etc. It made everything more hilarious. <br /><br />Oh yeah, I love the Wayne and Halina pairing too BUT won't elaborate as much since I remember us talking about it in the past already and it would take me forever as well. <br /><br />Lastly, I found the triangle with Nnadia-Kevin-Sharon pointless too. It was like what the world? Since Sharon seemed like she was going nuts BUT then nothing happened at the wedding scene? Strange to death. Someone must have been hit in the head with that part. <br /><br />One of my favorite scenes of Kevin and Nnadia must be the part where he was looking for her, calling out to her but she didn't hear him ('cause of her ear injury) and she didn't even hear the other things around her either. Kevin followed her and ended up hugging her to shield her from the sound that was whirring in her ear? That was probably the only part I felt their chemistry the most. Aside from that, the other reason why I even like their pairing is because they're around the same age versus him having to pairing with younger ones? *shrugs* But shouldn't rant about Kevin in your post. <br /><br />Wayne WAS awesome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
