(But I think to look on the bright side - if that's possible, at least it's not like some of the cast in O.L. Supreme. I only want to trade some people from the other for this one and vice versa, LOL!)DTLCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412002838777406732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-17144201103587778422010-08-22T23:01:02.338-07:002010-08-22T23:01:02.338-07:00Haha...regarding that 'watching and casting as...Haha...regarding that 'watching and casting aside' thing, I've pretty much been doing that with most of the TVB series I've been watching the past 2-3 months...to be honest, that's why I haven't posted too many more series reviews -- because I haven't really watched a TVB series in its entirety in quite some time...either it comes on TV and I miss alot of the episodes but don't bother re-watching because it's not worth my time, or I watch a few episodes of the series and it gets so boring that i don't bother finishing...<br /><br />I have a feeling that if I ever get around to watching "Some Day" (which won't be for a VERY long time), I probably will cast it aside as well because honestly, it really doesn't sound too interesting to me except for the particular actors that I like (whom I already mentioned in my post above).llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-9378703090913545052010-08-22T08:03:49.681-07:002010-08-22T08:03:49.681-07:00Just looked at the chart again AND I am even more ...Just looked at the chart again AND I am even more pissed off now. Definitely shouldn't have stated the 'original cast' thing since it seems that half of them are gone. But I guess I could always resort to the technique of watching and then casting it aside for a bit and then watch again. I did that with Off Pedder for a while (though I didn't remember why - possibly I was too busy OR annoy with that dude Ryan).DTLCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412002838777406732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-79079709939303113582010-08-21T00:30:43.673-07:002010-08-21T00:30:43.673-07:00Well, one thing I don't understand is why TVB ...Well, one thing I don't understand is why TVB keeps calling it "original cast" because it's basically not -- I mean, isn't it obvious that Louise, Crystal, Johnson, and Wong He weren't even in "Off Pedder"?? And neither were some of the minor characters listed for that matter...<br /><br />I think that once again, TVB is trying too hard -- they're trying to play off the hype from OP so they're selling it as "same cast" but it's really not -- they should just say that it's a completely new sitcom and move on!<br /><br />Regarding Wong He's role in the series -- get ready because I don't think you'll like this -- I think he's eventually going to be paired with Aimee Chan because the summary says that she will become his "closest confidante" and they will develop an "interesting friendship". The thing is though, I thought he was going to be paired with Crystal? But I guess that's changed too because the description of her character and the relationships is totally different from what was originally "promoted"....<br /><br />I will probably end up watching this series anyway because of Wayne and Teresa (plus I'm ok with Louise, Johnson, Crystal, and Wong He as well, since they're all pretty good actors/actresses). I still don't like what they did to Wong He though....llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-72385335390019101082010-08-20T01:17:17.738-07:002010-08-20T01:17:17.738-07:00We were talking about this like yesterday or somet...We were talking about this like yesterday or something? BUT yup, thanks again for another post! Don't want to repeat it too much, but it's TVB for you. <br /><br />Oh yeah, I went around to search for Some Day info since I wasn't really looking closely earlier. They replaced Florence with Crystal? (Well, sorry I like Crystal more so something to look forward to. Maybe 'cause I'm such an ATV freak, lol.) And why is Suet Nei in there? She's my least favorite among the veteran ones since she 'tries too hard to shine yet fails to impress'. I thought they're doing it with the original cast? What happened to some others? (I know they can't do anything about CHL BUT the others? OKAY...) Stephen got cast aside again? AND then they have to use Wong Hei for the hype. He's in the relationship and that's it, right? (I saw the chart on the website.) I hope Johnson gets a worthwhile role.DTLCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412002838777406732noreply@blogger.com
