I usually watch on TV, VCD, DVD, or videotape. Which country / region do you live in? If you're in HK, you can watch via TVB's website. For Mainland China, if Tudou doesn't have it, then try Youku, as they usually have a lot of TVB series (except usually dubbed in Mandarin, though sometimes they have the original Cantonese version as well).<br /><br />When I have some time later, I'll try searching as well and if I find it, I'll definitely let you know. llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-74566866347410367822014-12-20T07:11:54.729-08:002014-12-20T07:11:54.729-08:00Dear admin,

She didn't do a whole lot of series either (I think she only did 4 series while at TVB and a handful at ATV). I honestly can't comment on her acting because I've only seen her in the 4 series she did at TVB and she didn't necessarily have big parts in those series. <br /><br />To be honest, I think you may have the wrong series (the one you mention with Shek Sau) because I don't recall that series whatsoever (unless it was an ATV series or a movie, since she was in both and I didn't watch any of her ATV series or movies).<br /><br />Anyway, with regard to Deric Wan -- he has been married several times (last count was 3 times, I believe), but all of those marriages ended up in divorce. He has dated since then (his last most 'famous' relationship was with actress and former Miss HK Sonjia Kwok), but that didn't turn out to well. Deric has pretty much moved his career to Mainland China now and I believe he does have a steady girlfriend currently, but I don't remember her name (I don't think she's in the industry).llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-5562430330457016592011-05-12T05:28:08.813-07:002011-05-12T05:28:08.813-07:00@llwy12: Thanks for comments. Regarding City Japes...@llwy12: Thanks for comments. Regarding City Japes, I have sort of watched bits and then stopped as there are too many series to watch and since I work during the day, I don't have time to watch them all. Now it was interesting you mentioned the girl Ho Mei Ting who played Deric Wan's girlfriend in the series. Is she the one who was his cousin and had a crush on him and then LATER became his girlfriend? Or is the girl who was his girlfriend in the series but she left him as she was going back to the States? Is Deric Wan married now by the way? If this Ho Mei Ting is the girl who played his cousin and then became his girlfriend in the series, I really like her. I have only seen her in another series but it was a police thing with Sek Sau. It was made around the 1980s and I don't know the name of it but its something like this.<br /><br />Starring Sek Sau with Chan Sau Chu and two others, the four of them worked as a team in a police station with Sek Sau as their leader and it was about different crimes that they solved. They were sort of International Police or something. Anyway, this Ho Mei Ting was in one of the stories and she played the part of a young girl who was about to be sold to slavery in the Middle East. Kenneth Tsang Kong was the villain there. Its definitely one of the must-see old dramas.Peachesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-16477552408316895392011-05-03T23:59:42.084-07:002011-05-03T23:59:42.084-07:00@Peaches: Haha...interesting that you have the sa...@Peaches: Haha...interesting that you have the same tastes that I do in actors/actresses and TV series!<br /><br />I love Roger...he's always been one of my favorite actors. And he is definitely one of the actors whom I've been following since the 80s. His 2 villain rols in Instinct and LOS were quite good definitely, but his Ah Wang was alot more convincing. I'm so glad he won Best Actor those 2 years -- he totally deserved it (and it was LONG overdue). I actually cried when I watched the 2003 ceremony and they announced he had won -- it was a heartfelt moment for me.<br /><br />OMG, City Japes is one of my all time favorite sitcoms! It is definitely VERY long -- I have the entire series on video tape and it took up 40 tapes! But it is an AWESOME sitcom -- definitely a classic! I've watched it so many times already that I already have it memorized pretty much (it's true...I can actually recite some of the dialogue still...lol!)<br /><br />Btw, that series was the very first one that both Roger Kwok and Gallen Lo participated in. They were both under the same manager at the time and so they were very close -- like brothers (that's why you'll notice that they were in alot of series together back in the 80s and 90s).<br /><br />And yes, that was the first series that I saw Deric Wan in and already knew he was a great actor back then. Too bad his relationship with Ho Mei Ting (the actress who plays his girlfriend in the series) didn't last -- they were actually dating in real life back then.llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-64870766376434872412011-05-03T07:31:34.879-07:002011-05-03T07:31:34.879-07:00I'd like to talk about Roger Kwok Chun On. He ...I'd like to talk about Roger Kwok Chun On. He is one of my favourites also. I really liked him playing the villain in "Instinct" and "Last One Standing" but on the other hand I liked him in the two dramas where he won best actor. He played "Ah Wang" and was slightly handicapped or something. He was also in "City Japes" - Cantonese transation is "Sing See Goo See" and Deric Wan was in it also and played a young man living with his parents, brother and sister in the same block of flats as Roger. I'm watching it now - its rather light hearted and fun. I suppose it is one of those very long series like "The Seasons".Peachesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-31712606813380080682010-05-13T19:56:58.370-07:002010-05-13T19:56:58.370-07:00LOL! Thanks for the comments -- I'm sure the ...LOL! Thanks for the comments -- I'm sure the rest will come back later...hehe.<br />-<br />Well, maybe "hate" isn't exactly the right word, but I used it basically to show the opposite extremes of the character. The reason why I "hated" (more like "despised") him in part 1 is because he was so selfish and acted so much like a jerk that his father got to the point where he wanted to disown him...and also how he sacrificed his family and his girlfriends (both Kenix and Flora) in order to fulfill his objectives. In addition, I don't like how he sort of "pushed" Sunny to be evil because he kept pressuring Sunny to do stuff that he (Sunny) didn't want to do because he knew it wasn't right.<br />-<br />Regarding the scene -- I think that was near the beginning, correct? (Can't really remember all the details because the series was soooo long...lol). Yea, he actually was sort of a good son in the beginning, but he let his ambition and selfishness get in the way.<br />-<br />Though I liked the series overall, there were still some "formulaic" things in there that I thought was a bit cheesy (in addition to the "dragginess" that I mentioned in the review)....for example, the revelation that Shum Wing Yan and Kao Mei Na are actually long lost twin sisters -- even though I had not seen part 2, when I found out that Kenix would be in part 2 (though her character already died in part 1), I already predicted that they would probably be sisters (because that's the way TVB likes to do it) -- and it turns out I was right...llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765116522593136045.post-12272999659445595082010-05-13T01:51:01.036-07:002010-05-13T01:51:01.036-07:00Long read and I think I lost some things I wanted ...Long read and I think I lost some things I wanted to say, lol. But might get it back later. But I didn't know that you hated Gallen in part 1 since I sort of feel like he would turn better later (TYPICAL TVB FORMULA) so can't miss it, lol. But one of the most memorable scene with Gallen that I could remember (since I watched this ages ago when it first came out) was when Gallen's father was wheeled into the operating room and how Gallen said that he would quit drinking black coffee if the surgery was successful. I sort of remember that since it showed that Gallen was a good son? *shrugs*DTLCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412002838777406732noreply@blogger.com
