Threesome (2018)

Funny, interesting and stunning character-portrayal!

Very beautiful story! The romance was definitely a slow-burner but strangely it didn't bother me at all. And although I get bored easily with something like law themed dramas, it was totally interesting! I don't know if it was all really realistic since I'm not a major in neither law nor psychology, but they explained it so well that is was at least easy to understand! :)

I really loved the character portrayal here! Evie and her identity disorder seemed realistic since she didn't just simply had DID - her attitude towards it was really relatable. At the beginning she was like "Why me? Why do I need to have this illness?" - upset and frustrated. That was so damn relatable. She was not the typical naive girl, but a very kind but strong woman. Maybe a little sassy but in a mature way. On the inside she was really vulnerable of course and the explanation for her multiple identities was soo good. :)

The romance was mature too. Not in a sexual way, but I mean they weren't desperate. ML wasn't obsessed like "I have to make her fall for me". Not at all. He respected her and her life and even her DID, and was simply there for her. He was goofy and totally funny to watch, but at the same time totally kind and warm. Benjamin Yuen was perfect for this role. :3

The actors did a very good job! Also FL for portraying 3 personalities - they were really all so different! Good job! Even with quick personality changes you could easily tell them apart by the way of talking and body language.

The closest drama to this one would be "Kill me Heal me" but with roles reversed and in "Threesome" the characters were -despite all- more mature.

I loved how well they explained the psychological therapies and also the law-things xD I could follow easily and so it was even interesting and understandable for me. I had much fun watching this! It was hilarious, emotional and addicting!

We got a very beautiful and satisfying ending. The FL came a long way and had a very good character developement. :) Much love from me!! <3

This is my review for the TVB Drama "Threesome".
This drama uses a relaxing way of telling the story of a lawyer with Dissociative Personality Disorder.
Evie Fong has two other people living inside her, one called 'Pina Colada" who is crazy, and one called "Sau Mak Mak" which is always sad and crying.
Lee Dong Kai is graduate of law struggling to find a mentor, he learns about Evie's secret, Evie doesn't have a choice but has to be Kai's mentor.
Theo Kei asks Evie to marry him, but Evie doesn't want Theo to know about her disorder.
This is how the relationship between Evie and Kai starts.....
Other dramas talking about Dissociative Personality Disorder uses a very harsh way of telling the stories like (the other personalities killing other people etc...) but this drama uses a very light hearted way of telling the whole story, so it makes this drama a very easy and refreshing watch. The story is a very big part of a drama, this aspect of Threesome does not disappoint at all, this drama talks about a lot of things like Psychology, Legal, Family and Love, it mixes in very well and it makes the whole drama very smooth.
Even if the cast of Threesome is not big heavy stars, it stars Mandy Wong, Ben Yuen and Jason Chan as the three main leads, along with Snow Suen, Gigi Wong and Arnold Kwok.
Mandy Wong's acting does not disappoint as "Evie" in this drama she practically became Evie, she also does not disappoint as "Sau Mak Mak" representing the cute side of her, well her acting as 'Pina Colada" is fine but a bit fake, but in a comedy you won't expect something very realistic or else it isn't funny.
Ben Yuen's acting has improved a lot, he is not as wooden as before, he is also became "Kai" in this drama, always helping Evie, in every scene he was in character, and it really deserves a praise.
Jason Chan as a scaredy cat.....Hmmmmmmm....At least his acting has improved, especially in one particular scene :)
Snow Suen as a very funny psychologist. I guess she is fine, but some times i find her saying her lines without any emotion, but overall she is fine.
Gigi Wong as Evie's very mean spirited mother, she was awesome!!! Every time i saw her on screen i wanted to hit her on the face, that represents a very good portrayal of a very mean character!
I think this is Arnold Kwok first drama to be filmed, he was a bit wooden and only used one emotion through the whole drama, but he is still new and has a lot of time to improve!
Two supporting characters i have to mention is Lee Dong Ling played by Kirby Lam and Bo Win played by Lam King Ching, they always snatch the audiences attention in every scene and both of them are very funny and their chemistry is nuts!!!!
There is only one song sung by Miriam Yeung called One of a kind, it is a very good written song, the lyrics really represents how Evie is feeling inside, and Miriam Yeung also sang it with emotion.
Overall, I very good drama that is a awesome watch, and even deserves a rewatch because some parts are better if you watch it in detail.
