I've Got the Power (2022)

Starts great end really dumb

What is TVB's problem with Ruco Chan? This guy keeps dying at the end of his recent dramas and never gets to have his own happy ending. Yes that's right, he dies at the end and that really annoyed me. What annoys me more is the use of the old reversing time to prevent stuff happening thing as well. We watch the entire drama and how these characters have grown together, only for the ending to rewind back to the beginning to unset it all, basically meaning everything we as viewers have witnessed was a waste of time. It is almost as bad as the "oh it was all a dream" trope. This drama started out pretty good, with the people getting used to their powers and we see great character development, but there is no real scary bad guy for them to fight with their super powers, just some triad dude trying to avenge his son. If you have super powered heroes, have super powered bad guys to even the playing field, come on! To counter the lack of super powered bad guys, they introduced side effects to using the powers, which is good and all but not all users get side effects, which is a little unfair. At least two great things did come out from this: Natalie Tong doesn't play a stupidly annoying character like she usually does, she was very likeable here, and the music is great, but hot damn I do not want to rewatch this purely for the ending. So much potential wasted

I pretty much cried every episode, but I loved it

I came in thinking this drama was going to be dumb and funny, and decided to check it out, just to stay till the end!

The poster is NOTHING related to the drama, lol. The story revolves around these ordinary citizens who gained powers after being in the same bus accident together at some conspicuous time of June 6 6:06:06, or something.

There's some side arcs thrown throughout, with my favorite being with Wai and his mom. Amazing acting by Wai, I literally felt the emotions, and his crippledness has my heart. The arc with the father in need of a new liver, and his little kid son, is a very close second. But in general, there is a main arc revolved around this Tony Stark looking gangster villan, and his up-to-no-good son.

There's some unnecessary filler thrown in, but nothing crazy bad. The story does become more frustrating especially towards the end, that I do wish there was a better climax. A lot of main cast members start dropping like flies, that I don't even have tears left for them!

The romance for Ruco and Natalie was too random to me. There were one too many ships in this drama. Literally no one was single. The only one that had a cute progression was Joel and Tiffany, despite their age difference. I don't know about Open, but if I were her though, I would have left Ko Yung the moment he chose to avenge his brother over me and my baby.

I honestly didn't expect the ending, since people assumed they were just all going to wake up from a coma dreaming the whole thing lol. So I definitely liked this ending way more instead! Felt kind of deep. I love full circles, so I approve!

This is one of the best TVB dramas I watched in a while, that I'm shocked at how much I looked forward to every night just for the latest episode. This drama is not funny, by the way, but more sad and had tons of action scenes with cool Marvel sounding music. The only reason I cried so much in this drama, was because their realistic acting moved me to tears. Best cast ever with the best chemistry. Hana's song also just gets me every time. Go watch it for sure!
