The quality of film, story telling, acting and characterisation is...lacking. Listening to Cantonese in a drama...when the characters raised his voice I was suddenly taken back to Malaysia as if I was hearing it in the background while there. Haha. The story telling is quite weird. Mui seems to be making up a boyfriend and then bang the boyfriend is introduced to the viewers. I guess I can see what people mean when the story is written as the drama is filmed. In Korean dramas, you meet all the important people in the first episode. The personalities are really lacking. The way they threw up some drama with the boyfriend being unreasonable about Bowie feels quite unnatural. And even her response to it is so Home and Away. Isn't that weird, that Cantonese dramas still fall into Western traps? But I think being exposed to Kdrama “moment” fests I have more tolerance for forced sweet moments between couples. But this CG is so crap. My eyes! Is it weird that the brother in law is so creepily Cantonese and annoying? But with familiar mannerisms and familial arguments. I like how the relationships developed and the girls got together to get what they wanted. Cheung Tsai Po I quite like his style of Cantonese. And his personality is so ridiculous. Mui She's pretty tough on herself. I do like that she's just killing the bad guys off like flies. When she's crying in the bathroom and telling herself off. “Why are you crying? He's the one who did wrong, not you.” I was impressed. Of course I have to be nitpicky first thing when comparing a show to Kdramas. The sisterly moments feel quite meaningless. But that was a pretty great moment when her sister beats up the husband. I don't know what the characters in this drama are really feeling. Did Mui really love her boyfriend? If she did, a Korean drama would've told me. She's resilient. I eventually grew to like Mui's cheeky brash and somewhat cheeky personality. And when it comes to warfare, she's pretty awesome. Romance The secondary romance was much more fun and smexy than Mui's. Her's was just awkward.
