Acting/Cast: Been watching Ruco in a few dramas lately and haven't figured out what the fascination about him is, but after this drama.. he's found himself a new little fan - he is great! Alot of people complain about Aimee's acting, but I think she did rather well in this compared to some others I've seen. I didn't like Ron in this much, I think he's character was just not very like-able - he is meant to be the 'nice' guy but no.. I just didn't like his character. Also, haven't seen Yoyo around much but she didn't really stand out to me much. Vivien, however, I think played her role rather well - I wonder why TVB doesn't promote her much..? Other characters are good too - they all had their purposes.
Music: There wasn't much music in this.. or was there? I can only remember those background music in those intense scenes..
Rewatch Value: I probably won't rewatch this because I know the story now.. duh! So no surprises here.. But if someone else was watching it, I wouldn't mind plopping down and watching it again.. XD
Overall: Have never been a big fan of action dramas, but watched a few TVB ones recently. I must say that this is the BEST one TVB has made so far... which I've seen. I highly recommend this!

Acting/Cast: Perfect! I love the casting of this drama. SLW was a very surprising new comer and she did an amazing job! I was actually very excited for Evan's role as Jeremy, but somehow his hairstyle butchered the cuteness that he has. Evan is really cute with an incredibly adorable smile, if only they did not give him that hideous hairdo. T_T and yes Jiro was wonderful!
Music: I loved the songs, they remade them really nicely. But I will always love the original versions more. Plus singing in korean sounds so much nicer then mandarin.. it melts my heart. <3
Rewatch Value: I can't see myself watching another version of this drama again let alone the same one. But it would be a worthwhile rewatch - was good.
Overall: Out of all the versions, I loved this one the best. For me there was not a dull moment. You're Beautiful comes closely behind because it had such a beautiful cast, but this version just had the better and improved screenplay. Bravo!

Acting/Cast: After finishing Love, Now I was crazy about this couple George and Annie. I think they were the hottest 'couple' in TW at the time. Of course when news came out that they were filming this new drama I was totally going to watch it. Their chemistry is sizzling, but I felt it fell a little short in this drama. Maybe I just had too high of expectations... T_T
Music: "come back to me... come back to me..." OMG Bii is an amazing singer!! And this song was amazing! I had this on repeat for as long as the drama was airing, but of course I had to move on to the next drama and my crazy OST song fascination continues XD
Rewatch Value: As much as I loved the George and Annie, I probably wouldn't be watching this again. If I needed my GeoNiNi fix, I'll go straight to Love, Now
Overall: I had high expectations for this drama, but was disappointed by it alot. Even the hottest couple in TW can not resurrect a drama with a poorly written script. The only reason I gave this a 8 was because the beginning was really cute. After George and Annie got together it just started dragging on and on and on and on... disappointing.

Acting/Cast: Jack is so adorable!! I loved watching him in this. Chris, Serena, Amanda, Sean, Ke Fan, etc. Props to them all for giving us this wonderful drama!
Music: Personally, I did not like the opening song at all. This is one of those songs where you hear it and don't think much of it. Now I don't even remember the tune of it.. I'd even say none of the insert songs were even memorable.
Rewatch Value: This drama was a whopping 72 episodes! I probably won't be watching this again.
Overall: Nice family drama with really slow story development, but that is expected for such a long drama. I would recommend this to those who like watching romance and seeing couples being shy yet affectionate with each other. It is really cute.

Acting/Cast: Danson &lt;3 I originally watched this for Danson but his character was terrible.. My favourite character in this would have to be Jay, he's so sweet and his cakes and pastries looked YUM! Can't say much about everyone else..
Music: I think music also plays an important role in the success of a drama. For some reason I found the music in this very dull.. maybe that's why I felt the drama itself was boring...?
Rewatch Value: If I could start over, I would have never picked this one up. It was a waste of my time..
Overall: Over the course of 68 episodes I really felt like there was a lack of story development and it was just dragging on and on. I thought the beginning was pretty good but then it dropped and just kept dropping. By the end I was practically skipping through each episode just so I can know how the drama would end.

Acting/Cast: Sonia is one of my favourite actresses and her chemistry with Tony in this is just amazing! Acting in this was pretty perfect. One of my issues with this was the selection of the supporting casts, especially Kelly which I thought was not suitable for her character at all.
Music: I loved the music played in this drama. The songs enhanced the overall outcome of the whole drama itself. But not songs I would put on repeat to listen to in my spare time.
Rewatch Value: There are so many new dramas coming out that even if I wanted to watch this again, I wouldn't find the time. T_T
Overall: I loved this drama alot! It was a breath of fresh air and would highly recommend this especially if you watched In Time With You and enjoyed that one. These dramas were very pure and beautiful unlike most of the TW dramas produced.

Acting/Cast: Leroy and Chloe were the only experienced actors besides the older veteran actors. All the young-ins especially some of the girls need more acting classes XD Nothing amazing in terms of acting, but there was definitely a huge list of actors.
Music: Honey, Honey, Honey.... Oh. Honey, Honey, Honey.. is all I remember. Catchy? Yes. I think so.
Rewatch Value: Not something I would plan to rewatch, but who knows.
Overall: I enjoyed most of the side stories in this except for the whole gangster story at the end. I am SO OVER gangster stories. One of the biggest issue I have with this drama is that none of the side stories really have closure so you're left wondering what happened next for them?? But still a nice drama.

Acting/Cast: I do not like the main guy How, but I will admit that he did act well. The highlight for me was definitely Mandy - she was amazing. You could really feel her emotions and her heartbreak and everything else. I hope to see her in more dramas soon! It feels mean to say this.. but Jenna is very suitable to play her bitchy roles, she does them so well. Props to her!
Music: The opening song is breathtaking. I absolutely LOVE it. It is such a beautiful song with so much emotions in it! I had it playing on repeat for a few days and I had to turn it off because it was actually downing on me XD But it is beautiful!
Rewatch Value: If I was ever feeling down and in the mood for something depressing I would watch the first episode and skim through the rest..
Overall: When I first read the synopsis I thought to myself I must watch this! But then I saw the main character was played by How and I hesitated. But I watched it anyway after hearing so much good things about it and I'm glad I did! I know alot of people here did not like the pace of the drama and the direction it went, but I still enjoyed this drama alot!

*CONTAINS SERIOUS SPOILERS*Story: This is a story of how a promising lawyer went down the wrong path because of an accident. His desire to walk again leads him to make many wrong choices - using all those around him and hurting the one he loves. This drama touches on the issue that any good person can actually be a bad person and any bad person can actually be a good person.
Acting/Cast: What really stood out for me in this drama was Roger! I never particularly enjoyed watching him as he's always taking on comedy roles and I cannot stand watching him do comedy. For some reason whenever I pick up a drama and he's in it, I end up dropping it... he's comedic acting just puts me off so much. But he was amazing in this! He conveys all his feelings so well with his facial expressions which is really impressive. His relationship with Kristal was quite sweet as well that I was actually hoping that they could stay together. What I absolutely hated in this was Lisa... her acting was terrible! I wonder how she managed to land herself such a big role for a complete newbie. As for Ron, I found him somewhat mediocre in this and hope to see him in a better role soon. I was secretly rooting for him and Vivien XD
Music: That one love song between Louis and Leanne was actually quite nice. I believe Louis sang it himself which was a pleasant surprise because I didn't know he was a singer too?
Rewatch Value: Probably will not be touching this one again.
Overall: I found this drama very interesting actually. I enjoyed the story from beginning to the end and I really liked how it was just one big storyline with all the sub stories actually connecting to the larger story as a whole. For me this was a really strong point, as I'm not a big fan of all those other TVB crime dramas with lots of random small cases, then a sudden 'big' case at the end. I loved how everything intertwined with one another in this one. But as interesting as this drama was, there was something about it that made me not enjoy it as much as I could have. For the first time, I actually did not like any particular character in this drama and this may be why I couldn't find myself enjoying this one to its fullest.

Acting/Cast: Initially I decided to watch this because of the leads Ruco, Linda, Natalie and Raymond. I however, found their acting a bit mediocre. This could be because of the terrible story and scripting. At first I was very intrigued with Raymond's story development, but as it progressed I lost interest especially when Natalie was always around. I found her character very annoying that I couldn't find myself to like her scenes at all. The only pulling factor left now was Ruco and Linda, but I was overly disappointed as they barely had much screen time together nor any development until the very last episode. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Sammy in this though he played the villain and it made me hate seeing him on screen. This was rather different from swooning over him in Line Walker XD His character was just too despicable.The supporting characters didn't help with the story either - especially Pierre and Shirley were both equally annoying to watch. I did however like Jazz in this. He was a quirky little character.
Music: I guess the theme song sets the whole mood for the drama - slow and dull.
Rewatch Value: I actually regret picking this up in the first place.
Overall: As this was my first pre-modern drama I was very disappointed. I've never been interested in pre-modern and had hoped that this would change my mind. Unless you're a diehard fan of Linda and Ruco, I'd suggest giving this a pass. Even with the great casting, this wasn't enough to save a disaster of a drama when the script does not allow it to do anything. I found this drama very boring and non-progressive. I would have dropped this if I wasn't hoping for some miracle ending for Ruco and Linda and there wasn't. I felt like I wasted my time on this drama and do no recommend it at all. There are much better dramas out there.

Acting/Cast: I originally watched this for Xiao Zhu (aka Show) and Gui Gui (aka Emma)! Was really excited that Show was finally acting in a new drama. However, I was disappointed that it was a Chinese production though as I don't generally enjoy them as much as Taiwanese dramas. TT I usually cannot stand all the dubbing. I was glad that they didn't dub them, I'm not sure about the other Chinese actors though XD Usually I love watching Emma in dramas because she is so adorable, but I really disliked her character in this. She was a bit unbalanced - perhaps due to poor writing. I also absolutely hated the main female lead in this too! She was beyond annoying - I especially dislike girls like her in reality!
Music: It was quite nice hearing Show with another song although I've never really been a huge fan of his singing. I do like some of his slow ballad songs though.
Rewatch Value: Probably won't be touching this one again. I actually ended up skipping through the last 10 episodes or so as I can easily understand what's going on with the story. I didn't care about the details anymore.
Overall: It got off to a nice start, but then the story went no where. The story had no originality and I felt like I have seen everything in it before. Every bit was predictable and expected with no surprises at all. It was fun at first but then got really tedious to sit through.. of course there are some really cute parts which I enjoyed. I also didn't feel like there was much development with the relationships - how did everyone end up liking each other? Couples were just suddenly into each other and in love O.O Only reason I watched this is for Show! So if you are a die hard fan of his, go ahead and watch this, otherwise I advise to stay away as there are much better dramas out there..

Acting/Cast: Initially I watched this for Kenneth and Selena as they are one of my favourite actors in HK right now. This was actually my first time seeing them play a couple and OMG their chemistry is off the charts! I will always ship this couple from now on and hope to see them together in more dramas. I've always had a little crush on Kenneth ever since seeing him in &quot;To Grow With Love&quot; but he always played the minor roles. I am so happy that he finally has his and TVB are now promoting him like crazy. I've also always liked Selena and hope to see her in more dramas... she isn't in much compared to others which is a pity T_T Another character that really stood out to me was Raymond... this was the first time I ever took notice of him in dramas as I think he played his role really well. The rest of the cast did a great job too! I was actually really pleased with the casting of this drama. I think the cast really brought out the best in this drama...
Music: I guess the theme song was quite fitting... although I usually just skipped through it because I hate how they put prominent scenes in there which ruins the show because you know what will happen...
Rewatch Value: I really enjoyed watching the scenes between Kenneth and Selena. I love how sweet and supportive Selena is to him, and how loving and caring Kenneth is to her. Their trust i each other is everything and every time I see them on screen together I can't help but smile. They are truly too adorable! I wouldn't mind watching their scenes over and over - creepy much? XD
Overall: I really enjoyed this drama mostly because of Kenneth and Selena &lt;3 There was nothing special with the story but I did like how the cases were all solved fairly quickly and not dragged on and on. I also liked how it was more comical then serious even though it wasn't a comedy and more of a drama. I actually liked the overall story and thought the pacing was really well done. I don't feel like there was any drag during the beginning or any rushing towards the end like usual TVB dramas. I also loved the ending.

Story: A unique story of two guys raising a daughter together.. and they're not gay XD Although the romantic love story lines were not the main focus in this drama, they were slowly developed and I loved the diversity of it. All 4 couples managed to capture my interest which is amazing! This may contain a bit of SPOILER.. From the little Bears cute adoration of Wendi, to Marcus and Amanda's chasing the girl of his dreams who is totally out of his league, to Cherry and Youwei's pet-like caring to appreciation to almost-love, to finally Megan and Leroy's hate turned friendship to soon-to-be-love relationship. Acting/Cast: It was the first time seeing a lot of the actors in this and I loved every one of them. Lucia was adorable as the daughter and she acted lovely. Great casting really! Special props to Amanda because there was a few episodes where she was clearly incredibly sick but she continued acting as normal - that's professional right there <3
Music: None of the songs used really appealed to me. The opening song didn't do much for me neither. But that doesn't matter because the drama was great.
Rewatch Value: Instead of re-watching, I'd wish they would have just continued this drama. It could easily have gone to 100 episodes with no problem and I would still have continued watching.
Overall: I really liked this drama!! It is not like any of those other dramas which focus all on romantic love. It has different kinds of love between parents, kids, siblings, and friends. This is a really funny, touching and loving drama.. with many moments that brought tears to my eyes..

Acting/Cast: I started this hoping the comedy presented by Wong Cho Lam would not be slapstick type and YES it was not. I think he really carried this drama and if anyone else was cast for his role, I probably would not have enjoyed this drama as much. He is one of a kind. Newcomer Stephanie, although her acting was pretty cringe worthy at times, I found her portrayal of her character really cute and like-able. I'll definitely keep an eye out for her in upcoming dramas. They were really the only two characters that had me glued to the screen. Nancy was really mediocre in this probably because of her poor character. Ben and Joey just did not interest me all that much.
Music: Opening song was quirky and upbeat. Totally lifts up my mood before I dove into the actual drama itself.
Rewatch Value: Probably not something I would rewatch, but who knows.
Overall: It was a pretty good comedy. Enjoyed Wong Cho Lam moments very much that I went to find other dramas with him in it.. not much luck in getting my hands on them though. I would recommend to only pick this one up if you have nothing better to watch and in the mood for something light and enjoyable.

Acting/Cast: Not a fan of any of the actors in this, but Joyce and Angela played their bickering relationship decently. Don't remember much on Pierre, but Evergreen was great - he always plays his roles well.
Music: What is with the whole Chinese New Year theme?
Rewatch Value: Not something I will ever consider sitting through again. The bickering and competition just got annoying after awhile.
Overall: Wasn't too impressed with this drama. First episode and last episode was definitely all i needed to watch. Everything else in between was fairly predictable.
