TVB UPCOMING BROADCASTING SCHEDULE

QUEENS OF DIAMONDS & HEARTS

The 2 hour finale of QUEENS OF DIAMONDS & HEARTS will air on Sunday, 4/12/12 from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

The series is finally coming to an end. Not happy or sad. After all, it wasn't the best series..but it wasn't the worst..some parts were pretty good..i could see Fala's acting skills continue to improve..and then there was Sharon..I was never a fan of her or anything but I never hated her..she was just there...but after this series [& probably b/c i have rewatched THE BEAUTY OF THE GAME not too long ago], I've been starting to notice her..i like her in nice roles :D I thought the part where the 3 main characters, Roger, Fala, & Sharon switch characters was pretty good b/c they start to get along w/ each other after :D i really liked when Sharon & Fala got along so well..anyways..this series isn't a 'must-watch series' but there wasn't really anything else 2 watch [b/c ive caught up on all my series] so...i watched this..not bad...a lot of people online have said something like: 'Fala Chen is not my favorite actress but I like her in QUEENS OF DIAMONDS & HEARTS' or 'Fala's role in QUEENS OF DIAMONDS & HEARTS'...well, I finished the ending..it was an okay series overall...

SERGEANT TABLOID

This drama will be replacing QUEENS OF DIAMONDS & HEARTS. It will only be aired overseas & not in Hong Kong. 

GREATNESS OF A HERO

This drama will be replacing QUEENS OF DIAMONDS & HEARTS in Hong Kong only. This series has aired overseas in 2008, I believe. I won't be watching this..I think I've watched it awhile back...I'll be watching Sergeant Tabloid instead..

TVB DRAMAS

so far, i've watched/have been watching:

• BOTTLED PASSION
• WISH AND SWITCH
• L'ESCARGOT
• THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH
• QUEENS OF DIAMONDS AND HEARTS

and in order from favorite to least favorite:

• THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH
• BOTTLED PASSION
• WISH AND SWITCH
• QUEENS OF DIAMONDS AND HEARTS
• L'ESCARGOT

THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH-I don't really wunna talk much about it rite now..or i won't have anything to say for my "thoughts" post..but i love it! it's so different [in many aspects]...i'll talk about that later :P

BOTTLED PASSION-Wished there was a different ending...but still loved it..I really thought there was hope for TVB after watching the drama :P no offense, TVB..

WISH AND SWITCH-I haven't really watched many dramas/movies like this before...so i thought it was pretty cool..and it wasn't all tragic and stuff :) 

QUEENS OF DIAMONDS AND HEARTS-it's ok..but it's not a must-watch..just watching it b/c sometimes, i want a good laugh...but i like Fala's character..smart and funny..also kind...but now, not really liking it as much as before b/c Sharon's starting to plot against Fala [Sharon's family is kinda twisting the truth] ..and it all seems like BEYOND THE REALM OF CONSCIENCE and stuff like that...but of course, it's less intense...and it's still funny at some parts...

L'ESCARGOT-err...it was a happy ending..i guess..but kinda too tragic...not really my type of drama...it probably would have been b4..but now..no..it's just too complicated..i like things more on the simple side i guess..i would have liked this drama and probably would have cried for Linda b4..and bonus points b/c it was a modern drama...but now..ehh...not really..i only really enjoyed watching the mom and Him Law and Yoyo Chen..and I liked watching Mandy Wong's acting...

OVERALL-The dramas that have aired this year are not bad..they're all pretty refreshing...just the endings...omg...im SICK of watching everyone die in the end...and im SICK of watching TVB have 2 hour finales where they just suddenly solve all the problems...and of course...SOMEONE DIES..omg...i hope im wrong..but Tavia might die at the end of THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH...since it seems to be a trend..before, i thought the people dying weren't that bad...b/c TVB never really did that before..but now..ugh...

STATUS UPDATE

Hey everyone...don't really know what 2 post/don't really have time yet..thoughts 4 THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH will be up next week...after it ends...also, congrats to Shirley! She had a baby girl..Haven't seen her onscreen since...idk...THE COMEBACK CLAN? or A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK...don't remember which one came first...anyways...it seems like Ron's popularity has been gradually decreasing...before, he used to be more "wow" now it's more Bosco & Kevin and stuff...he's still a first line artiste..but it's just not the same as before..like remember for the 2011 TVB Gala thing? for the Chok section? Most of the first line artistes walked alone...but he had to walk w/ Kenneth..and Kenneth is kinda more on the lower level out of the first line artistes...please don't get me wrong..I love both Ron & Kenneth..[esp. Kenneth at this moment b/c of THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH-love his character!]...anyways...just sumthing i noticed...Also, has anyone noticed/ read about the news article online about THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH? [where Tavia was holding the phone showing "Andy's" grandma something?] I didn't notice 'til I saw it online...but they said when they zoomed in on the phone, the hand holding the phone was a man's hand..For those of you watching THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH, what do u guys think of it? more specifically, Mandy's character...i thought I would save this for after the drama ended to complain..but she really got on my nerves...it was so manipulative of her to hide the letters...and it really bugged me when she was telling Tavia that she liked Kenneth...she called Tavia "ga jie" [older sister] just so Tavia would let go of Kenneth..well, Mandy's pretty good at acting out the role..but i don't think it's 2 beneficial to her if she keeps taking on these roles..b/c a lot of people that watch TVB dramas don't really pay attention to the news about the artistes and stuff...and they don't really know the artistes..so they'll probably mistaken them as bad people...lol..my grandma hated Mandy in L'ESCARGOT..and now, she hates her even more..i have to explain to her everytime..] lol...this is really random..but when my grandma tells me to sew up my jeans, I have to explain to her that they're supposed to be like that :P o..another random thing...i think Oscar may end up with the girl that plays Louis's sister in QUEENS OF DIAMONDS AND HEARTS

STATUS UPDATE

Hey everyone!! For all returning readers, I'm finally back :] Sorry for the long wait :P TVB STARLIGHT has changed a little and if you have any trouble getting around the blog, please visit ABOUT BLOG..also, i will not copy and paste news articles..but i may summarize some in my Status Updates..sorry for any inconvenience caused...and for all new readers, welcome! :] Comments on Recent dramas:

THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH- I love it! :] I like how all the housemen are pretty new artistes...so it's a nice way to introduce newcomers..People have been saying Tavia's nose job was quite distracting..but I haven'r really noticed until i read their comments...i'll post up more thoughts with screencaps after the drama ends :P but I really like Him Law's character..Tavia's character is okay...I like Kenneth's character..but I don't really like Mandy's character..but she does a pretty good job acting out the role...

QUEENS OF DIAMONDS AND HEARTS-I didn't think it would be that great...but turns out, it's not bad...some parts are pretty funny..it's a good drama for a pastime...it's pretty lighthearted..I like Roger and Fala's characters are pretty funny..also, Sharon's character isn't bad...it's pretty funny when she tries not to laufh when Roger and Fala are fighting...o and love how Roger is always afraid of Oscar's pen...Koni's character is quite cute..I won't really be posting thoughts on this drama...but I may post minor thoughts in my Status Updates...

LET IT BE LOVE-Sorry..but I don't plan on watching this series..have not..and will not.. :P

L'ESCARGOT-It was okay..I won't be posting up anything on it..but here are some of my thoughts:

MICHAEL MIU & SONIJA KWOK-I like how Michael Miu's character always puts others before himself...Also, Sonija's character was pretty nice and respectful towards elders..I liked the part in the beginning where Sonija's mother-in-law reveals that she knows it's hard for Sonija, having to deal with Mandy..and she knows that Mandy is always the one causing the trouble...I also like the part near the end where her mother-in-law went to their rented room because she was mad at Mandy...and i like how she tells Sonija how she never had to do any chores when they lived together b/c Sonija would do them..

RON NG & LINDA CHUNG-Honestly, I didn't really find their relationship all that interesting...even in the beginning..b/c it was just..too peaceful..but those are just my thoughts..but I love how they realized that they couldn't be together after all the problems they have been through..and love how Linda decides to let go..she seems to have matured over the course of the drama...I didn't like how Ron got with JJ b/c of revenge...but then again, i guess the scriptwriter wanted to show that Ron's character is human too...glad it was a happy ending for them :)

RON NG & JJ JIA-Many people were supporting this couple instead of Ron & Linda when the drama was airing..I was part of that group :P I was just tired of the whole Ron-Linda-Michael thing...It was really refreshing to have Ron & JJ meet and get together and stuff..[and by refreshing, i mean compared to the whole Ron-Linda-Michael thing..] it was like a relief from their complicated love triangle...Also, JJ's character was pretty nice..I like how she is willing to let go of Ron if he really wants to be with Linda :)

MICHAEL TSE & LINDA CHUNG-Umm..not a fan of this couple..Michael didn't even have a reason for liking Linda...but anyways..still love how he is willing to do anything and everything for Linda..

MICHEAL TSE & JOYCE TANG-Typical wealthy couple..Joyce portrayed the character well...she seemed really elegant..

MANDY WONG & OSCAR LEUNG-I didn't like Mandy's character in the beginning..[but great acting!] but in the end, I like how she finally started to respect her mother-in-law and how she decided to give the apartment back to Michael Miu...as for Oscar, I like how he always remembers that his brother, Michael Miu, helped him through his darkest times...

HIM LAW & YOYO CHEN-Finally..my favorite couple!! anyways..they're really cute together...lol..like when Yoyo was sitting outside the apartment..and she started telling Him Law how tired she was of watching over her toilet paper and making sure Him Law doesn't steal it..lol..

MEMORABLE SCENE-This sounds really mean..but i like the part where the mother dies...it was sad..but I like how they all remember all the stuff they've been through with her..especially Linda..I love when Linda thinks back and remembers how her mom comforted her...so sad..

i learned a lot about buying houses/apartments in Hong Kong from the drama...I never knew it was that hard..and also like Michael's house in the drama...Micheal Tse's house....I like JJ Jia's room..I want a house like that >.<

WISH AND SWITCH-I really liked this drama :) it was pretty lighthearted..i like Selena Li & Vincent Wong as a couple..how they both loved each other..but never admitted it..not much for Johnson Li & Myolie Wu's relationship though...lol..love how Myolie was so "see-lai"...also, i liked Jade and Hei Jai...loved when they fought and stuff...Jade has pretty good comebacks..and in case u haven't noticed, she plays Ron's younger sister in L'Escargot..and Hei Jai is just cute..but like i didn't really like the ending..too tragic..i wish they stuck to the lighthearted mood..it really wasn't necessary for them to kill off Myolie..but the theme is refreshing...for a TVB drama...sorry...but I will not be posting up thoughts on this either :P
