Yeah another article of mine. Personally, I feel there are mix reviews about TVB series productions. Some of them are personally like their idols. They put them in priority other than the story line, plot, characters, etc. in a particular drama. But, some of them are perceived to take every single aspects in a drama as a whole in reaching a total conclusion. Yeah personally I feel the same way as the second perception. It is really essential to take note on every essential elements in a particular series.

Nowadays, I personally think the quality of the production has slightly reduced but anyway I think watching TVB drama is a whole lot part of my relaxation. Other than some of the recently hit drama such as follows:

Year 2004 War and Beauty
[A good high budgeted production drama, filming scenes in China]

Year 2005 Wars Of In-Laws
[A light comedy drama, conflict between mother in-laws and daughter in-laws]

Year 2006 La Femme Desperado
[Focus on females, their interactions as well as actions & behaviour in their lives]

Year 2007 Heart Of Greed
[A super hit family oriented drama, conflicts, frictions between family members]

Year 2008 Moonlight Resonance
[A sequel of Heart Of Greed, another complicated family drama, multiple love lines and arguments]

Year 2009 Rosy Business
[Another family conflict drama in the ancient time, events in handling the family business]

Year 2010 ????
[How about this year?]

Yeah there are various upcoming dramas to be aired in 2010 and the subsequent years...

TVB had already aired a few TVB dramas starting from the end of 2009. A Chip Off The Old Block is the first drama to be nominated in 2010. I personally love to watch Ron's drama. Besides, the genre is somewhat amazing without thinking that actually TVB had followed some scenes from the western dramas. Other than Ron, there are other comedians that had contributed a lot for this drama such as Sunny, Myolie, Shirley, Nancy, Gigi, John, Louis-the funniest guy, etc.



There are many funny scenes in this drama, plus some fantasy additions involving Ron turning back to time in order to learn and realize the mistake being made by Ron towards Sunny. Overall this drama is a satisfying one and TVB had already planned for a sequel. Hope it is not a disappointed one as it always does for a sequel.



Yeah The Beauty Of The Game...a drama revolving around entertainment circle, their daily events and conflict between artistes. Although it is a good start for TVB to introduce the real faces that existed in the entertainment line, but sometimes I doubt some events are not going to happen in practice. The conflicts between Kate, Christine and Sharon are pretty cool and somewhat awesome. But there are some scenes that are way too extreme.

A 20 episode is sufficient to mention about mostly events that happen in the entertainment industry. It is a good drama. » Read More

Twinkle (Tavia Yeung) asked Yat Bo (Steven Ma) if they have a chance of going out together as a couple. Yat Bo told her that it's impossible and walked out onto the floating platform. It turns out that Yat Bo was referring to his dad, Gam Gwai (Lau Dan), who asked him, at the same time, if it was possible to buy the fish stall from Wong (Law Lok Lam). Twinkle is upset and embarrassed. She then decided to remain as friends.


Anna (Mandy Cho) and Jeff's (Michael Tse) relationship is on thin ice. Anna has become a little paranoid from the warning she received from her roommate and tried to patch up their relationship by forcing herself to do things Jeff likes to do (ex. play shuttlecock). However, things don't work out the way she wanted it to. Anna had enough with the relationship between Twinkle and Jeff. She gave him two options: marry her or fire Twinkle. Jeff was indecisive and they start to become distant from each other.


Jeff took a trip to the hospital from eating some overdue food. He immediately thought of Anna and called her. Anna forgave him after knowing that she is the one he thought of first when he's in trouble. After a few days, however, Jeff realized that he no longer loves Anna. He texted her a message, stating that he wanted to break up because she wasn't right for him. Rumors start to spread around the office. Twinkle is accused of being the third party of Anna and Jeff's relationship.


Yat Bo decided to confess to Twinkle, with the help of Mei Guen (Shermon Tang). However, every time he tried to confess, there's always something preventing him from confessing. Apparently, Mei Guen is only pretending to help him. She still likes Yat Bo and was determined to stop Yat Bo from confessing to Twinkle. Her parents even helped Mei Guen. Yat Bo's heart was broken after falling for Mei Guen's trap.

Although Twinkle is accused of being the third party, Jeff and Twinkle are still friends. It is revealed in episode ten that they both have each other's reading (from episode one: “Today, you will meet the most important person in your life.”). The two start developing weird feelings towards each other. From that point on, they start to avoid each other. However, they had to go to Germany to receive an award for their toy design. After being lectured by their boss for avoiding each other and not appreciating the company and their career, they decide to go together, regardless of the rumors.


Yat Bo realized Mei Guen was trying to prevent him from confessing. He decided to stop trusting Mei Guen and bought a laptop to e-mail Twinkle. Just as he was sending the e-mail, there was a blackout. He called Twinkle to confirm whether or not his e-mail was sent. Twinkle told him that she wasn't able read her e-mails as she cannot sign into her account. Yat Bo decided to wait until she returns to confess.

Twinkle and Jeff start dating after their experience in Germany together. They've been lost in the middle of a forest, their car broke down and it was snowing heavily outside. Jeff decided to go out to search for help and came back in time to save Twinkle from freezing to death. Twinkle is grateful and realized that she's in love with Jeff. At the same time, Yat Bo was running to Twinkle's house to confess, and saw them holding hands. He is heartbroken once again.

Twinkle finally can sign into her e-mail account. She is surprised to see the e-mail Yat Bo sent and told Jeff about it. Jeff wanted to pretend nothing happened, since Yat Bo thought his e-mail wasn't sent and that she couldn't access her account. After a few days, Twinkle figured it was wrong to pretend nothing has happened and wanted to break up (just to sort things out). Jeff, however, refused to and started to mistrust Twinkle. They experience more problems when Yat Bo injured his shoulder and Twinkle offered to help him with his work load.

While Twinkle was away to help Yat Bo, Jeff was having problems with his toy design for Christmas. Jeff designed a remote-controlled flying sleigh for Christmas. Frankie (Ruco Chan) declared that it was impossible to make it fly around, unless they changed the design. Angry, Jeff decided to hire someone who was capable of doing so. Jeff found Daniel, a mechanical engineer, but he backed out last minute. Jeff turned unreasonable and fired Twinkle when she returned to work.


Jeff continued to be unreasonable and childish until he hurt Yat Bo at a party. Yat Bo wanted things to go back to the way it was. He told them (Jeff and Twinkle) that he wanted to be friends again. However, he realized that things will never be the same because Jeff and Twinkle still have feelings for each other.


Twinkle decided to leave Hong Kong because she couldn't choose who she wanted to be with. Jeff and Yat Bo kept asking her dad, Wing Chung (Law Ho Kai), if he knew her whereabouts, but she didn't inform her dad where she is. After talking with Gam Gwai, Yat Bo predicted that she went to Disneyland. He goes over to find her. When he found her, he also spotted Jeff around looking for her. He selflessly took out his phone and dialed Twinkle's number. Since the three (Jeff, Twinkle and Yat Bo) have the same exclusive ring tone, Jeff was able to recognize that and to found her “first”. Twinkle believes that Jeff is the one she's fated to be with.


Yat Bo was sitting by himself on the floating platform. He received a call from Twinkle, but decided not to pick it up. The series ends with Yat Bo wishing the best for Twinkle and Jeff.
