This series is like the longest investment of emotion for me. Sometimes you feel so much for something you just end up feeling rather exhausted. That was how I felt watching this series. I refuse to say this series was nonsense or that I hated it. Because frankly, like all marriages or friendships, and like all TVB series, I have my moments with it, be they good, bad, terrible or fun. I can't say this series wasn't fun, in the sadistic sense. Watching women arguing, men crying, people slapping, pushing, punching and anything short of gunning down each other. It feels perverse and yet highly entertaining. I would have felt like it was an invasion of privacy to watch people fighting one another if not for the fact that
1. this is fiction since it is just a series
2. more importantly, the lazy, inconsistent and very messy writing made it easier not to feel too much for this series.
Like I said this series has its moments. I suppose I could start on what's not the moments first ...
THE STORY
It started out engaging, dramatic and very addictive and ended up being very dramatic but no more engaging and even less addictive. This series as it goes on and on for 40 episodes seems to get less and less addictive and I find myself not feeling bad for missing a few episodes at a stretch. Each episode or the most 2 deals with a problem that will be solved and I was sorry to see some solved so soon and the ones that isn't solved until the end like the romance arc kept going and going non stop that I find it boring to say the least. But even the romance arc has its moments, weak but still moments that a viewer may find something good in it.
The main story is the Hung-Cho Ba-Hor Ma then there's the Hung/Cho Ba-Children-Hor Ma. Then there's of course the Hung-Sum and Hor Ma-Grandma-Children and Children-Auntie Sa-Grandpa-Hor Ma or...well it's complicated as I add more and more. There are many story arcs but the most interesting is always the ones involving Hor Ma.
The story in itself strayed too far and too often when more focus should be on the family instead of problems faced by the family. Everytime there's a dilemma, I expected it to be solved in 2 episodes max and yes it gets solved in 1 episode max except for the love stories. In a way there is an end to a beginning but it doesn't make for a continued prolonged enjoyment of the series. It is like a moment of satisfaction. Which is why this is an entertaining series but not a good one.
How can a series be entertaining and not good? Anything entertaining is good right? I enjoy watching how Paris Hilton fumbles in her way but is she is good performer? Of course not. Same philosophy. A good series I believe is one that is consistent. Consistent in its story, consistent in its objectives, consistent in its characterisation, direction and performance. Most of all consistent in the plot points. Like Harry Potter series, a set of great books that illustrates the consistencies in plot points. Or Safe Guards the series. Or Journey To The West, where you invest so much of yourself into the series, when it ends you don't want it to end. Moonlight Resonance is one series I was happy to see it end.
Whatever story it has left to tell is very minor and very petty. The story in the first 10 episodes or so were excellent, even if the format is all wrong but at least some stories were engaging. But when it passed the 10 episodes, the story began to falter and in the end fizzled out. Sometimes reignited with some good ones like Auntie Sa's havoc on Hor Ma's life, or how Ka Mei threatened to destroy the family and how Auntie Sa saved the day or in the end how Sum confronted Hung about what happened to grandma. Or the court room where Cho Ba confessed his love.
But even in those scenes, there were moments I wished the writer had paid more attention. Big example would be the whole awfully written court case. I no longer have confidence in TVB to give us a decent portrayal of the professionals, be they doctors, lawyers or police detectives. They still do good stories on the lower income careers like firemen, policemen and such but anyone higher ranking, the entire story will go to impossibly ignorance mode. Don't let me even mention academics and such. It has never been TVB's strong point and I have a feeling they're arrogant enough not to even be bothered with something as miniscule as reality.
We are watching a series, a fiction so who cares about reality. Some may even argue the court room drama was dramatic but cringed at how Cho Ba was denied his fortune. There is a way BUT that is not the way.
Then there's those moments where consistencies were totally out of the window. The lack of distrust and hate for Cho Ba in the beginning by the children, the end where everybody seems to forgive everybody, even the uncles and cousins and grand aunt all get along together with Hung who just minutes earlier was charged and convicted for the death of grandma. People can be forgiving, but in TVB world, they are all saints. The purpose is simple; to achieve the Ka Hou Yuet Yuen concept and because of that an undeserving character like Ka Mei get's to betray both sides and yet be forgiven because the last side she betrayed was the bad side. Did anyone here ever feel sorry for what they've done? Cho Ba did but Hung? Was she remorseful? Was Ka Mei remorseful? I have the impression they just learn to let go but not remorseful. I find these glaring inconsistencies and also very bad writing.
And none is worse than the prolonged suspended story of how Cho Ba who has not left Hung despite Hung being revealed again and again and again as the perpetrator of Hor Ma's misery. And suddenly he left.
Yes, plenty of suddenly. Suddenly Hou has a girlfriend. Suddenly Yuet has a boyfriend. Suddenly Yuen and Ka Mei slept together. Suddenly Hing is in love. Suddenly Ka and Yuet is in love. Suddenly Dr Ling is morose because of Wing Lam.
There are just too many off camera character development that it is getting difficult to follow through. And yet we are expected to feel sad when something happen to one of these couples?
But as always there are moments.
I learn to love Hor Ma's character which I felt was one of the best character TVB has ever produced in recent years and definitely the character that held this series together. I learn to like Cho Ba and understand why Hor Ma accepted him back. I like Ka and learn to see the importance of this character. In fact Ka's character is crucial because he doesn't give a damn to what Hung said AND YET he was so underused. All the children were underused in the Hung-Cho Ba/Hor Ma dispute. I expected to see Ka going into the company to fight for Cho Ba but instead he had heart disease so that kinda killed what I was hoping to see. I was hoping Hou would do something useful other than pining for Sum or worrying about grandma but in the end that's just what he does and nothing more. The rest of the children has less to do that I just find in time they just stand around and not do much. In fact in retrospect none of them had any active role in the struggle between Hor Ma-Hung-Cho Ba but of course they were there for moral support. It would have made for a consistent and outstanding storytelling if the children, any of them or better all of them had something more useful to do than
1. moan about love
2. moan about work
3. moan about someone else
4. have heart disease
In fact I find 6 children is kinda too many. I mean yes family wise 6 children is normal but for storytelling and given 40 episodes to deal with them, 6 children is just too much. The character of Chung can be cut out completely. Of course he is there to be the catalyst for Sum-Hor Ma-Hung confrontation in the beginning but after that poor actor, no more than 10 sentences in the entire series I believe. Then there's Yuen, the perpetual ke-le-fe at the background when he had an interesting plot line; the child of the enemy behind enemy's line so to speak. And when he does have a story, the story is totally and utterly ridiculous. Suddenly he killed someone. Suddenly he is having an affair with Ka Mei. He is shown as a useless son and due to the underdeveloped character, in the end I find him just someone who shows up. I don't feel for him and I feel he is a wimp through and through.
The 4 children with screentime is Hou with the most, then Ka, then Yuet, then Hing. None of them had any to do with the business when they should be and when they did, the story was approaching 40th episode so that kinda discount all those scenes of Ka actually fighting to keep the company, etc. Hing is primarily a character to show the bond of the family and quite frankly, not much else. I like Hing, I find her a very positive character but the series seems rather confused as to what it wants to be; a story about family or a story about corporate struggle. By mixing both and without a proper consistent storytelling, some characters got lost in the way, Yuen for instance. Hou is also a character I like and I love his bond with his grandma but if you notice very carefully, he is just love sick the whole time. Again no part to play in the struggles of Hung-Hor Ma-Cho Ba. Yuet is smack right in the middle in the struggle and she is one character that shows the doubt of the unity of the family and then the strength of it. Her first struggle for acceptance when grandpa said the unthinkable (that she wasn't family) was heart breaking and make for very emotional TV. But the writers having found no other story to repeat chose to repeat the whole ordeal, but this time with Hor Ma that I find it repetetive. And how Yuet begged to go home despite being accused of something she didn't do just doesn't make sense to me. I was hoping to see Yuet actually moving out for good, striking it on her own, landing on her own two feet and later a major reunion scene... but alas, 40 episodes and with so many characters, again Yuet's potential was lost.
Surprisingly Ka is one character that is well developed in the end despite not having as much as screen time as Hou. Ka comes from an interesting background and through conversations and his arguments with Hung and Cho Ba, we get to see some of Ka's personality. I love his confrontation with Hung and hoping he would have more say, he would have more to do but when he was diagnosed with heart disease, I knew my hope was dashed. The entire series after that is will he die or won't he. Well the series is Ka Hou Yuet Yuen, so the title will explain the ending. Which is such a great pity. Ka is a great character with a great storyline. Totally wasted to make room for I suppose Hou and his never ending love story with Sum.
Then there's Sum. This is one character I really like earlier on and still continue to like despite all the crying and moaning for Dr Ling. I feel she is one character with backbone and several times she had clashes with Hung and those moments were often the best in the series and highlights as well. What a pity she was sidestepped during major quarrels and is busy with her love life. And her love life is boring. I really do not care if TVB copied the love triangle from a radio show or whatever, because the story simply sucks. Either TVB copied it without copying the spirit of it or whatever, I have had enough of the whole Dr Ling and Sum romance the moment Dr Ling appeared. The only time I like Dr Ling was when he really said goodbye to Sum. And the whole Wing Lam thing is simply distracting from the actual story.
Imagine if none of those minutes wasted on Dr Ling-Wing Lam-Sum-Hou and given to proper character development of those who matters. Again this series can't decide if it wants to be romance story, investigative story, corporate struggle story or family story. It wants to be everything and I always believe if you're into everything in the end you're good at nothing.
But the story does hit the mark sometimes. I enjoyed Nin Chi Yung's story. I enjoyed Hor Ma's story. To some degree I enjoyed the children's story. I enjoyed Cho Ba's story. I enjoyed Sum's character. I don't enjoy everything wholesale but those moments I enjoy are truly really good moments. Which makes me wonder; this series is good simply because of moments or rather because it is really good?
Sometimes it depends on what you want to see. I am not a picky viewer but I get sick of repetetive storyline. And nowadays I expect nothing less than predictability and half baked plots from TVB. They have good writers, good resources, good actors but why do the stories suck? They take a good story from somewhere else, give it a twist to make it refreshing when in actual fact, the twist is the same old formula. If you ask me, Heart of Greed is more consistent than Moonlight Resonance but is annoying because of the extreme swing of emotion; so happy and then so sad. No middle ground. But it was a successful series and so came Moonlight Resonance which offers better characters but inconsistent storyline, with a storyline that just most often happens out of camera. It is like the news; we see the aftermath after 10 days, no explanation to us what happened in those 10 days, just us assuming this and that happened. It happens to every character, every story. After the 10th episode, you kinda know the drill; problem? Ahhhh can be solved in 45 minutes. Struggles? No worries, will be solved in 1 episode. Family separated and arguments? No worries, since this is Ka Hou Yuet Yuen, everybody will have one big reunion dinner. The end is expected so therefore there is no surprise there.
The only aspect that is surprising is actually the dialogue itself during arguments. Those are good lines, delivered by capable actors, such as Lee Sze Kei shouting at her husband Har Yu "I expect you to come down and speak like a human being would!" or what Sum said to Hung "I don't want the money, I didn't even earn it". These are reality based dialogue that is effective and well written but the writer or maybe writers are like on drugs or something; sometime good, mostly awful. Even the stories get repetetive, or the characters keep going on and on and on about something. Sometimes I feel this series shoots itself on its foot.
Great Characters
It can't be denied the success of this series is the characters, not the storyline. Hor Ma is one character that I feel is one of the best written in years. Without her, the story will simply fall flat. Sum is also a very good character despite the sudden sideline to lovesickness valley. Ka is great despite little is shown. Everybody has some moments.
But the one character I expected to be better than great is Hung. She is after all the villain. But for the first 35 episodes or so, she didn't do anything that I won't expect from a scorned wife/woman. I don't find her evil enough. Maybe the series would like to show her a bit more tame than usual TVB great villains because of the theme of the series. I think that must be it. But when she did pushed grandma and asked Sum to lie for her, again not evil but rather desperate. In the end this character is reduced into this pitiful woman whose entire reason to do what she did was simply because of jealousy. Her earlier stories are great; the way she divided the children and ruled over them. But then all of a sudden her greatness fizzled out. She had too little to do other than smile wickedly or give out some veiled threats. So to me she is not a great or well written villain. Even for a usual character, I find her too understated. I expected more flamboyance, especially the way she dressed. And her ending, looking rather subdued to me is of course a good ending except nobody in that family seems to remember grandma died because of her.
Which is why I feel this series fails in the terms of consistency when it comes to the issue of forgiveness. There are earlier a lot of bottled up anger, as one scene Cho Ba got scolded by each of the children. Surely such bottled up anger is more for Hung as well? And yet other than Ka, none of them ever seem to give her that look. Oh I do not doubt they hate her, but they don't show enough. After all Hung did divided them, did denied them Cho Ba, did insulted Hor Ma, did hurt grandma but in the end their rebellious streak isn't enough; they didn't rebel enough except for those small moments of toasting their parents and not her at her wedding. I expected more active role against Hung. After all why should Hor Ma always be expected to dig herself out of the mess? The children should share some her burden as well.
And talking about villains, I find other characters worse than Hung. Auntie Sa for instance was at first the major villain because of her attitude, her personality, her words, her constant betrayal. But of course she went through hell to redeem herself. And then there's Ka Mei.
If there's character I hate on sight, it was Ka Mei. At least Hung was justified in her action, or Auntie Sa too but Ka Mei had no reasons to betray them again and again. Of course the writers wrote she greatly admired Hung. Well it would be great to show to they met and how she deeply admire Hung instead of these being off camera. I expected nothing less than total destruction of this character and yet in the end all her betrayal seems like nothing because she was accepted back, unconditionally.
And that is the problem of this series; unconditional acceptance. We as viewers would have to accept unconditionally certain things happen so just don't ask. The characters seem to forgive far too easily, accept far too unconditionally when that part, that betrayal and such would make for even better TV if the consequence is emphasised. There is no comeuppance. Even Hung going to jail, that is not comeuppance. For me Hung's comeuppance is when her own beloved daughter betrayed her. But then we are not shown the aftermath. Since this series is already so melodramatic and Sum is already bawling her eyes out every 5 minutes or so, it doesn't hurt to show at least one last scene between Sum and Hung before Hung goes to jail. Or show Sum visiting her, show us the change in Hung, show us how deeply hurt she was by Sum's betrayal and her realisation when she herself set herself up for such betrayal. But instead of that, we have skip to 4 years later and Hung is now a good person, having forgiven Sum. She of course must forgive Sum but show us the process! None of that.
Or show Ka Mei having to do more than just stand up and reveal how grandma died to redeem herself. Revealing how grandma died, everybody was far too fixated on the point that Hung pushed grandma. Doesn't anyone realise Ka Mei was paid to lie and she did lie and she did stood by and let grandma be hurt? No one questioned her on that. Again automatic unconditional acceptance; next scene she is at Hor Ma's place comforted by her husband the useless Yuen. I want to see struggle but all I see is skipped storyline.
I can go on and on and on about this aspect and many others.
But I must emphasise on one of my biggest complain of this series.
Love.
Too much of it.
Sum and Hou, dragged on too long.
Sum and Dr Ling and Wing Lam, pointless.
Yuet and her 1st boyfriend, all of a sudden and it ended even before we knew it began.
Hou and his girlfriend, all of a sudden and never even started and then it ended even before we knew he actually have a girlfriend.
Ka Mei and Ka, never liked this pair. It is simply all about sex and money.
Ka Mei and Yuen, all of a sudden and never liked them at all.
Ka and Yuet, never had the impression Ka looked at Yuet other than as a sister.
And if you notice, they either married their cousin or adopted sister or step sister, so to speak and that to me is like horrifying. But someone made a good point; the series is already saturated with characters, so nowhere to fit in new ones.
Sum and Hou, I can accept. After all they dated when they were young and since none of them accepted Hung as their mother, Sum technically was never a sister to them, maybe just a playmate.
Yuen and Ka Mei, also I can accept since they're just cousins from mother's side.
But Ka and Yuet, not only did I not get the whole love thing between them, it is wrong for them to be in love. So Korean, so sick in my opinion. So you may argue Yuet was like never officially adopted, but Hou, Hing even Ka treats her as a sister. Even Ka repeatedly said Yuet is his sister. So when did sister became lover? When did Ka fell for her? Again automatic assumption; it just happened. I find this relationship especially disturbing. Why can't Yuet be a friendly neighbour? Oh, then we won't have "I beg to come home" scene. But wouldn't you freak out if your brother marries a girl you see as your sister and lived with your family for decades and everybody treats her like a sister and even your brother says she is his sister?
Then there is the lack of social life. None of the children have friends outside their own family circle and they even marry within that circle except for Hing and hopefully Chung (who I believe sports the same green jacket 4 years later). I don't see them go out, I don't see them mixing around. Again of course this is due to lack of time so no proper characterisations and such. But really.. is it...
LACK OF TIME
I don't believe in that. I have seen Japanese series given 10 episodes with 1 hour each to talk about family struggle and they can set up proper story, proper characters, a beginning and end in that time so why is this one so poorly developed?
40 episodes and yet everything that happened in the end seems to happen out of camera, only with dramatic moments in the camera. I won't say poor acting. Actors deal with the material they're given. Could some scenes be edited out? Perhaps is there a 100 episodes Moonlight Resonance but was edited to a more viewer friendly 40 episodes? Or maybe bad writing? Or rushed writing? Or simply callous writing? Or maybe the directors or powers that are wanted a different direction; more sensationalism, less about telling a good story?
Which is a pity. Moonlight Resonance in its core has a very powerful story to tell. A struggle of a divorced mother, hoping to bring together all her divided 6 children who grew out of the closeness over the years, having to deal with a manipulative and controlling stepmother, a father that is useless and a coward, bickering aunts and power struggle.. it is a story about family but the way the series went, it just became a headlines sort of series, but none of the proper news reporting.
The ratings is high quite simply because the viewers crave headlines sort of series. Of course we put up with the distractions and we got bored but when there comes the headlines, we quickly forgot that this is a pretty badly written story and a poorly told story. I myself got sucked into the headlines. Read my thoughts and you could read I simply love some of those moments and what great moments they were. This series is a swing between 2 extremes; when it is good, it is great, when it is bad, it is simply awful. There is no middle ground.
PERFORMANCES
But the performances elevated a mostly repetetive and sensational series into a more credible series.
Lee Sze Kei great exceeded my expectation. I expected kindly preachy woman but she is not that preachy and definitely not a pushover. This is one very memorable character.
Michelle Yim did well with what she had but she could have done much better if a better character is written for her. I appreciate the fact she does not hesitate contort her face in anger, making her look old and ugly.
Moses Chan grew on me. Disliked him at first and thought this was like Heart of Greed, he delivered some memorable lines with great force and very controlled acting.
Raymond Lam is someone I always liked. When asked between him and Bosco who would I choose, I would not hesitate to say of course the more handsome one that is Raymond. He has a viewers' face and I liked him ever since his turn in Survivors' Law as the very likeable I think the name was Ben. He is also an actor who has shown tremendous growth in his acting skills; I still remember his operatic acting but over the years his style changed and it became normal and layered with subtlety. It helps that he is also a handsome fella. So yes I like him and I think within the limitations of his character he did well except when his character is strained. He seems to struggle in those scenes and he is at his best when he is required to be charming.
Chris Lai is terrible in part because his character is so poorly developed and also because he is a lousy actor. He has only 1 expression; that of worried look. And I find his speech pattern in this series not that good. He doesn't speak properly, doesn't seem to have a commanding voice at all.
The actor as Chung is totally forgettable. Waste of time if you ask me.
Har Yu was at first annoying but he became better as his character became more remorseful. I think he did well within the confines of his character.
Tavia Yeung is someone I think I'd rather not comment on too much. I find her fanbase as quite large and certainly quite defensive when it comes to her. I won't deny that much for her fanbase because quite frankly, she was always the sidelined one in the past, the most underappreciated. Of course she can act, and can act very well in those dramatic panicky moments and could cry rather well but there is a sense of predictability with her that I find her rather boring sometimes. Sometimes she surprised me, in that series Land Of Wealth I think and also her breakout role which I can't remember the title but the one that got her noticed and her pairing with Bowie Lam. It is an issue about charisma that I find lacking. I shall stop at this and not go on any further. I believe my episodic thoughts and various posts revealed some of my thoughts on her, and I must emphasise mostly favourable. But I stand by the fact she suffers the same fate as Moses Chan; the inability to carry a series.
Fala Chen is someone who indeed surprised me. As a mute, she was convincing eventhough the series threw out consistency when someone can predict what she says before she sign something. I was very impressed with her signing skills and without her usually rather arrogant sort of speaking taken away from her, her inner gentleness is shown through her portrayal as the gentle Hing. I like Hing as well. Fala Chen is one to lookout for but I feel her biggest problem is the way she speaks. Somehow when she speaks she gives me an impression she is rather arrogant. Some people just have that sort of problem.
Linda Chung impressed me. Of course her constant crying is a headache and my god, she really cried like "huuuhh huuuuhhh huuh" and not like "sniff sniff" sort of way. Not a pretty way to cry but well, realistic. I mean you found out your ideal guy already got a girlfriend of 7 years or your mother was such a bitch, I suppose you too would cry like that. But constant crying is what makes me turn against her. The writer's fault, not Linda's fault. Her looks in here are pretty plain, her hairstyle rather boring and yet she exudes elegance and gentleness. In the past I may not be able to stand someone talking like she does but in here it fits the gentleness of her character. Sum is one character I liked from earlier on who I grew to be frustrated with but in the end applauded. I think Linda Chung held her own very well with her scenes with Lee Sze Kei and also Michelle Yim and she does have great chemistry with Raymond Lam, but not so with Bosco. I would view her performance in here as a positive thing, despite the flood of tears and the headache it caused me.
Wayne Lai is one of my firm favourites in this series with Nin Chi Yung a definite great character and probably the most consistent one. Luckily he had to leave the series before the writers make Nin Chi Yung inconsistent! Love love love him. All actors should look to him at how to act. His eyes as he stares at Michelle, the way he pursed his lips, etc. I believe give him eyeglasses and he can be an intellectual so may I dare to suggest he either be Yukawa in TVB Galileo or at least the lab assistant? His presence is enough to want to make me watch a certain series. His name alone would make me switch channels however the series sucks.
Susanna Kwan was a revelation. I know many hated her, but that is because Auntie Sa is such a terrible character. But Susanna Kwan really threw out everything elegant, everything feminine and like Michelle Yim readily contort her rather pretty face into an ugly look of anger, jealousy, resentment. She brought out all those and the fact why I hate Auntie Sa is because Susanna Kwan's excellent performance. She is also one of the more consistent character in this series as in the usual trouble maker.
Kate Tsui was passable. Despite her character redeeming herself, maybe there is something off with Kate Tsui, maybe her eyes not settling down or something that just makes her Ka Mei's motive fishy. I don't think she is a bad actress but I don't think I want to see more of her. Her entire expression in this series and in other series give me an impression she is kooky. Something unstable about her.
And everybody else, like Lee Heung Kam and the older generations far exceeded my expectations.
Basically I have no problem with the performances which is why I said what a pity the story and the way it was told was not worthy of the talented pool of actors this series has.
Conclusion
So is this a good series? It entertained me for some 30 episodes or so. Not all 60 minutes of each episode but probably 35 minutes of each episode. When the moments are good I tend to forgive the less than stellar moments. But sometimes some inconsistencies or injustice or poor writing can't be overlooked, like some poor characterisations. However in the end, deep down in my heart, I prefer this over Heart of Greed. I hated Heart of Greed except for the last episode. I suppose I am those headlines sort of person. But I feel terrible for really well told stories that didn't grab attention as much as this one did. I felt terrible I am one of those viewers contributing to the decline of TVB; let's face the truth shall we; the more we encourage such poorly written series the more TVB will make them and so the good ones get left behind. I have seen the great old days of TVB when strong writing is the forte. I still remember Journey To The West fondly, I greatly love Safe Guards, I am sure I will love the recent new offerings where the cast are not as huge or as many. But it seems TVB these days either take a story wholesale from some sources and reportedly update it (which in fact maybe dumb it down or worse still, give it the usual TVB treatment that makes it no different than any other of its series) or borrow characters from some source (again wholesale but in a different scenario) or making same old stories rehashed into supposedly something new when in actual fact it is the same old contents but with new packaging. I believe TVB still has good writers left, if they're given the creative freedom. I still believe TVB is capable of making classics. Like I said, they have the resources, they have the talented actors and perhaps even some very good directors and writers. I think the more popular a genre the more restricted the creative flow for subsequent works. I am hoping to see a different and revived TVB giving out value for money to viewers. One that depends on the good old notion of a story well told.
Moonlight Resonance is a good entertaining series but to me in the end it is not a story well told. Some years down the line, it will be apart of the many series that were entertaining but hardly well remembered. Not one for the keeps and certainly not one you would shell out hundreds of ringgits or risk your freedom to download the torrent. That series is still somewhere out there in TVB, but perhaps even TVB is too successful to realise they may be heading towards brain drain when it comes to good storytelling. I hope that won't be the case anytime soon.
