I can't watch Dicky Cheung's TV show if it someone else who dubbed him. It have to be this particular voice. I don't know who did the dubbing, but his voice went so well with Dicky Cheung's characters. I always want to find who the voice actor was, but I had no luck.
I believe I watched this in the late 80s or early 90s. It was a period piece where some astroid type rock hit the planet and they used it to forge a sword and sabre. The sword had some heat element to it while the sabre had some ice element to it. Whoever wielded the sabre would go crazy (with the exception of 1 guy).
The final owners of the weapons might have been long lost brothers(???)
This one, finally out of the way. So many years in the making, so many disappointments.
First of all, let me just say that I am like the most of you, I ignored S3 for my sanity's sake. While I was initially saddened by the fact that Sheren Tang had pulled out of the project, in hindsight I think she dodged a bullet with this one.
Out of the three parts written by Cheung Wah-Biu, I think this one is his weakest (or laziest) writing. So many references to No Regrets (identical lines, even), and the fact that he still chooses to use numbers in characters' names? Can't we all call Deng Gui Chan as "Deng Ye" instead of "7th Ye" - like come on, there ain't even a logical explanation to that. We all call Cheng Kau Mui as "Miss 9" because that's her name lol. And what in the world is "Chai 17"?! Obviously a spin from the iconic "Chai Kau".
When episode 1 came out, I almost dropped my tea when they mentioned "Wing Yip Bank", like I get you're trying to reinforce your mark as the creator of the Rosy Business franchise, but to take so many iconic lines from No Regrets - it really felt (in my opinion) like salt in the wound. The pacing of the story felt weird and the aesthetics of the set really put me off. I know it's shot in Hengdian, with a much proper set, but it's too neat - like the fonts on the shop banners and other places are clearly printed and not painted on. While TVB City has a much smaller and cheaper set, the aesthetics of S1 was much more on point compared to this one. It's like they wanted the viewers to know that this is a joint production and not good ol' TVB. Both S1 and S2 started off episode 1 with tension and excitement, but this one was calm and the tension builds slowly. A big difference from its predecessors. And having 17 and 7 sing Red Butterfly together - while SingKau never had that?! So unfair.
Wayne Lai. He did what he had to, some great performances here and there, but the vibe of the entire thing really ruined it for me.
Nancy Wu, gotta say she did what was expected of her, but not her strongest performance. A character like Deng require an actor with insane screen presence, and no doubt Sheren would absolutely nail it. But it is what it is.
Edwin Siu. Again with the multiple persona thingy. It's either TVB running out of ideas or Edwin just have a thing for this.
I just remember watching this show in the 90s. It was about a little girl who lived with her grandma and father. They were poor. The dad ends up getting robbed and killed on her bday. The grandma ends up getting amnesia. The little girl gets kidnapped and sold as a slave to this other family. Does this ring a bell to anyone?
I haven't seen his portfolio on SB and yet the image of his profile on mydramalist looks like a shot from SB. I was pretty puzzled as I thought Ron left TVB for SB as he starred in the Flying Tiger series. There's also Mission Run 2.0 which hasn't confirmed any casting, but I feel like it would feel a bit incomplete without Ron if Bosco was to be in it unless someone like Benjamin Yuen was his replacement.
I admit partially I'm writing this, because of how I thought he would be in Prism Breakers with Bosco.
So when Linda Chung was interviewing with Raymond Lam at his law office, she saw a family photo, and he said it's of his sister and nephew. His sister never actually appeared on screen. Not when their mother died, not even when he died.
Did I miss it? Or was he lying all this time, and it's actually his ex-wife and son? It's also never actually explained why he parted with his solicitor girlfriend Janet. Was it because he was two-timing again?
What websites are you guys using now that uploads TVB with English subtitles? TVBAnywhere does not upload everything and icdrama and dramacool seem to be down. Tried all other websites on the megathread with no luck. Thanks!

It was Benjamin Yuen 袁偉豪and Owen Cheung 張振朗 as the lead.
I remember there was rivalry between the ML and FL. They have a competition to see who is better at baseball and one of the trials involves racing while dragging a tire behind them on a rope. FL's tire gets stuck on a stump and she pulls so hard, her hand bleeds. Then, during the throwing contest, she wipes her blood off on her glove. She quits playing for a while, but then while walking past the field where other people were playing, a ball almost hits her in the face. However, she catches it just as it's about to hit her. I think she starts playing again at the end. I watched a lot of dramas as a kid and am having such a hard time finding them. Can someone please help?
I remember at the beginning, there are two girls who look exactly the same except one is rich and knows kung fu and the other one works in the palace. I remember the rich girl wore her hair curly (using scissors over a candle) and had a mole behind her ear which was the only way they could be differentiated. They bump into each other in town and switch places for fun, but the rich girl gets stuck insidr the palace. She's supposed to marry this guy who realized he was with the wrong girl when he realized she didn't have the mole behind her ear. I've been looking for this drama for a while. Please help!
Does anyone remember the show where a group of like 12 people lived in a house and each night someone got murdered? It was a really old show like in the 2000's. It was kinda like the clue game. One of the episodes had the dead victim hanging on a windmill but he was upside down because he looked at the playing card the wrong way.
I am just loving the show right now. I cannot stop myself from watching. First drop was 5 episodes and I ran through it all. Watch even during lunch break.
Today next 4 episodes came out and I watch till way past my bedtime.
Plot is nothing new or amazing but Tavia Yeung is very good. Raymond Lam's cousin was better than I expected (Did not watch much of her shows). Even the supporting character, most new to me were also good.
The pacing is probably the best. They do not beat around the bush or drag like so many TVB shows. It just keep moving and best of all, very little romance (Romance not really my thing).
So overall. I have not enjoyed a TVB show like this for a long time.
Edit : Wrote the above after 9 episode. When I reached 14th, it feels like we are taking a breather. It is like a roller coaster ride and from 15th we are climbing again.
I really like episode 17th especially the acting between Tavia and Rosina (learned her name) ! That 1 AI trick is also something new which I have not seen in CD drama !
Finished the show and yes I rate it higher than Modern Family and Queen of News. My reasons are
Thank you all for the fun discussion here. I cannot really type Mandarin hence I only discuss on reddit. These days I only watch maybe less than 5 HK shows per year. Now on to No returns which I will finished too.
anyone know what happen to come home love lo and behold ep 2389-2391 is missing on tvbanywherena ?
Just finished watching this, love to talk to people Abt this, it seemed rather controversial when it first came out.
Does anyone have any good tvb dramas to recommend that are available on YouTube? English subs preferable but not necessary.
Dramas I liked:
Or, basically any tvb dramas from 90s/00s with the famous actors from then like Jessica hsuan, bobby au yeung, Esther kwan, Marco ngai and others.
Can be any genre (eg action, comedy, drama) but would prefer to have some angsty romance, hurt/ comfort, or rescuing from dangerous situations.
Or, just your favourite drama from the 90s/00s (or more recent).
Thank you!
I recently found 太極 (The Master of Tai Chi) on YouTube. I am stunned I never seen it even though there's so much OG TVB stars from my childhood!
Raymond Lam, Myolie Wu, Kenneth Ma, Melissa Ng... Etc
Has anyone else watched it?
I was at my grandparents house the other day for dinner and I saw on tv this scary but also mysterious drama where it shows a woman struggling with work and keeping up her duties as a mother and wife. She brings in this nanny who seems very sweet and is taking of her baby and whatnot. But things turn sinister as the mother grows weary of the nanny, where the nanny is supposedly trying to replace her and there was this scary scene where the mother was trying to change the baby’s diapers, but got scared when the baby suddenly started having black eyes like a demon possessed him or something. Is this like an actual TVB horror drama or something cause I can’t find it anywhere unless I’m not looking hard enough.
