Why aren’t current actors as charismatic or talented as the past?

In the 90s, there were so many talented stars like Gallen Lo, Felix Wong, Louis Koo, Sunny Chan, Bobby Au Yeung, Michael Tao, Jessica Hsuan, etc Nowadays, everyone is lacking talent or charm. Rosina and Sisley don’t have the skills or charm of Jessica and Kenix. Karl Ting and Kalok Chow are far below Louis and Gallen. Why are there no stars today?

What's everyone thought on Sinister Being 2?

It has been two years since the first one came out and i was excited when they announced they were gonna make a sequel.

But when i watched the first episode till the last one yesterday.... i think it's probably one of the worst sequels ever made by TVB.

Here's my few opinions (long post ahead)

  1. The Main Villain from the first series somehow is still alive and now he is imprisoned while having amnaesia. We keep trying to find out his true motives but of course being a 30 episodes drama, they will drag on and on about the Main Villain, showing a few minutes scene before ignoring him for the rest of each episodes until the finale. His story could've been wrapped up very quickly but nope, the writer decide to leave small breadcrumbs in every episodes just to make it feel ambiguous. It gets pretty tiresome following his story that leads to nowhere because other police cases would intervene. Moon Lau's character where she portrayed as the sister to the deceased wife of the Main Villain is pretty solid. She is just a comedic character that don't want to have anything to do with Main Villain, she just wants to deal with her own life. Seeing her constantly arguing with Main Villain is actually funny but like i said earlier about the small breadcrumbs, it gets annoying trying to piece together everything in the end. And when you do piece everything together in the end, it leads to another cliffhanger where the Main Villain jumped off the cliff and was presumably "dead" but then they showed a glimpse of him appearing at the end of the finale. So....is it him or is it a coincidence?

  2. The cops are practically useless. They are much useless in the sequel compared to the first one where over there, they were able to solve the cases but here....most were simply useless. There are some instances where the cops were conducting operation to solve cases but they cannot get anything done. During the gunfight especially the first case in the first three episodes, there were only few bad guys vs a big group of cops. Guess what? Most of the cops were gunned down easily and the lead character Sam Sir and Nick Sir also weren't able to stop the threats. All of them were outnumbered rather easily and considering that the bad guys were on the same level as the first series and the cops were able to deal with them more efficiently, it feels embarassing to watch the sequel where the cops failed to get the job done. Even funnier, they have to rely on some random civillains to finish the job. The female character from the first case managed to gunned down a bunch of baddies even if she never holds a gun before WTF. Professor Tong who is a lecturer at a college always go to the police station and somehow was able to solve the cases as well. This must be a joke by the writer.

  3. The police case is ridiculous. Of course in between the Main Villain's story, they have to add a bunch of filler plots that were not related to Main Villain at all. The first one is the one where the dad wants to step down from being the triad member, he wants to let the son take over but then he stole the important thing and made his son look like a crazy guy, the son would then go around beating everyone up including his gang rival, his friends and even an undercover cop. That guy is insane and eventually he was caught by the cops, the dad would went on to live his normal peaceful life.

Then there's this case where the prisoner escaped from prison 30 years ago. But somehow, he is still able to remember the location of the item in the same exact position that he buried 30 years later.....how was that even possible?? I can barely remember the things that i kept for 5 years but this man can remember everything for so long.

And of course, the last one about the Main Villain. He gets beaten up by a prisoner, gets transported onto an ambulance but then halfway to the hospital, the driver ran into a dog, they crashed and Main Villain was able to get up, unlock his handcuffs and then run freely on the streets while wearing the prisoner outfit. Did no one seriously notices him??? And then of course, somehow managed to sneak into the hotel and find Moon Lau. They both ran away and hid inside a secret bunker and then Main Villain somehow able to drive a taxi in broad daylight....WTF?

So yeah, that is just some of my critics on the sequel. While the first one is good, the sequel is anything but. TVB has a track record of fumbling most of the sequels on their existing series. I will never forget being utterly mad at how bad Brothers Keeper 2 was.

Helping finding name of a drama from the 90's

It takes place in Shanghai in the 40's or 50's similar to The Bund. One of the main characters is an old rich guy whose ex girlfriend left him for a guy in a wheelchair. The old rich guy was very bitter and made comments like she was a gold digger who hated that he was poor before and how the handicap boyfriend couldn't satisfy her. She said that if she was a gold digger she wouldn't have dated the old rich guy when he was poor and even accepted his cheap ring. I think the drama was either mid or late 90's. Does anyone know the title of the series?

Rosina Lam and Ruco Chan have no chemistry

I don't know why TVB keeps trying to make this pairing happen. They had no chemistry in Burning Hands. It's funny how she was so obsessed with him in that series when she had more chemistry with her husband who she cheated on. Then they are so boring in Sinister Beings 1 & 2. Ruco has more chemistry with that hacker lady he slept with. I blame fans who kept hating on the hacker lady thus TVB keep forcing Roco or whatever ship name is called.

LF: Costume Drama Woman Dressed as Man

I'm looking for a TVB drama but my memories of it are vague. It's a costume drama from ancient China times.

The main character is biologically a woman but she dresses as a man because I think her brother died (or may be missing???) and she needed to inherit the family estate or else relatives will take it and she will be thrown into the streets or married off? I think her brother's wife is in on the secret and acts along or maybe she fake married a friend??? I don't quite remember. I could be completely off and this other woman is a maid and maybe there are other family members (probably aunts) who aren't in on the secret and is trying to get the main character to marry a woman in order to have a heir but the main character keeps avoiding it since her secret will be revealed?

I think at one point the main character goes outside as a woman and someone falls in love with her and follows her to her house but can't find her and only sees the main character dressed as a male. The man grows suspicious and eventually finds out the secret.

I'm sorry my memory is so vague that there's contracting storylines up there but it was a long time ago. It's also possible this wasn't the main story of the show, it was like a backstory of a random character.

The actress for the main character is very androgenous and may be described as more masculine than feminine.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't like Charmaine Sheh and Raymond Lam pairing

They're fine individually but the ship is very overrated. I don't get the hype at all. I always thought she looked way too old for him. She looks like his older sister than girlfriend. Also I don't see much chemistry between them. Charmaine has more chemistry with older/mature actors like Gallen Lo/Sunny Chan/Julian Cheung. Raymond Looks best with the actresses of his generation like Tavia/Michelle/Linda, etc.

Why don't TVB push younger actors anymore?

I know there is Karl Ting, Kalok Chow and Tiffany Lau but for the most part, TVB is not pushing young TVB actors into lead roles anymore. Back in the 90's and early 2000's, you had Louis Koo-Raymond Lam-Ron Ng-Sammul Chan-Bosco Wong who all had lead roles in their early 20's. They are barely starting to push Moon Lau who is still doing supporting roles in her mid 30's. Jonathan Cheung is still doing supporting roles in his 40's. I love veterans like Roger Kwok and Wayne Lai but they should push younger actors.

Is Prism Breakers Mission Run's sequel?

I feel that both have similar themes of friendship and similar villains of evil businessmen who keep escaping justice. Not to also mention the ICAC and police conflict too.

I was hoping to hear about Mission Run 2.0 with hopefully Ron and Bosco returning with Benjamin Yuen added to Mission Run 2.0, but so far, nothing.

Airport Diary 2?

Does anyone know if there will be Airport Diary 2? I know budget seems pretty tight to film at an airport so it was finished at 10 episodes, but there's still a lot left in the plot that was yet to be developed, such as 安仔 and Chloe. Really bummed there's so little episodes miss them already after like 1 day of finishing(yes I'm a late watcher I just found it on mytvsuper).

Sinister Being II

Watching episode 1 and found it very interesting during the part of ambushed by terrorists. All the law enforcement vehicles look like China brand and BMW where the target was riding got blown up. I like the actor that plays Nick Sir very much.

Old hk or Chinese drama about a girl who has a family of crazy people. Like her mom went crazy after her dad’s death. Her younger brother is also crazy. But then she meets a doctor or psychiatrist who cares for her family. She has a best friend from a rich family.

That friend from the rich family dad used to love the main girl mom. The best friend met the doctor guy and likes him. Meanwhile the girl like the doctor guy but can’t say anything because her friend like him. The friend has a brother and he loves the girl. Eventually she falls for him and they plan to get married but his mom doesn’t like the girl and is mean to her when she marry in the family. The reason is because her husband first love was the girl’s mother and she was afraid if they have a kid that kid would become crazy too. So during their marriage she forced her to take contraception pills but the girl want a baby

Looking for a HK drama show scene

I'm looking for the show where the scene is a couple goes car shopping, when one of the couple picks a small car while the other one picks a mini van. The girl/guy (i forgot which one) freaks out saying, how many kids do you want that you need a mini van!

I watched it on TVB probably a decade or more ago and i cant find it or even the actor names. It was an iconic joke for a while.

Has anyone watched 血荐轩辕 Blade Heart?

I watched an edit of Yang Xue 杨雪 in it (featuring her role as Si Ma Pin Ting 司马聘婷) on Bilibili and I am intrigued. Douban reviews are 6.8, I was wondering if it's worth a watch.

If anyone is curious, this is the edit (they used footage of a dubbed version) -【国服第一恶女,她甚至没有恋爱脑】 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ix421C7ar/

Hello

Does anyone know the name of this song? Google audio search doesn't return any results, and it's not in the playlist of songs that was used in this show.
