I ♥ TVB Dramas

Love the police, lawyer and period dramas by TVB! :) These are the ones I've watched recently:

1. 法证先锋III/ Forensic Heroes III (HK)

Episodes: 30
Genre: Police, Forensic
Casts: Wayne Lai, Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, Kate Tsui, Ron Ng, Aimee Chan, Edwin Siu, Nancy Wu, Ruco Chan
Synopsis: Senior Forensic Chemist Jack "Pro Sir" Po (Wayne Lai) is the head of the Forensic Department and is skilled at analysing criminal psychology. He has a unique view on human nature and is familiar with the structure of various firearms. Pro Sir works closely with Senior Pathologist Mandy Chung (Maggie Cheung Ho-yee) in a wide range of fields including psychology, anthropology, criminology and forensic science.
CID Senior Inspector Ada Ling (Kate Tsui) and Sergeant "Wind" Lee Chin-fung (Ron Ng) work together cracking many murder cases. Their relationship goes from good friends 'brothers' to a pair of lovers.
With a backbone of 12 cases, the forensic scientists, forensic doctors and the police all work together to accommodate each other to solve these cases. The perspective in this third installment is much wider than the previous two seasons with a legal standpoint in addition to the forensics.
Review: Excellent show! I've been following the whole series faithfully, it never disappoints although the casts this season has changed! ♥ Love!


2. 真相/ The Other Truth (HK)

Episodes: 25
Genre: Lawyer
Casts: Tavia Yeung, Raymond Wong, Ruco Chan, Louis Yuen, Natalie Tong, Lai Lok-yi
Synopsis: Does every verdict reveal the truth? Watch the court room drama unfold as a group of very individual attorneys are brought together in complex legal proceedings and each lawyer reveals their own story.
Barrister Keith Lau's (Ruco Chan) ambition knows no limits. He will do everything he can in order to win a case, even if it means putting himself at risk.
His good friend Wallace Cheuk (Raymond Wong) runs a law firm. Although Wallace is a qualified barrister, he has no court experience, until Mavis Hong (Tavia Yeung) joins his firm. Thereafter, Wallace's debut meets with loud acclaim.
Their good friend James Wai (Louis Yuen) is a down-on-his-luck lawyer who is financially dependent on his mother: but when a thorny case comes his way, it looks as if his luck has finally changed.
Review: A slightly different lawyer show, with many cases (some really exciting) and dedicated lawyers who went all their way to find the truth. Worth the watch. It's speculated that there will be a second season released in 2012, I'm waiting for it!


3. 紫禁驚雷/ The Life and Times of a Sentinel (HK)

Episodes: 25
Genre: Historical Drama
Casts: Steven Ma, Kenneth Ma, Sunny Chan, Power Chan, Selena Li, Natalie Tong, Elaine Yiu, Evergreen Mak, Ching Hor-wai
Synopsis: The sudden death of the young Shun-chi Emperor (Shunzhi) shocked the whole empire. The second prince Fuk-tsuen, was originally the successor for the throne, but Empress Dowager Hao-chong (Xiaozhuang) changed the successor to the third prince Yuen-yip, who subsequently becomes the Hong-hei Emperor (Kangxi). Angry with this, Fuk-tsuen dispatchs a spy, Nip Dor-po, and instructs him to gain Hong-hei's trust.
Review: Now watching. This seems like a man's show cos it features two men friendship and fuel...


4. 天與地/ When Heaven Burns (HK)

Episodes: 30
Genre: Modern Drama
Casts: Bowie Lam, Moses Chan, Kenny Wong, Charmaine Sheh, Maggie Shiu, Elaine Jin
Synopsis: In their youth Joe (Bowie Lam), Angus (Moses Chan), Ronnie (Kenny Wong) and Ka Ming are good friends and band mates. During a mountaineering trip, the four are stranded on a snow bound mountain and out of desperation Ka Ming is killed and eaten by the other three. This event has a traumatic effect on them, their friendship, and their friendship with Yan (Charmaine Sheh), Ka Ming's girl friend, leading the previously close group to go their separate ways. And the story continues from there...
Review: Now watching Episode 3. Not as exciting as I thought it will be. Maybe 好戏在后头?
