    But power often leads to blindness. Pak-yin becomes ruthless and inconsiderate of others, leading to his wife Rebecca Tsang Bo-lam (Maggie Shiu 邵美琪), who had quietly supported him through the years, to grow more distant. She realizes that they no longer share the same values, and is heartbroken.

    During this time, she grows closer to Patrick Lui Wing-hang (Ben Wong 黃智賢), who opens up a window in her inner world. Patrick is also a solicitor, but he is neither as famous nor as abled as her husband. Despite these setbacks, Rebecca falls in love with Patrick, who seems to be the only person who can fulfill her troubled heart. She makes the executive decision to leave her husband, but is suddenly attacked by a mysterious man. She suspects that Pak-yin had hired someone to attack her. Pak-yin’s life is at an impasse once again.

    Finally realizing his wrongdoings, Pak-yin decides to change for the better. But this time, he’s changing while carrying a heart of gold.

    1) Roxanne was adorable I agree. Her biggest role yet? I'm happy for her :) Hope to see her in more significant supporting roles! Her personality was cute in this one too
    2) The lil brother (Fred) is so inconsistant. Wasn't he in K4 with Cilla in that Yes Sir Sorry Sir? :kelefe: He never took off still always plays KLF, this is also his biggest role?
    3) I didn't watch Executioner but Maggie was good in this. I wonder why she's not in more dramas.
    4) Drama didn't have many humor scene but the scene where Ben & Moses were talking at the same time was (Y)
    5) Overall drama wasn't bad. It was kinda boring but I think in some aspect I liked it more then Presumed Accident

    Onto the House of Spirits, can't wait until I catch up to Fist Within 4 Walls
     
  13. Jeff HOS aired before this why you watch this first? :boblook:

    I'm streaming it online and the website has this series before House of Spirits.. maybe cause House of Spirits was longer (last updated) so the got pushed to the front.

    Is HoS good?
     
  15. of course Fist, HoS, and Blue Veins best ones this year :thumbsup2:

    I would put it in that order too :thinking:

    Speed of Life would be one of them just because of the humor in it, BV concept was good, but it lacked a solid plot, I actually enjoyed Presumed Accidents a bit more because the plot was more solid then BV. I haven't seen HOS or Fist yet though but from what I've been reading those should be better then all 3 haha.

    I actually forget to mention Candy Chang. She had so much potential after On Call but she got into a drug scandal or something and she never took off.

    It was nice to see her again
