I give it a score of 8 so far..watched ep 5. It was sad. I really didn't think his dad would jump. Caught me by surprised and also made me cry. =(
it was definaly surprising because that actor (his dad) was very popular amongst the tvb fans..and also it was quite early for such a death -_-
its actually pretty good haha i give it a 7 though. I didn't expect they dad to die so early especially since I am so use to him being there the whole time in older series. I also did not expect Kenneth's character to die.
I like this series alot so far, as far as rating can't rate it till the end since the ending ususally kill the plot. I like the songs on the series can't wait to fins the soundtrack!!
Wait, howcome everyone is rating the series (especially since the series just started, per se) whilst the topic is "Was Steven's father worth dieing?!"? To start off: what's so surprising about the father's death? I certainly believed that it was the reasonable approach during his overly stressful situation, as I even said to myself (while watching the series) "damn, I would've probably killed myself if I was him." I mean, c'mon, his wife moved elsewhere and "went back to hern ha" (at least that's what he believed) because she got pissed off at him for being so pathetic, his stepdaughter is telling him that he'd be better off dead and that her mom's biggest mistake was marrying him, his own son is pissed at him and thinks he's a liar, he caused all his son's co-workers to know that he owes people a shitload of money, everyone thinks he's useless and to top that off, loansharks are spying on his daughter and molesting her because he owe them money. He fucked up once and his son helps him return the owed money, but he then fucks up again, in an attempt to return the money he owes to his son. He lost everything, including the intangible (i.e. trust, love, capacity, hope, virtue of being a man etc.). He's supposed to be the "man of the house" -- yet, he had his own son return his owed money for him. His role of being a "man" has vanished. He's a nobody now. Next, he has a stupidass friend who had the nerve to put the newspaper containing the "horse racing numbers" in his groceries, just to please the wife when she sees it. It wasn't the father's fault that the newspaper was placed in the grocery -- he wanted to gain everyone's trust by not gambling, yet, god wasn't on his side for that paper to have slipped in. His will to move on has died at this point and everyone gawks at him with disbelief. Everyone despises him even more for something he honestly didn't do because he lost their trust by fucking up twice. How much agony must he be going through with all this happening? Indeed enough to get him to leap over the edge of that building onto the ground 300 stories below. It's hopeless. There's no turning back. It was reasonably foreseeable.
^ actor wise... it's a total blow to the series... the guy that plays his dad is very popular and is great actor...very hilarious,i'll admit it ... after he died i stopped watching -lol people were suprised because it was too early for such a actor of his calibre to die....but i guess this strengthens steven ma's character in this series.
they have the characters dying off already. pretty good series but looks like its going to a short one.
lol, it is a short one. 25 episode, so this series is very fast. Thats why people doesnt want to miss any chapter. I mean, even kenneth died too!!! lol.... sheesh. This series is very unpredictable, exciting XD
I quite like this series......was Steve's father worth dying......well, i would say yes.....seeing he gambled his life away, he deserved it.
his dad was not worth dieing, i mean, steven already got the gov't lawyer job, so he's gonna get a pay raise....plus his dad is a coward, he should have at least find some work to do to pay off the debt, he didnt think about his family's feelings... they are one family and they are supposed to stick together...
