Heart of greed

My personal comment

Fuh… finally I have finish watching this 40 episode hk drama downloaded from the website…well this is my first time downloading a complete tv series from the internet… that feeling… chasing after one episode by one episode but the download rate was too slow and my telephone connection bill keeps on going……….such a hard time…….

Very hard for me as I keep on tacking on the drama…when there's a part that is very funny, I laugh noisily. Cannot bear the joke. When there's part of sadness, my tears dropped. When there's a part of touching scene, I felt touched too… the ringtone that used in this drama too… very funny…. Haha… I felt quite satisfied with the ending…. What to say… happy ending for all….

The family forgives all the bad things that sai kai has done to the family. They presented the 4 pieces of abalone to her as promised by their parents. Moses and Linda finally got together (this pair doesn’t seemed like other pair, kissing, hugging… they just grab each other’s hand and run and run.. under the rain,, beside the rainbow…. Good good….)

I would like to place my personal comment on the drama….

For such a long time I haven’t seen a truly heart-consumptions hk drama since golden faith and at the threshold of an era….

• Dak Dak Dei / Sai Bau He is very funny in the drama… his character before was not so funny, but this I think he has done many thing to carry the character of tak-tak-tei…. I like his love towards seung-joi-sum, loving a person not requires living beside her, but as long as she’s happy and you’ll be happy too. He can be considered as a filial son to the family as he is the eldest, yet he’s the un-sedual son of the family.

• Gilbert holds MBA. He looks good in his glasse. He has a very bright future, but he's addicted to people's wife. After passing so many hard step he finally able to convince his family towards his relationship with Jackie and Jackie, be able to release herself from her former cold-heart husband. He's very stylish in the drama and luckily at the final he still stands with tong’s family.

• Alfred is the prince among all his colleagues as he has a bright future in legal law, sometimes he is very stubborn and he's not that good as he has another affair with another woman. But finally he knew his mistakes. Although being regret for what he did, he wrote a diary to his girlfriend, hoping that she can forgive his wrong act. he really hurt Linda badly! But you'll learn to love him later. But finally they just remain as good friend. Alfred died in a car accident. Until that he hasn't receive any forgiveness from his girlfriend but his girlfriend has already forgave him…

• Seung Joi Sum and tak-tak-tei holds an eternity friendship. As she is the only filial daughter to the family, she has to work in the morning, attending night class for law in the night, and taking care of his amnesia father. She's ok in the drama.

• As for Sui Mak Mak, not much comment for her, as she’s just appear for a short while. But, I quite don’t like her being people’s third party, moreover she’s being the 3rd party of her good friend.

• At first I quite don't like Jackie, she’s having an affair with Gilbert b4 divorce, and although she strongly said that her husband was not good to her. She smokes while pregnant, she disobey people’s advice. But after her 1st miscarriage, I think she has matured a lot. Anything she does she will think of the family 1st. the only thing I hate is her materialistic family. So hypocrites. I hate them. So crazy for money, it’s like they’re selling their daughter! Luckily the wedding went well, although there were so many problems before that.

• Ling Lei is the 2nd most understanding person in the family. She didn’t married therefore she live with tong’s family. She is wise to handle the family business but at the same time she is always being attacked” by crazy sai-kai.

• Ling Hau/Dai Kai is the 1st most understanding person in the family. She likes to give proverbs to the family, which is a good thing. She’s wise too and able to differentiate between good and bad.• Dai Bau He is also funny in the drama. People said that he is “fau kua” – not reliable I guess. Yes, little bit. He respects his 1st wife and loves his 2nd wife.

• Francis/Sai Kai. At first I see her as the veteran singer, susanna kwan. As the drama proceeds, I see her as the crazy 2nd wife, sai kai. Yes she is bad in the drama but at the end when she cried pity, I felt sorry for her. I strongly dislikes her – gan fu (lover)-. How can he accept such a –fau kua- person?

• Tong Chi Foon doesn't have much chance to expose himself until the few final episodes. Yes he’s very in a dilemma to stand between his family and his crazy mother. Pity for him.

• Because Tong Chi Yan is the youngest daughter in the family, so she got the chance to appear more in the scenes. Her Cantonese need to be more improved (like Vivian yeo's cantonese)

• Uncle Bor - not much comment for this man. No stand. Hate him.

O.k. do watch next time!!
