Drive of Life thoughts

Well, I finally got to watch the prized "Drive of Life"! I tried watching it on Veoh, but it kept on pausing so I downloaded it. So far, I have up to episode 6 in Cantonese.

I must say, the theme video for the TVB version of the Drive is better (in my opinion) than the one CCTV had. (for once, TVB beats CCTV, haha) I especially enjoyed the part where Charmaine extends her arm out and this stream of light loops around her arm and passes her fingertips (she has a bony hand...), and then goes to Ray and he 'catches' it.

As for the beginning, I didn't like how they showed the 2007 scene. It tells us that the series will have a happy ending and who will end up together. Since I read the character synopsis, I knew who'd end up together, so now spoiler for me!

I'd have to say that I didn't enjoy Sheren's shouting scene when she found out that Michael had an affair. Too much overreacting! (It was like a Gigi Lai scene from WAB) I just like her calm. Her character is kind of freaky though. She has like TOTAL control over Man Shek. Then again, Man Shek is a useless wimp, but I do feel sorry for him, because he's stuck between the Wah's and the Wong's. Their daughter is useless. Period. (At least so far)



At first, I didn't really look forward to the scenes where it was pure mainland actors, but I found Feng Shao Feng's character, Wah Zhen Man. He looked so funny with those sunglasses! I really enjoyed this character.



Ray's character, Wah Zhen Pong, is really similar to his character, Ngoh Sui, in Yummy Yummy at first. They're both spoiled and have impossible dreams. At least he has a heart (He felt bad that Charmaine twisted her ankle for running over to him to get the contract signed on time).



Charmaine's character is...well, I don't know how to describe it. She's a really good business women, loves her mom a lot, but I feel sorry for her when her superior at her was feeling all over her back. (Urgh.)

One last thing. I made a banner, based on Wing Sau Fung!
Enjoy.
