We absolutely agree - Gigi is one of the brightest newcomers with the most potential in our minds. We are looking forward to see her grow and achieve more milestones with her music. Have you also heard she was filming a new drama with Kyle Lee? We are pretty excited to see her in more dramas!<br /><br />- CeeJayCeeJayhttps://ceejays-entertainment.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758666836317755286.post-36742761292912390262024-01-26T08:48:26.222-07:002024-01-26T08:48:26.222-07:00Hello, for the newcomer award, think Gigi is well-...Hello, for the newcomer award, think Gigi is well-deserving though. Indeed, she didn't act as much and host as much but the award wasn't best newcomer actress, best newcomer host. It was just best newcomer. Gigi has been singing many tvb theme songs and subtheme songs really well, her vocals her emotions. Not just crystal clear, she sang 恋爱这命题 beautifully. Well-deserving if you see it as best newcomer (singer).

But I am a bit interested in 狀王之王, 法言人 and 隱門 so I might give them a try. <br />I do wish they’d base another series off some Hong Kong myths like they did in the Exorcist’s Meter, it’s very interesting and works really well if they do it right.

It really irked us in the last 2 episode when Yu Sir was always the first to find and approach Thena. Why didn't he record her confessing her crime and bring along backup? The whole thing trying to tie in the previous clown cases did seem kind of forced and the fact it was Yu Sir's ex was even more random. We weren't thrilled with the fact they brought back the clown for the ending again because this idea should be finished with already.<br /><br />Since you only watched 2 TVB dramas this year, are you interested in watching any of the ones coming out in 2023?<br />CeeJayhttps://ceejays-entertainment.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758666836317755286.post-75628394514753033242023-01-02T05:55:37.075-07:002023-01-02T05:55:37.075-07:00(continued from previous comment) About the final ...(continued from previous comment) About the final two cases, (the mafia one and the clown one) the mafia one was a bit boring but watchable? I liked how Matthew Ko immediately found them out and was like “yo I know you killed that dude. Now work for me or else”, it was very funny. But we had to wait for a few more episodes for our MCs to figure that out :/. There was much talk about the clown case ending in FH4 being adapted in FH5 and by the end of the 28th episode, I had thought they weren’t going to do it. (Because let’s be honest since when has TVB actually did a cliffhanger that was followed up on) However, they immediately turned it around in episode 29, where they threw in one of the most out of nowhere twists in the show. That a previously irrelevant ex(?) of Bosco’s was sort of behind the recent string of murders, that she killed Matthew Ko and the very underwhelming resolution to the clown case through a flashback. They couldn’t have at least given an actual case to it :/? And also, the actual resolution to the clown case was anticlimactic, it turns out one clown was bullied by the other clowns and killed them in revenge. And then Thena kidnaps Venus or something and it all gets very cheesy. And then the ending. The ending pissed me off so much I regret resuming the show from when I first stopped watching. Why did Bosco confront her and not take any sort of precautions against her? He knows she’s dangerous. The whole thing feels like a cliffhanger made for the sake of a cliffhanger. And I don’t trust TVB to resolve it in a satisfying way in the next series if they even do. And I hope there’s no Forensic Heroes 6, TVB, pls just put it out of its misery.<br />Some minor things: <br />-I actually liked the colleague dynamic between Bosco Jacky and Benjamin, the first two especially but I’m sad we don’t get to see more of it (because of the romance subplots). <br />-Why are people casually barging into the medical examiner’s office especially when there’s an autopsy going on like it’s a street market?<br />-(this was really prevalent in FH4 though less in FH5 but still present) Why do culprits just confess to their crimes for no reason? Thena did it, the girl in the first case did it (the others sort of had a reason or I just forgot them), it just took away the suspense and thrill of finally catching the criminal. <br /><br />(Sorry for any errors in advance, I did not proofread this rant)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758666836317755286.post-72364720744279608262023-01-02T05:55:05.769-07:002023-01-02T05:55:05.769-07:00Out of all the dramas this year, I’ve only watched...Out of all the dramas this year, I’ve only watched Flying Tiger 3 and FH5 but I’ve heard some good reviews on I’ve Got The Power so I might give that a try if I have time. <br /><br />Flying Tiger 3 was a while ago so I don’t rmb a lot but I liked the second one better because of the better character writing. I personally didn’t like the terrorist group they were chasing in the first half, but the action was way better then. It then shifted focus to another secret terrorist organisation that felt too complicated for its own good. I did like that it felt more grounded than FT2 in the first half but it kinda went off especially near the end. <br /><br />Forensic Heroes 5 is a show that I swore to myself not to watch after the mess that was Forensic Heroes 4 but I did give the first episode a try and surprisingly liked it. So I kept watching lol. The first few cases were honestly ok, they weren’t “great” but they were engaging. I agree that some cases should’ve been cut because they were frankly unnecessary and confusing, like the one in episode 16 (probably? I looked it up). There’s been a lot of talk around the 18 layers of hell storyline (or so I heard) but I did not really like how the case played out, though the repercussions from that case were interesting to watch. I liked the concept of it though. The live action RP case was probably my favourite because of how entertaining and ridiculous it was, the twist was predictable but everyone killed it. <br />In terms of characters… where do I begin. Bosco and Jacky were probably the better characters among the main cast. Jacky had an interesting storyline and less romance and Bosco was mainly carried by the acting lol. I liked Bosco’s storyline earlier in the series where his subordinate died and he had to deal with it (it’s like a departure from his usual demeanour and shows some depth even tho it was very typical) and the one where he met the old retired forensic guy (it was just entertaining) but other than that, he didn’t really have many good storylines. Venus Wong was alright but slightly annoying but that’s just the character. Idk what’s going on with the pseudo love interest dude for Jacky but I did not sense any romance between them and they were more like close friends. Now onto the two problematic ones: Benjamin and Sisley. Benjamin was fine up until he and Sisley got together. Then the most infuriating and annoying romantic storyline happened and at that point I just stopped watching the drama for a week. First, Sisley was already a bit annoying in the same way as Venus and then they put together this nonsense. Benjamin was investigating his parents’ murder and then Sisley finds out her dad did it and is understandably horrified but instead of telling him about it, she gets guilt tripped by her mom. Then she later begs Benjamin not to arrest him and finds a way to blame him for his parents causing the accident that disabled her mom(? I’m not too sure about the details) and gives him the silent treatment. I’m sure murdering someone’s parents is the same as causing a car accident. It doesn’t make any sense. And those two shouldn’t even be together with how much drama and history there is between them. The mom is ultimately the worst character for all her annoying crying and manipulating.

Even at the Tung Wah Charity Show this past weekend, not all season 1 contestants showed up to perform, and some of them are still waiting for their individual song releases like Felix and Venus. While XiX might be more synchronized with group dancing currently, you could see the individual strengths of After Class when they sang their medley, and each of them radiates star power. We hope their new MV for "Not Givin' Up" will be of high quality to not waste their talents.<br /><br />Hope to hear from you next time in our other posts!<br /><br />- CeeJay<br /><br />CeeJayhttps://ceejays-entertainment.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758666836317755286.post-39605082221368535382022-11-26T22:04:33.404-07:002022-11-26T22:04:33.404-07:00Just out of curiosity, will you review forensic he...Just out of curiosity, will you review forensic heroes v after it finishes releasing in China?

I r...Thanks for adding your thoughts on the finale. I really enjoy reading all of your commentary!<br /><br />I had the same thoughts on the finale that it was pretty underwhelming as well. The audience votes were more for votes based on last week's performance than the finale performances since that's when voting had opened, and I think that's what contributed to Janees having the highest votes there instead of based on her finale performances. <br /><br />To me, it seems like the judges' favorites were XIX because I rarely hear any negative comments from them on their performances. Their enunciation needs work (I'm convinced that they avoided singing in Cantonese for this reason) and their dance performances all tend to be the same after all these weeks. I think they were put together when they saw the popularity of After Class (Gigi, Chantel, Yumi, and Windy) but that's because they have a lot of fans individually and they each have their own strengths. I feel like I'm just not as impressed with them as the judges were.<br /><br />Jasmine has a sweet voice but it seems like a lot of her popularity was based on her very first performance (before the live shows) because she was able to sing a key higher. She didn't really take any chances, but that's my main criticism of those in the top 5. They just all tried to play it too safe. I could ignore her breathing, other than in her first single. I don't know what Eric and Hanjin were thinking with trying to showcase her vacuum-sounding breathing because it was so distracting!<br /><br />Janees probably had one of the worst performances with Bad Boy. She is just not good with those type of songs, especially since she doesn't seem to know how to move/dance in fast songs. Sabrina probably had the best performance but because of how the audience voting turned out, she couldn't make it to the final. <br /><br />Overall, there were parts I did enjoy in season 2 (Angela, Tim, Sean) but I'm not surprised that this season does not seem as popular as the first season. I think there were too many contestants to start out with and too many group performances so it made it harder to connect with the contestants. Too many safe performances, and I think that was also due to them having mentors and them having favorites. It'll be interesting to see who they decide to promote. I can already see that they like the top 3 but it was interesting that the season 1 contestants were part of the TVB anniversary but not the season 2 contestants.

I do want to say that Angela probably did end up being the one I ended up rooting for and it sucks that she couldn't make it to the final 5. It just felt like her steady improvements deserved to be rewarded, while others were making it through by being safe or being the mentor's favorites. I also want to note that Maggie has greatly improved throughout the whole process but her song choices were pretty dull. I wonder if this is where having a different mentor would have helped since I'm not sure if Eman chose these songs?ACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758666836317755286.post-31861711583211900392022-10-03T01:57:25.879-06:002022-10-03T01:57:25.879-06:00Let's not kid ourselves.

But she's of legal age in HK, fluent in Cantonese, and she's very pretty with a huge online following so it's a no brainer for TVB to want to lock her into a long term contract. <br /><br />I really dislike how TVB used the online popular vote and pairing the men with specific competitors that will guarantee to eliminate them. I honestly think if Zayden went up against any of the men, he would have made the final five. But the male competitors will always get the short straw in this competition due to the online voting aspect. Archie got screwed last year and so did Zayden this year.<br /><br />Overall, I found Season 2 disappointing compared to Season 1. The extended cast of Season 2 taking up more screen time, the lack of group/paired performances and rehearsals to see the dynamics between the team, the rehash of same songs (Zayden could've sang a different Hins Cheung song, Kiele singing If I Ain't Got You again) just made the show boring.<br /><br />The lack of variety of songs by each singer is also a factor in this season not living up to Season 1 on the entertainment factor. Compared to season 1 where Gigi, Archie, Yumi, and even Rock showed range with their repertoire (to various success), here we see Sean only raps, Jasmine only sings ballads from male singers, Pamela can only sing in an airy soft voice, XiX only does Kpop/dance numbers, etc. The judges comments are also more boring compared to Season 1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758666836317755286.post-47331349979814203972022-09-20T12:23:20.309-06:002022-09-20T12:23:20.309-06:00Yes, the show was really slow because the 1st two ...Yes, the show was really slow because the 1st two episodes was not part of competing. After 8 episodes which is more than half the show, we only heard 2 solos from each contestant. As a result, we thought we didn't really get to know the students as well and see their growth as we did in SA1. We think that likely, different students will split the 3 awards this year unlike Gigi who won them all last year.

Lol. 2 episodes for the top 5 and then the finale? My original theory was they were going to compete against the top 5. I recently watched The Voice season 3 (where Mag Lam won) and it was actually the first time Gin Lee performed in Hong Kong! They had people come in and compete against the contestants. If they win, they get to stay. Lose the match and they get into the bottom.

Of those left, I still don't really have a favorite. I've liked some of Maggie's performance but it's not like I'm rooting for her to win. Angela is the most improved. Janees, Pam, and Zayden are good singers but I find them kinda boring and lacking star quality. I think they should have eliminated Sabrina because she really seems too young and is not able to handle the pressure. I also wonder if the reason I'm not attached to anyone is because I feel like the judges have their favorites so it doesn't really matter of each week's individual performances. I'm still waiting for a performance to blow me away. Maybe that will happen when they finally all go back to a solo song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
