Review:
The whole series focus mainly on Kate’s revenge plot (she
thought Bosco is responsible for her dad’s death or suicide.
Overall:
The plot and script = 2/5 – Bad. The Good part is how
it incorporates some hot financial topics, such as virtual currency and
corporate governance structures. It’s current & also give us a look at what’s
happening in the financial world. However it could be difficult to follow for
the everyday viewer meaning the normal “housewife”- that ‘s probably why it
didn’t do well in HKG. What saves the show is the good acting from Bosco, Nancy
& Elena.
The Bad: How can a very smart calculative man like Bosco fall
so hopelessly in love with a person like Kate. How can someone who’s like that,
give up everything for her , who’s all out to get him? It don’t make sense. A
super smart person would probably have cut lost, even if he loves her. He would
understand where she’s coming from- revenge & all, but he won’t be ruined
by her revenge! Also no one will be willing to go to jail. He don’t have to, he
has all the means to avoid it but he didn’t, because in the story he wanted to
come clean, that’s just not realistic. It’s more like being educational, but
that’s not how the real world operates. Rich man don’t & wont want to go to
jail- so easily.
The whole “look” of the series is odd =2.5/5. Starting from
Bosco’s wardrobe- shorts with rainbow coloured jackets showing off his skinny
legs. And at times no socks. Kate’s super tight office shirts not flattering
either- looks as if they were too small for her. When she’s not in those, she’s
usually in checked shirts & pants,
come on, she’s the star, I do expect something better. When Sharon Chan was in
CCB her costume & hair-do, was
great- but the make-over evil look is really bad. The hair all combed back aged
her for like 10 years. The small short dresses not pretty either, & why
must it be very short dresses? Only Nancy Wu’s clothes seems appropriate.
As for the actual acting:
Bosco = 4/5 – Good acting, Bosco is especially good,
portraying both good, smug & ruthless at times. But minus major points for
the shorts/jackets and falling for Kate!!
Nancy = 5/5 – Nancy is good as usual. Subtle & natural.
Well done.
Kate = 1/5 – Kate should stop looking so strange , was it
blank or daze I cant decided. She should close her mouth & wear better
fitting clothes & have more natural flowing hair.
Sharon = 2.5/5 – Looks great as madam & look strange as
Villian. Should act more natural & subtle.
Ben = 2.5/5 – Miscasted, but he does have some cute moments
with both of his love interests.
Elena = 4/5 – Always
a pleasure to see her. They should develop her r/s with Ben further.
Toby and MC Jin = 3.5/5 – They inject some fun though did
nothing much for the plot. Anyway, prefer to see them than KateJ
MC Jin’s sister & her love interest: I love these 2,
very funny !
Gloria Tang: As Bosco’s sister- I’m sure she’s brand new, so not good BUT she’ll
probably improve in time. Look out for herJ
