He received a sms from his sis explaining that the professional
had made a mistake with the position of the portal, it’s abt 15 miles away. And
the next opening could be in 200 years time! She reminded him not to mess with
history due to the buttery fly effect. He was very disappointed & sad!
Meanwhile the butler told Lau Bei & gang what he saw.
Hon added spices & tells them what Shun did to the reports & abt the
things he stole. Everyone was disgusted, Z was worried. Both Kan & Song Yau
were worried sick.
Back to Shun & as if he has not done enough, he tried to
sell Fan Kan’s place! He tried to adapt to the surroundings now that he’s stuck
in the past but he’s not doing well at all. He wrote to Kan for help! Kan &
Song Yau came with food & money. Unfortunately Hon followed them & they
arrested Shun.
What happened next was too much to watched…. I’m sure if he were to apologise & made
some excuse, he would be forgiven with a light punishment as they truly likes
him & he did some good before. But he did not, he refuse to admit any
mistake & went on to challenge everything with a very twisted logic, asking
for evidence & eventually even
shouted at Lau Bei …”Seik Park Kung” !!!!! Since everyone already associated Seik Park Pour to the villain Lady Choi, Seik Park Kung by default is
the male version!!! Everyone is shocked.
Lau Bei orders Shun to be slapped but Shun fainted & was sent to prison. They finally
decide to imprisoned him for 1 year. I
was thinking… the things he did & said is warrant a death sentenced in
those ancient times!
Song Yau seeks the help from Lau Bei’s wives & they
agreed. They warned him, from now on he has to treat her well & he agreed!
He’s now demoted to servant status. He tried to avoid Song Yau & that
confuses her! Poor girl. Once a slacker always a slacker, he prefers to hide in
the store room to sleep most of the time.
Then Hon and his assistant came in secretly, to discuss about Lau Bei’s
intention to combine 2 advisors’ teams into one. Hon decided to kill Z, &
since they have evidence of Shun’s hatred for Z in writing, they can frame Shun
for the murder.!!!! Shun then went to Hon & tell him he wanted to join forces
to kill Z!hmmmm… something is up…….. Hon
decided to call off his Assassin & wait for Shun to murder Z so as not to
complicate things.
THoughts: Actually this whole
part about Hon & his plan is quite funny & interesting. This guy acting
Hon is really good. AS for Shun, he is such a jerk for misleading Song Yau , for not
respecting lau Bei & gang who has been really nice to him. I feel Kenneth
Ma overacted most of the time here, it’s becoming hard to watch. It’s also hard
to imagine for all that he has done & the disrespect he has shown, he’s not
dead by now!
Shun refuse to admit wrong doing, refuse to take responsibility & is rude to all his superiors, that clearly deserves very severe punishment at those times. How about the looting, the defacing of impt documents. This character is such a jerk! It's a difficult role but I feel Kenneth didnt do it that well.
ReplyDeleteRaymond Lam seems like he's on the sidelines of the whole show. His performance dont stand out at all. Such a pity!
The only interesting acting & charcaters are that of Fan Kan as everyone has pointed out & the vetern who played Advisor Hon. Very well done both!
Agree... I think they were trying to exaggerate the jerk effect in the beginning so that viewers can "see" how he can change later. But there's a fine line.... you just cant afford to have people dislike the main character too much, or it'll lose the effect later because everyone is too annoyed by him already!
DeleteRight I cant stand the silly loud act of Kenneth. It's getting real tiring! We're talking about the ancient times here, where the master or lord, can actually order for one to be beheaded anytime. He should have adjusted by now. How that that justify the way he acted? as if he's at home screaming at his own dad! Dont make sense to me.
ReplyDeleteAgree, that's bad acting on his part, seriously one dont have to scream.... This insubordination is major. The whole scene should be tone down serveral notches to make it more real. He's a modern man with bad manners but the rest are ancient people with all kinds of rules & regulations- they shouldnt be able to "take'' tis level of nonsense!
DeleteI also find the whole set lack glamour. The war scenes were so lacking in "people" the CGI effects were not so good.... Looks more like a hurried job than one that's being thought out well!
ReplyDeleteI like the song.
