Anything bothering you about this series?


My short list:

- Linda Chung.. I know she's improved immensely but I still can't get over the fact that she's leading over BOTH Tavia and Yoyo..

- The ridiculous love triangles/ rectangles.. Is this the only way TVB knows how to progress a storyline?!?!? I was okay with Linda-Raymond-Yoyo.. but now it's supposed to be Linda-Raymond-Yoyo AND Tracy Ip?? And there's also Tracy Ip-Moses-Linda.. C'mon TVB!!

I agree that Linda has improved but not enough to lead Yoyo and Tavia.

I want to see Heart but at the same time I am discouraged in seeing Heart. Because of Linda. I just can't believe how horribly TVB is promoting her. I see her in ever TVB series lately. Linda here, Linda there. Gosh. *shakes head* And to add to that, she isn't even that much of a superb actress. I really don't know why she is getting a bigger role than Tavia and Yoyo.

I can't wait to watch this series but I agree with everyone that Linda leading over Yoyo and Tavia is not that ideal... I think Linda did improve in her acting but TVB should not promote her like crazy.. They should have equal opportunities for everyone

I totally agree with you guys on TVB putting Linda is the leading role over Tavia. To me Tavia is suppose to be equal to Linda since her storyline is more "interesting and main" than Linda. To me Linda improve alot but TVB needs to stop promoting her too much its driving me insane not to watch her dramas anymore.

Ew at Linda.
Ew at Linda leading over YoYo and Tavia.
Ew at Ray jumping from guest star to third male lead.
Ew at the love triangle.
Ew at the love triangle turned rectangle turned pentagon.
Ew at the love shaped-confused shape dominating the story.
Ew at the fact that this series is VERY similar to Golden Faith.
Ew at the love shaped-confused shape dominating the story when only one person from that shape is even slightly related to the family (that being Moses) when the story is supposed to revolve around the family.
Ew at the love shaped-confused shape dominating BoTa =(

Ew at all the flaws that I've pointed out causing the TOTALLY AWESOME AND SNAZZY SERIES OF THE YEAR ON MY LIST to be ruined =(

HURRAH TO FALSE HOPE

Perhaps . But I've still yet to find her potential and what makes her different to every other Miss HK turned actress. Hopefully she'll change my opinion of her in this series.

Annoy:
Bosco-Tavia again!Dicey then Heart,two series in 3 months have them.That make me feel tired.I'd rather watching Moses-Linda than them.
Michelle Yim is Moses's mother?She is too young to be his mother.
Too complicated love.Triangle love is enough.They don't need to let the love become so so so complicated like this.

Maybe:
I feel ok with Linda.In fact I think she is pretty and improving.Give her a chance to show herself and who know what will happen.
Tracy Ip,I've never seen her before.Maybe she will give me a fresh look.

yup! i can't stand linda chung! she sucks! plus she's not even pretty! why the heck would tvb put her over tavia and yoyo! thats gota be the dumbest thing tvb is doing! stop promoting LInda chung! dang it!



"potential"? well she still sucks!

More like third series in a row with Linda in it DX That makes me feel VERY tired.

Ok I have nothing much against Linda, I reckon she's alright as a newbie but leading over Tavia? Gees, she has yet to earn herself the place. Basically, TVB is using Tavia etc... so other ppl's fans is lured to watch the series and Linda would get the credit naturally as 'the leading actress'.

I sorta like the idea of the original plot which has much less love hexagons and what not. Originally Ray is supposed to be guest staring as Tavia's abusive billionaire husband and because he 'loves her too much' he became overprotective and jealous of her and started abusing her because of this 'love'. Tavia apparently said in some interview her character would have loved Ray's character very much if he had not been so jealous etc... and started the affair with Bosco.

I admit I'm a hardcore Fungyi fan but I also miss seeing Ray being 'evil'.

I actually don't mind Bosco being manipulated around resembling Oscar (cos I really love Oscar in GF cos of the acting). But Bosco is manipulated too much nowadays so I hope at least he's smart to an extent. I think acting would be 6/10 and plot is 4/10 in terms of how I rate the character. Like some characters are evil and not meant to be likeable but because of the acting, it turns the character around and I really enjoy the experience eg Shirley in The Brink of Law, Raymond in Golden Faith/ A Step into the Past and Michael in Dicey Business etc...

On the otherhand, some characters are meant to be likeable but I hated it like Myolie in To Grow with Love, Moses in Land of Wealth, Kate Tsui in Price of Greed...etc... they were a big bore.

if Bosco-Tavia pairing is considered boring, can someone help me with the continuously airing of Linda/Kate Tsui lately? At least Bosco and Tavia are decent actors and their storyline is totally different.

overall. the story and the cast are really interesting for me.
except for linda...
she suppose not in the drama...but ms. lok is making the producer to allow her to act in this drama...
i was really mad at ms. lok...she is reallly anoying...
thats why...she is making me hate linda...

well, i am fine she is in the drama...its not a big deal...but can u see...
all her parts from the trailer are her love relationships....(99%)
helllo? the main theme is about the family issues...and not love relationship...
even though i like raymond and yoyo...but i really think their character is not necessary at all....same as linda's part...

of course, i was mad when she is leading over yoyo and tavia...
that piss me off the most....

*sigh* ppl these days complain too much...i meant nobody had finished watching da series..anf wat if linda was in toomuch series...she did improve didnt she????

i think they should of replace linda for bernice so moses and bernice could reunite. It would be much better since bernice acting is good in modern. Moses should play a funny type and bernice too

i haven't thought about it much but the BoTa thing like sum that has already mentioned, dicey they are both paired together, and now in HOG, plus i'm just not so enthused about this pairing so it bothers me even more...
--
tho i'm a fan of Linda, can't believe she is leading over Tavia, and i'm a Tav fan as well lol

Even I prefer Tavia over Linda she is overly promoted alrite she may have unproved but stil lnot a fan of hers and don't think she should be the female lead over ypyo and tavia at all wrong choice in having Linda iot wouldv'e of been a perfect series..

we have more than enough stars in this series, with Linda getting a big role is just not what I wanted, but she is improving and we have to deal with her appearance in hear. On the positive sides, there are other characters will have more screen time than her.

After watching chapter 1, I have to say Ha Yu's laughter and always shrugging his shoulders. So annoying. Moses' acting is really strange too. Maybe it's the character but he acts really dumb.

I think the only thing I have to complain about right now is the fact that Linda leads over Tavia and Yoyo. C'mon, they are both her senior, have more potential and acting talent. It's okay to promote Linda because TVB sees potential in her, but then again TVB is known for its strange taste nowadays... anyway, what I try to make clear is that Linda shouldn't have the right to lead over Tavia and Yoyo.. she just isn't good enough for it yet and still has a lot of years to improve. COME ON she's only 23!

yea i agree w/ everyone. im just pissed that linda is the main lead, and thus she will have many scenes and i will have to see her most. i already saw her in the 1st ep and no other tavia or yoyo. its just messed up.

im pissed that linda is the main and her acting really is not that good.i cant stand her annoying voice.when she first appear in esp 1 her voice is like a little kid yelling and she looks like she tried to remember her lines

100% agreed with you.
i dont find any reason for tvb to promote linda.. she's like omg.. i dunno what they call.. putting her everywhere, trying to fit her in every drama.. my god.. and yet.. ok.. she improved a slight... but then i dont wish to see her fitting in every drama... she must know how to choose a script for herself man...
its not like i didnt gv her a chance to watch each of her performance in her drama, but it turn out to be disappointment...
tavia & yoyo can act wayyyyyyyyy better than linda.. aww c'mon tvb!

i know i wrote my thoughts already...
but i was so mad after i saw the first episode....
and the themevideo too....most scences are linda....
i dont mind seeing her in a series...but i cant accept that she is leading over taiva and yoyo...
that is crazy..
tavia and yoyo's acting are much better than her....
i hate that ms. lok....she should be fire

i just saw her part as the lawyer in the beginning...
it was horrible...
one more thing, its her voice.....

i definitely skip all her screentime.....

I'm not gonna mention about the acting yet cause i've only seen episode 1 and it's too early to judge..and personally I don't mind if an actress (Doesn't matter who) appear in a few series consecutively, as long as they perform well in their roles I'm cool with it (don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Linda).

Episode 1 was pretty nice..just that I'm a lil annoyed with Moses and Ha Yu, especially their laughter. I guess I can deal with Ha Yu because he's done it before but with Moses..it's just weird and I hope he won't be like this throughout the series causes it'll be too annoying. The rest is just alright, can't tell much yet until we see more episodes..

LOL so much Anti-Linda-ism in here ^_^'

well i'm sure there was anti-tavia-ism when she first started her acting career

it's all a problem of time

wow i was to see so many complaints already. well i didnt know that linda was leading more than tavia and yoyo. i think tavia should be leading more too. well they have a lot of people in this series so its hard to tell. it seems like raymond isnt much of a leading actor here either.

Ha Yu's laughing is relly annoying. His acting isn't problem but his laughing arrrrrr.

After watching 1st eps, even I don't like Linda, I've to say that she improved. Give girl time. Charmaine Sheh is an example. 1st noone can stand with her acting, now she's way better.

Fortunately Tavia starred in countless small roles before she got her breakthrough role in VF and even then it was because Michelle Yip wasn't able to do that role. Tavia also graduated TVB Academy compared to Linda's win in MCI so when they both started off....

Apart from Linda my complaint is that I heard that Tavia is appearing in episode 6?
[spoiler]Also that she gets married in episode 16? Thats like 10 episodes for Tavia and Bosco to meet, have an affair, love each other very much, get pregnant [/spoiler] Then what do we have left?!?! There are other characters in the series besides Linda...besides the story is about the Tong family...

Wow....so hot in here....sorry 2 ask but y is sooooooo many of u say dat linda is d lead? i tot d role she's playing is just a supporting role...can any1 pls explain dis 2 me?

Like it's been mentioned above, Tavia DID do some cameos/smaller roles before she had her breakthrough. She worked very hard to achieve everything she has today. Unlike Linda who was already 2nd lead in her SECOND series Always Ready. Don't you think TVB should train her more before she leads over two BETTER actresses?! This isn't seeing potential in somebody, this is favouring somebody. Why? It's not that she is better than Tavia and Yoyo... would it be because she's a MCI? Well, that says something about your acting skills.

And omg, Yoyo was first lead in FH, and now she's either 2nd or 3rd... do you see any sense in this?

Linda is lucky that she got so much opportunity so early. I've noticed that after her first role in VOH, she jumped straight into second lead in AR. Then second lead in TBB, HIL, then first lead in <ancient series>, BB, and HOG.

She did show improvement in the 1st episode , the scene with Moses is quite nice though there's something odd about their way of speaking, but that's just me ;

My complain is, why are Raymond and Tavia appearing so late? Haha..just kidding..complaints will be lodged later into the series..

totally agreed. Why is linda so popular? shes so annoying to watch ... shes like a princess when she acts.. the soft voice, the frantic actions and exaggerated speeches. SO ANNOYING. and NO-WAY is so better to lead over tavia or yoyo. I'd like to see tavia is a lead ... but not with moses... dunno ... id rather see bernice and moses i think they are the ultimate couple x) both so funny.

i agree with you....i am not sure did anyone heard about this news....there was a vote for which actress or actor has the worst acting skills.... males, ron is the first, i agree too...
females, kate is first and the linda is second. ( but their votes are very close)
but tvb is promoting her....because they like her....
even the audiences reflect their thoughts...but they dont care...thats why i hate linda more..
she doesnt deserve that much promotion (yet)
someone think she improved...but i dont think so...even in the court scene, it was horrible....she can portray the characteristic of the lawyer...the worst thing is her voice....when she is questioning the 2nd mother, she give me the feeling she is talking to her...not really questioning (is this a word?) her at all.... maybe i am little bias, but i cant stand her acting at all....and the voice too...



yeah...but lots of ppl hate him...its just that tvb or should i say ms. lok still likes him...and same as linda

I didn't know about Tracy Ip O.o
It would be so much better if it was just Raymond-Linda-Moses-Yoyo. Heh.
Anw, I agree that I can't stand the fact that Linda is the leading lady.
Yes she is pretty but not drop dead gorgeous. Yes her acting has improved but it isn't up to the leading role standard yet. So basically... yeah. TVB is just trying to promote her

i so agree with you kshyuen! i so dislike linda.. she cannot act and now shes lead over yoyo and tavia.. linda is not ready to take on lead.. i seen her so many times that im so tired...

yes linda did improve but just a little bit.. but this doesnt mean that she should be taking on lead roles? just say that linda is damn lucky to be favoured by miss lok. after all, tvb is all about favouritism and to an extent, corrupt.. miss lok has the power so she can do whatever she wants.. promote who she likes, demote those she dont like... i gues it doesnt matter if the actress/actors can even act, its just getting on miss lok's good side...

i think maybe all of the audience should like linda cuz she's going to be in alot of series in the future (maybe in the next 10 years since shes still young) .. might as well accept linda as the lead so watching series (with her as the lead) in the next few years wont be torture and painful!


p.s- imo, its not a matter of time.. if you dont like a particular actress/actor, you tend to not like them in the future... drkman, yes there were those who didnt like tavia when she first appeared but it doesnt mean EVERYONE likes her now... it depends on ppl i guess.. for example you like linda (obviously) whereas i clearly dont!

yeah i agree with the linda leading thing.
i dont even like watching her on the screen let alone leading.
i wanna see more of yoyo and tavia!

i don't like Linda in this serie she's isn't that good to be the leading in this serie i want to see Tavia more then her

my complaint is that y hasn't tavia appear yet...i mean all the casts member has appear except raymond (the guest star)!!! also at least tvb can show some scenes of tavia and her husband ...so we can get a feel of how their relationship are ...y he abuses her..u know what i mean!?

Wow I am in Linda's hating tread? lol
My complain: too much love triangle >.< it's too complicated! I'm already confused by the characters's relationship...

I pity Linda. She's heavily promoted by TVB, just like what happened to Ron. Now her downfall wil be very bad...

And I agree with oO°mElOdY°Oo, there are TOO many love-triangles and BoTa's love story develop toooooo fast!

it's because linda chung is young and cheap. If they force to do some lifetime contract, overpromote her and one day she will reach the higher levels, TVB will have a good moneyslave.

if they promote tavia, she'll easily go away. And also... she is too old, by the time she gets superpopular (3-4) years, she'd be too old to play the young love interest.

Yoyo and Tavia have gained a stable amount of popularity and obviously belong to TVBs best artists. If the actress leading over them was Ada Choi or something, I could've easily accepted this ranking. But not if it's some baby girl who's just turned 23 and still doesn't act so well yet. Placing her in the leading roles means her weakness in acting is more obvious when comparisons with Yoyo and Tavia are made. People will only dislike her more by then. It would be a pity since she's still so young... if TVB invests more time in her, then Linda might grow into a real, good actress.

You know, I don't care it's a risk TVB takes.

Same as most of you. Linda just irks me. I wanna see Tavia!

well it seems to me that i'm not the oly one siding because they dislike linda! she to me isnt that pretty (miss hk ._.) and i dont think her acting is all that "refreshing" all having all that "potential" (i cant say to much for her at the moment) and seriously her acting is at all un-convincing!
seriously she may "improve" or what not, but from what others and i can see at the moment, LINDA doesnt seem to well~ hopefully this doesnt start any bashing BUT i'd have to agree with you guys on the linda topic!
NONETHELESS, i do feel for all the linda fans out there, and respect them and hopefully it is through this series that we are able to draw or "find" her improvements
AND indulge on one of the best series + artistes!

I feel so sad for some of you who can't see past your bias against Linda. Seriously, many of you hate Linda because she is the lead or she got promoted too fast. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why don't you actually judge Linda's acting skill instead.

I like Linda AND I like Tavia. I bet some of you can't believe you can actually like TWO actresses at the same time!!! I think Linda definitely improve in this series. Some of you saying she is unconvincing....WELL, I dare some of you to NAME one scene in the series where she was unnatural. Don't say the court room scene because she only has ONE line in that scene and it was very quick. Don't tell me you think she is horrible by just that one line she said....

Also Linda is not overexposed like Ron. She was recently in Best Bet and the series before that was last year Forensic Heroes. Also sorry to disappoint you but aside from this thread, many HK people has no complaints of Linda at all. There is not going to be any backlash, I guarantee it.

Also Heart of Greed is really an ensemble. You guys should really stop looking at it as 1st lead, 2nd lead, etc.

Well, I guess it's human nature for ppl to dislike Linda becos she's promoted way too fast.. imagine you work for this company for many years and put in lotsa hard work.. and u get promoted slowly.. and suddenly this newbie joins your company and just because your boss likes this newbie, she gets promoted way up high.. would u be angry?

But I guess I have gotten over the fact that linda is the lead over yoyo and tavia.. it really doesn't matter anymore now..

hrm so many people hating Linda in here..I think many overseas people are tired with Linda series back-to-back because right before Best Bet there's Heavenly In Laws that was released in January

about the lead thing yea this series is an ensemble but some people like Moses and Linda still getting more screentime and more character development than others, so i understand that people are not satisfied that Linda is getting more screentime than Yoyo and Tavia..but i have also gotten over this. well for some reason i only see Linda as a #1 female lead because she is pairing with the #1 leading male Moses, but i secretly picked Susanna Kwan and Lee Si Kei as the real female lead hahaha..since Lee Si Kei only exists for a little more than half of the series then maybe Susanna is the real lead. afterall she's the one who'll have a face-off with moses later lol..

i'm not a fan of Linda, but she has definitely improved. Not great yet but her character is cute and likeable and she delivers quite well. i wonder if everyone who complained about Linda has actually seen the series haha

i personally think that Linda might gain more fame and fans from this series instead of backlashes because like i've said she's got a likeable role and she has improved. other people that i think might have recognition from this series might be Fala Chen and Moses

Linda is one of the reasons I don't love this serie But I like the others (Bosco, Tavia and Raymond) so I'll live. What annoys me is the storyline. It's so old and predictable. Rich family fight over money. They should write something new and refreshing.

okay ive nothing against linda. in fact i think her acting is fine for a young girl and a new actress. after watching always on standby, this is much better.. so yea

but ive complains, this series family style seems to resemble WRTL alot! and err. im not so fond of the 1st 2 episodes ive just watched. did made me really bored..

and ive got something against the moses character!! mayb ive seen too much of the "cool" looking moses that i cant take this light hearted one.

I WANNA COMPLAIN IS HOW COME TAVIA STILL HAVEN'T APPEAR, AND WE GOTTA WAIT TILL EPISODE 8 ?!
THAT IS WAYY TOOOO LONGGGGGG !!!!!!
THIS IS CRAP !!!!!
