okay finally, here's the ep 47 clip [post="http://www.sendspace.com/file/2hvy06"]http://www.sendspace.com/file/2hvy06[/post]
credit to shehsheh.com

This clip here quality if a little bit worse than the previous clips. kind of not very clear. But you can see Charray getting marry and being happy in it thumbsup.gif Charm looks so beautiful in white doesn't she? And Ray as her handsome groom is so dashing infatuated.gif

I don't quite understand Mandarin so can someone spoil me on what is going on with the court case thing? thank you!

wow charlie+, your speed is way higher than mine. I'm downloading through the bittorent program now and my speed is aroun 20 kb/sec. Maybe it's because my net is slow.
So can everybody download now? If not, do say so and after I'm done downloading all the clips, I will reupload for you guys. If you can then that's great! smile.gif

By the way, thank you for posting up the new MVs I'll watch it once my net is free smile.gif

bittersweet05, those pictures are so cute! I really like your comments too. yup, Ray only has eyes for Charm. He probably want to give that flower bouquet to Charm but not too obvious to the press so Myolie's there lols

I really hope the ratings for DOL in HK skyrocket! I hope it will get the highest rating ever and be number one like in China! thumbsup.gif

Go Charray!! thumbsup.gif


Hey dawnlight. Glad it worked for you! I went back and managed to download ep.45 at a fairly decent speed...but i couldn't download ep.46 and 47 (the transfer rate was back to about 5kb per second) Would you mind uploading the clips on sharebig (that usually works well for me). Thank you so much!

AHHHH! Silly me! LOL...it's just so like me to not read recent posts. buahaha.gif But THANK YOU SO MUCH for uploading the clips dawnlight!! *hug* You rock!! Oh and i was just wondering...did ep. 47 skip for you guys? it kept skipping from one scene to another and speeding up at some parts.

hehehe you are funny bittersweet05! I assume you can download from sendspace? If not, I'll upload to sharebig for you.

Does anyone know the rating for DOL? I don't really expect it to be high for the first eps since Charray are not in those first eps. I hope the rating will skyrocket once Charray appear with their awesome love and chemistry!! thumbsup.gif

hum, I agree the quality of ep 47 is quite bad. The video move in a jerked way, like a bitmap animation. So I went ahead and download the whole ep 47 through bittorrent, since this ep is so sweet with [spoiler]Charray getting marry, kissing, and the romantic candlelight dinner! By the way, I hate Pong's mother and Joe's character in here! One is so evil and the other is just being stubborn! Why can the mother be happy for her son when he is so happy on the wedding day to his most beloved? [/spoiler]

Oh well I'm looking forward to more sweet Charray moments!
Ida101
just finished watching the first 3eps of DOL in canto.. and i must say the feel is totally different hearing their real voices is sooo much better.. i still love how Charray met.. and how sneaky Charmaine was.. gotta love Charray!! i just cant wait to watch all the great scenes Charray have together in canto.. it will be so much sweeter..
Advo
I must say after having watched the latest eps of the Mando version, I have developed a serious dislike for Gigi as well. Not so much for her animosity against Charmaine, that is expected especially with Joe's evil doings, but because she haven't supported her son at all. As a mother, she should have been able to sidestep all issues with Charmaine and be there for her son! That was a very lousy and petty move!!

But, otherwise, the wedding was very sweet ;D

Wow... I've been busy with school lately so I haven't had the chance to really come to this forum much, and I must say that I REALLY love how all of your guys are so active smile.gif Thank you guys so much for all the updates and news biggrin.gif It really helps people like me who can't read Chinese (despite having gone to some Chinese school ><)

Anyway, I was wondering if anybody can PLEASE upload clips of episode 43 again? The link on shehsheh.com has expired? It would be awesome if someone could do that biggrin.gif
dawnlight
Ida101, so you've seen the Canto version? Is Ray's subsong in there when the credit rolls at the end? I want to hear the love song between Charray, oh I mean Pong and Fung wink.gif I'm still mad that Charm isn't feature in the MV tho n_thumbdown.gif

Advo, yeah, I think GiGi's character is petty and stubborn. She is actually hurting him by not supporting him and his happiness. Joe and Jessica aren't helping either! I just dislike them so dry.gif

raine dr0ps, I have that clip on file but can't reupload for you at the moment. I can't slow down my network even more at the moment so maybe later in the day I can help you reupload. What site do you want?

I have a request, do you guys know what song play in the Mandarin version when Charm was driving and crying while she remember all her time with Ray? I like that song. Can I know where to download it from? Thank you!

Can someone please upload the Charmaine's clips of Episode 50 from shehsheh.com to other sites please? I am having so much problem with Sharebig.....please!!!!!

The MV of Ray's subtheme can be seen on TVB site.
http://download.tvb.com/ringtone/index2.asp

Definitely a song about Charray, when Charm leaves Ray, how much he misses her and cannot forget her.

You have to read Chinese to be able to find the song...maybe someone can extract it. Haven't checked sehseh's blog yet. maybe she has it?

Ray sings it very well and the song's melody is nice too......

Yeah, I am totally poisoned by Bong and Fung....Ray and Charm.....could never get enough of them......

myhelen, I can't see the MV sad-smiley-065.gif I hope someone upload it so I can download. And what about the mp3? I want to listen to it so bad! Must be so good with Ray's voice and the story of Charray, I mean Pong and Fung 1.gif

oh, and I'll reupload ep 50 clip for you. sendspace okay?

oh yeah, I want to ask those that have seen the MV. Is Bernice any good in it? I'm not really looking forward to seeing the MV that much now that I know Charm is not feature but Bernice the butter is in it n_thumbdown.gif

Charm's and Damien's scenes are so emotional in here. They did a really nice job.
By the way, I didn't see ep 49 clip on shehsheh.com. What did the poster write about that ep? Can't read lols

[spoiler]If I'm not mistaken, it should be the ep where Joe rigged Charm's car and she accidental ran her car into Damien.[/spoiler]
bittersweet05
I love the idea of Charray finally being together at last (i giggle everytime Ray calls Charm "wife"! so sweet!! roflol.gif ) But the thing is that, their wedding scene was not what i expected. Despite both Ray and Charm looking absolutely GORGEOUS and HANDSOME, it was so plain, quiet, small and....basically not the thing i was expecting for the unification of such a perfect PERFECT couple like Charray! You could count with your fingers how many people attended their wedding and they couldn't even hold a proper reception/dinner afterwards. (even though the candlelit dinner was very romantic). I mean, a marriage is suppose to be (or hopefully suppose to be) once in a lifetime and it's every woman's dream to have THE wedding with their one and only. I just wished Pong's mom and sister could've thrown away their misconceptions and prejudice on Fung and just attended the damn wedding!!! soapbox[1].gif . And another thing...why didn't Pong and Fung invite their friends? I mean, i'm sure they had friends right....? -.-.gif
I'm just really really pissed off as to why they just couldn't give Charray a big, happy, once-in-a-life-time, bash-of-the-year, fairytale wedding?! (something like their first....erhh...unsuccessful wedding). Such a perfect, lovely, superfantabulous couple deserves a superincredible and awesome wedding!!!! lol.gif

Agrrrrhhh...well, i guess we can't expect too much from TVB (no charray duet, bernice instead of charm in the mv)....but at least they'd casted our lovely Charm and Ray together, right? 13.gif Looking forward to more cute, sweet scenes of Charray!

The poster just said that they have the clips up to ep.50 but missing ep.49....althought he/she didn't mention why. BTW, dawnlight, you're so nice for uploading the clips for others! See! Charray fans are the nicest, most enthusiastic, helpful, active fans out there!! yay.gif

BTW, if anyone managed to download Ray's subtheme music video, can they please upload it elsewhere so all of us can enjoy it? THANKS!!
Advo
So that's really the DOL subtheme? How weird, it has absolutely nothing to do with Drive, does it? I think the music vid is very, VERY similar to the plot of the movie Lake House with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Not so keen on the song yet, but I'll probably like it better after a couple more tries. BTW, it can also be found on Youtube.
bittersweet05
wahhh i just listened to the subtheme and just have to say Ray was AWESOME!! This guy can sing as well as he act! Two thumbs up! thumbsup.gif Very touching and no doubt, is about the time when Charm left him...trying to forget her, trying to even hate her...but just ends up thinking more about her. Just don't get why Bernice is in the MV instead of Charm... mad.gif

I think we should start a petition that Charray should do a duet together (and have a mv)...now that would be sweet! n_innocent.gif
dawnlight
hehe no problem bittersweet05. I do what I can to help. I can't write stories or translate anything, but I can reupload what I can lols Thank you for translating what that person wrote. hmm I wonder why ep 49 is missing.

About the wedding scene, I thought it was very nicely filmed. Their first (failed) wedding setting was like a fairy tale alright with many guest and flowers and stuff but it ended badly. I think this time Charray just want a quiet wedding with their close family. This wedding focus on their love for each other and that's the most important part. I think it's emphasize that having a whole elaborate wedding doesn't matter, what matter the most is that they have each other and legally bind to each other. I saw the true happiness in Charray at their wedding and then the romantic candlelight afterward. They would rather be with each other than entertaining guests don't you think?

oh and since TVB doesn't let Charray have a big wedding celebration in this series, hopefully there is one in their next series together? I wish that will be soon because I can't get enough of this couple!

and where did you listen to the subtheme from? can you tell me? thank you!

Advo, do you have the link to the MV on youtube? I tried searching but don't know what to type in.

And I will be the first one to sign that petition if there ever one begging TVB to have a Charray duet and MV!! That would be a dream come true!! thumbsup.gif
Ida101
just listened to the subtheme as well.. and i must say i love Raymond's vocals.. he is such a great singer and he sings well live as well.. about Charmaine not being in the MV its a pity cos it would have been really really great but i think usually they dont get the female lead to be in the MV.. like Kevins theme song for the seventh day the lead for that was Myolie not Niki..

the wedding scene was a sweet one i think.. although not grand but it was nice and simple and they were happy just to be with each other.. i found it really sweet when Damien arrived.. both Charmaine and Raymond looked so happy when he actually attended.. and then the candle lit dinner they had... and Ray said "sorry" and Charm was like "i thought you were going to start off by saying I love you" they are just so sweet...

oh really? wait, now that you mentioned it, I do notice that trend that the female lead is not in the MV usually. Like the MV for Ron's Don't blame her was Linda and not Ella. ic. So maybe in Ray's next MV (for a series or whatever) can feature Charm lah thumbsup.gif

Can you tell me where I can watch the MV or download the song please please please?! thank you

I didn't understand what they said so thanks for translating that part. What Charm said is so cute. Then did Ray say I love you, wifey to Charm? wink.gif
myhelen
I know the wedding scene is not the dream wedding for most girls, but I think it is the most sweet, warm, touching and memorable wedding scene. It just showed me that the focus of this wedding is the two of them. Isn't wedding suppose to be? Their love shined through the whole simple yet solemn wedding. They have been through so much and they could finally be together. There are only very few guests, but you could be 100% sure that those who have attended are truly, sincerely happy for them and will send them their blessings whole heartedly. There is so much love in that wedding. That's much more precious than having hundreds of guests. Just think, how many of those hundreds are truly happy for you with all their heart? Many are just business associates, friend's friend etc. who have to be there due to courtesy and other reasons. I think Charray's attitude has matured and changed after what they have been through and what they are looking for is a simple and quiet life where the 2 of them will share happily. That's what is important to them. They looked so touched and happy in that wedding.

I am NOT saying that wishing for a more elaborate wedding is wrong. It is very understandable to think that way. We want the best for our beloved Charray, right? But I could totally understand why the writers plan a simple wedding for them. It is very appropiate for the situation. And it will remain the most memorable and touching wedding scene in my mind for a VERY LONG TIME.

Dawnlight, Thank you so much for uploading the clips again! You are such a sweetie! I could dl from Sharebig yesterday, but failed today again. Don't know what went wrong!
dawnlight
I totally agree with you about the wedding myhelen! You put in way more eloquent than me lols All the people present all want to be there and are truely happy for them. I prefer Pong's mother and sister not be there since they still have a grudge with Charm and their presence just dampen the mood of this happy event. It's worse to make them come. So this can still be considered Ray's first modern marriage scene right? wink.gif

and you are welcome myhelen smile.gif I wish the poster upload to a more convienient download site so more people can see and love Charray whistle.gif

Hey there's s thread in kuangai TVB that compares the difference between TVB version and CCTV version. They have posted some scenes there which I think you guys may be interested to see. Here's the link:
http://www.kuangaitvb.com/bbs/viewthread.p...;extra=page%3D1

I don't have time to post them up here yet. There are some Charray scenes, so hopefully you guys can see it if you are interested.

bittersweet05
Here's the youtube link to the MV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru36kHME6kE

And after listening (lol, i meant READING! blush.gif) to myhelen and dawnlight's both very insightful interpretations, i must say i have to agree. I guess i was too strong with my words before, but yes, the scene was very nice and warm, showcasing how they could finally be together after all the ups and downs and misunderstandings, it's just that i would've also loved to see them have a big, elaborate wedding as well. LOL, me and my greedy mind! Hopefully Charray will be so popular that TVB will put them in many other series together!! happy.gif happy.gif

By the way, i think i've read articles where it's said that Charm rejected like 3 series, a movie, and many oversea shows just to participate in DOL....can't help but think that the sole reason why she was so eager to be in DOL is because of a certain "someone" eyebrowes.gif (and of course the challenging and interesting role of Wing Sau Fung)

And don't worry my dear Charray fans, in the MV Bernice and Raymond hardly even have any scenes together because the mv's theme is about two people of different times where they only communicated with each other through the diary. And i also watched the making of the MV and Ray said that he hopes that in his future MVs he can ask a lot of his other female and male colleagues to participate in them (hopefully one for his Charmie of course!).

Hopefully DOL will become a legendary series and have skyrocketing ratings!
dawnlight
I've just watched the MV (thank you bittersweet05!) and it was quite nicely done (considering Charm isn't in it). I'm glad there are no scene of Ray and Bernice together because that would ruin the nice song for me. While I was listening to the song, I keep imagining Charray together. The part where Ray cries was so emotional for me, like when he and Charm hug and cried in the alley. I want to see that scene with Ray's song in the background.
The MV does remind me of that movie with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Maybe TVB borrowed the idea from Hollywood lols.
So Ray said he will ask his co-stars (Charm? wink.gif) to be in his next MVs? That's great! I'm looking forward to the day!

I asked this before, does anyone know the Mandarin song playing in the background when Charm was driving away from Ray, remembering all their memorable time together? and where to download? thanks!

Yes, the MV did copy from the movie The Lake House. However, that isn't so correct either because it's a remake of the korean movie Il Mare! Therefore, the original idea is from Il Mare (watch it, wayyyyyy better than Hollywood crappy remake who didn't even bother to properly credit the original).

Here's the mandarin song in DOL you are looking for. It's call "Ten Thousand Reason":
http://download.yousendit.com/031695645F7937BA
dawnlight
thank you so much sehseh! I'm downloading the song right now! At first I didn't really notice the song, but then it grew on me when I associate that song with all the sweet Charray scenes

[spoiler](like when Ray beg Charm to kill him and when Ray ran into the lake and when Charm drove away from Ray)[/spoiler]

all those scenes are so sweet! I really like the song. Thank you again!

Now I'm waiting for the mp3 version of Ray's subsong lols I like that song too.

So Hollywood copied the Korean drama without crediting? That's really not right! To tell the truth, I didn't watch The Lake House, I only got the plot from a preview at the movies once. I thought it might be boring so not waste my money.
Is ll Mare the title? looks very strange to me. Is it II Mare or LL Mare? sorry for questions unrelated to Charray hehe

Thanks for posting the link to the MV. I like Bernice but Charm would have been better in the MV w/ Raymond to further publicize DOL series. They had no scene together in the MV.

Charm declined one of the series which was 80 chapters (I think it's call Jewelry Splendors due to schedule conflict bc she was filming DOL); however, the role was replaced by Linda Chung, which is unbelievable on TVB's part bc her acting is not even that mature to that level like Gigli or Ada Choi. That made me past that TVB did that. I do hope that after DOL that TVB will put Charm & Ray together for further series as a "couple" but less drama than DOL like them already being husband & wife (comic possibly). Were they ever in Virtues of Happiness III (aka "Seeking Happiness")? from one of the website, it had stated that role was passed to Charm and Raymond stars in it as one of her lover beside Bosco. The role originally belongs to Michelle Yee but bc of the fans wanting TVB to pair up Charray.

I think Raymond and Linda Chung actually are dating in real life bc in numerous MV or performances, they held hands like they are dating plus when he was interview @ Shanghai airport, he had mentioned Linda's mom being on the set.

So Pong & Fung got married but was the dad already paralyze by Fung after Joe sabatoge her car breaks. How do I sign on to Charmaine's website / fan club to join as a member if I can't read Chinese? Is there a fee? Can someone help me? I had google translate but it didn't work bc the web also require a special code posted by the site. I want to see some of DOL clips. We were able to download the series via web but it's in mandarin which I don't understand 100% (prefer Canto). So excited about their marriage unionization... (yahyahyah).

Ah! I wonder wat eps will this song play ^^. About the MV, it's similar to Lakehouse ( I luv both Sandra and Keanu but the film is not that good) and I can't really understand it. Hmm, maybe the MV isn't really my cup of tea.

fox.rlzoo , thanks for the links!!! (:

dawnlight, yes i love those parts too!! esp the first one u were talking about. It was soo touching that i cried like crazy!

she was probably too busy to film jewelry splendors, eventhough i would love for her to act in it. She has so much chemistry with both ada and gigi. They are such good friends. i agree that Linda's acting skill has not developed till that stage yet. So hopefully after this she would have some improvement.

After DOL, tvb would love this couple. So many new fans have proclaim their love for this new couple. So audience love charray -> Tvb love charray!! About the seeking happiness, i am not too sure whether that is realiable, but i would to watch them in it. however i would prefer it to be modern even though the original one is ancient. But i hvae a lking for them in the modern era. (?)

DOL ending, havent watch it yet, after all the vigorous discussion i shall go and watch it tonight! too busy watch it nowadays. i believe i would love the wedding scene! charray! (: congrats to DOL for getting such high ratings in hongkong!

Thanks fox.rizoo and sehseh for the download links!! clapping.gif
Ahhh i'm still waiting for the newest Charray-only clips from shehsheh.com...what episodes is CCTV up to? Isn't it almost up to the ending...they only have 58 episodes right? unsure.gif So won't the ending be out by the time HK viewers watch it? LOL, i guess i already ruined it for myself for watching the Charray-only clips...even though i don't really understand mando, i could still read the subtitles and kinda knew what was happening. But i still plan to watch the canto version because the dubbing voice-over thing was really annoying for me and i'm sure we'd all have a total different feel when we're watching it with the actors' REAL voices. More sweet at Charray moments! laugh.gif

I swear the song would go soooooo perfectly with a Charray MV with scenes of flashback to the time when Charm starts "taking revenge" on the Wah family and the pain both Charm and Ray felt when they couldn't be together. roflol.gif I just love Charray more and more each day!! And i'm positive that when DOL is finished Charray will become one of those "legendary" couples like Charmaine and Chilam or Gigi Lai and Bowie Lam. 13.gif <---lol i love this face!!

kare_bare: i read the same thing too!! and i got so excited i was like "omg! another Charray series!!!!" But i haven't heard anything else about this series/show or whatever it is. Does anyone know anything else about this "Seeking Happiness" thing? What's the title in chinese?

YESSSSSSSSSSS! I just read (from sehseh's blog) that DOL has AWESOME ratings just for the beginning!!!
series."
------------------------------------


"TVB spent $10 million (HKD) to promote "The Drive of Life" earlier. Finally, the Cantonese version was aired in Hong Kong on Monday. The average ratings was 32 points, peaking at 34 points. Approximately 2.2 million viewers tuned in. In the past, only the finale of a series would rake in such ideal ratings.

When the series first started, it pulled in 31 points and continued to climb to 33 points. At 10:29 PM, the scene flashed to Damien Lau Chung Yan meeting with his 2 younger brothers. Ratings peaked at 34 points during this scene, breaking a new record for the debut of a series."
------------------------------------

YAYYYYY! clapping.gif clapping.gif clapping.gif WOW, already 34 pts at like the first two episodes? As they say, series only usually reach such high ratings near the ending or when someone dies. Congrats DOL cast!! Now i'm super confident that the ratings will go to like 39 pts at Charray scenes! cool.gif

(and with such ideal ratings i'm sure TVB will take note....and perhaps pair Ray and Charm up again and again and give them awards at the awards ceremony this year? innocent.gif Teehee! )
♥ Naive Fox ♥
huh? 39 only? I wish for 51 ^^

34 PTS is for eps 1 only.
tdrama*addict
seeing all the clips and pictures!! i cant wait to start the drive of life biggrin.gif..its all just for raymond and char!!! honestly, i looked at it, and was like OMG, 60 episodes! seem so long, but then, saw CHARRAY, so must support!! hope it wont be too draggy smile.gif and hope lots of scenes with CHARRAY!!!
Jupi
What a great great news about the ratings for DOL is that great. I'm sure the peak will be on charray moments also I think the ratings will be on when Fungs mom died in the serie. I think that charm was great there so heartbroken to see her so sad.
thanks fox.rlzoo for the dl links
dawnlight
thank you fox.rlzoo for all the download links! I can listen to Ray's voice without having to seeing Bernice now! But then still have to hear her voice yech dry.gif Is there a version without the voices?

I'm very glad that the rating of DOL is high so far. I hope it will get even higher!!

Ray's rumors with Linda is just for publicity for HOG! I mean it's normal to hold hands when performing together right? it's just for show. I don't see Ray and Linda (or Bernice for that matter) being as compatible as Charray together. Linda and Bernice are the western type girls which I don't think Ray and his family, who values traditions, would find fitting for a wife. But that's just my thoughts. Charm would make a terrific wife for Ray! thumbsup.gif

about that "seeking happiness" thing, I think that's just a story a fan made up. I don't think TVB has anything to do with it. But a modern comedy with Charray would be what I really want! Charray would be so great with comedies since they are so playful individual.

Did you guys read on the shoutbox on sehseh's blog that Charm gave Michael Tse an NDS? Now if she gave Michael one, do you think Ray has a special one too since Ray loves playing games so much? Charm is so considerate, I think she would buy all kinds of games for Ray. Wonder what she will give him for his birthday wink.gif

LOL! If i could i would wish for 100 pts! (i still don't get how this whole rating thing works...what's the maximum?) So happy that DOL is already so successful (and since it's ep.one Charray hasn't even shown up yet!) And i agree with the rest of you, Charray would be so good in a modern comedy thing as wife and hubby. infatuated.gif Actually, i don't care what they're in....just as long as they're TOGETHER!! 1.gif

By the way, i just found this article: http://ol.mingpao.com/cfm/star5.cfm?File=2...saa01/maa1h.txt
and they're saying on the TVB boards for DOL, Charmaine fans and Myolie fans are having a big fight over who is better. I got so mad when i read some of the stuff Myolie fans have said about Charmaine! It was so rude and mean and hurtful. I just wish people would let it go already; Charmaine won Best Actress last year, it happened, it's done, it's decided. Why can't Myolie fans just let go...or at least don't go badmouthing other people's idols online. *sigh* I hate these forum fights. So pointless and stupid. Rather talk about Charray instead! thumbsup.gif

Can't help but come up with a little interpretation as to why Charm isn't in the MV... 1.gif

Ray: Hmmm...if i chose my Charmie as the lead female in my first MV it would be really obvious to the press since we were so incredibly compatible in DOL already. buahaha.gif And besides, there's no intimate/sweet/romantic scenes in this MV. I'll choose a random actress just for this one and save a SPECIAL song just for my Charmie! Buahahahhahah!

Charray Foreverrrrrr! laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
ralne dr0ps
Thank you dawnlight for clip 43!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smile.gif I loved it!! I'm so glad Ray finally found out the truth about the baby T-T Charm deserved that. biggrin.gif


And I must agree with you bittersweet =/ I hate those hate/fight forums. I just don't understand why fans waste their energy hating, and finding things to hurt the artist they dislike. And like you said, what's happened has already happened, it's not as if their bickering and continuous belittlements are going to change the fact that Charmaine has already won the awards last year. ><

So yes, we should just focus on CHarray biggrin.gif
Jupi
oki guys I haven't go on my vacation yet I will do it tomorrow morning so I won't be here for 4 days or more don't know really but I'm sure this theard will be active as it's like now and I will try to catch up all the post and information u guys will leave here.

babysports
Nice to see u here again. I wonder when u will update your fanfic ^^

kare_bear
First of all i want to welcome u to this theard maybe u have post here for awhile but I haven't seen u before so just want to say hi =)
Haha I don't think that ray is dating linda if I should be honest I don't think that they was so cute or have a great chemistry in HOG, Charray is way better and they chemistry between this couple is amazing yeah.gif
Do u mean shehsheh.com? well don't know how to tell u how to reg. what kind of problem do u have?

bittersweet05
yeah the mandarin version of DOL is 58 eps so the ending will be out tomorrow. Even if I have watch the mandarin version I steel will watch the canto version I really like to listen to their real voice. Hahaha yeah I think that too, this couple will be loved by the audience and more and more ppl will support this couple.
Don't get mad at myolies supporters, I know that it's hard to do it but if we start argue with them then it will be just worst let them say and write what they want. In our heart and other audience heart they know who are better and who deserv the award.
Hahaha u are so sweet ^^ well we hope for a charray MV later on.

dawnlight
Well then we must wait till rays birthday and see what charm will give him. Haha u are so right about charray I mean charm is better for him then linda or bernice, Ray have mention it before that he was afraid that Linda was very western that they can't comunicate but it turn out that she was some kind of chinese so it was easier to work and so on. he also said that he like chinese girls more then western wink.gif And one more thing that I want to add is charm think the same she likes chinese guys not western guys =P and one more thing again both charray want to focus on their career and just want to date when they have time =P
dawnlight
bittersweet05, heehee I like your interpretation of why Charm isn't in the MV lols it's so sweet! Yeah, he is saving a very very special loving song for his Charmie infatuated.gif

And about those unreasonable fans of Myolie, just forget them. They have nothing better to do and hold on to grudges even though Charm didn't do anything to them or their Myolie. It's not like Charm stole the awards off Myolie's hand. Myolie didn't even deserve to be nominated in the top five since her portrayal in TGWL is so overacted and exagerated! (so is her portrayal as Bing Yee in DOL for that matter). That's just my opinion and I don't mean any offense to Myolie. Just that she need more improvement to reach Charm's level. I think those Myolie's fans are just jealous and sour losers! n_thumbdown.gif I think Charm's fans are much more refine and have higher class. We rather focus our energy on things we love and enjoy talking about, like our lovely, perfect Charray! thumbsup.gif

raine dr0ps, you are welcome. Yeah, it's so great that Charray are together now isn't it? (in DOL adn maybe in real life too wink.gif)

Jupi, once again I hope you will enjoy your vacation! I will try to be active here since I'm not going on any vacation soon lols
Linda know more Chinese than Bernice (atleast she can read) but still westernize. I'm glad you mentioned that both Ray and Charm like traditional Chinese for their partner. They are perfect for each other I tell you!

Oh, about those fans posting hate messages, being rude and bash other actresses/actors etc. I am so used to it as they are everywhere in almost every forum. The fewcsafe sites include as our little Charray haven here, shehsheh.com, kuangaitvb.com, raymond forrest, goodtaste etc. That's why I stopped going to those other forums. It's just a waste of time and energy to argue with other fans. We should just concentrate on appreciating our Charray as well as the drama series. As a reminder, I think some comments in our posts here are kinda very close to the borderline loh. I know when we are very excited, we can very easily go a little beyond. So just remind ourselves every now and then to be more careful and just concentrate on how we love our Charray and discuss the characters instead of getting personal.

I just watched the Charray wedding scene, I was so touched and I cried. I am so happy for them. AFter so much pain and misunderstanding, they could finally be together. Just couldn't express how happy I am. I am happy to see that all the guests there Sheren, Daimen, Michael and Liu King San are very touched and truly happy for them. Forget those cunning and stubborn people lah. What is important is that 2 lovers can finally be united. Bravo!!

Are u speaking of da wedding scene in ep 47?? I hope so. Coz i'm really hoping to see their wedding thumbsup.gif

myhelen
Thank you Blu.Monkee so much for posting the MV link. That MV has many of the memorable Charray scenes. Great song too! Love it! Thank you again!

I jsut wish there are more Charray scenes in DOL. I heard that the cast has filmed a lot of footage and when the editors edit the footage to the final version, a lot of Charray scenes and younger generation scenes were cut out to put the focus on the "older generation" like Daimen, Michael Miu etc. I am not saying that they only cut Charray scenes, and I am sure that everyone has some scenes cut out, I am just a little disappointed because I have always thought that Charray is the main line here, and should have more screen time. I know for a grand production, it is hard to get all the screen time on just a couple artistes, but just think back In the Era of Threshold, Gallen and Louis have dorminated the series, so it is something that could be done. In cold blood warm heart, Chilam, Gallen, Jessica and Nadia have very dorminant roles too.....Oh well, I just wanted this series to be a Charray classic so bad.

I agree the TVB themevid is really cool, and it really shows how much time, money and effort TVB has put into the serie. I have no doubt anymore that DOL will get much better ratings than Heart Of Greed. In my opinion, HOG was actually a pretty crappy production, everything was rushed, and storylines were underdeveloped. The only redeeming factor was Ray but as you all know, he died - not to mention the fact that he was coupled with a lousy "actress" Linda Chung! When you watch his scenes with her and compare with his scenes with Charmaine there's a world of difference. It really matter if your opposing actor/actress can act or not, and if you have chemistry and that goes for on-screen romances as well as non-romantic relationships. Like Raymond has great chemistry with Jessica, Damien and Gigi make them a much more believable family!


I agree with advo. Ray's scene with Linda in HOG is so much different with his scenes with Char biggrin.gif His scenes with Char always look so perfect & da chemistry is always so perfect. I don't mean only in DOL but in all previous series dat they hav been on biggrin.gif

That was a sweet video. I haven't seen this one yet. I've seen all the videos. Thanks for posting.

kare_bear, I think you quoted the wrong person. You meant to thanks Blu.Monkee for posting up the MV right? I would like to thanks him/her too. I'm loading the video now to watch! thumbsup.gif

I wish there are more Charray scenes too. It's seem like the "success" with HOG made TVB think that viewers like seeing the veterans more than the younger generation. But I beg to differ! I thought Virginia Lok said that DOL is to promote Charray more mah. Oh well, I think viewers will still deem Charray memorable even with their limited screentime since whenever they appear, we always get satifactory results (do you know what I mean?) I just love seeing Charray onscreen! I haven't watch the Cantonese version yet, but I hope there are more Charray scenes than the Mandarin version.

I just came home from volunteering and i was like 'let's go check on my beloved Charray haven!' WOW, everyone is so active!! We get a new page every day while some other forums get a new page like every two months. And we're on PART TWO. =) I'm so happy Charray is gaining such a huge fanbase! And i'm confident it'll just increase once people get to see DOL. yeah.gif

I agree with dawnlight that HOG is overrated. It's like War and Beauty; every year there's this new series to rave about. I watched HOG and i must say it's a decent series, a lot of strong actors and actresses but the majority of the screentime belonged to the veterans. The thing is, it has been established and agreed that veterans CAN act because they have so much more experience, so i think instead of promoting the older generations, they should give more screentime to the younger generation because they're the ones who need the experience and promotion. And even though Ray's acting was (as usual) superb in HOG, he didn't have a lot of screentime nor did he get to develop his character (they basically only singled on his relationship with Linda). Unlike DOL, you could see his character change and mature, going through difficult times and learning from them. Also, maybe because i'm a die-hard Charray fan, but i felt that Ray and Linda's chemistry just wasn't as strong as Charm and Ray's. If you watched HOG, think back to their kissing scenes. You could tell Linda was uncomfortable and the kiss seemed kinda forced or scripted (heehee laugh.gif well, it IS scripted...but you know what i mean!) and unatural, UNLIKE Charray's MANY kissing scenes in DOL. clapping.gif clapping.gif

By the way, did DOL ended yesterday in Mainland? T_T
myhelen
I am really disappointed at CCTV. I have seen the filming location pictures of a scene where Charmaine is comforting Ray due to his project didn't get approved. I have just watched that episode, but that scene was CUT OUT!!!! Just disappeared completely! I think this is just an example. They have probably cut out many other scenes. Why do they have to cut the Charray scenes leh....My poor Charray.....I hope TVB can add back some Charray scenes.

We should let TVB know how much we love Charray......maybe they can do something. I was talking to a friend just now and she reminded me that very often those moive DVD's have different cuts/editions of the same movie, something like "director's cut" "Uncensored cut" etc. etc. Maybe TVB can have an alternate cut if the demand is high enough? Oh well, just some wild thoughts due to the huge disappointment I have.......
