So I've assumed everyone here has watched alot of TVB series ever since they were young. I was just wondering in which series did you think was the culprit or the one actor/actress who ruined the entire series for you. If he/she wasn't in that series, it could've been better or even a hit.

Just write in this format if you prefer:

Series:
Culprit:
Reason or Why?

One of my choices is

Series: Revolving Doors of Veageance
Culprit: Elaine Yiu
Reason: Because her acting was bad and for some reason, she looked like an innocent rabbit that turns evil and helpless in this series.

Series: Always Ready
Culprit: Charmaine and Linda
Reason: They both annoy me in some way probably because of their tone and Charmaine's squeaky laughing *cringe*

Moonlight Resonace: So far on episode 34, I find Kate annoying. I know her character is supposed to be like that .. but she's worse than Sa Yi. >.< She ruined the series for me. xD

Exactly what I wanted to say-cries far far far to much-like a baby !!! And bung in Bosco too...I love Bosco, but felt his character was terrible - a weak man who can't decide once a for all who to be with, kept stringing both along and giving them false hope........yawns....

Series: Safe Guards
Culprit: Elaine Yiu
Reason or Why? What uptowngirl mentioned. She crying skills was just plain horrible. Her character is a good natured person with a timid side, but the way she showed it made me cringed. I just gave up on this show and only happened to watch the ending. i do reckon she has improved greatly as shown in the 2008 series she's in.

Series: Forensics Heroes 2
Culprit: Charmaine Sheh
Reason or Why? I found her acting very bland here and failed to portrayed the role of a cop. Not only did she lack the presences of the cop, but as well as the 'cool' factor her character has. When she's not on duty as a cop, she was much better and more watchable. I also gave up watching majority of this. It's quite sad since I really enjoyed the first one a lot.


Will add more later.

series: MR
culprit: raymond lam
reason: too goody shoes character. made it very fake.

HOG
Linda Chung
Reason: Dosen't know how to act. Cried too much. Tries too hard to be perfect and believes that the world revolves around her. Just because he's her boyfriend dosen't give her the right to go into his house w/o permission, dig through his mail, trespass into his locked email, search his phone, etc.

Moonlight Resonance:
Linda Chung
Reason: I really don't see the point in her character except for TVB to try to bring up the Raymond-Linda hype again. Her acting has yet to improve and she can't cry. With other characters, when u see them cry, you're supposed to cry along. But with her, when she cries and reads her script, you want to throw something at the screen.

Gigi Lai: Always the culprit in TVB series. I can't stand her acting - and most of all, her asthma like crying.

Myolie Wu: Also always the culprit. Actually, TVB turned her into the culprit for my TV series. She hasn't improved at all since the days of GF. Her expressions are always the same. Along with the characters that she plays.

agreed for all three, except I would just skip all of Linda's scenes(unless Michelle's there), which is pretty much half the episode sometimes.
Gigi Lai certainly did not deserve Best Actress for War and Beauty, it was clear that Sheren Tang should have won that year, but I guess she wasn't signed with TVB...Gigi's crying looks terrible no matter what.

to add to my list:
Kate Tsui - On the First Beat / MR
She seems so stiff and can't really act. She is supposed to be evil in MR, but comes off more as annoying than evil. You just can't get yourself to feeling for her character, it is NOT convincing at all. I could see that she was doing something evil, but never believed it. She sounded more annoying than she usually would be in other series too. Not even going to try watching Speech of Silence after seeing the trailer.

Under the canopy of Love
Mimi Lo = the way she talks is so annoying, her acting was really bad!

Wow .. I have a list for this.

Forensic Heroes 2

Charmaine Sheh

Someone have said that. I think nowadays whatever series she is in , she try to make her expression look as pretty as possible but it will destroy some emotional scene. The result is actually we can get better scene if she doesnt care too much about her own face. In this series she totally dun look like a policewoman.

Moonlight Resonance

Again ppl hav say it. she really cry too much and the problem is her crying is not nice at all. Sometimes i feel it is too fake.

A few Series
Elaine Yiu acting is really spoiler. I think she improve a bit in A journey of life but she is really terrible in safe guards and RDOV.Her expression is annoying

Moonlight Resonance
Kate Tsui

She is terrible in a few but IMO her acting in MR is 1 of the worst i have seen compare to other series.

What i can say is something wrong with these leading actress of TVB. Those supporting actress also act better than them.

Series: FH2
Artiste: Charmaine Sheh

Her acting is pretty bland when she acts as the cool Madam Ma but she just comes across as arrogant and emotionless zombie. Also I hate the way that the series just seems to revolves around her character when it's supposed to be a series about the forensic team.

Series: Most of Fala's series

Her acting doesn't bug me and she didn't really spoil the series, just that I wish that I didn't have to listen to her annoying accent.

^ I agree. Charmaine, I forgot about her. I don't know why, but I REALLY didn't like her acting there. She seemed bland and most of the time looked blank. People say she looked 'cool' but I don't know .. I didn't like her there. I already wrote about Kate haha, in MR. Just improved in SOS, then suddenly a villian role in MR. I am starting to dislike her. :]

For me its Kate Tsui in Moonlight Resonance. I was so annoyed when she appeared, its not just her character its also her acting.

Series: FH2
Culprit: Charmaine Sheh
Reasons: same as clesias.

Series: MR
Culprit: Linda Chung + Raymond
Reasons: Even though I'm a semi-fan of Linda, I didn't quite like her in this series. She cries way too much hence like most posters, I find it rather annoying. And I'm probably the only one who couldn't stand Ray in this. Goody roles don't seem to suit him.. he's better off acting cool and annoying + (pissing people off) XD

Linda is freaking annoying!! with her crying attitude whenever see her cry i feel soooOOOOoooooo disturbing...........

Kate Tsui- Her acting after so many years is still like a newbie.

Myolie Wu-I don't like how she tends to be over bubbly sometimes. Looks very unnatural.

Linda Chung- Yikes, her crying...need I say more

Yeap, i guess many criticise that before, but have you actually look it at another view of her?
Under that circumstances, how can she not give any extremes feelings (like crying). I guess is perhaps that she cried too much that she was voted by viewers the top hated role for HOG2, but i find it quite unfair to her!

Tavia, who was in the same series, had just as much crying scenes, and she was seen by everyone else, having great improvement and best actress worthy. In fact, she won the praises of the audience AND the veteran actors/actresses.

So I don't really feel that we are being "unfair" to Linda by just basing our thoughts on her crying. If she was able to deliver her crying scenes for what its worth, I believe that many will be singing praises of her also.

CULPRIT? I have 3 CULPRIT artists that I won't never watch their series. Just because I really really feel that I can't stand them. Maybe it's just my bias but can't help cuz just see their faces make my blood boil.

I agree with you. I choose to watch artists that I like to watch. Sometimes it is a pain in the ass, if there are artists I like in there, but also the artists I don't like in there.Linda and Kate are one of them I don't like to watch their series.

uptowngirlYou wrote what I wanted to! I love you for that, LOL=p

The Four
Kate Tsui
I think her acting is unnatural

La Femme Desperado
Kenneth Ma
His acting is a bit too overboard

series: The Brink Of Law
culprit: Kate Tsui
reason: due to poor act and just too annoying when she is with ron ng..I am pity Ron Ng with Kate Tsui when she wants to cry..but she just can't cry. Just kept shouting...I wonder what Ron Ng feels about Kate?

Series: TOB
Culprit: Tavia, Raymond
Reason: Her poor acting, lacking of expression and average look. Lacking of chemistry with Raymond Lam who looks bad in this.

Series: The W-Files
Culprit: Tavia, Yoyo Mung
Reason: Acting and bad scripted characters.

Series: La Femme Desperado
Culprit: Kenneth Ma
Reason: Wooden fake

Series: The Crackdown
Culprit: Niki Chow
Reason: Poor acting

Series: The Seventh day
Culprit: Natalie Tong
Reason: Poor acting

Series: Moonlight
Culprit: Tavia, Linda
Reason: Poor acting and they both cried too much. They look fake in crying scenes. Tavia is also too noisy to accept. Lacking of chemistry with Moses Chan.

Series: Catch Me Now
Culprit: Fala Chen
Reason: Stiff acting and no facial expression most of the time, couldn't feel the sadness when she was supposed to have a miscarriage? I was laughing so hard at her poor acting instead of feeling sad. There was no chemistry with the husband played by Joe Ma whatsoever.

Series: Heart of Greed/Moonlight
Culprit: Linda
Reason: Poor acting and cried too much that made her look like a mouse. Iono, she just looks like it. No chemistry with Moses, Raymond, or Bosco. She's like in her own little world and just totally disregard criticisms.

Series: Safe Guard
Culprit: Elaine Yiu
Reason: Her horrible acting made this great series unbearable. Had to skip over all her scenes and just watch Steven Ma and Wayne Lai. She didn't successfully portray any good qualities that were supposed to make Steven falling madly in love with her believable.

Series: Forensic Heroes 2
Culprit: Charmaine Sheh
Reason: Bland acting and lack emotions. She tried too hard to keep her face looking pretty that she looked like a wood throughout the series. Failed to bring out the aggressive nature of the police woman cause she wanted to appear beautiful onscreen.

Series: Heart of Greed
Culprit: Linda Chung's Seung Joi Sum
Reason: Trying to set acting aside, I came across this series expecting a big family feud over the estate and over the drama's and arguments over the family's fortune. Fortunately, I came across a series that consisted of 50% family and 50% Seung Joi Sum. It was like watching two different series in which I was forced into watching the other. I never came across finishing this series because the constant changes between two different plotlines became overly frustrating and became confusing for me because there will be constant cliffhangers because it needs to compensate for the other. If they wanted to show the story of Seung Joi Sum to THAT level then it should be made into another series, not mix it into one in which we are faced to watch because it also involved the family coming back soon during an episode. If I wanted to watch a series that is about a love story then I'll watch When a dog loves a cat. I dont mind a subplot, but that wasn't a "sub" at all, it really was a second storyline serving the same amount of screen time as the so called "main" plot.

I sooOooo SoOooo agree with <Rayolie_4ever> on this topic. I have watched all of these series and those characters do need some improvement in acting, crying, and what so ever! they are make the series look bad and annoy to continue watching.

series: Moonlight Res.
culprit: Linda's character
reason: cries tooO freakin much!!!, almost every scene toward the end, all my god everytime i watch her part i just want to skip it, but i can't because i want to know what is going on. BUT it is so annoying. her crying scene is unNNnnecessary dude.

i also agree with <aodinia>, you are right. i didn't even notice it until you talked about. wow thanks for bringing that up. Linda's character do make the series hard to watch because of her weak characteristics. i just want to slap her couple of time to wake her up dude. sorry, its just her character that is annoying. i really like Linda in "A Journey Called Life" with Steven Ma though, she is really good it there.

No, you're not the only one. I thought Raymond was horrible in MR. I LOL'd whenever he cried or was angry because it was comical. He should stick to his 'cool' roles.

Myolie Wu. I like her. But the only serieses she was good in were WOIL1/2 and that cake series I forgot the name of. She does the funny, humorous roles fine but anything serious and she looks like a joke. A really bad joke.

Anybody with an accent also ruins it. The usual culprits are Bernice Liu, Fala Chen (although she has improved in MR), Vivien Yeo, Kate Tsui. Gigi Lai's raspy breathing is also annoying, but it's often not enough to completely ruin the series.

Series- Safeguards, Gentle crackdown 2
Culprit- Elaine Yiu, Yumiko

Sigh, with Wayne and Steven Ma the two series would have been perfect. But then the two female leads who couldn't act properly killed the show.

i agree with equitatus, ELANIE and yumiko both had poor acting. elaine more though.
seeing her scenes in safe guards just made me so agitated that it wasnt funny anymore. ]:<

LINDA CHUNG in all her series. (apart from GOL becasue her character is annoying and shes annoying so they fit perfectly) especially in the ancient one with benny chan and sunny chan her happiness just made me want to bash the tv like theres no tomoro. and MR her crying was sooooo FAKE. and how she just uses raymond when bosco doesnt want her, poor ray.

KATE TSUI in MR. fake to the max.

CHARMAINE SHEH, too ugly for me to look straight into her face, her presence just wrecks every series that shes in. especially when she cries/acts innocent.

Series: Journey of Life
Culprit: Linda Chung
Reason or Why? Cos shes a sh*t actor and I just don't like her, really ruined the series the way she acted, only watched it because of Steven Ma.


I think everyone almost everyone agrees that Linda Chung, was crap! can't stand the scenes with her crying! Too much! Although I think the whole of Moonlight Resonance wasn't as good as Heart of Greed probably because I had too much expection of it to be Brilliant, although my reason is the characters, too weird and wrong actors/actress' wrong characters.


I only watched the first week of Gem of Life, but Ada is really starting to annoy me, far too weird a voice!

Series - Moonlight Resonance
Culprit - Kate Tsui

Series - the Fou
Culprit - Kate Tsui

Well, her acting sucks and she always try to act innocent. =/

owhh..and Linda too. she cries ALOT in MR. My god.

LOL, it seems alot of ppl hated linda, charmaine and kate, haha

serie: gentle crackdown two:
culprit: Yumiko cheng
why? cos she is bad at acting? should really stick with singing[which in my opinion, is average anyway] or take more acting classes.

and yea, probably dats about it. i dun really mind crying scenes, lol.
i can live with it, it wont make me stop watching a serie
same with accents

wow there is al of hate around haha but this one is special

Last one standing

Kevin's younger sister lol her acting was really bad i wont name her name as i real repesct lol but you all know who i mean

Agree abt Linda Chung.
Gigi Lai. She's ok in some series but definitely not in war & beauty. yep, the right description - asthma like crying. Sheren was robbed of the award!!




Totally agree. I skipped quite a lot of hog coz of her. could not stand her.

Series: Forensic Heroes 2
Culprit: Queena Chan as the last murderer
Why: Every time when she speaks with that shrill voice and tries to show her so-called 'anger', I was ready to throw my remote towards the TV screen. :| And what is up with the bombs she randomly uses to attack Charmaine and Kevin?

Series: Moonlight Resonance
Culprit: Linda Chung (Yu So Chau)
Why: Bad characterization of the weak Yu So Chau. I actually liked her in Heart of Greed, but she's completely useless here. What a "Dai Ham Bao."

Series: Moonlight Resonance
Culprit: *Gets shot for this* Louise Lee Sze Kei as HorMa
Why: Am I the only one that get's annoyed by her character? She is too preachy here about the 'golden' values! Granted, she does preach in HOG too, but she doesn't over do it. LSK is a great actress, I cannot stand her HorMa.

Series: Moonlight Resonance
Culprit: *Legasp* Raymond Lam
Why: Don't get me wrong, Raymond is my favorite TVB actor. I think he's too much of a goody-good shoes and a flat character in general. I prefer his other roles.

Series: Last One Standing
Culprit: Kevin's Sister
Why: Terribly annoying and is quite awful to watch when she cries.

There is this one thing that I never really liked about Myolie Wu, though she's okay.
Kate Tsui is meh.

I realise that everyone only pinpoint at actors/actress...
So what about the scripts and story progress itself? I find some of them (some shows) boring that i don't even have the mood to watch it further...

But Hong Kong actors and actress are considered quite good already, compare them with Singapore ones, you will still realise alot of heaven and earth difference!

the gem of life:
Florence Kwok
Gigi Lai and Moses Chan, They're characters were so annoying and it didn't help the series.

i think I hated Linda's character in HOG and MR, too annoying, but i actually liked here in TGOL, made the series more interesting.

Series: The Academy
Culprit: Tavia
Why: Her crying was so bad in that serie, I just wish she could shut up! Although, she has some improvements in her later series but still not by much. She is considered to be a veteran b/c she had filmed alot of series but sadly, her acting is just better than beginner.

Series: TGOL
Culprit: Gigi Lai
Why: I never like Gigi's crying. She seem to over-acted all the time. Her other series, beside crying, she actually did alright but in TGOL, it really show she's not versatile.

Series: Always Ready
Culprit: Charmaine and Linda
Why: Both acting were way below average. However, considering Linda was a new comer. Its forgiveable.

for me, shirley yeung ruins the series most of the time. she's really pretty, but i can't stand her acting. she's way too exaggerated. her hand actions, her voice, her eyes, the way she speaks, etc etc.

RODV is definitely elaine just cuz she was soooooooo annoying and couldnt act..and to this day i still hate watching her in anything just cuz she was so bad in RODV...good thing she got ran over by that bus. =p

The Gem Of Life: Florence Kwok, Gigi Lai and Moses Chan (Oh the Serendipity couple, A match made in heaven )

Not against the Actors\Actresses, but their roles and the way the writers wrote their character.
Argh.

Katie Tsui and Samuel chan kind of annoys me in the series, I think both of them are pretty bad at acting and they never really get to do anything interesting in the shows.

Series: Revolving Doors of Vengeance
Culprit: Elaine Yiu as Chloe
Reason: BAD ACTING. you can say that the bad character is the scriptwriter's fault but acting wise, only got the actress to blame. Her acting really sucks and this made me dislike her character more. Maybe if someone else portrayed Chloe I wouldn't have disliked Chloe so much.

Series: MR
Culprit: Kate Tsui/ Bosco Wong / Linda Chung / Raymond Lam
Reason: Kate's character was really annoying. I still don't get why she kinda fell for Moses at 1st sight. After falling for Moses she became evil and blahblahblah. It's annoying when she quarrels and act innocent. Bosco's character was just very boring and basically he's in the show just because they needed someone to come in between Raymond and Linda. Totally no chemistry with Linda. I also disliked Linda's character cos of her plain relationship with Bosco and the fact that she cries like half her screen time?! Raymond's character is just wayyyyy too good it's so impractical and it really annoys me.

Series: Gem of Life
Culprit: Eddie Kwan as Derek
Reason: I really disliked this character. He kept coming in between Moses & Gigi and basically he just annoys me most of the time.

Series: Brink of Law
Culprit: Kate Tsui
Reason: Bad acting. Her character was so bland. I guess Kate didn't portray the character well enough. I'm sure other actress would have added more life to that character if they got it.

Series: Forensic Heroes
Culprit: Linda Chung as Lam Ding Ding
Reason: This character was so annoying. At that time Linda's acting wasn't so good yet which also made me dislike Lam Ding Ding more.

Series: E.U
Culprit: Kaki Leung and Sammul Chan
Reason: Kaki's acting is really bad and her character is just annoying. For the 1st 2 series Sammul's character was not bad but for E.U he kind of annoy me.

There's many more but I can't think of it at the moment. I'm not pin-pointing at any artiste but yea, sometimes they just fail to portray the character well or the character is just too annoying.

The Gem of Life - Gigi Lai
Her scenes really ruined it for me badly.

My list is pretty much the same as everyone else's. Also, the reasons are more or less the same for each actor/series

Series: Revolving Doors of Vengeance
Culprit: Elaine Yiu
Reason or Why?: Ideally, an actor should be attractive AND be able to act. If you can't be both, at least be one or the other. She's unattractive AND a horrible actress. Early on when she was "crying" I actually thought it was a joke. Turns out that's her idea of acting/crying. The director and whoever hired are partly to blame. Also, if you're a bad actress, you should stick to roles that are easier to play and don't strain your limited skills so much. It's not just painful for you as the performer, but also torture for viewers.

Series: The Academy
Culprit: Fiona Sit
Reason or Why?: A perfect example of why you shouldn't get a lead role just bc you know someone. She cannot act and worse of all, thinks she's cute enough to get away with it. Sounds like Cantonese Disney princess drunk. Her voice and the way she talked drove me crazy!! Plus, she slurred so badly I could barely understand what she was saying.

Series: On the First Beat
Culprit: Kate Tsui and Joey Yung
Reason or Why?: KT for being so loud I had to turn the volume down when she talked. I know she's supposed to be a tomboy but screaming at the top of your lungs and bouncing around like a lunatic does not = acting. Joey Yung is strange-looking and the whole time I felt like she wasn't acting out a character, she was just being herself. These two made me miss Tavia Yeung Yi so much.

Series: Heart of Greed and Moonlight Resonance
Culprit: Linda Chung
Reason or Why?: No, I'm not in love with Raymond, I am not jealous of her, and I do not hate her. I just think that she is not ready to be female lead. Her crying is really unpleasant to watch but someone must think she's good at it because they keep making her cry! She's trying SO hard, yet I feel absolutely none of her pain, just a whole lot of annoyance. In both series, I actually wished she would die so I wouldn't have to suffer through the pathetic love triangles. Also, she has absolutely no chemistry with anyone- Raymond (she looked like she was holding her breath and forcing herself to kiss him which made me cringe), Bosco, Moses, her friends in HoG, her mom in MR. It's very awkward to watch. Her accent is distracting. I also think that her lack of Cantonese fluency inhibits her acting and chemistry with the other stars. Lastly, do people think she's pretty? Maybe she's just not my type bc I think her face is masculine looking.

Series: Triumph in the Skies, Master of Tai Chi
Culprit: Myolie Wu
Reason or Why?: When she first came out in TitS, I thought her character was developmentally delayed. But no, that was just her being cute and perky. Someone should have told her to tone it down because she almost always overacts. I think she's trying to make up for being not particularly attractive by creating more personality. It doesn't work for me and it's no coincidence that her best part in my opinion was Golden Faith, in which she DID play a developmentally delayed character!

Series: The Four
Culprit: Cilla Kung and Kate Tsui
Reason or Why?: I felt so sorry for the four male leads in this show. Actually, maybe not so much Kenneth Ma because Selena was ok, but the other 3 I don't know what they did to deserve such punishment. The 3 girls are unattractive and cannot act to save an ant (let alone a human life). I'm not even going to go into chemistry because there wasn't any. Kate Tsui took a potentially interesting, challenging, and dynamic role and turned it into an uncharismatic and unsympathetic one. I felt sorry for Ron and especially Raymond because they were trying really hard.

Series: Drive of Life
Culprit: Charmaine Sheh
Reason or Why?: She ruined an epic love story for me. I thought it was written very well but she didn't play it well- maybe because it's hard to act through 8lbs of makeup (they put on to make her look younger).

The Series : Burning Flame II
Culprit: Alex Fong Chun Sun
Reason: I just hate him cos hes a boring actor, Only watched this one cos its a sequel and I love Wong Hei

Mandy Cho in Guts of Man.

She can't act, cries so crappily and just really irritated me and got on my nerves SO much, and her with Ron and stuff just....nothing more to say.

Kate tsui in every series she plays...expically in heart of greed 2...i just cant stand her b**chy look... i try to avoid watching the series that she is in... i dun no y ppl like her...and now shes a singer...ewww

I really have to agree with you, I used to think Gigi like that too, but she is okay now. But for Linda and Myolie, OMG, Myolie is just so freaking annoying on every single of her series. She always acts so innocent, I only watch her in Drive of Life cuzz Charmaine was in it. I gave up watching any of her series. And for Linda, she can't act, she has the look but can't act. I thought she would improved, but sadly not.

I think she's so....cute!
