Synopsis

First TV series with immigration work
Top confidential of Hong Kong’s border security

Immigration Department is guarding the door of Hong Kong, and seeks out to prevent doubtful identities and criminals from entering Hong Kong. It only not creates a highly demanding task for immigration officer and also raises a further question – how will they make identity verification as accurate as possible?

FONG TSUN KIT (Roger Kwok) becomes friends with two other candidates CHENG PAK YU (Raymond Cho)   and YIP ON KEI (Yoyo Mung) while applying for a post in the Immigration Department. YU is an aggressive person. He later moves to the Police Force and is promoted to Senior Inspector of Regional Crime Unit. While investigating a murder case, he realizes that the new gang leader WU KIT SUM (Kenny Wong) has killed somebody because of KIT’s wife. It totally turns KIT’s life upside down. As a good friend, KEI helps KIT take care of his son after a failed relationship with YU. When two hearts meet, an extraordinary link spontaneously draws them together. Meanwhile, AU SHUN FUNG (Patrick Tang) appreciates KIT’s ability very much and recommends him to MAK KAI MING (John Chiang), Head of Investigation Section. KIT gains approval and he is determined to start anew. While carrying out an investigation on a fraud syndicate, he comes upon his missing wife and uncovers her long-hidden identity.

I just finished watching episode 10 and I love the series so far! Rosy Business is really exciting to watch and I wish the whole series was released already so I could finish it off . Let’s hope the story keeps it up!

This series  reminds me of  Sweetness in the Salt,  how a rich business man (played by Ngo Wah) is trying to run his rice business, selling rice (rather than salt) at reasonable/affordable prices so people would not have to suffer from hunger. Adding to that, the household consists of a large family, where he has four wives (including Sheren Tang) and three sons (including Ron Ng). The part predictable and used a lot in so many other TVB series is knowing that if the man died, everything will get out of control and the other scheming jealous wives would start causing trouble to fight for their son in carry on their father’s business.  Adding to that, we have Wayne  who (works at their rice warehouse) causes so many problems  as well.  For the sake of her husband,  family business, and that the poor have food to eat, Sheren carries on the heavy burden..

Despite this typically seeming plot, Wayne’s addition to the story like makes it all refreshing and new.

My favourite character so far would have to be Sheren’s character ‘Bo Kei’ (Is that the same name as Selena’s role in Easterly Showers?) She’s really likable and you can really sympathize with her.  She’s a very clever woman, and you just know that she will eventually get through all her obstacles etc despite having so many people going against her. I’m also really relieved and comforted that she has Ron by her side to help her (Her character somehow reminds me of  ‘Hor Ma’ from Moonlight Resonance haha). I enjoy watching her with Ngo Wah (such a loving couple!!) and the trust he places on her. After all these years they have separated, they’ve always had each other in their hearts…Unlike in Sweetness in the salt where Steven betrays Tavia from the start; Ngo Wah’s character does not betray Sheren.

Should I be relieved that Wayne is around to help Sheren? Not quite! lol His character is so unpredictable and unreliable! He constantly changes his mind- doesn’t care about the consequences, speaks his mind; and challenges things. He causes so much trouble too and his mouth is pretty filthy… The only comforting part is that you can tell he is a good guy from the inside…and you just wish and hope that he would trust Sheren and help her/let her help him (esp in the part when Ron’s brother gets kidnapped). He went through so many hardships in his life- being an orphan, poor,  starved,  beaten,  lived through droughts etc; and has been constantly being bullied at the city side.

At first I hated how he killed the dog (it’s gross!) and his attitude towards the dog’s owner etc, but then when he was beaten up and humiliated- forced to act like a dog with a bone in his mouth, I really pitied him!! I get especially moved in the scenes where he cries and reflects back on how the granny brought him up and wanted the best for him etc. All he wants is to bring back rice back to his hometown so that they wouldn’t have to starve and could live better =( He could also be quite scary to watch and sometimes the things he does/says makes you cringe because it’s so annoying. I really like watching his character when he is all nice though and I look forward to seeing more Wayne and Sheren’s interactions and their relationship which is based on trust and respect,  grow.

I loved the confrontation scene when Sheren is forced to hand back the ‘house keys. It was awesome lol’

The story is really exciting to watch, and I’ve caught up on all the episodes really quickly lol Anticipating more! Sheren and Wayne’s acting is just awesome.

Anyone else watching it and liking it? 😀 Any scene you particularly liked? Characters you hated?

At the moment I haven’t started watching any new series, so I don’t really have any new thoughts to share ^^; ……BUT!

I found this half drafted post sitting around since November last year! XD So I’ve decided to be a good girl and finish it off (have a few from some other older series too). I figured while I STILL have The Four Banner up *cough*cough*~ it would still fit in nicely, yeh? haha..ok….onto the post!

—

What is the fate of the couples? Do they end up together?
**Warning: Spoiler!! [All my posts contain spoilers, but this post covers scenes in the final episode, so an extra warning message ^__^]

I have to say the romantic aspect of the series does lack a bit. A little disappointed with its development but I guess it’s not the main focus. Nevertheless it did interest me at first to watch how the Four Great Constables will each have a woman in their lives; how they would meet and how their own little love plot will unfold. haha..I mean, how could you watch a TVB series with cool male characters but no love interests for them right lol? [That was until I found out Kate was paired up with Raymond >_<]*cough*cough* anyways…

When we meet the Four, the girls and see their respective personalities, I had a few predictions in how their love story will turn out. Two girls for one guy sounds like it would make things interesting too XD (or the other way around). It doesn’t look like it would happen in this series though lol

Raymond (Heartless) will fall in love with the enemy’s assassin/spy Kate and change into a nicer person, learning to care about the people around him. In the process of deceiving his feelings, Kate will eventually fall in love with Raymond for real.

Kenneth (Metal Hand )- the good boy, will have a softy spot for the spoilt Selena who will also change into a nicer person because of him.
Sammul (Life Chaser) – the one who never settles down to one woman eventually would after meeting Vivi.

Ron (Cold Blood) will start to have emotions

My predictions actually weren’t that off the real thing lol I guess these ideas have been used before so they weren’t that fresh or new.

Episodes: 25
Release date: 4 May 2009

Synopsis
Shrewish husband V.S. Shrewd wife
A bond between justice and affection

Career-minded magistrate KO HEI MAN (Jessica Hsuan) gains full support from her loyal husband KOT KWOK KWONG (Sunny Chan) so that she is able to concentrate fully on her works. At court, MAN strongly believes that everyone is equal before the law and she tackles every challenge confidently. At home, she never bothers about the household duties which are all taken by husband and any complaints filed by mother-in-law. MAN just takes things for granted but fate continuously to convince her that law cannot be applied to every situation.

MAN feels sympathized with HO SAU SAU (Joyce Tang) who suffers from slight mental disorders. Trying to help, MAN allows her to come into her family but this creates an opportunity for SAU to replace MAN’s role as a wife and a mother completely. KWONG is seriously injured during a car accident. His relative KOT TAK WAN ( Johnson Lee) lectures KWONG how to fight against MAN and this leads to serious communication breakdown between the couple. Swindler HO SHI FU (Benz Hui) appears in MAN’s life as a hopeless villain from the lower class but he is in fact the father of a senior official.

“Just Love II” is a story about law and human nature. How would the couple tide over the difficulties?
