Hong Kong TVB dramas.

Love it, hate it, you can never live without it.

Honestly, TVB dramas can be corny, geram-ing, predictable, very "typically-HK-drama", and does give out wrong messages at times... but...

I'm someone who loves watching tee-vee, but asking me to finish a Korean drama or Taiwan drama is just plain difficult. I'll procrastinate and can take like... one year or more to finish a 16-episode Korean drama (ask my cousin - if she hadn't pushed me i would never have finish the drama).
Yes, my mind easily changes i guess. Especially since Korean dramas are so typical, it's pretty much the same thing over-and-over-again that i get bored easily (of course, certain drama .

Hong Kong TVB dramas on the other hand... somehow or rather i can easily sit through the whole thing without the need to "procrastinate" watching it. Don't ask me why, i don't know why either. Perhaps because i've been watching it since i was a little girl. In fact, i picked up my Cantonese from Hong Kong drama and movies!


My family are Hong Kong TVB drama lovers, so as expected, we subscribed to Astro-On-Demand and get to watch TVB dramas the same time it broadcasts in HK. Lols, i sound like i'm advertising for them!

But anyways, currently they are broadcasting 溏心風暴之家好月圓 (Moonlight Resonance) and 當狗愛上貓 (When a Dog Loves a Cat), and i make sure i never miss a single episode (i'm very free anyways, it'll be "difficult" even if i purposely want to miss any episode). Well, i don't need to worry anyways since they keep on rebroadcasting the same episode until the series ended (thanks to Astro-on-Demand), so i don't need to worry.
But it gets so annoying when i have to watch the same episode for at least FIVE TIMES. Gosh.

MOVING ON!
Anyways, HK TVB drama can be typical and even corny at times, but you just keep watching.

For example Moonlight Resonance, family drama and all... annoying that you feel like killing some of the characters because they are just plain bad, but i'm still watching it. Lols, it's an interesting and good drama overall i guess!

When Dog Loves a Cat... need i say more? The dogs are so adorable inside! But certain parts about the animals are so badly mis portrayed they give out wrong information!
For example:
Just because you spayed your male dog, doesn't mean that it'll be a "coward" just because it lost its "manhood"! The drama showed this big male German-Shepperd being afraid of another smaller dog after it was spayed.
This is so giving out a wrong message, because the public should be encouraged to spay their pets instead, to lessen the number of spays and promote responsible ownership! But after this drama, who knows what most people will think. Most Asians are already very "conservative" and not well-informed about spaying, but after this who knows how it'll influence the HK public? Especially since most HKies watches HK dramas don't they?
Seriously.
I'm all up for spaying pets unless you intend to breed them, because really, the world doesn't need any more cats or dogs. Have you ever been to SPCA or PAWS? There are tons of homeless animals there, it just hurts you when you leave knowing you might never see some the next time you come, because the numbers of strays just keeps coming every month there just isn't enough space.

Ok, i guess i lost my point on what i was going to say initially but... anyways... i actually wanted to point the fact on Moonlight Resonance.
I usually avoid any drama where there is a lot of "family drama" and conflict, but some how or rather, i'm still watching it now.

I guess it's because it's HK drama after all (^^ )!


Ok, i totally lose it. Good night!
