Thoughts:

I finally finish watching this..well not technically finish watching it. I kinda skipped the whole thing. So this is what happen, I was watching the series and it was quite enjoyable but after I read the spoiler, it killed me. I'm done watching this, there is no point to finish watching it. Cause the whole point I watched this was for Stevia. Cause after Sweetness in the Salt, everyone want a Stevia ending but we didn't get it and we all hoped that CS will provide us with a wonderful ending of Steven and Tavia. But we didn't get that either. So I just completely gave up. I kinda thought that the series was pointless and stupid too just like the title. I was pretty upset after I found out that they didn't end together. I stop watching it on episode 3 but then I started again and continue to ep 9? After wards I just gave up and watch the last episode. There is really nothing for me to write since I didn't finish watching it...

Can Love really be determined with Fate and Destiny? Can Fate really bring one's love? 

Well I thought that Fate can bring two individual together but does that really mean that the individual will dearly love each other? I don't think so, even though fate can bring two people together, it doesn't necessary mean that they will deeply love each other. At the end Chi Yat Po (Steven Ma) was the first one to see Twinkle (Tavia Yeung) but what did he do? He called out to her but she didn't hear him. After Yat Po saw her again in Disney Land what happen? He just let her go cause he saw Jeff (Michael Tse).  Jeff was really happy to see Twinkle but was Twinkle happy? She only gave a slight smile and said that "fate want me to pick you". But was she really happy? Does she even look happy? No she doesn't. Her eyes were a bit teary and was that really a happy smile? Was the teary eyes an happy eye? Not Really, she was pleased to see Jeff, but was that the person she really had in her heart. Twinkle believed that she needs to be with Jeff cause Fate lead her to see Jeff again in Disneyland. Cause she saw him first and he saw her. But if we switch it around. Going back to before, before they were in Disneyland. If Twinkle had heard Yat Po calling her in the street then that will be a real smile. Her teary eyes will be a happy teary eyes. Fate then will want Twinkle to end with Yat Po.  Deeply she was looking and intentionally hope that it was Yat Po not Jeff that had found her in Disneyland. Twinkle was being naive and  indecisive and just let fate choose it for her. She didn't really think about the love between the three she just let whatever destiny brings her. Twinkle should have chose whom she love the most not to let fate chose it for her. I can pretty sure to say that Twinkle and Jeff will not have a happy future together. So even though fate and destiny lead two individual together it doesn't necessarily mean that the two will deeply love each other. The next day Twinkle called Yat Po. He didn't pick up her call. But if Yat Po had picked up her call, would he had a chance with her? Maybe Twinkle called him to tell him that she is in Hong Kong and want to meet him. Twinkle and Chi Yat Po might have a chance together if Yat Po had picked up the call. Yat Po gave up like that cause he thought that Twinkle still like Jeff. He just assume that Twinkle like Jeff. Did he thought how she felt. Yat Po just going to let her go just because he ''assume'' that Twinkle like Jeff.

Yes, when faith bring two individual together and that do mean that the two are meant for each other. But sometime it doesn't mean that. I really hope for Stevia ending but what did we get? But I really like the theme song by Steven. It sound really nice and sweet.

Recommend? 

Not really, but if you all really want to see it, go ahead. But I won't recommend it.

Thoughts on Series - CS, TBOTG, and MBH

I'm going to do a small little review of Cupid Stupid, The Beauty of the Game and My Better Half. I recently had just finish watching My Better Half, but I have to re-watch it before I write the full write up. Cause the first time when I watch I really just skimmed through the series, like skipping here and there, so now I need to go back and re-watch. Cupid Stupid and The Beauty of the Game I'm getting there.. I know I'm behind -.-

Well anyways, little thoughts on each series.
*Warning* Below will contain Spoilers. If you do not want to get spoiled, I advice you to stop right here and do not continue. If you wish to read it, please proceed and enjoy reading it. ~I had warn you that below contain spoilers~ Read at your own risk.

Cupid Stupid - I'm actually still on Episode 4..hehehe xD. The series started out with Michael Tse and Tavia Yeung. Well first it was that the workers in the mall had just install a machine. The Machine was like a Princess fortune telling machine. One of the lead we are introduce to is Goon Sing Ho, Jeff (Michael Tse). He put in a coin and out came a paper that said "Today you'll meet the most important person in your life". After that Jeff left. A little while later, we are introduce to our female lead (Tavia Yeung). She saw the machine and went to put in a coin. The Paper that came out and read the same thing. After wards,  Tavia left and we are then introduce to our lead Chi Yat Po (Steven Ma). Tavia and Steven were bickering in the street and cause a crowd. The crowd told her not to get in to the car, but then it turn out that Tavia and Steven knew each other. They were child hood friends. It all goes along well, Tavia and Steven met Michael. They hang out a couple times. Michael and Tavia's paper got mix up. One night Tavia was reading the paper again and thought about the people she met that day. It couldn't be Michael cause he already had a girl friend and she kept thinking and it hit her, its Steven. The next day she woke up with pimples and realize that she does start to like Steven. But will they actually end up together? Will Stevia be together or is it going to be Michael and Tavia? Well I read the spoiler for the whole series, after what I read I really do not want to watch it anymore, but I really want to watch Stevia. I waited for this series to come out just for Stevia. And what do we get?

The Beauty of the Game I'm not going to continue. Its not that I don't like it, its just something made me do not want to continue it and I don't feel like watching it anymore. It feel like its an easy skip for me and its not going to be a big deal. I actually don't really like the cast in general. Well Wong Cho Lam made me laugh all the time. Mimi Lo is alright, I like her and Sharon Chan. I wanted to watch this for Christine Ng but I don't have that power to continue the series. This series is something fresh. Watching a series and seeing how acting are done and watching the entertainment industry, how it revolves everyday. But I seriously think that TVB exaggerate it way too much. The whole series is really exaggerate, not a little but a lot. I know that the entertainment industry is not anything easy. There will be many jealousy and hatred to rise to the top. And its really complicated. But the series had gone over broad with exaggeration. I might end up watching it again, not sure yet though. I really like how Kate's style look all the way in the beginning when she was introduce. With her glasses and her hair straighten down. She look really nice. Sharon is amazing with her two side personality.

My Better Half - I finish with it but I'm going to re-watch it before I write the review. Yes I love the cast and the comedy. And especially Maggie Cheung. I was so surprise the series was at peak with 32 points. Each artistes has their own face expressions and comedy. The storyline is a bit shaky and there is no plot, but I really did enjoy watching this. We were first introduce with the both Michael Miu and Tse at work with shooting a video. Ching Sum (Michael M.) phone started to go off and everyone laughs at his ring-tone. Everyone knew how his wife Lai Sum (Maggie Cheung) is and do not want to get on her bad side. We found out the reason why Lai Sum was upset on their second day of marriage and for seven years. Later on in the series, Lai Sum got pregnant but got a miscarriage while Ching Sum mother (Suet Nei) is in the hospital. Suet Nei dream was just to see her grandchild before she actually has to go. Lai Sum couldn't stand it anymore and want to tell her mother in law the truth with her miscarriage. While she was about to say it, Ching Sum got really mad and upset. He yelled and push his wife away to prevent from saying it. I felt really bad, even though Ching Sum is filial to his mom, he shouldn't had treated his wife that way. Even with the stuff he said to her. Ching Sum didn't say it directly to her but he said it while she is sitting next to him and obviously he is talking to his wife. It gave Maggie too much stress and burden. She didn't blame her husband at first but she couldn't take it anymore and they had a fight. The fight wasn't big and they said sorry to each other and back together as sweet as before. On the other hand Michael Tse and Teresa Lee finally got together and wanted to quickly give birth. But Michael had too many girlfriend and "did too much", the chance for him to get a baby was low so they couldn't get baby. But luckily Teresa can still give birth, so she lent her stomach to Maggie and Michael Miu. The baby contains only Ching Sum and Lai Sum's genes. At first when she said it, everyone was like wth?? Lai Sum was like I..I.. can't lent you my husband, the bed can only fit two people. Michael Tse was like no, that's my brother and that's my sister in-law. This mean that you are going behind my sister in law back. I thought of that too... but nope it was just letting them to use Teresa's stomach to get a baby. Ever since the miscarriage, Maggie's body is too weak to have another child so she'll have to wait for two years to give birth again. Many of the scenes and lines were predictable and adding Jamie Chik at the end was alright. She didn't need to be there but the scene was funny. Adding some comedy in. I loved Jamie's expression. It was amazing. The series is kind of a joke but not disappointing. I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it.

This is my little review of the series. Season of Fate review will be up soon.

Synopsis

How would one’s horoscope be interpreted and affect one’s love life? A simple note that reads “Getting to meet the most important person in your life” is strong enough to draw fishmonger CHI YAT PO (Steven Ma), toy shop assistant KAN NGO LAM (Tavia Yeung) and toy designer KOON SING HO (Michael Tse) into a torrid love triangle. When making their way out of the maze, the three of them begin to hesitate. Can one’s love life really be predicted?

Unlike his childhood friend LAM, PO does not believe in horoscopes. But this does not affect their friendship at all and they are even closer than ever. PO is held up to ridicule while trying to save LAM from her lovelorn woe. Believing that PO is her Mr. Right, LAM seeks every opportunity to express her love for him. Sadly PO has realized this too late, and LAM is already going out with HO, with whom she is very compatible in terms of star signs, personalities and interests. HO’s ex-girlfriend FONG CHEUK KEI (Mandy Cho) cannot bear to part from the man, forcing LAM to give up on the relationship reluctantly. During this most difficult time, PO has once again stood by LAM with tender loving care. As time goes by, the pair has gradually developed a genuine affection for each other. All of a sudden, HO turns up and asks to get back with LAM. To LAM, HO is a dream while PO helps keep her feet on the ground. Who is she going to stay with in the end?

Thoughts: One thing.. why did they change the name? I didn't know this was The Stars of Love. The previous title is much better than this one. And I'm looking forward to seeing it. Saw the trailer and look promising and the theme by Steven Ma is good too. Stevia ;]
