Thoughts:

I've finished this series a while now, and never put up the review. Cause I was kinda lazy with it xP ahahaha. Okay. So I thought the series was amazing. It can win this years best series. But unfortunately there will be competitors. There will be different series competing for the Best Series Award. To me, I think it already had won, compare to the other series I saw. Fist is exciting, funny, sad, and a bit action. The action is like exciting kind of action like omg, what going to happen next. It's not like 'James Bond' action. Lol. I really like this series, and hoped all of you did too.
 

I never anticipated for this series and I thought it's going to be boring. I literally have no interest at all. I saw it on news and stuff, but never pay attention. I decided to watch this series, cause everyone said it was amazing and I have nothing better to do. So why not just sit down and watch TVB. From the first episode, I already like it. It just grew on me and just stick on me. Every episode has its own action and drama. You can't predict anything. You can't predict what will happen next or what the characters will do next. It was one amazing series. And yes, it does look like and feel like Moonlight Resonance. Each character from both series does have similarities. Two different families and stuff. I liked how they did everything together. When I say they, I meant the siblings. The cried together, they laugh together. If one person cries, they all will cry. One laughs they all laughs. They stick together through thick and thin. It was great. I love how they tried to be serious but always burst out laughing. One big warm family.
 

The saying always goes, 'Father like Son'. How the father is, the son will definitely follow the same way 99% of time. Well, the evilness of Dominic bought him to killing himself at the end. I thought that was kinda a waste. He should have a death sentence or some disease or something. But I guess he got what he deserves. He gone crazy and killed himself. I felt bad for Kara, she love Dominic so much but what happens? He sent her to a mental hospital and she did became crazy. It was all his fault. Kara wasn't evil, she was okay. I pity her with such a sad ending. Will at least Jacky realized his mistakes and changed. He wasn't as bad as his father, so 20 years in jail is fine. 20 years is pretty long time. We all know that Selena and Kenneth has to end together. They were so cute at the end and through out the whole series. Adorable couples XD. Even though Kevin is the main lead. It felt like through out the whole series, everything was revolve around Kenneth. Kenneth was the one who control everything and find the answer to solve all the problems. Narration at the end was by him too. Kenneth put on the role like a big brother, like the head of the family. But Kevin, he is like one of the siblings like the 2nd or something. He is not like Kenneth, calm and solve it calmly.
 

But oh wells, I thought they all did well. I don't think the series lack or dragged. Cause I was like 100% into the series.. I could feel myself in the series. Like sitting in front of the camera acting along side with them. Lol. It was a great series, I really enjoyed it. If some of you hadn't seen it yet, go watch it!

Who's more Evil & Freaky?

Currently I'm on episode 21 of Fist. It's coming to an end soon, and I'm enjoying it!! It's getting really interesting and so many things had happen!! I wonder what will happen next?!!?

Who is the real villain in the series?  Well of course we all think that the villain is Wing Dak (Dominic Lam). But yes, Dominic is the main villain in the series. But to me I also think that Eric Lee(Li) is a villain too. Well okay he is not the main or the real villain. Dominic is, but Eric is one crazy scary maniac. Eric would appear out of know where and you would not know what he is up to. They are both scary!

So who is the most scariest, evil, and freaky?

I think Eric is the most scariest and freaky. Ever since his appearance in the series, I know, he is a no no. His expression is mad scary. The audience doesn't know what he wants. Even Natalie doesn't know what he want. He was in Jail and he was Let out so Dominic can have Eric to teach his son kung-fu. Scary! Especially the way he kept giving Natalie the eyes and the way he follows her. I can't believe he raped her!! Poor Natalie =\

Dominic is also scary and evil. But not as freaky as Eric. When ever I see Dominic, I will get the chills. He did so many bad things. He is Surely Evil!! He would bribe people with money and pay them money to do things for them! >< I can't believe these people only cares about money! But hey, you can't really blame them. It's either take the money and do as I told or die. I think I rather do as I'm told? xP Ahaha... kidding, I don't even know what will I do.  I just feel bad for all those innocent people. They go against Dominic and boom,. you don't get to see the daylight of tomorrow.

One is freaky and the other evil. They both are freaky and evil. At first when I see Dominic on screen, I get the chills. But when I see Eric on screen, I got scare and the chills. They are both so freaky. ><  Dominic is really evil, he doesn't show the evilness, cause he do the stuff slowly and carefully. Scary guy, you don't know what he have up his sleeves!!

A Fistful of Stances

Just a little thoughts on the series. I recently finished watching Beholder and the reviews will be up soon. So like I finish Beholder and now I'm watching Fist. I'm really interested in watching it, its really good. I'm so happy that I actually decide to watch this, or else I'm going to miss out on so much. Ahahaha... but now, I have so much series to catch up on too >< but no worries I can finish one series in two days and start on the next one. xD Yep its non-stop, and it'll be faster and easier, since it's summer now =P Lols. I'm currently on eps 5 on Fist, and like I said before I really enjoy it. There is so much yelling!! Hahaha.. and I like how the family bond is so sweet and funny, like Moonlight. It really does kinda resemble Moonlight. The ancient version? Lol, but its just not about family business..hahaha. Shirley is so adorable, especially her mad expression, its so cute and the way she yell and laugh. Hahaha.. it make me laugh too. I like how they trying to be serious and then they just burst out laughing. Such a happy family moment. I can't wait to keep on watching it >< its getting exciting and I'm getting the chills each time. Ever since the appearance of Dominic, doesn't matter if it was the past or the present, I get the chills. I get scare each time, you never know what he is up to each time..lol. I enjoy watching the past and the present, it'll get annoying but I like it. That is how we are getting information. It's getting better and better. xD

I like the opening theme, how the music blends in with the pictures. I like how it shows every one's sad/teary face. Hmmm.. if they never met Dominic and never took him in as part of the group. Then none of these bad thing will happen. Anyways, everyone in here is actually really adorable. Especially Kenneth >< a cutie! Lols.
I just can't wait to continue and finish watching it.

AU YEUNG WAI-LAN (Yuen Qiu), owner of a martial arts training school, is reunited with her long-lost son KOO YU-CHEUNG (Kevin Cheng) after years of agonizing separation.  On his return home, CHEUNG is shocked to find that his younger brother KOO YU-TONG (Ma Kwok Ming) has been critically ill and that his father was murdered long ago by WING TAK (Lam Ka Wah), the existing director of a pharmaceutical company and a bitter old foe of the KOOs.  CHEUNG has never been into kung-fu but shows glimpses of his potential when he strikes back at the impudent, arrogant WING MAN-KWAN (Jacky Heung), also the son of TAK.  Pinning all her hopes on CHEUNG, LAN not only teaches him a special set of kung-fu skills created by the family, but also registers for him for the Guangdong Boxing Championship Tournament.  Out of the blue, CHEUNG's opponent in the final turns out to be KWAN.
CHEUNG starts losing his bearings after achieving growing success and recognition in the field of martial arts.  Caught up in the love triangle between LAN's apprentice YING NGAN-MING (Natalie Tong), his dream girl CHOW MUI-MUI (Nancy Wu) and himself, CHEUNG is utterly confused and exhausted, which later causes his failure in the final tournament.
