Korean Drama
I find this Korean drama really interesting, funny, and sad to watch. You know how Korean dramas are, they cried like every 5 min..lols. But in this one theres a lot funny scenes, but yes there are also a lot sad scenes. The sad scenes obviously is on the love. The first time I saw this was with my sister. She is really into watching Korean dramas. Full House came out in 2004 but I saw this in 07. It was long ago, and haven't watch much Korean drama ever since my sister left to college. Since there is nothing interesting to watch in TVB right now, so might as well rewatch this. The drama has enlish subs, so don't need to worry. Haha, that what I read to when I watched it. It kinda wants to make me want to learn Korean..lol. It's really good, I'll recommend it if you couldn't find anything to watch right now or want to try it. Or if you want to step away from some of TVB series right now. Its a good drama to relaxes you, after watching that tremendous series, Gem. Yes some how I put up two synopsis.

Sweetness in the Salt overview
I made this graphic shown above was just for the ending of Sweetness. I love the series. Does anyone agree? I think the series was actually pretty well filmed. The storyline was interesting and pretty funny. I wouldn't say perfect, cause there were some weird stories going on. But overall, I really liked the storyline. I haven't see such a great series for a long time..well accept for those grand productions, like Moonlight and Heart of Greed. This series has a great storyline for those small general series. Everyone acted up to their peak, no one went overboard or no one went under. Everyone did a job well done.
I love Wu kin [Kwok Fung]. He is like my favorite character. He is so funny. He keeps you entertain when there are so much sad scenes. Lol ^^ Well he really did entertained me and got a great spotlight in the series. He panic over too many stuffs, and also one little small thing too. Kowk Fung outshone the series with a great father like love to everyone. He cared so much about his family and especially his kids. Even when Ting Bik [Halina Tam] stole most of his stuff, he still forgave her. He even forgave Ting Yim [Casper Chan] for marrying Chi On [Joel Chan]. He forgave Ting Fai [Pierre Ngo] for so many stuffs he did. Wu Kin's character has so much love and such a great father. Theres so much warmth and love. He is just like Paul Chun, such great fathers. Kwok Fung character is really enjoyable, lovable, and memorable.
Raymond Wong seriously outshone in this series. I finally realized him and knows who he is. Lolz... I'm serious about that. I didn't even know who is Raymond Wong before I saw this. Even though I saw Marriage Inconvenience. When I realized he was in Marriage Inconvenience, I agree that his acting was actually pretty stiff. He need to loosen up a little. But in this series, he had blown me away. He was awesome and he is just amazing. Ting Hin was just awesome. He did a really great job, superb, fantastic, excellent job acting as Hin. He look really like he was actually sick. He always need to calm his father down. Love his favorite word "tam ting" [clam down]. This word is like in every sentence almost. I'm looking forward to his other series. Raymond and Tavia chemistry just blown me away. Excellent chemistry. Raymond is the brain in the family. He keeps the family running, keeps the Sing Suet Yim Jaan running. He keeps his father being the leader and almost everyone finds him when theres a problem. Hin is like gentle, loving, caring when coming to love. He has a good karma and did many good deeds. Raymond is like a man that every girl wants. He is like the perfect guy.
When the first time I saw SITS was out, I was like ok, so another ancient series. I read who's in it and the synopsis. I wasn't that interest in it. But I would have regret if I haven't seen this. I said, I'm going to watch it for Tavia and want to see the chemistry between the three. I was so happy that I actually saw this, if not I'll definitely miss out on a excellent series. The storyline was awesome. It was one great storyline that I haven't seen for awhile. Other series, you can just predict the ending, knowing who will end with whom and etc. But in SITS, you couldn't predict the ending and you wouldn't have guess who end up with whom. Sweetness just click right on to you and you have to keep on watching it. Its like a drug...lol. Most series you can really see whats going to happen in the next episodes. You would know whats coming, but for Sweetness its isn't like that. The storyline makes you to come back for more. They are like torturing you with the Hin/Suet/Yuen love story. Its just so exciting to see whats going to happen next. Some episodes ended with a cliffhanger and its just destroy you. You couldn't even wait to watch it. It was just that amazing. The acting, storyline, the places, sound effects, etc was great. Nothing really disappoints you. This series had exceed beyond my expectation. I wasn't expecting to be this good, I thought it was just like another TVB series. But I was wrong, it was outstanding.
I agree that some part of the series was a bit draggy. They drag about Fai and Bik's love life. They kept on dragging on Fai. They should have just end him when Siu Yuen [Devily Leung] has his baby and have him show up in the last episode. Another stuff bugged me was that they drag on the fighting scenes, the climax point of the salt smuggle thing. If they didn't drag on that part then the series would've been shorter. If Yuen "woke up" earlier, then he can defeat Tou earlier. Another part was killing Hin off. That part was like wth!!! The series was mainly like healing Hin, but than he was killed off. It doesn't make any sense. Why would you kill him off when you want to heal him. I would rather have him died from his sickness not from Tou. It doesn't make sense to me and was so upset/mad at that part. Its really unfair to Hin. He should get his happy ending. I would rather have none of them end up together, but then met at the end all together. Better than have him killed off by Tou. They want to kill him off, cause they need to push Suet and Yuen together. Then they don't need to heal him, or just have Suet not to end up with either one. The three should have an happy ending. Randomly having the third uncle show up at the end was really unnecessary. It was just really random and weird.
The love triangle was spontaneous. You can feel the pain they are going through, the sadness they feel each day. The chemistry was awesome. You just wants more of them. It would be cool if Tavia just marry the both of them. Then she doesn't need to worry about hurting their feelings. Lolz ^^ hehe, she should then they can leave in the cave, on the snow mountain. Hehe.. yes we all wish for that to happen. ^^ She still love Yuen but then had feeling for Hin. Seeing her painful face, thinking which one should she choose, whom she love the most, is just so upsetting. You can feel her tears when she cried, it just make you want to cry along. Seeing the pain the boys has everyday, just makes you want to cry too. The both of them actually thinks that, they don't deserve Suet. But didn't they just turn it around and ask themselves, does Suet deserve either one of them. Did they even ask themselves, about Suet's feelings. Why do they have to push Suet to each other? Why don't they just let her pick, which one she wants? The boys are kinda selfish when it comes to love somewhat. Yuen knows that he would loose Suet after he tell her about her parents actual deaths. Even though Yuen showed that he is upset but inside he is happy, relief that he had told her the truth. Other wise he would just have that grief in him. The chemistry between the three just glue you in to the series, on to the screen. One thing we didn't get to know is whom did Suet chose. This series love triangle is really different from other TVB's love triangles. Its just so different. In the beginning I was rooting for Yuen and Suet before I saw the series. When I was watching it, it was hard for me to pick who should Suet end up with. But then as the series progress, I was rooting for Hin/Suet ending. Well technically Suet did choose who she wants. She chose Hin, but all Hin said was "we are a fake". Once again you can see Suet painful/upset face. Suet was originally for Linda. Even though I love Linda, I can't have her in this series. If Linda was actually Suet, then we won't get to feel this strong chemistry between the three and the love of the three. It wouldn't be any different to other TVB's love triangles. Sweetness really had outshone this year so far. It was amazing. Loved it so much but pity that is warehouse. I really hope that the TVB would air this in Hong Kong. It was a waste not to air this.
I would rate this just 4 stars. Well truthfully I wouldn't say this series is perfect. Its in between, in the middle. Not bad, but it wasn't perfect. Is just right smack in the middle. The ending kinda upset me, but it was some how also an happy ending. It was like a sad/happy ending. You don't really expect what to happen at then end and stuff. And I would rate it 98 out of 100 in numbers. Yes you might think that I'm weird. I also use the word awesome to much. I'll recommend this series for a rewatch and to watch it if you haven't yet. I really wants an Hin/Suet ending but its alright. It all turn out good.
*Recommend it*

Gigi Lai's Marraige
I was so surprise in her action. I was looking through the newspaper on Saturday and saw her news. It shocked me. I was like when did Gigi get marry? Shes marry? Who is this person? Why is he so old? Yes.. I had lots of questions and therefore no one even bother to tell me. I can't read in Chinese so I didn't know what it was saying. I just open my ears and listen to what others said about this news. I always like Gigi and I think she is really pretty too. But I wonder why would she marry someone that is way older than her? This kinda remind me of Gem, when Jessica marry someone way older then her too. I also heard that he walks with a cane, well of course he is rich. Gigi is 38 and he is 52.
Well anyways, congratulations on Gigi's wedding. May the two live happily after and together forever till old. I'm going to miss Gigi after I finish watching Gem. I will finish Gem, since thats her last series. Hope that Gigi will come back and film again.
Wish Gigi and Mr. Ma a very happy marriage together.

Sweetness Review
Well ok I know its not important right, so lets get back to Sweetness.
*~* IT MAY CONTAINS SPOILERS *~*
I watched Sweetness up to episodes 21 now. Finish watching 17-20 last week and couldn't wait to watch 21. Finally got a chance today to watch it. A lot stuff bugs me in the last 5 episode that I had watched. Sing Suet [Tavia] and Ting Hin [Raymond Wong] finally got married in episode 17. You can see how much Suet wanted to devote herself to be Hin's wife. Suet did so many stuff that the wife should do for her husband, but all Hin said was "we are a fake couple". Well at least you could've said "Thank You". *sigh* Hin had said that like millions time, but you could see Suet painful eyes and her feelings. In episode 18, Hin still doesn't accept Suet as his wife. Hin is like killing himself, knowing that he loves her but won't tell her about his feelings. Also annoying me too about his denial loving Suet. Lolz
Yuen [Steven] on the other hand was really upset about the wedding and on the day of the wedding he went to find Suet and said he'll take her away. Didn't he said that he wanted her to marry Hin? Kept pushing them together, and finally they are getting marry he wanted her back? It just so amazing. Well Suet of course didn't go with him. After Suet took chagre, Suet and Yuen and the uncle went to smuggle salt. Almost got caught, but they pulled it off. But they came upon Kara Hui [forgot her character name]. Kara is working with Tou Ying Long. They happen to be siblings. Yuen went against Tou and yea the fighting scene bagan. It was really exciting to see >.<
Episode 21 really devastated me. Suet now knows who really killed her parents. Also Hin sickness looks better. Hin told Yuen about the fake marriage and the Wu family would leave Yueng Zhao. Suet didn't want Hin to say anything or to anyone about the fake marriage thing and got really upset. She just turn and left. On the day Wu Ga leaves, Suet said she won't be going with them. Hin told the family about the marriage and Wu Kin was so heart broken. He start to break down dramatically and said, you're are my favorite daughter in law. I don't want you to leave me, please stay in the Wu Ga, and that Hin really truly loves you. Ting Fai said, Is brother health not worth it for you? [well something like that..hehe] The aunt said, no wonder why, when they redecorate the room, you ask for another bed/bench thing. I thought you didn't want to distract Hin, so this is the real reason. And she said something about stay with us. When you marry once, you don't want to be marry again. [I think is like something had to do with the Chinese custom saying. I didn't really know how to translate it. ] Ting Bik said to stay too. Wu Kin just break down and cry, but they know that they owe Suet so much for helping Wu Ga, so they agree to let her go. But one thing annoys me is that, Ting Hin didn't say it was his idea. It was really touching and dramatic, I cried along with them. It was sad. When they left Yueng Zhao, Ting Hin actually came back. Yuen and Suet was talking and Hin over heard them. Suet will go back to find Hin to be with him, for the last time, and Yuen said, he'll be here if she needs him. Hin was at far and heard the convo. It was sad seeing the three like this. My heart was hurting seeing Suet and Hin divorce, telling the family and seeing the three like this. In episode 22 and 23, the boys were fighting about who Suet should end up with. Its is really ridiculous.
In the beginning of the series, I was rooting for Suet and Yuen. As the series developed, I wanted Suet and Hin. I find that Hin deserve Suet more then Yuen. I really wanted them to end the series together. I heard a rumor saying that Hin and Suet are siblings, well obviously that was not true and I didn't believe it. I would not want that to happen, I don't care what happens but just don't tell me that they are siblings. It would ruin the series. But yea its not true. But as I watch episode 17 -21, I felt the pain the three of them are going through. Their relationship is really hard. TVB had made this "Triangle" really hard for us to solve and the three. This series was really hard to predict the ending and predict who Suet would end up with. Well of course SITS fans spoiled themselves by going to the forum. Lolz =P
Under this would be Spoilers for the rest of the remainder episodes. Eventho I didn't watch it myself yet, and I know the ending. =P I spoiled myself..hehe.... yes..... yes.....yes, I did =P If you want to know the ending by yourself, I suggest you to stop reading. After you read it don't blame me for spoiling it for you..lolz =] But I know you want to... you want to just scroll down and read it. Yes... yes....oh yes you do =P Well anyways think before you scroll down. But otherwise please proceed.
So the ending, Hin came back with them. Hin is going to die, Suet spend the last day with him and Suet is upset. Yuen and Suet got marry but Suet left him, cause Suet knows who actually cause her parent death. Yuen was the one cause her parent death, and that the selfishness side of him. After 2 years Suet went to the cave to see Yuen, but Yuen changed and look really different and weird. Yea, think thats it. The story ends there. I couldn't believe it. Suet ends up with no one and none of them has an happy ending. The three of them went through so much. *Um.. note that I didn't watch this part yet, so some info might be wrong.*
Um.. going to watch the rest tomorrow maybe, so see you guys soon, I'll post up the rest of the series thoughts after I'm done. So see ya ^^ If you think about having us spoiling it for you and not watching it, I suggest you to watch it even you know what going to happen.
