Gem of Life overview

Gem of Life is finally over. The series actually tells us something. It tells us that family members are the most important thing in your life. I remember that I was so excited for this series when it announced that they are going to film it. The title "Gem of life", I thought that it would be involved around gems. I thought it was like the Hong's family is really rich and they opened gems company. I didn't know that it was about business. Now after watching the whole series, i came to realize and to know what "Gem of Life'' means. "Gem" is not the meaning of the jewels gems. It means the importance, the precious about life. About the rich people, the high class society. How important one things is to you and you must get it first. Must fight for it. Its like the business world is really important just like how gems are important to girls. [hope that I'm right....lols] They use the company "Mabelle" for the series. Cause they are promoting this jewelry company and hopes that we will get jewels from there.

I like how the series went and really like how each character transform. Like how Jessica transform to "another" Sung Sai Man, after her husband die. She must take everything and be the riches of the whole Hong Kong. How Sylvia transform, taking everything from her sister, and how the sisters backstabbing each other. Constance has the most love story in the series, while Jessica and Sylvia had mostly the business story.

I was so excited for the series, but as I kept watching it, I got pretty upset. It didn't fill my expectations for the series. The storyline got so messy and everything was out of place. It got boring, but then it got interesting for an episode and went back to be boring the next. its just kept going up and down. I think what as kept me watching was the Terrance/Constance and Sylvia/Calvin love story. And everything besides business. Every episodes is about the same thing. Fighting over business, gossiping about each other, backstabbing each other and harming each other.

Every one acted very well, but is just that the storyline keeps on dropping. I don't think it was the series fought that has low ratings. The economy crisis is effecting everyone and people got bored of Gem. Gem is really crazy and its really good to see those easy/relaxing series in between. I think Gem is good but the storyline was just poor and it got so messy. Always about the same thing in every episodes. I think is a bit too long and its draggy. The last episode I was like...?????. From episode 81 to 82, I felt that there was a big gap in between. The last episode everyone just stop and won't go any further. I mean like in 81 they were still fighting. So it wasn't a smooth transformation from 81 to 82. It was an open ending and I don't mind it. I actually like how the family ended together. How LSK has those flashbacks of her daughters running and having fun together. I would rate this series 3'1/2 stars. The main thing is that the story just got so messy and draggy and how they skipped from scenes to scenes. They were all fighting for the business, they really needed the frame and fortune and everything, but at the end no one wins.

Gem of Life

"When would my sisters stop what they are doing? And when would they ever going to wake up? OR.... I need to do something about it? Are we going to become sisters again? Or we going to stay enemies? Would I loose my sisters forever...... "
Its in Constance point of view, in looking at her sisters.

Gem of Life final episodes would be out tomorrow the 13th. As we all know the sisters are really crazy. Jessica got all physic up over her son's death. She blame Terrance for killing her son. She needs to get rid of Terrance even though she knows who really took her son. She won't believe anyone cause she needs to take Terrance down. At this point Jessica would do anything!! Sylvia would do anything to harm her sisters. She blackmail Terrance, that he was in charge of causing Shun Shun death. She would do anything to her sisters for her business to succeed. She following Calvin footstep. Calvin is using Sylvia cause he needs to revenge. Constance is getting out there, using her voice. Trying to stop everyone. She too becoming like them. She has the paper that she would use against her younger sister. She would betray her sister this time, if she doesn't stop. Will is becoming one of them too. He starts to go deep into the business and must take everything away. At this point everyone needs to betray each other to get what they wanted. When would they ever going to stop? When would they all going to wake up? When would the family going to be back in order? How long does this have to go? How far?

Seeing the mom like this is really sad. With her sickness, she still need to come out and confront the sisters that they need to stop. We are a family, don't keep on going. Just stop and love each other. Why wouldn't the sisters listen? Would they finally stop when something happens to their mom? Do they really need the fame, fortune, socialite? Do they really need all those, so they have to destroy each other?

The series is ending. With the last episode coming. Hope they would finally stop. I wonder who will win? I hope they going to stop right after they heard their mom speech that night during dinner. I wonder how they going to wrap this up? Gem had gotten a bit messy but I need to say, the last couple episodes after Shun Shun death, things are getting heated up. We all could see it, they are rushing already to close this. If they hadn't drag on all those weird parts then this part could have been done earlier and they didn't need to rush the endings.

Gem of Life review

Gem is almost over and the last week is finally here. The rating still isn't high but hope the rating at least goes up a bit for the finally week. Below would be spoilers, and when I mean spoilers..... I mean SPOILERS. Read at your own risk. But of course, I know you would want to read it. Yes.....yes.... just slowly scroll down and read them. I know you want to.... just do it...just do it =P

Ok, seriously, read at your own risk =]

*~* Contains Spoilers *~*

So I just finish episode 78. The last couple episodes I saw was sad, terrifying, greedy, and also jealousy. Well we all know that Gem is all about Business... who would get the business and fighting for it.. etc. The truth is, I still don't know why I'm still watching this. I'm getting really tired on Gem, I couldn't believe that Gem had turn out like this. I'm sick of watching them "killing" each other for business and all this crazy gossip. In the last couple episodes, the three sisters were like enemies. They would stab each other backs and turn against them. Even if they are working together, they still would turn against them. They would "killed" off the sisters relationship just to get the business.

Since Martin was kidnapped in Philippines, he got really weird and Jessica took over the business. Since Martin had this sickness ever since he was kidnapped, he never leave the house, cause he'll get scare and thought he'll be kidnapped again. Well Jessica took over his business, Terrance thought something was up with Jessica. He suspect Jessica making his dad ill. Well I think he is wrong. Philip was actually the one behind Martin disappearance in Philippines. Philip came back to Hong Kong and wants to revenge. He know he can't do it anymore so he have Elise to do it for him. But during those time, Elise had actually change. She change so much and she became so nice. She told her grandpa to stop and forget about it, just let it go. Well on the hand, Jessica turn so bad, that she is scary sometimes. When Martin died, Jessica took over everything. She would go against her sisters, and would bring her sister down. The sisters then would kill their relationship. They are basically backstabbing each other. I think Jessica had so much greed in her, that she lost her husband and son. I really hope the she'll "wake up" soon. Terrance seem like he had "wroken up". I hope that Sylvia doesn't follow down the step into the crazy business world and "wake up". I wonder if the sisters even see where are they headend to. Just look at them. Which business leaders would win at the end? Will is like becoming one of them.

The sisters relationship got so out of hand and wouldn't even talk to each other. Sylvia would do anything to help Calvin, so she is going to fight for that huge business with Jessica. The mom lost her memory each day and finally she totally forgot a lot, even forgot that she has daughters. Those part was sad, also Shun Shun died. Philip took the baby away and fed him french fries. Which happen that Shun Shun is allergic to. A lot stuff had happen. You might say is getting interesting as the story is wrapping up. I really wonders how are they going to wrap it up. The story got so messy. I think is getting interesting is maybe because for the love storyline not the other part. The storyline is really out of hand and very very messy. No wonders the rating are low. They spend so much time on this too. I'll finish watching this series though, cause I really want to know who would win? If the sisters will finally "wake up" or if they going to loose everything or make up. I want to know how far does these business leaders need to go. Who would get defeated?

Gem of Life review

Ok so, I watched Gem of Life up to episode 62 so far. I didn't watched like everyday cause I didn't have time. Well after that 62 episodes, I'm just going to wait till the rest of the episodes comes out. I won;t have time anymore cause exams is coming up. Also I'm probably don't even have time to post either. Ok, anyways lets get back to Gem. On episodes 50 I was so surprise on Martins moves. I was like wth!! Whoa!! and shock. I wouldn't think that he'll do that cause he was always following Song Sa Man. I couldn't believe that he would just kick him out like that so easily. I was amazed. Well after I continued to watch on, I grew bored on Gem. All they do was talking about business and fighting about the business and all those crazy things that's going on. I mostly skip when they talk about business and watch the romance part. I like the Moses and Gigi the most. I was a bit upset when they broke up and actually sign the divorce paper. I got so annoyed with Ada in the series. She is so stubborn and always think about herself not anyone else. She ruin her sisters life and have everyone listens to her after just two years. Ada just got so aggressive [hope that I used the right term..lolz] I thought that she'll change after the car incident but I guess not. The baby is so cute... hehe ^^ I just hope that everything will be back to normal.... am I kidding?.. back to normal? Its going to be crazier. I love Linda in here. Her bitchy side is really interesting to watch. Her face seriously change.. it isn't that cute, sweet Linda anymore. She had improve a lot. Ok as for Gigi, she is like the easy going one. She would listen to everyone and believe them. She doesn't think about herself first always think about her family first then her [I think..lols]. I like her the best in here.. I think. All I can say is that the three sisters have totally different perspective to the world. So so different.

I don't know what to say about the series. The rating is not very good. Its not the series fault that the rating isn't good. Its the economy. I just hope that the rating would go up soon. They spend so much on this series and its going to be a waste, if the rating still going to be this low. The rating for this series is just like those normal series. This is a HUGE production and the rating is like the same as a 20 episodes series!!! I was so surprise. I think I watched for Gigi and Moses. LOl ^^ Ok just hope that the rating will go up soon. Theres still hope. Theres couple more weeks left.
