Day 8: Your favorite Cantonese Drama?
There's a lot to choose from....
Bottled Passion.
One of my favorite, and it's
unforgettable.
I'll admit, it took too long to get to the climax, and the ending made me really mad. But I guess that's why it's really unforgettable.
Synopsis:
Mrs Ko, Tung Kwok Hing (Rebecca Chan) adopted an orphan and claimed he was Ko Yi Ho (Raymond Wong), the illegitimate child that her husband Ko Siu Tong (Samuel Kwok) had been searching for many years. Tong believed Ho was more suitable than his oldest son Ko Yi Tai (Joel Chan) to be his successor, which later led Mrs. Ko's discontent. Eventually, Mrs.Ko attempted to
murder Ho, luckily he survives. But he becomes
homeless, and living out alone, Ho got a taste of the bitterness in life and was determined to return home and take revenge on his adopted family under a different name Tung Bun Sin. Under his new identity, he vowed to give them a taste of losing their loved ones. Meanwhile he runs into the naive, trusting Tsui Sum (Niki Chow), who had just taken over her family business. Seeing an opportunity, Ho deceives Tsui Sum of her family business and all her familys' money in order to get closer to the Ko family. However, old ties,
secrets, and
memories of a childhood
sweetheart come back to
haunt him. Eventually Ho embarks on a road that
threatens the lives of all he holds dear, and the life of the only woman he's
ever loved.
In my opinion, Raymond Wong and Niki Chow really did a good job with this drama. Their acting was very real. And I really
admire Raymond's acting skills. Every drama his in, he gets in the shoe of the character he's portraying. He's probably #1 on my list for good acting skills. Excellent...
I had wished it would end happily, but who ever wrote the script just had to make it a
tragedy :/
