Heart of Greed

Was watching the TVB series "Heart of Greed" (溏心風暴) when I was in KL 2 weeks ago. I must have just watched 2 or 3 episodes (which by the was after screening of 30 episodes before hand). But I was so hooked onto the serials I actually bought the entire series DVD and started watching from the beginning. There were a total of 40 episodes and I finished all of them in under 4 days, i.e. 10 episodes per day!!! I've never ever done such a thing. In fact I used to lament the fact that some people spend the entire day in front of a TV watching all those Japs or Taiwanese series. I don't watch both of those at all, but I succumbed to the all-good TVB drama. All the family feud, fighting over money, kinship, friendship, tragic love etc. 溏心風暴 was a good watch. I heard part 2 has started airing on Astro which I may just go crazy and get my hands on the DVDs. But then again, I know my sis will get those soon.

Back to 溏心風暴, it was a really nice watch. Very touching and enlightening. I particularly like the love scenes between Lam Fung and Linda Chung. The tragic end of Lam Fung's character in the show was really one of those peaks in the show. 2 famous phrases in the show: "哭有时,笑有时,悲伤有时,欢乐有时" and "有口也是和,冇口也是禾".
