Review

When I first knew that Michelle Yip and Raymond Lam were going to be the leading actress and actor in this series, I was like, �What?!?! What the heck was TVB thinking??? Putting the not-so-famous actress and actor as the leading characters??? Especially this Michelle Yip, whose performance was already very bad in Reaching Out, and yet TVB still dared to put her as the lead actress?? Weren't they afraid of a big flop??� As for Raymond Lam, when I first saw him in A Step Into The Past, his performance was only ok, so I thought Raymond was not appropriate to take the lead actor because I was not familiar with his acting as well.
So, after much doubt and hesitation, I decided to try giving it a go, and boy, was I in for a real surprise!!! Since when and how did Michelle Yip become so good in acting? Her performance in this series was EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! It was like this actress had changed overnight. Like from zero to hero, 0% to 100%. It had me wondering, is this the same Michelle Yip I saw in Reaching Out? Till today, I am still wondering what really had made her become so good in acting??? As for Raymond, his performance in this series was better than in A Step In The Past, but all credit had to go to Michelle. The actress, whom at one time I thought was real bad in acting, had proved me wrong � in fact, the series itself had proved me wrong.
