  • Annisa might have expected too much after the sales clip. The real thing definitely has a different vibe, for better or worse. The female roles seemingly have more "meat" than the males. That will be interesting to see. But the costumes suck. THE WIG!!!
  • Jayee finds it interesting that two of Ngok Wah’s "wives" are now his relatives, one a sister and the other a daughter. How strange is that? But looking at it positively, hopefully, less attention on Ngok Wah’s character and more on the ladies and Wayne. Also, pray the July rumor is true.

Uninvited

  • The tentative title is literally An Uninvited Date (不速之約), which is actually not the first title. TVB changed to this from A Date with Job (约伯有约) to avoid misleading the audience and relating to the story of Job from the Bible, although the drama will still be loosely based around that.
  • Cast includes Bobby Au Yeung, Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung, Gigi Wong, John Chiang, Mandy Wong, Power Chan, Fung So Boh, Bak Biu, Leanne Li, Natalie Wong, Catherine Chow, Ching Ho Wai, Felix Lok, So Yan Chi, Deno Cheung, Russell Cheung, Lam Yuen Ying, Quinn Ho, Poon Fong Fong, Luvin Ho, etc.
  • Producer is Poon Ka Tak and the drama is 20 episodes.
  • Bobby said that although he can’t reveal too much of the plot, the series has a Western feel.
  • Bobby and Tavia will be acting as husband and wife.
  • Due to his doctoral code of ethics, Bobby will wait for 3 years before courting Tavia, who was one of his patients. When he meets her again 3 years later, he wanted to chase after her, but she dies from a car accident. However, she later comes back to life.
  • Raymond will be a "devil" who tries to take Bobby’s life. However, Raymond said that his character is reasonable and because Bobby has many regrets and things left undone, Raymond will bring Bobby back to life.
  • Raymond also said that he will have some kind of relationship with Tavia. (Whether it is a romantic one is for us to wait and find out!)
  • Because Raymond has two movies on hand, he will start filming on March 3rd, while the cast starts tomorrow, February 25th.

  • Annisa is TOTALLY EXCITED for this!! I’m like in ULTRA HAPPY mode right now! Really, really happy to see Bobby in TVB news again. XD From what the main leads have said, I’m going to take a stab at the chronology of the script’s outline. Bobby meets Tavia and falls in love with her, but she dies 3 years later in a car accident that he either witnesses or gets shocked at seeing her at the emergency room. At that point, he will probably meet Raymond and asks Raymond, the almighty "devil" or Satan or Grim Reaper (whoever–some guy with red eyes and a vampiric/powerful aura (LOL!)) to revive Tavia. They make a deal and Bobby will exchange something "important" to him, most likely his own life. However, Bobby doesn’t want to die yet and Raymond chases after him to seal the contract. Through their many obstacles, the understanding between Bobby and Raymond grows deeper and they develop a strong bond. These feelings make Raymond more "human" and prevent him from killing Bobby. Raymond allows Bobby to live for an extra amount of time or revive him but alas, after X years, Bobby dies and meets Raymond again in Hell. Okay, that was a load of my fantasical trash but I think that’s the gist of it. I also think the apple, although it can represent many things, will be the forbidden fruit of Raymond’s actions–breaking the circle of life in a way.
  • Jayee … Annisa said it all, what can I say? Agrees wholeheartedly and would like to point out that Leanna Li’s dress is the same as Theresa Lee’s from My Better Half. ;)

  • Annisa thinks this looks like another A Great Way to Care with a better cast and not set in the hospital. It also appears washed-out and dull because almost every artist is wearing black at the fitting. Her comment, specifically, was, "What is this? A funeral?"
  • Jayee expects this drama to get warehoused even though she totally supports Crystal.
