My Better Half: Marriage Quotes 5
Similar to what made Just Love II enjoyable enough (for me), My Better Half also incorporated ingenious quotes at the beginning of its episodes with narrations of ranging tones–from matter-of-fact Michael Miu and Maggie Cheung to playful and sarcastic Michael Tse and Teresa Lee. Nevertheless, Half isn’t trying to differentiate or make fun of the male and female psychologies, it is poking at the "before and after" realities of marriage. Although these quotes do not describe everyone’s relationships, I’m positive they describe the majority. A lot of couples do experience dryness after a few years of marriage and it’s interesting why this is so when it’s not as if these couples have stopped loving one another.
Anyway, I’m still in the midst of watching Half, but there have been a few requests for these quotes so I thought I would be kind and post them. Have fun laughing!

NG: Watch That Hand! 4
Click Here to See Clip
Michael Miu is a molester, shocking even Maggie Cheung!!
No, not really. (LOL.) I think it’s obvious the hand we’re watching is indeed that of our leading actor, but the front and rear he’s touching are not really of Joey Mak, who is in reality rather small and flat-chested. In both cases, I’m guessing the victim is a man. It would be extremely awkward if that was truly a woman, horrendously awkward. One could argue that it is Joey and she agreed to perform the scene herself, sacrificing her body for art and being professional. But I doubt her co-stars and the crew would allow such a thing, evident in the last segment where Michael only hovered his hand an inch from her chest. Whichever, this NG clip is hilarious and I definitely look forward to seeing the completed scene.

Plain Love II (TVB, 1999) Thoughts 2
One of the best romantic country drama trilogy ever done by TVB consists of 1995’s Plain Love starring Kathy Chow Hoi Mei and Gallen Lo, 1999’s Plain Love II starring Gordon Lam and Maggie Cheung Ho Yee, and 2001’s Country Spirit starring Gordon Lam and Charmaine Sheh. None of the stories actually connect but all of them introduce the audience to some unique aspect of Chinese heritage, including the art of making tea and wine. I had watched Plain Love and Country Spirit back when they first released and remember loving the touching relationships between the main characters and the beautiful country fields where things grow and die, where people smile and cry, and where they come and go. Not until recently did I pick up interest in Plain Love II due to several recommendations and rave reviews. I had a lot of expectations for this series, especially since it is produced by Lau Si Yu who had done Dark Tales, Dark Tales II, Journey to the West, Journey to the West II, and Plain Love.
