No regret watching TVB’s ‘No Regrets’!
No Regrets
TVB’s ‘No Regrets’ is an indirect sequel to the much successful drama of year 2009, Rosy Business. Hence, many people are anticipating for this 2010 series created by the same producer with many same casts like Sheren Tang, Wayne Lai, Pierre Ngo, etc.
The 32-episodes series had just ended yesterday with continuous airing of last two finale episodes on Sunday evening. I believed that this series would record high rating like its predecessor too, around 40 to 48. However, could it break the highest record of 50, previously set by Moonlight Resonance and Jewel in the Palace. I doubt it this time…
The series is very good, very touching, and leaves me with great impression. The performance by the casts is awesome, especially the main characters and some supporting characters. I think Sheren might win the Best Actress again this year, Pierre Ngo for the Best Supporting Actor, Fala Chen for Best Supporting Actress, Raymond Wong for Most Improved Male Artist, and definitely Best Series Award for this one. For Best Actor, I think it would be a close fight between Wayne Lai from this series and Moses Chan from Can’t Buy Me Love. Wayne Lai’s character here is now not so appealing.
A bit disappointing, because this series is not as intense as what we had watched last year from Rosy Business. There are more climax-reaching scenes from Rosy Business than this one, which is the main reason to attract more viewers like us. There are less evil-plotting acts from the main villain in this series compared to the first one which is also by the same actress, Susan Tse. She can be very successful in acting as evil woman, with her scary eyes and facial expression. However, she also managed to do a great job here despite seldom on screen.
There are more sad moments in this series, probably due to the war and invasion by Japanese, illness and death of Ching Ching (Fala Chen), Gao Mui separated with Lau Sing for over 30 years, etc. Very touching, and not to mention some of the flashback scenes, bringing us back the memory of watching the earlier part of the series. Overall, it is still a great series by TVB, eventhough it is not as good as its predecessor, Rosy Business. Oh…no..now no more interesting and exciting TVB series for me to watch for the year…I must be bored…
A deep and touching drama of the year.

hi! haha, actually i donno, but i dun think it’s right to compare RB with NR, because they are abt diff things.
it’s fairer to compare them as a separate drama itself. i think NR has a darker theme, and feels more real, becos the jap occupation and war happened just a few decades ago.
but still, brilliant acting by the cast! wish they can team up for part III! i’m sure many ppl want it to! ((((:

both series can be compared, bcoz basically its almost about the same things, encounters faced by two main characters from the family and the more broader aspects like wars. i dun think the producer would have to force himself for third sequel
