Congrats to Kenix, Frankie, & Sunny for making it to the top ten list! From the list, I have only finished watching Ten Brothers & the Green Grass of Home. I started on Heart of Greed and War & Destiny but did not have time to finish. I watched WAD solely because of Sunny but i really dislike his mustache. Despites of the fact that Sunny is the lead, Ron Ng has way much more screen time so I gave up on the series. I like Ron as a new actor, but him appearing more often than Sunny, no way! I was attracted to the star-studded cast so I gave the Drive of Life a chance but it's so boring even at the first episode. Michael Miu was really charming and funny; Jessica had a different role instead of her usual strong character; Damian gave a strong performance as always. However, that's not enough to save the whole boring & draggy plot. I watched here and there and then totally gave up on the series.

I know everybody has been saying this for countless times, but I still want to say it again: TVB is going downhill. As of right now, I only look forward to Catch Me Now and Forensic Heroes II for the sake of Idy Chan and Frankie Lam.

Hey Michelle,

Hope you had a great Xmas!

It's great that Ten Brothers came in 4th! It's a great achievement to get such high ratings in the Chinese New Year. I think it was particularly special for Kenix, Frankie and their ten sons when the series achieved successful ratings after all the negative, dismissive comments targeted at them (eg, it's a warehouse series, the costumes are ridiculous, and 'who the hell are those unknowns').

Out of the list, I have only watched Ten Brothers. I'm not interested in any of the other series above LOL. Ever since 2004, I have only watched TVB series with Kenix in it.

hi mtd, i had a good Xmas. hope you had a great one too!

i thought the costumes are unique instead of ridiculous. the brothers are cute. i enjoy the series throughout except for the ending. i thought it's kinda silly & corny. anyway, congrats to the couple!

I love the Drive of Life or should I say Charmaine and Raymond lol. Such great chemistry :). I like them in Yummy Yummy, even more in LWOLAP, and now I must say I love this paring. I even watch their scenes on youtube in chinese hehe.
Looking forward to their next series whenever that is.

Hi Michelle

It's nice to hear that The Family Link has the highest ratings. I was quite surprised since HOG was such a popular series and I though it had the highest. But anyway, I really love Family Link, probably my favorite modern series this year.

So you are watching HOG right now? How do you like it? Well, despite its praises and all, I didn't enjoy the series too much. But it did have some good scenes.

So you gave up on War and Destiny, huh? Hmm....I totally love the series....it was so good...Sunny was my favorite character, of course. I'm not a fan of his, but he's such a wonderful actor, I must admit. His character in Phoenix Rising was also as cool and intelligent. It's quite the same, but since you thought Sunny had less scenes in WAD, then probably you wouldn't want to watch PR since his character is smaller there. Hehe...btw, i really like him in green grass of home as well...he was sweet, but the character is forgetable.

drive of life....it was okay to a certain extent...i mean way to long of a series and it had many boring parts, but the love story between ray and charmaine is really worth your time...i really enjoyed all the torturous moments they went through. and of course miu was very funny...he made me laugh everytime he went onscreen...other than that, the series was pretty boring....lol

looking forward to catch me now as well...wondering when tvb is going to release the series since idy says she's finished filming it....

hope you have a wonderful new year!

andy: it's so nice to see you dropping by. i didnt know you're aware that my blog does exist lol... i didnt do much with advertising it to other sites.

Lil: i do love Sunny a lot. i know there are many praises for War & Destiny. i'm just not very fond of his mustache. i didnt give up on it like i did with the Drive of Life. i just didnt have time to finish it; same reason with Heart of Greed. as of right now, i'm more interested in watching older series (80s-mid 90s). i did watch Phoenix Rising and it was very good. i like Sunny's character a lot in there but i thought that Krystal doesnt suit Sunny very well. with such a sweet love story, i would wish it was my Kenix who plays that role lol... or any actress that i like. oh well... however, PR was too depressing that i dont think i'll watch it again any time soon.

as for Catch Me Now, i reckon it'll be out early next year, maybe before summer. dont take my word for it though since this is just my wild guess. as a low budget production, i dont think it'll take that long for TVB to edit. i just hope they WONT warehouse the series like they did with many.

Probably not entirely related to the topic, but I found a very cute clip of Kenix and Sunny from their days on A Kindred Spirit.

I really miss watching Kenix....

Hmmm...I guess it is sort of related to the ratings topic since KS was one of the highest rated serials from the mid-late 90s.
