I watched the first 5 episodes and have to say I'm really enjoying it. I guess it was good to start with low expectations lol. You know how sometimes there are storylines you don't care for and just have to fast forward, well not this time. So far I enjoy everyone's storyline. Started off thinking I would skip Kaman Kong's 'cause I never cared for her, but here she's funny and I love her scenes with Timothy Cheng. Seriously can't go wrong with Timothy. Still not sure how I feel about Mo and Katy as a couple, but I love Katy's portrayal of her character. She's freakin' cute and some scenes with her brothers made me for real laugh out loud. Mo is as always silly, but he makes it work, and it's not over the top. But remember how he said he didn't speak English; that was a lie. He probably said like 10 words already lol. Also, did you guys catch the mention of Leung Shan Bak & Zuk Ying Tai? Nice easter egg.

I thought I should update before they release more and I can't keep up. Episodes 6-10 focused on character introductions, but also resolved King's issues. It was fun watching him get banged up, reminded me of that scene in The Gentle Crackdown. His dancing was okay, not bad for someone who only practiced for 4 hours, but please no more lol. There were so many funny scenes in episode 11. I don't think this show is appropriate for kids. Wasn't it originally meant to air at 9:30?

03.01.23:
Poor Judy who had to deal with that nose hair. Um Mo, sir, can you please keep up with your appearances lol.
I'm going to watch ep 23 now. The past week was crazy. I really enjoy the humor. Mo does deadpan humor well. Can they do another show with the same kinda premise and humor?? I actually want Mo to do a sitcom now. This show sometimes felt that way and I like it.

Mo mentioned how he needs to be in different genres and work with different people to evolve as an actor. I totally agree so can he request to be in a small production or even just work with other people??

Updated:
Mo said he wants to be in a historical drama and wants to portray Qin Shi Huang the most. I actually want to see him in a historical drama. Different scenery and maybe then he'll act differently from his modern day self.

When I first heard the storyline, I was excited, but now I don't know how I feel. After watching the clips, it looks cheesy lol. Also Mo and Katy just don't give off couple vibes. I think I mentioned this last time.

It's finally airing, but I don't know how I feel about it. It's hard to say when there's no new footage from the show.

Mo obviously didn't get the memo...everyone else dressed for Xmas lol. He probably came straight from filming.
I didn't like the focus on guns in the teaser for Romeo. Honestly, it was kinda cringey.
So surprised that he is doing his own variety again!
Lastly, the release of Treasure of Destiny has been postponed. Mainland wants to air it as well, but taking their sweet time editing it?? Please, just let us watch it first as is.

You can see Mo in the audience chatting with Katy for a bit.
I was going to make a whole post after I saw that interview he did almost a week ago about Camilla's Covid infection and Aimee's transformation for her role, but it's a bit late now lol. In the post, I was going to rant about how wild his hair is. I guess it's staying for the drama. He looks like a mad scientist or vagabond... at least he trimmed his facial hair. Why can't he look cool like Aimee?!

Big White Duel II:
TVB for reals just used the same teaser as last year. The storyline is probably the same, but come on, Nancy has short hair in the actual finished product.

Sutra of Forty-two Chapters:
The part with the girls doing their moves was a bit tacky lol. But I do look forward to this one. And yay, Mo and Timothy Cheng together again after Death by Zero. Bring on the bromance!!

Mo looks so big and goofy next to his co-stars during red carpet lol. I love his simple attire.
I was hoping we would get a new teaser for Duel, but after watching the E-News video, I think they showed the one from last year. Please let me be wrong.

Oh man, this update took me a while. I had to read up on the history of Kangxi Emperor and Oboi. Good thing Wiki went straight to the point lol.
I love how the news article mentioned that he can't add English. Yes, thank you!! That's a win for everyone. Hahaha!!
I also love how Katy has facial hair to match Oboi's signature feature. She said she'll have even more than what we're currently seeing. OMG, it's going to be super hilarious.
Now that I know that they were against each other in their past life, I look forward to watching their relationship unfold.
So I guess the leaked synopsis is the actual story?? I wish there were some confirmation.

Updated 09.14.21:
Updated with the correct connection between the characters and historical figures.
Wow, this show is gonna be crazy interesting and fun if done right.
