Overview - Oh My Grad



The school established by Wu Fung and Helena Law is a low requirement, low tuition institution that has quietly cultivated teachers. Faced with an academic fraud scandal and financial crisis, they urgently call on their sons, Roger Kwok and Bob Lam, to save the school. Roger serves as the school's principal, while Bob serves as a member of the school council, but the brothers' philosophies towards education are polar opposites. To avoid adding to the mess, they hire public relations specialist Ada Choi to fix the situation. Roger, who lacks managerial experience, is unhappy with Ada's profit-oriented methods. But not only does Ada ignore him, she gets stronger as she goes, as she is directed by the school management committee to help wealthy heir Babyjohn Choi graduate. However, Babyjohn does not care about studying and instead, becomes involved in a love triangle with Thai-Chinese student Eliza Sam and mahjong expert Mag Lam. Meanwhile, Mag's arch-nemeses, May Chan and Momo Wu, spread rumours that Mag is in a May-December relationship with fellow classmate Ram Chiang. In addition, there is the gangster Louis Cheung and the secretive Wong Cho Lam. The school is finally forced to the brink by these extraordinary students...


This series should be called "Oh My God (why was this ever made?)"

Official Poster for Beauty At War



Comment: Notice the bird and the cage. I suppose it's an analogy for how the people in the palace wish to be freed from the cage that is Forbidden City. Pretty subtle.

So excited!!! I hope it will be as good as the original. The best thing about the original is the unpredictability and quick pace. I will have at least one Historical Context post, so look out for that!

Overview - Beauty At War



Christine Ng purposely spreads rumours in the palace to vent out her displeasure of her sister Sheren Tang. Ada Choi, a wet nurse, uses the opportunity to make money by helping others investigate the truth to the rumours. She becomes Sheren’s most trusted confidant and the two share a sisterly bond, until the arrival of a Kunqu troupe. The performers, Moses Chan and Eddie Kwan, move the hearts of many within the harem, including the lonely Christine. Worried that Christine will make a grave error in judgement, Sheren devises a fool-proof plan. But instead, it causes her to become entangled in the complicated relationship between Ada and Moses. To get back at Sheren, Christine allies with diviner Kenny Wong. Outsiders may see Kenny as a lunatic, but those involved know that what really drives people crazy is Forbidden City itself…

Comment: War and Beauty is one of my all-time favourite dramas. I remember finishing it in 3 days. I hope the sequel lives up to the name. Everyone has different characters in the sequel except for Sheren. She reprises her role as Yu Fei, but according to her interviews, Yu Fei is more peace-loving this time around.
