Overview - Big White Duel

Health care reform in Hong Kong is imperative. A radical proposal is to privatize public hospitals and raise funds from the stock market to sustain their operations. The leading public hospital becomes the experiment for this reform proposal. Vice president and head of neurosurgery Roger Kwok has planned for five years to turn the hospital into a medical empire worth over $100 million and covets being its top decision-maker! The head of cardiology, Kenneth Ma, has a different philosophy from Roger. Guided by a philosophy of protecting a patient's life and putting human life ahead of the medical system, Kenneth and his mentee Matthew Ho fight side by side. Yet they are pulled into the power struggle for counter-reform by the hospital's president, John Chiang. Roger, Kenneth, cardiologist Ali Lee, emergency room doctor Natalie Tong and neurologist Kelly Cheung are strong people in white robes. Their opponent is not only disease, but human greed.

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?)"

Overview - The Last Healer in Forbidden City

After the failures of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Hundred Days Reform, the Emperor Pierre Ngo is placed under house arrest by Empress Dowager Helena Law. Roger Kwok, a physician with exceptional medical skills, is summoned into the palace to treat the Empress Dowager's strange illness. When she recovers without medication, she is delighted and appoints Roger to the position of Imperial Physician. Although Roger knows that "accompanying the ruler is like accompanying a tiger", he reluctantly accepts. As Imperial Physician, Roger deftly cures strange diseases and solves cold cases. As a result of his long-term treatment of the Emperor and helping with the Emperor and consort Rebecca Zhu's romance, he gains the trust of the Emperor.
Although Roger is a famous physician, he is unable to help his disabled wife JJ Jia. Instead, he has to rely on Chinese chiropractor, Tavia Yeung, who inherited a massaging technique that can alleviate JJ's pain. Under Roger's recommendation, Tavia enters the palace to give massages to the Empress Dowager. In the process, Tavia and Roger not only establish a friendship, but even develop feelings for each other. However, due to JJ's presence, they keep their feelings in their hearts. It turns out that Tavia entered the palace with a secret mission linked to a plot that can shake the Qing Dynasty! In this late-Qing era, can Roger and Tavia fully retreat from the political storm that involves the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, his Consort and others?

Black Heart White Soul Review

Producer: Amy Wong
Genre: Modern thriller
Cast: Roger Kwok, Kristal Tin, Ron Ng, Louis Cheung, Waise Lee, Leanne Li, Lisa Lau
Review:
Black Heart White Soul is a fast-paced gripping thriller. It has an intense plot with a lot of unexpected twists and brilliant schemes. The story follows along in a logical way with all the parts closely linked together. The characters are intriguing and fleshed out. Each of them has their own ulterior motives, which serves as the main driving force of the series. The police are still made to look incompetent, but at least the lawyers know how to make a proper rebuttal this time.
The series makes the point that no one is completely good or completely bad. For example, the villains still have a good side, showing their love towards their wife, lover or daughter. And the “righteous” hero, Ron Ng, still uses morally questionable tactics to achieve his goals. It illustrates that there are plenty of grey areas in life; sometimes good or bad depends on the circumstances or perspective. I love the ending where there isn't a sudden epiphany on the part of the bad guys and they all turn good.
Roger Kwok is the perfect fit for the role of “Matt”. He maintains a sincere outer appearance, while slowly letting his inner evilness seep through. I don’t know who else can do that sly smile as well as Roger. Kristal Tin’s role requires a lot of emotional scenes, which she handles well, but she was somewhat overshadowed by everyone else. Ron Ng is in yet another hot-headed police role, except this time he is an all-round jerk as well. He has the same facial expression throughout the whole drama, which is the exact same one he had in Ruse of Engagement. The only thing that changes is his hairstyle and not in a good way either.
Louis Cheung is an actor I quite admire. He has done a good job in every role he’s had so far and it’s no different in here. Leanne Li has improved as an actress; she was very into her character, especially in the last confrontation scene with her husband. Vivian Yeo has also improved, but unfortunately had a limited role to play. May Chan has a generally likeable character, but she is sometimes annoying for being so loud-mouthed. She makes a good couple with Ho Yuen Tung. As for Lisa Lau, to put it bluntly, her face was too distracting for me to notice her acting. Jason Chan had a minor role that disappeared after a few episodes, but even in that short amount of time, he manages to be the worst actor in the series. He acted nothing like a lawyer, let alone a hotshot one. Someone needs to glue his arms to his side.
Rating: 4.5/5

Meanwhile, Ron discovers that Roger was the bystander that he had mistakenly shot many years ago, causing Roger to become disabled. But instead of hatred, Roger treats Ron as his friend. Ever since Roger was injured, he was abandoned by his family and had to work twice as hard to survive. He finally makes a name for himself in the legal industry and is recruited by wealthy businessmen Louis Cheung and Waise Lee. However, whenever goodness is formed, there is evil. As Roger climbs higher, Ron becomes increasingly aware of his treachery. It seems like everyone, including Kristal, is falling into one trap after another, leaving a messy dilemma...

Official Poster for Awfully Lawful

Comment: Fittingly wacky poster for what should be a funny series. Eight main characters seem to be a lot; let's see if it can be handled without too much of a mess. One thing for sure, not a legal drama for aspiring lawyers.
