Ghetto Justice vs. The Other Truth

The Other Truth (真相) hasn't been aired yet, I was just browsing wikipedia today and noticed it scheduled after Ghetto Justice (怒火街頭).

I was already feeling slightly.. what's the word? gutted? that Ghetto only has 20 episodes whereas Yes Sir Sorry Sir had it's share of a draggy 30 episodes >_< Now I read that The Other Truth has 25.. 真係有D火爆loh =_= I mean, they're both drama series airing at the same time slot, and both talk about lawyers. If anything Ghetto sounded a better plot to me - okay, maybe I'm slightly biased since Myolie is one of my favourites ever since I was 7 :P But so is Tavia... It just feels like they're promoting Tavia's series more these day? There were like.. what.. 2 promotions for Ghetto which goes to show how much tvb loved them ¬¬ But they've got good ratings so YAY we'll be able to see Ghetto Justice 2 ^__^ All the cases for The Other Truth are listed on wikipedia already O__O Way to get people interested -_- Nevertheless, I will be watching this, and I bet it's going to be good :) I'm just unhappy about the episode difference :S Ghetto has so much potential to handle more episodes, I really feel like at episode 15 now, that the series is only half-way through >_<

Though The Other Truth seems a bit more sinister than Ghetto :/ I don't really know what to think about this yet.

On another note, I'm soooo anticipating episode 16 of Ghetto~~ Wong Si Fu moves to the dark side, and Kevin's got himself involved in something bad T^T Why does it now seem like the synopsis is opposite to what is happening? S:

P.S. Kevin does NOT look 41 AT ALL O__O

Ghetto Justice *spoiler* - random finding on youtube...

Click here to see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHuM6gxxhQs&t=9m57s
Starts at 9 min 57 seconds

I was just looking through random clips of things about Ghetto Justice when I came across loads of videos of this promotional event. There are quite a few spoilers in it so watch out! At the start of the clip there's some involving the other charaters but I just focused on Wong See Fu and L.A's...

It just sort of got shocked when I saw it lol... I mean, I was expecting some sort of love between them but not some straight out bed/kissing scene O__O I saw it and I thought: This is the '痛腳' that L.A was talking about >< It's gonna get him in a mush :/ I think I was most shocked whent he presenters of the event told themt o react the scene O__O I mean, like Myolie was saying, theres KIDS watching the thing ¬__¬ I don't like how they need to 靠 bed scenes to get ratings up :S This drama is good enough with it's cases already =_= Oh yeah, I heard some people saying this is like a Korean drama? Meh.. whatever XD Anyway, I think Myolie and Kevin are a cute on-screen couple ^^ I love the arguments and the sweetness/not willing to admit they're in love-ness at this stage (episode 13) :P EDIT: I haven't watched burning flame 3 >_< I was on holiday at the time lol but i just realised they were a couple there too? or at least.. ish?

從無人明白得到相愛的意義

結局就讓我知
geet gook jau yeung ngoh jee
曾留下氣味與動作動蕩情節

心中位置 留下了是那心事

Ghetto Justice 怒火街頭 - thoughts

 

Casting: Kevin Cheng, Myolie Wu, Sam Lee, Lam Chi Sin, Joyce Tang, Sharon Chan, Shek Sau, Eddie Kwan

Executive Producer: Tong Kei Ming  Scriptwriter: Lau Choi Wan   Chan Kam Ling

LAW LIK-AH (Kevin Cheng) used to fight for personal fame and gain in the law field. After setting up a Legal Advice Centre with his cousin GEORGE MIKE JR. (Lam Chi Sin) and his good friend TING KA-FU (Sam Lee) in Sham Shui Po, LIK-AH changes his mind and realizes that law is not a privilege of the rich. By helping the grassroots to fight against injustice with unconventional tactics, LIK-AH becomes the People’s Hero of Sham Shui Po. Also working as a barrister, WONG SZ-FU (Myolie Wu) used to admire LIK-AH for his invincible performance in the field but she starts to look down upon him for he has been reduced to a ghetto lawyer. However, after a few court cases with him, the two start to appreciate and fall in love with each other. Trying to become one the elite practitioners in town, SZ-FU seizes every chance to get close to the renowned barrister TSEUNG PAK-KEI (Shek Sau). PAK-KEI enjoys playing tricks with law and SZ-FU is accidentally embroiled in a lawsuit because of him. In order to save SZ-FU, LIK-AH tries to challenge the law…

thoughts so far;

Yay, another law series ^o^ I’m quite the fan of the TVB dramas to do with law and police :D It’s nice of them to have smaller cases now instead of focusing on just the really big ones! After watching 6 episodes of this so far, I’ve realised that the summary (from tvb english site) doesn’t mention in detail any of Lik-Ah’s friends which are getting the majority of the screen-time atm. Interested to see what happens in episode 7 where (as the preview suggests) part of Lik-Ah’s ugly past is revealed ;D

Have Kevin and Myolie ever been paired up together in a drama before? I don’t recall seeing them together? Well, I think they’re going to be pretty interesting from the photos of the forced (?) kiss in the theme video XD

The first week ratings for this was 28, but really, i think this deserves more? I mean, it’s obviously not the best of the best in terms of tvb’s series but it’s better than a 28 :/  Hoping the ratings pass 30 for this week ;P

P.s. I like Kevin wearing his dodgy clothing better than his lawyer suit :D He looks more handsome that way and I don’t even know why hahaa XD
