sherryillkYesterday, my parents watching a TVB drama so I was left with scrambling to find something for them to watch. That lead me to D-addicts, a place I’ve frequented a lot for J-dramas but I never thought to look there for TVB stuff. But I should have thought of it before. I mean it does Asian dramas – I’ve even downloaded Korean and Taiwanese stuff from there so why shouldn’t they have stuff from HK as well? And there’s Megaupload links! Oh my god! I don’t have to muddle my way through BT! So happy!!!
And I caved with Megaupload... I was feeling really frustrated since I had to wait 45 seconds (and then 25 seconds after I got the free membership) and having to wait like 233 minutes because I exceeded the download limit. So I went and bought myself a premium account. Besides, I get a free month with the purchase so... I still don't quite know what that means in terms of uploading and other stuff besides downloading really, really fast and without waiting, plus multiple downloads at once! Sure, it's only for a limited time, but for right now when I'm in TVB stuff and I can download tons of stuff, it's absolutely perfect, even if it's for a small fee.
Right now I'm into Welcome to the House, the old TVB sitcom. And I'm downloaded Sweet Hot and Sour (I think the name has been changed to something else now...) which is also the new sitcom. The older one is a bit more interesting and a bit more funny. And I've got Brink of Law! I have yet to watch it, but I will. ^^ So happy about this! ^^
There are still a few dramas that I can't get though... Like War and Destiny and Net Deception... I suspect I"ll have to muddle my way through BT with those. :\
I'm shocked though. There are so many more non-Chinese people in TVB shows now. I 've been so out of it that I didn't even notice! I mean sure there was one or two people but I'm seeing more and more of them now... It gives me such a kick to see them speaking Cantonese. And I'm a bit in awe of them -- Cantonese is really hard to learn! The fact that they can do it well is pretty awesome. I mean I'm Cantonese myself and I totally suck at it. Okay, I'm off to try Brink of Law -- hopefully it's good. I need a good law drama right about now. :)
edit x1: Oh my god, Brink of Law is wonderful! I'm totally in love with it and I think I found the next show my parents will be watching. I'm still not quite sure of all the characters' names but Ron Ng and Steven Ma are in it! ^^ I think their characters are totally gay for each other even if they both have their own love interests. And like any typical TVB drama, each seems to have more than one. It'll be interesting to see how this show ends because you've got some very evil people, some cops and lawyers plus friends and potential girlfriends added into the mix. It's dirty and complicated but hopefully it'll be a wonderful show.
And I think I found my next big show -- The Drive of Life. It's supposedly the next 60 episode TVB drama dealing with the 10th anniversary of the handover of HK back to China. Everyone is predicting it to be awesome and from what I know about it now, I think it will be pretty good. I can't wait for the first episode! I mean a show that spans 10 years? And it's a joint with CCTV! I'm still not quite sure that's a good thing yet but we'll see. I'll definitely be one of the first to download this show.
