Fate Twisters (2003)

Good show with an unremarkable storyline and one annoying minor character

Personally, I first watched this show back in 2003 and re watched it again last year.

The real reason I watched this show is not because of Lawrence Ng and Ada Choi but for Edde Kwan and Gigi Lai. Their first formal on-screen collaboration was The Link back in 1993 that also stars Ada Choi. With that TVB drama 'The Link, Eddie Kwan and Gigi Lai became my Favorite on-screen couple.

As I said, pretty good show except for one thing or one minor character that ruined this show for me- Joey Chai.
Yes, that rich girl who fancied Ken, Eddie Kwan 's character. While she is not an evil person, I find her aggravatingly annoying, childish and pathetic.
In Episode 7, she cancelled a work meeting for Ken without his consent just so he can go to the UK with her. It is so obvious that Eddie is just not into her and only pursued her under Amy's influence. Honestly, is this Joey really that clueless??? Joey just gets on my nerves no end- she is kind of 'man-crazy' and shameless. If I were Ken, I won't fall for her either.
Like I said, Eddie and Gigi is my favorite couple and I really resented that this rich girl Joey Chai just got involved with Ken.
Whenever Joey 's scenes with Ken are screened, I just skip over. Hurts my eyes.

The producers also killed off Amy at the end, which leaves the possibility of Eddie marrying this Joey Chai after his jail term is completed (Amy, Gigi 's character had tried to frame him for murder of someone, and he had killed Amy in rage). I wished Amy had repented of her evil deeds and accepted ken 's love. I just didn't want Ken to end up with that Joey due to my intense dislike for this character. Thumbs down. Should have killed Joey Chai off instead.

Honestly, the actress playing Joey Chai is not even on the list of casts for this platform., which I suppose is a good thing. Not going to name her but in terms of looks, she is far from beautiful and is certainly no match for Gigi 's beauty and fame. And Eddie Kwan is too handsome for this small-time actress playing Joey. Yuck.
