Just unwatchable - Chin Pang pulls it off again!

Don't know what more I can say really about Chin Pang and this drama given that I couldn't sit through the first episode.

I just can't stand Chin Pang because he keeps trying to come off as a hotshot, you know, that guy who is too cool for school (he's definitely too old to pass off as a student at a school or university) and irresistible to women, like he's China's answer to James Bond or something.

The TVB projects I guess he picks always has far too many unnecessary action scenes. Someone really should tell whoever is in charge of these projects that even the best fight choreography is not a substitute for good dialogue, a good script that at least tries to explore the human condition on some level beyond just the literal. The annoying thing about his TV dramas is he always seems to be having more fun than the viewer. That to me is not only extremely selfish, but also a sign that there is something seriously wrong with casting and the creative process at TVB. I'm not saying someone should be fired but there should be some training programmes in place for the script writers. Some script writers at TVB would then be able to learn how to write something that doesn't rely exclusively on action scenes, and a TV star who can't get over himself.

Quite honestly, I am unable to believe in any of the characters Chin Pang plays. When I watch Chin Pang on TV, I am reminded of his short TVB Covid interview. In it, he says in the past he had doubts about whether he would one day become a lead actor, and had to work really hard to get to where he is now (the top of the TVB acting food chain I guess). What's wrong with being a supporting actor? Maybe instead of trying to stand out from the crowd, how about just trying to play the part you've been given to the best of your ability? Like I said, I really can't stand Chin Pang.
