It actually pains me to write this review because I really wanted to like this reboot. For starters, no Nancy Sit already gave this drama the perfect opportunity to be at least as good as the original TV series. Add on top of that sexy Regina and Hubert Wu, the star of the "Exorcist Meter" series, who also sings some of the best TVB songs, and you have a pretty good chance of making "A Love of No Words" a hit.

I definitely blame the writers far more than the actors because they got the storyline wrong. First of all, the reboot should have been set in Macao like the original. Macao is known for its Casinos and Shows. Think of Britney Spears in Vegas. In her heyday, Q Yee, like Britney, would perform and sing on stage in shows. Like Britney, Q Yee was tremendously popular. There is just no way Q yee performed in Hong Kong. It's like saying Britney began performing in Bristol instead of Vegas, which is a far louder city and never sleeps.

Not setting the TV series in Macao also meant that none of the characters had to travel anywhere outside of Hong Kong. So the setting not only ruined the characters' background stories, but it also restricted what they could have said and done to and with each other in the other episodes.

Second of all, Regina was unbearable as Kwan Ho. She put on this totally unnecessary, high-pitched voice, wouldn’t stop yelling and just seemed to refuse to act her age. Wearing her stupid, tea-cosy sized berets, it came to the point I couldn't stand seeing her on screen. And it's really painful for me to write such a negative review about Regina because she has proven time and time again that she is very, very talented. She is definitely my favourite host on "Home Sweet Home"; she is the professional KOL, who can make crazily overpriced properties in HK sound pretty nice.

She was also excellent in "Airport Strikers" and "Armed Reaction 2021" because in both TV series, she was a sex symbol. In "Airport Strikers", as Yeung Ming's young, attractive girlfriend, she was creating quite the buzz online with her online videos. Her character cheated on him but it was impossible to hate her because Yeung Ming's character just didn't get her career ambitions. The same can be said when she played Fred Cheng's character's sexy but loyal girlfriend, who sacrificed her life to save his. She knocked it out of the park both times!

I think these are the 2 main reasons why this drama is a flop. Although all the other actors and actresses did a sterling job, without the right setting, and without a leading actress who can put her signature stamp on a character, "A Love of No Words" was destined to fail miserably from the start.
