ASTRO ON DEMAND. ASTRO ON DEMAND. ASTRO ON DEMAND.

Its everywhere. IT IS TOTALLY OVERRATED. 60 episodes.
Mega production with tonnes of cast. Watch or don’t watch? YOUR VERDICT.

From TV ad’s on the Magnificent Shiny Disc Hero (the idiot fella who sells dvd on series and everyone saying “TAI JOR LOH, watch already!” to him), to Billboards on highway (yes!! billboards with Michael Mui, Jessica Hsuan, Charmaine Sheh, Raymond Lam, Joe Ma, Toby Leung, Damien Lau, Ron Ng.. AHH PLENTY!!), Radio Commercial and 3 channels that are dedicated to AOD on Astro. Channel 36, 931, 913. A production by Poon Ka Tak and Tommy Leung.

Did anyone of you actually subscribe to that channel? Well I didn’t but I am currently catching the one week free preview of Drive. So I’m done with episode one. Whats my say? I’ve got some high expectations on this series when they started choosing the cast. As you can see there’s 16 leads on this series. Strong cast and grand production.  A collaboration TVB with CCTV China.  What interest me is the filming teasers and also previews online are always up to date for this series…COVERAGE are all post. Spoilers are leaked. Well I dig spoilers.

Not much on the first episode.. but I’ve enjoyed Sheren Tang’s (Wong Siu Fun) bitchings on Damien Lau (Wah Man Hang). The way she being protective for her husband Michael Miu (Wah Man Sek) and the way she talk to her father. An act of a sassy wife and fierce arrogant kinda woman. Totally DA BOMB! On the other way.. Damien Lau pissed me off in this series.. well maybe its the beginning and the trailers made me feel so. Personally, I would rather watch him with characters in The Greed of Man. Totally pityful and touching… rather than in Drive. A rather cold and arrogant man. Well this is the beginning lets continue and watch. On episode one, they emphasizes on the status for each of the role and created an intorduction for the 3 brothers which is Damien Lau, Michael Miu and Liu Ging Sang.

Follow up after the veteran actors/actress, Joe Ma as the Executive in the steel company which is somehow a good person and turns evil later and Jessica Hsuan appears as the Finance department manager later becoming an automobile designer. Jessica’s role is interesting enough. She’s sweet, intelligent and of course.. she is pretty.

So while I will be still watching Drive for the whole week expect updates and reviews from me. I’ll find a way to continue this series after the AOD TRIAL ends. Most probably this series I think its worth watching if you have the patience.

Anyhow I still think that THRESHOLD OF AN ERA I & II is the best mega production ever made by TVB.
