TVB Programme Highlights 2009 Issue 1

*Credits to AC @ My Favorite TVB for the scans!

"Man in Charge" and "Just Love II"

"Man in Charge" is finally releasing! I've waited so long for this. It is will air after "The Winter Melon Tale" on Monday, April 6, 2009, at 8:30pm. The series was filmed in May 2007, but there is no way TVB was going to warehouse it. Just like "D.I.E.", if they were going to warehouse it, wouldn't it have been released overseas? Out of all these six series on this highlight, only Ma Ming and Kate's names are mentioned in the series description. That is because the description was taken from a previous highlight. I like the look of the poster! Also, both Ma Ming and Matthew Ko sing the theme song.

As for "Just Love II", I don't know what they are going to talk about in this sequel. Didn't Johnson Lee end up with Fiona Yuen?

"The Threshold of a Persona" and "The King of Snookers"

TVB finally decides to place Yoyo's name second in "The Threshold of a Persona". Her name was fourth at the costume fitting. Nothing about this series interests me at all. Not the producer, Marco Law Wing Yin, not the series topic, and not even the cast. Didn't Catherine Tsang and Marco learn their lesson from "Always Ready"? What's up with the colour of the poster? It seems as though the light has washed out the white in their uniforms making it look as though they are wearing scrubs with badges and hats. To me, this series has the potential to be a warehoused series.

I usually watch Adam Cheng series, but Patrick Tang takes the interest away from "The King of Snookers". Stephen Chan is trying to push Patrick up to siu sang status. Too bad Sammul Chan was filming "Wong Lo Fu Snatches Wife"...my interest for this would so come back! Ha ha.... As for the poster, you would think that Adam would be shooting the pool ball instead of Patrick. Rumour has it that both Adam and Patrick sing the theme. Since when does Adam share a theme song with somebody other than Liza Wang?

"Rosy Business" and "The Beauty of the Game"

I am very looking forward to "Rosy Business". Not only do Kate and Patrick have two series in this highlight, but producer Lee Tim Sing also has two series in here. The series is worth watching from just looking at the list of 實力派s like Sheren Tang, Wayne Lai, Kiki Sheung, Kara Hui, Elliot Yue, Susan Tse, etc. As for the English title, the definition of 'rosy' is bright, cheerful, and optimistic. Maybe that is why Ron and Kiki are smiling in this poster. I absolutely love Ron's bald look! Ha ha.... Ron also sings the theme song.

The only thing that I like about "The Beauty of the Game" is the English title (the play on the entertainment business being a game). Other than that, this also has the potential to be warehoused.
