Personal Note: In HK, it should be the Counter Terrorism Response Unit (CTRU), so not sure why it is the Anti-Terrorist Force (ATF) in this series....
Happy that Ron will be playing a cop in which the profession is actually the focus of the series. :D
Glad that Ruco and Yoyo will be a pair. :) Since they are regulars in Amy Wong's series, expecting that their roles in here will be quite prominent. Although this is a male-oriented series, Yoyo's character seems quite interesting...looking forward to it! :D
Aimee's wig is so 囧! Why do the female leads in Amy Wong's series have to wear unflattering wigs?! Esther in "Burning Flame", Myolie in "Burning Flame III", Fala in "The Stew of Life"....
Enjoyed Ron and Yoyo's interactions during the interview; hope that they will have more interactions in the series even though they are not a pair. :P

Agree, Aimee's wig is so bad. What is the weird obsession of wigs with Amy Wong? Why don't they just have Aimee grow out her hair instead? Though I agree she is one of the very very few actresses that pulls off the short hair very well.
ReplyDeleteLike Yoyo's look! Looks like another good character for Yoyo, intriguing!
Just remembered..didn't Aimee have long hair for Psychological Warfare?? And she looked good in it..Was that a wig too?
ReplyDeleteYoyo's image reminds me so much of role in Burning Flame 2 I guess it's the glasses they quite dorky doesn't really look like a reporter or spy.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship line is so similar to BF3's draggy love line that it makes me lose confidence in this series. The idea that they had to make Ruco somehow disappear just to allow Ron and Aimee to start dating is exactly like Wong Hei's coma to allow Myolie and Kevin together! Having both brother like the same girl is fine but why can't they resolve the problem normally?
I'm hoping this series will only be 20/25 eps especially since Ruco will only disappear in the middle that means his relationship with Aimee and her struggle between the brothers will drag on for a long time! And I seriously hope not.
Aren't the anti terrorism unit for hong kong called CTRU for Counter Terrorism Response Unit???
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they have it as ATF (I think it stands for Anti Terrorism Force)
The pairings in ATF are definitely refreshing, but it's sad to see Aimee leading over Yoyo (even if it's shared).
ReplyDeleteI feel like Yoyo is just filming for the sake of it. TVB is not pairing her up with A-line actors anymore. =/
To Michelle:
ReplyDeleteYes, Aimee wore a wig in "Psychological Warfare".
To Kimmy:
In HK, it should be the Counter Terrorism Response Unit (CTRU), so not sure why it is ATF in this series....
To Tracy:
TVB doesn't really have any A-list actors anymore....
