Personal Note: Ma Ming and Tavia are playing residents?! 囧! No wonder Ma Ming's hairstyle looked so youthful here....
Quite surprised about the romantic storylines...hope that they won't be too 囧.... Also hope that the profession is the focus of the series, but not holding high expectations, since this is a TVB series after all....
Don't know why Him's shirt was not tucked in..... o_O
This should be the sixth time in which Mary Jeh and Tavia have played mother and daughter, as they also played mother and daughter in "Eternal Happiness", "Shades of Truth", "Fathers and Sons", "The Rippling Blossom", and "The Other Truth".

agree : Ma Ming and Tavia are playing residents?! 囧!
ReplyDeleteI thought they were Doctors already...hmmm....
^ Technically they're all doctors already anyway. Residents have already graduated from medical school and carry the MD title. It's just that they need more training to be certified to practice, etc. Kenneth & Tavia might not be too believable as Attendings. Don't know about the HK medical system and a la Grey's Anatomy, Kenneth & Tavia are playing Residents while the young ones are interns (first years). Like Callie/Bailey were already in their 3rd/4th year residencies while Meredith, Cristina, Alex, Izzie were in their 1st year after graduation.
ReplyDelete^ What I mean was maybe that's the case..
ReplyDeleteHaha, and Mary has played Tavia's mother-in-law a couple times as well. xD
ReplyDeleteyeah, Michelle's right, residents are doctors, usually residencies lasts on average 5 years, and during those 5 years, they sub-specialize (Kenneth in neuro, Tavia in cardio for example). In real life, they are old enough to be staff, but in the show they're probably playing younger characters, and in this case, chances are Kenneth and Tavia are probably R4/R5 which are 'ranked' higher than R1/2/3s so they are still leading them, and teaching them. There's a whole pecking order in the medical system...
ReplyDeleteTo Michelle & AnKei:
ReplyDeleteIt would make sense for Ma Ming and Tavia to play third or fourth year residents, but it was misleading how many of the media reports referred to them as '醫生' (and removed '實集') to differentiate them from the newcomers, even though Ma Ming and Tavia are also portraying 實集醫生s.
@hyn5: I agree! What's with the love triangles? Why can't TVB for once tone the love stories down and focus on profession? But they won't do that because how else would they create rumors? :P
ReplyDeleteBTW, kind of weird how MM said that PKT told him not to kiss Tata in here!
Do you have a youtube version of the clips? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes Tavia and kenneth must be potraying senior residents, while Him and Mandy are first or 2nd years. It doesn't make sense if they're all potrayed as same ages.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for Kenneth that he got himself a promising series such as this :). I'm looking forward for Kenneth and Mandy the most.
To Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't.
To hyn5:
ReplyDeleteIts okay :)Thanks for all the info given here, very useful!
would you mind translate that clips to English for me? :)
ReplyDeleteWEAK CAST? No strong lead actors and actress . . . not counting Tavia horrible crying scene.
ReplyDeleteweak cast?? we haven't even seen the serie n u saying is a weak cast/no strong lead actors/actress wow u r fast at assuming things n it just started film.We don't know if is a weak cast or not when we haven't even seen it yet maybe the cast will surprise us give them chances man! especially him n mandy i like their acting they r okay n getting promoted
ReplyDelete@anonymous#1
ReplyDeleteIt's unfair to say weak cast. The producer is good and the most important is script. Besides Him and Mandy are the most promising TVB newcomer
i like kenneth's hairstyle. it suits him more than his hair in mysteries of love
ReplyDeletefinally, at least this looks more promising than "My Sister of Eternal Flower"
ReplyDeleteSooo.. It's a possible Kenneth/Tavia pairing.. If so I'm pleased!
ReplyDeleteAlso.. Him Law... I'm neutral about him hehe, never got swept up in the hype over him but looking forward to this series nevertheless!!
