Another Sequel?!

TVB will be filming a sequel to "The Gentle Crackdown"; however, Moses Chan and Niki Chow are both not in it. They will be replaced by Steven Ma and singer Yumiko Cheng. On June 22, 2006, I did an entry on a series synopsis for the sequel, but I had Yoyo Mung in it.

Now, the question is, why is TVB making so many sequels this year? Last December, they announced "Forensic Heroes II" will be filming this July. Just the day before, TVB held a meeting and said "Survivor’s Law II" will be filming on March 8, 2007. Has TVB run out of ideas? You would think that since they have two long dramas in filming process, TVB would have to come up with a few fresh ideas, but instead they resort to their old dramas and steal old ideas.

The second question, who crapped and made Yumiko main? There are plenty of 'fa dans' not filming right now. Why in the world would TVB cast Yumiko to be female lead? Oh, I forgot that Yumiko has EEG as her backup. They probably paid their way through to get the role just like all their music awards, or is TVB giving her, and I quote from my little sister, a "pants dropping comeback" for losing her pants in front of a live audience and having the clip broadcast on YouTube?

Thirdly, why would TVB make sequels without the original cast? Why call it a sequel then? Seriously, Yumiko is the worst of the worst. She has the most absolute laziest tongue in the industry. She can't speak, sing, or dance. It's unbelievable that she is going to be female lead.
