Yup, so I always give the TVB ancient serials a miss. First, the stories aren't that fantastic which I can relate to, then the language is a challenge for me at times.....

haha...those ancient words must be a big headache to actors and actresses as well...

" Shall I compare thee to a ..." ---It's really a misery for me to memorize when I took the course of English literature while I was in university.

We had to study Shakespeare for high school.....at least 6 or 7 altogether.

I think with ancient series, it becomes easier to understand if you watch more. It's just the same types of words and lines over and over again.

Good series, or Shakespeare?

Honestly, I think a good series to go with is "A Step Into The Past". It may be old...but it is good. And because the story tells of Louis Koo Tin Lok going back to the past from the present, there is alot of modern language mixed into the ancient language. Unfortunately, Maggie is not in this one though

CCG? That is my very first TV drama downloaded online....it is a good and funny one but I do not like the ending...one husband, two wives

Talking about ancient dramas, Maggie once in the interview mentioned that she preferred acting in ancient costumes and make-ups than the modern ones...cos she did not like time wasted in changing dresses in those modern production, a very funny excuse...

Haha that is very cute...such a practical person! Maggie does look lovely in ancient costume though, which is why I've chosen this signature. But then again, she also looks fantastic in modern....haha....

I watched CCG when I was a big fan of Louis, I wanted to watch it and my dad rented the tapes for me The ending was very strange, from the point of view of people who live in present times (all of us...). I thought it was appropriate though, the only other way would be to kill one of them.

Mimi, can I ask, do you speak Cantonese or Mandarin? It's just I noticed CCG would be the Cantonese pronounciation wouldn't it?

I speak...broken Cantonese...haha...CCG is the Cantonese pronunciation, u are right

I saw CCG but I do not like Sonjia...that's why I do not like the ending... it's ugly when Louis kissed jessica first, then Sonjia...

I love Maggie in modern dramas...It is fun to read Maggie's interviews becuase she always comes up with various "strange" reasons and interpretations for different things...she is very imaginative...haha
