Wednesday, April 30, 2008
For those who have watched The Master of Tai Chi, the fishing scene lasted for about...one minute before our dear Hiu Sing and Ji Kwai were interrupted. But! It was pure bliss while it lasted.
Thanks to Raymond fans and their handycams, we've got a behind-the-scenes clip (which, by the way, lasts longer than what eventually made the cut).
See 00:20-02:00
I love how Raymond tries to amuse Myolie, again. Flirting much? XD Persistent much? At least that's one Raymond trait we've got down to a pat. And it's interesting how everytime he finishes a take with Ellesmere he immediately glances back at Myolie for a split second. On a side note I'm also very amused by the guy who starts spraying their hair to keep it in shape during almost every break.
A picture speaks a thousand words, and there are quite a few pictures that have surfaced from this one shooting alone. So enough of the talk, pic spamming time! Click for a larger size.
Looking one way while every one looks the other. They call this "chemistry".
Rayolie looked uber fantastic during the 2005 Astro Awards. Besides the fact that they were obviously couple dressing, what they picked fit them really well.
Myolie's choice of dressing was simple but elegant. The gloves were a perfect match and she wore just the right choice of jewellery to complete the look.
Raymond picked the right dressing to complement his figure. Because the jacket is a v-shape it makes him look sleek. Plus he is just the right balance between smart and casual. It's also ingenious how he pushes his sleeves up. It's the classic way to look good.
Myolie seems a bit wary of the champagne no? But not to fret! Raymond is beside her.
He holds her hand as they walk upstage, sigh...And notice how they walk up like a couple, always on the same step while the other two people they respectively hold on to are either one step before or after them. And once they are onstage you can't see Myolie very clearly you know why? Because she's standing right next to Raymond, like a pair.
The most exciting part is at 01:00-01:06. They pop the champagne and she very naturally grabs hold of him, and he so naturally lets her. His smile is so wide it's amazing. It's like they are so used to doing things like that. Plus they move back to avoid the champagne the precise same way.
Such a photogenic moment.
UPDATE! Managed to find another clip of the two of them together.
See 00:00-00:39
At one point you can see Raymond turning to talk to Myolie (and by that we don't just mean head only, we mean the entire body position).
You know how it is when you have someone on your mind and you eat, sleep and dream about that someone until you start hallucinating?
Raymond demonstrates on his trip to Malaysia on 02/02/08.
See 02:22-02:32
The question the host throws to the crowd is whether they prefer Raymond with Linda or Bernice.
The crowd screams the respective names but Raymond goes: "I heard someone say Myolie."
LOL!
Of course, yes, we're not delusional, and we admit it might have just been a group of people screaming out Myolie's name. That's so sweet. Thank you dear fellow Rayolites in Malaysia!
P.S. If I had to choose between L or B, I'd have chosen B cos I have a super secret soft spot for Berray. ;D
Singapore has quite a few Rayolites too am I correct? This clip, from Myolie's trip to Singapore on January this year, is a nice sort of parallel to Raymond's clip.
See 00:51-1:48
Host thinks that Myolie should cut a CD since she sings really well. Myolie says she wishes to, and then immediately goes on to talk about Raymond's CD (fancy her bringing him up without prompting, how sweet), and how it's doing well. The crowd goes wild. She calls him "Ah Fung" so gently it's enough to melt a hundred hearts. Then she goes on to talk about The Drive of Life, this time afraid to mention Raymond's name, but she does in the end. To which the supporters go wild again.
I know psycho, xue, jessica, shuyi and a few others were there, yea? Thanks for spreading the Raymond/Rayolie love, and bringing it to youtube too! Next time please drag me along. Actually, no, I won't need dragging. XD
Here's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it clip back during the Eternal Happiness days when Raymond and Myolie were still fresh faced newbies in the entertainment industry.
Of course Myolie was such a minor character in the show some people don't even remember that she was in it at all.
See 00:04-00:08
This is not quite a Rayolie moment, since Raymond/Michelle were the lead couple and thus they would obviously be put together. But! They were only one person (the one person being Michelle of course) apart! Notice also that there were actually two people between Raymond and Myolie, but then it changed to one only. Someone had been trying hard to fill the distance? Heh.
Raymond and Myolie are very nice people, no? Yet for the sake of each other, there are times when they just have to snub people.
Evidence A: Interview with Raymond (the snubber) and Sharon (the snubbed) in Canada
See 05:55-07:00
Translation: siaoliao
Interviewer: When it comes to partners, is there anybody whom you work with a lot, or you like working with (she refers specifically to the opposite sex)? Raymond: I think I'll go first. Because if she picks me (points to Sharon) then I'll have to pick her. The person I've worked with the most is Myolie. Like in Golden Faith, Survivor's Law, and now we've just filmed The Master of Tai Chi. Our roles are very different this time round, and it's a rather big change, but the feelings and chemistry...there's quite a lot of sparks. Plus whether it's filming or practising our scripts, there's interaction (communication) between us.
----------------------------- Sometimes Raymond is like a dam, ain't he? He holds everything in, but when the gates open his words can't keep flowing. It's precisely the case when he mentions Myolie. In the rare point in time when he pauses, the interviewer immediately interjects to give Sharon a chance.
Evidence B: CCTV Interview with Myolie (the snubber) and Fung Shao Feng (the snubbed)
See 00:00-00:51
Translation: siaoliao
I: You've worked with a lot of male stars. Fans online ask, which male actor do you think you have the most chemistry with? F: Feng Shao Feng!! M: I must really say him? (LOL! Poor guy XD) I: You could say a little... F: You should say, "besides Feng Shao Feng" M: Actually I haven't acted with many...Just within the company I: Yes, we're mostly talking about within the company M: Raymond's not bad... I: (Awkward laugh) M: And...ehm...Bosco's not bad either. I: (Considerably better and louder reception)
---------------------------------- I like the way Myolie says Raymond's name so sweetly. Rayolie's always so sincere when they mention each other. And it's funny because she mentioned Raymond, and there's this short pause where she looks at the interviewer, and all the interviewer does is give this awkward laugh, thus Myolie has to continue. Was the interviewer expecting something more? I should think so, because it was really nice how she could so smoothly transit into the Bosco rumours once Myolie mentioned him.
P.S. Boscolie fans seen this? Like we said to the Fungyi fans, we at Rayolie Moments are always glad to be of service to other fandoms. Yes, that means even if you ship Myolie/Doggie. ;D
In any case, we now know that when it comes to praising each other, Rayolie knows no bounds. Plus, they think they work the best with one another. For fans like us, always craving for the next Rayolie series, what more could we ask for?
Photoshop is wonderful. It has the dual ability to either hide the truth, or reveal the truth. Let us demonstrate.
Document A:
Two lovely ladies, and our mystery of the day. Who, exactly, is Raymond looking at? At first look is seems to be...Charmaine? We've seen a few conflicting opinions.
But! Document B:
Click for the original sized picture, and photoshop reveals all! Raymond simply can't take his eyes off dear Myolie, and hey, it's oddly fitting that they are the ones who are holding the bouquet, almost as if he's giving the flowers to her, and she's receiving it. ;)
Also, they always have such bright smiles when they are together, no?
Ah, woe to the poor single shipper of Rayolie, that has to constantly find things to absorb the trauma of seeing Raymond and Myolie paired up with other people.
It's a very sad thing, because Raymond, especially, seems to have dated every female TVB celebrity under the age of 30.
ANYWAY.
In an effort to impress Myolie with his shiny dancing skills, we end up with this:
I like how Raymond tries very hard, dances only for Myolie, and his efforts totally pay off.
Raymond Lam Fung, always smooth with the dancingladies lady.
Ah, the infamous slouching clip. Clips like these are why Rayolites (as in, Rayolie fans) love Raymond fans, especially Chinese ones. Because the Hong Kong media aren't into Rayolie, the average Rayolite's dependence on deliciously obsessive dedicated fans like Raymond's (and sometimes Myolie's) to dish out moments like these is great. These clips are what the Chinese call 探班 clips. Simply put, they are fancams.
This slouching clip is from the set of The Master of Tai Chi.
For the most part you can't see Myolie in the clip, but when he stares out of the frame, well yes, who could it be but Myolie?
Translation: my0t1
The director was talking in the background to a crew including Myolie while Raymond was talking to the man in the clip. (I believe the crew was filming or rehearsing a scene.) Raymond was instantly distracted when he heard Myolie's subtle laughter. "Don't mind her/him, don't mind her/him", the director said (I dunno who he's referring to or who he's talking to) Raymond and the man continued their conversation quietly. The director, on the other hand, had called Myolie's character name twice. He was trying to get all characters positioned theirselves properly. "Like this?", called out Myolie. "Yes, now don't move", said the director. Somehow played the violin in the background for less than a second. After a short while, the crew stopped filming/rehearsing. Raymond slouched a little and said something to Myolie (who's still out of view) who in turn laughed. That's when the view was paned out wide and that's when both Myolie and Raymond slouching and stretching in sync. Raymond said something to the man, or perhaps to Myolie (but definitely he wasn't looking at her at the moment), or perhaps to the camera man while Myolie, for the whole time, was staring at Raymond's mitten. She finally couldn't resist herself from reaching out her hand to touch the mitten. (Perhaps Myo's too cold or perhaps she wanted Raymond's attention ... hehehe ... but I think it's the former ... she looked cold.)
Isn't it great how Myolie manages to ignite this huge grin on his face? And the fact that he instantly distracted by her is adorable. In fact, Myolie herself doesn't give him much of a chance to concentrate on other things, does she? ;)
UPDATE! Towards the end of the clip, you can also hear Raymond saying asking Myolie along to dinner.
We here at Rayolie Moments also suspect, that the slouching may have been Raymond copying, and sort of taking a dig at Myolie.
Celebrity matching accessories are all the rage these days. It's like saying, "We're together" without actually saying "We're together." Get my drift? ;D
Therefore imagine our delight when we spot Raymond and Myolie sporting the same belt.
Sizzling!
Hot!
Same belt in different colours. What a way to go! If that's not couple accessorizing, then we can say that they have similar taste can't we?
Of course, the possibility that they may have been dressed not by their own choice but by their wardrobe personnel is there. BUT! In that case, either somebody out there really likes Rayolie, or coincidence is working the way we want it to. :P
The day's June 13th 2007. It's the day Raymond showcases his most caring side to Myolie (and Myolie only), smack in the middle of the airport, surrounded by a rowdy group of fans and press.
We're so loving the fact that he just does not care. Nope, because his eyes are fixed on his Myolie's poor hand.
Just to give you an idea of how many people actually played witness to the scene:
See 01:44-03:02
As you can see, Raymond first starts moving luggage out of the blue. Then, opening one huge luggage, he starts to rummage frantically through it. All for one plaster. More specifically, all for Myolie.And then he decides to put it on for her himself because, why? Myolie couldn't do it herself? Because Myolie's assistant was too fazed by the camera lights to do it for her? We think, nah, it's just cos he wanted to.
Here at Rayolie Moments, we sincerely believe that little actions speak the loudest words.
Edit: Oh hey! triumph2004 made a .gif
UPDATE! Managed to find another fancam, and this time it's not shaky! It's mesmerizing. We also see that someone's assistant (I'm guessing Myolie's) was right there but Raymond still took the initiative to help her himself. And just look at how carefully he does it!
P.S. I think there's a news clip that captured this moment as well. Will put it up if/when it's found (or if it's not part of my over vivid imagination O.o Anyone care to confirm it's existence?)
Many of you must have seen this already. Utterly classic!
Also, the pictures are equally epic. Pic #2, they look like a married couple! A totally adorable one at that.
This interview is also alternatively titled: "How many praises can Myolie rain on Raymond in the span of one interview?"
Points to note: - Myolie is most comfortable around Raymond as compared to Ron and Kenneth. - Very comfortable as the pics show us. - Myolie obviously knows lots about him. - Myolie obviously admires him. - Again, the karaoke (goodness must they mention this all the time? Ha).
I always told myself not to use looks to judge others, because when I don't smile, I look very serious. Raymond Lam gives me a feeling of not hardworking and uses his "smartness" all the time, but my judgement was wrong! Raymond not only has the potential the act, he can also sing and dance, and he is a rich handsome guy, is it kind of unfair?
To speak the truth, I didn't do any preparations for this interview, because I was so busy earlier, and before I've already done this twice (interview Kenneth Ma and Ron Ng), so I'm more relax! Raymond is a easy-to-talk person, plus we have similar hobbies, and the information I get from him, is the most of the three!
Newcomer Must Work Hard
I remember my first impression of Raymond was when he was the king in "A Step Into the Past", slowly walking down, wow! His eyes do give you a feeling that he'll kill you! Not women killer, but actually full of hatrid. At that time, I was a newcomer too and I was thinking, "Wow, this guy is so ancient looking?!" TVB suddenly having such a handsome guy around, so I paid close attention to him! Eh? He doesn't look like a newcomer.
Raymond says, "At that time, I was working hard to move forward, and just acted! I remember on the first filming day of "A Step Into the Past", we had to film the ending. At that time, I was working with Kwok Fung for the first time, I really need to thank him for trusting me!" Thinking back, Raymond thinks he was young, so there's nothing to be afraid of. He gave up his eduation overseas, and joined the actors' training class. At that time, Tavia Yeung, etc was his classmate. Everyone had dreams, and hopes, however, in the end, he had to wait at home for a month, "I was really scared! I questioned myself if I had chosen the right path, luckily my family supported me, so I continued to practice my singing, read more!"
Learned From Hosting
Afterwards, his first job was being a host at TVB8, Raymond never thought of hosting actually, but he admited that hosting in TVB8 was a great experience and he learned a lot. The most important was, he learned how to be in front of the camera, and interviewed many different artists, like Lesile Cheung, Faye Wong, etc. Another good thing was he had a lot of jobs, because he was the only boy host that is fluent in Mandarin!
Being the Older Brother
I really admire Raymond's singing, not only that he's the best singer in the company, but he also can be compared with the newcomers in the music industry, so whenever we sing karaoke with him, I would pick some of the good songs for him. Raymond actually learned how to sing when he was 15/16 years old, along with dancing, drawing lessons, and when he was in elementary school, he was in many recital contests. I remember when we were filming "Eternal Happiness", he purposely asked professionals to teach him Kung Fu.
When Raymond was little, he loved to observe things around him, so he can learn quickly, "My father has his own ways of teaching me, because my father was also the eldest son, so he uses the same identity to teach me: when younger siblings get in trouble, the oldest brother must take it all! Because my father believes that's the true meaning of an older brother!" No wonder his siblings love him.
Epilogue
I really have to thank Raymond Lam, because he's the leader of our group of artists with simliar age. That year, he was the main lead in "Eternal Happiness" and received pretty high ratings and comments, and it helped those newcomers, such as Ron Ng and I to have more opportunities to act.
UPDATE! For completion's sake, this is the actual article that was printed:
Oh the woes of being a single shipper! It is near impossible for me to support Raymond and Myolie with anyone but each other.
See 02:46-02:50
But the November month of the 2007 TVB Calender could very well have ended up giving Rayolie fans to cheer about, because, as you can see, they were almost put together! Unfortunately the photographer decided otherwise. Why? Who knows? Perhaps because the colours of their clothing blended too well with each other? Or maybe Myolie just decided she'd flit around Raymond during breaktime.
P.S. FungYi fans, this'll give you something to squee about if you haven't already seen it. One fan's pain is another fan's happiness, and we at Rayolie Moments are glad to be of (intentional or unintentional) service. :)
To the powers that be *coughTVBcough*...we're still waiting for a Rayolie duet! Not only us, but Raymond and Myolie themselves too. Don't worry Rayolie, your hints have not been lost on us!
Evidence A: All About Men Special
See 02:51-3:41
Translation: my0t1
Hacken: I really anticipate to have an opportunity to cross over with the girls. This would be exciting. Bowie: Yeah ... we can have duets with them. Hacken: Exactly! Not only that, but also shooting music videos together. What do you guys think? Ron (talking to Raymond): What do you think? Raymond: I agree. I like the idea of singing duet. Actually, I find there are many female artists who have great talent in singing in our company. (Ron nodding agreeing with Raymond) Hacken (asking Raymond): So say if you have a chance to duet with a female artist. Who would you like to duet with? Raymond: well ... I heard Myolie sang before. I went to Karaoke with her. She's very good. Ron (asking Raymond): When did you go to Karaoke with her? Raymond (slightly taken aback): We went once or twice, you (looking at Ron) were also there. (At that moment, all the guys were laughing and Ray looked embarrassed and later joined them laughing.) Hacken: o i see I see ... (laughing ... hinting something's going on) Bowie: I agree. Actually I had an experience performing on stage with Myolie. She really can sing! Hacken: So I think TVB has already put her name in the list of potential singers. Bowie: Of course she can. She's already on the 'LIST'.
Evidence B: 2006.11.07 Radio Interview
See 20:00-22:03
Translation: siaoliao
There are two DJs, but both are referred to as DJ, because most of the time it's just one asking the question.
DJ: On MSN someone asked, are you good friends with people like Ron? Have you thought of singing a duet? Myolie: Actually I did a duet with him once already, but if there's a chance again in the future that's good too. DJ: Are there any artistes that you'd like to duet with? More unique ones. Myolie: Like to do a duet with? Within my company? DJ: Anything you like. Singers are ok too. Myolie: Mmm...I think I'll choose someone from my company. I think...Raymond. Because his singing is really very good. DJ: Like that show...(she couldn't form the full title) Myolie: The Last Breakthrough. DJ: He sang the themesong for that show yea? I remembered thinking that it was very good. Myolie: Yep. DJ: I think you and Raymond should be rather good friends. Myolie: We're filming together now. DJ: He's quite a goofy person right? Myolie: Very friendly, very fun. DJ: We invited him on the show before. (I can't really figure out who says what after that because they just erupt into laughter. Something regarding Raymond being on the show I think) DJ: The reason why we asked Myolie about singing is because people can see that not only is she good at acting, she's good at singing too. Since you're so good, why don't you become a singer? Myolie: Please don't say that...(so humble XD) DJ: (?) Myolie: It all depends on my company's arrangements. (AHEM TVB!) DJ: You have an interest to become a singer? Myolie: Yea I like it. DJ: Now everyone's wondering if you’ll have release a CD. Myolie: I want to...Actually I dream to have a concert. Even having a mini concert will make me happy.
-------------
And so we see that both Raymond and Myolie put each other's singing skills in high regard, and they've also been to quite a few karaoke sessions. Wonder if they sang love songs together. ;D In any case, it would make a lot of good business sense to release a duet single with two of the best singers in TVB am I right?
Raymond VS Myolie: #1 Brother and Sister among the Siu Sang and Siu Dans
Raymond and Myolie's place in TVB differ from the rest. They are behind the heavyweights, yet are the leaders of the new generation of actors, therefore occupying a unique position. This is very much like the Charmaine Sheh of the past, and both also share the same work ethic as Charmaine, which is to throw themselves exhaustively into their work. Worryingly, there have been reports of Raymond's health as not being too good. Speaking of Myolie, she's certainly someone to be admired. Once I showed a promotion picture of Myolie, Tavia and Michelle (during the Eternal Happiness days) to a male friend, who also liked TVB dramas a lot. I asked him what he thought of the three girls and he replied "Not comfortable", "Alright" and "Pretty" respectively. Unfortunately, his sentiments may echo that of the general audience. Despite this "ugly" image, Myolie has nonetheless gone from being second-runner up in Ms. HK to Most Improved Actress, and the road she has had to take has no doubt been tougher than that of her counterparts. After all, which girl wouldn’t like to be called pretty? This road must have been one of tears and hardship. As we see her break down in tears with the Most Improved Actress award in her hands, the award is testament to the tears and sweat she has put in. With the support offered to them, and their own hard work, Raymond and Myolie have no doubt emerged the #1 brother, and #1 sister, among the new generation Siu Sang's and Siu Dans.
-----------
I suspect this was written probably around 2002, or 2003. As observed, Raymond and Myolie are without question the cream of their crop, at least in terms of popularity. They are the ones who consistently make it to the top of various rankings. Definitely they are in the limelight a lot more often, and even when they are not filming they are kept incredibly busy. No one can doubt their dedication and hard work for sure. The best part is, they are achieving this at about the same time, making them a power couple in their own right.
If you want to be officially inducted into Rayolie fandom, this is the man you've got to know. Tommy Leung single-handedly gave life to the Rayolie fandom, and is (I sincerely believe), a Rayolie shipper at heart (meaning, he supports this pairing 100% ;D).
How, you ask, is he of importance? Well without him you wouldn't have had: 1. Oscar and Yan Yan (Golden Faith)
Aaw, don't cry sweethearts!
Yes, they didn't play a couple, but they were the sweetest siblings you could possibly find. Despite all that their family went through, and in no small part thanks to Oscar's own meddlings, the mutual, and simple love between Oscar and Yan Yan never diminished. In a way, they are both innocent. Pure-hearted Yan Yan always wanted the best for her brothers, Oscar included, and hey, she even had a bear that represented him! Oscar's protectiveness of his sister was also evident throughout, even after he was manipulated.
Golden Faith was a breakthrough series for Raymond and Myolie in many ways (Myolie in particular), and it's nice to know that one of the anchors of their characters was the love they had for each other.
P.S. It is close to impossible to find a better pic of the two of them in Golden Faith, if you can help, please do! 2. Lok Ben and Chung Ching Ling (Survivor's Law)
Pure fluff!
Better known as Ben Ben and Ling Ling to fans, these two were the characters that started the whole Rayolie fandom, together with the use of "-olie" in Myolie's pairings. Undoubtedly, they gave life to the show, and proved to be a well-balanced, and supportive couple. In many ways, Ben and Ling are complete opposites with each other, yet they managed to form a firm friendship from the start.
Ben is a rookie lawyer, as evident from his casual personality and style of dressing. Ah Ling, eternally dressed in strict office-wear, is comparatively more uptight and professional. Yet both of them share a strong sense of a justice, and a heart of gold. When they are together you can't help but notice how natural and comfortable they are with one another's presence. Yes, there's no expensive flowers, or costly restaurants, but that is precisely why they are never pressured to pretend to be someone else when they are together.
Ben of course, was the epitome of a "Mr. Nice Guy". Who could forget the heartbreak(s) that he had to face because of his unrequited love for Ling? Yet despite that he still valued her happiness above else. In the meantime his only solace is the support and strong friendship Ling offers him, especially during the one time he uncharacteristically (yet understandably) becomes defeated. Eventually, his patience, and self-sacrificial ways pay off, and the series ends with an incredibly adorable and sweet coupling that is Ben Ben and Ling Ling. 3. Zhan Bong and Bing Yee (The Drive of Life)
This moment should have been forever.
Decided to put up a happy pic, because those happy days, and playful moments were most certainly crushed by the end of TDOL. Therefore we have to find all ways and means to balance out the severe disappointment in the face of such turn of events. Despite that though, we can take heart that they both gave romance a chance.
Bing Yee's feelings for Zhan Bong was one that slowly evolved from exasperation, to admiration, and finally to love. Most people would compartmentalize Bing Yee as just an uptight secretary, but she was more than that. She had heart, and drive, and definitely a good dose of spunk as well. Her little bickering sessions with Zhan Bong were totally entertaining. Seeing that TDOL is actually the most recent series Raymond and Myolie filmed together, you get a sense that they gelled without even having to try.
Did Zhan Bong's appreciation for Bing Yee really turn to love? The show would like us to think not. But nevertheless, BongYee was definitely one of the more memorable couples on the show. 4. Hiu Sing and Ji Kwai (The Master of Tai Chi)
Everlasting
Hiu Sing and Ji Kwai, where do we even start? They are by far the most beautiful pair that Raymond and Myolie ever gave life too. The intensity of emotions, and the sparks between the two were amazing. SingKwai's relationship was certainly one full of twists and turns, but in their imperfection, they formed a pairing of strong and lasting love.
Headstrong Ji Kwai was looking for love in an entirely wrong place. For most of the show we saw her trying to fight for a love that never was to be hers in the first place. Ironically, while she was the one who said that gratitude did not equate to love, was it not her gratitude for Mo Ma that blinded her into thinking she had found the one for her? In trying to hurt others, she ultimately hurt herself the most.
Hiu Sing started the show a talented but immature rich man's son. Pity for Ji Kwai, eventually evolved into love, one so strong that he could not turn his back on it. Even after multiple rejections, Hiu Sing's heart was for Ji Kwai only. In this sense, Ji Kwai and him are very similar, since once they decide to give their heart, they do so entirely.
It was Ji Kwai's words of comfort and encouragement that kept Hiu Sing striving to fulfill his father's wishes. And despite the fact that she used him, ironically, she still had his best interests at heart. Ji Kwai's fire was a great push factor for a Hiu Sing who would otherwise not have as much foresight, or drive.
Hiu Sing on the other hand, was the one true constant in her life. No matter how she hurt him, and no matter how she strayed for him, he would be the first to protect and the last to judge. His steadfastness never wavered, but because it was so great it did cause him to doubt himself. Hiu Sing's hurts caused him to stray and hurt others, but by then Ji Kwai was there to show him the same patience and kindness he showed her.
Hiu Sing and Ji Kwai are like two children who slowly and painfully learnt to grow. But without sorrow, how would you know pure joy? Without trials, how would you know of true love? At the end of TMOTC, SingKwai truly proved that they were meant for each other.
So thank you Tommy Leung, for all these Rayolie series. Shall leave you guys with a picture from Eternal Happiness, the only Rayolie show not produced by Tommy Leung. And was incidentally the first show they ever starred together in.
Wong Poh Siu Wah & Lau Yin Yuk Beautiful Beginning
