In the last Mulu trip, I happened to talk to a friend, during a 45minutes walking journey - we both agreed something about HK drama:
1) HK drama is quite boring. The theme of the drama, on majority, won't run away from these formulae:
i) Office politic with conspiracy
ii) Family business with conspiracy, enhanced with bitchy family members
iii) Police/Fireman/Doctor/Lawyer with complicated love relationship
iv) Complicated love story happened in selected era, where they had difficulties in communicating with each other (such as, during China Revolution)
v) Martial art heroes fighting during ancient time
2) The main actor in the drama always seems to be the perfect type (select at least 3 of the points mentioned below)
i) caring
ii) family type of guy
iii) funny+sunny
iv) successful career
v) will be hated in certain part of the drama, but acted strong when the whole world is against him
3) It's the bitchy + the-urge-to-see-how-the-bad-ones-end-up-with that's able to drag the drama to 30 - 40 episodes long
You often hear how blood boiling is the certain character in the drama - but yet, this seems to be what people enjoy to watch after a whole day of stress+tiredness at work.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What's more, is the social impact that it brings to the society:
1) Cantonese as the preferred/premium language, especially in Klang Valley
You'll be teased if you can't speak good Cantonese.
2) The boyfriend standard set by the girls seemed to be rather dreamy/high/perfect - just like how those featured in the HK drama
Sometimes, you feel like asking the girls to look at the mirror, too.
3) Office politics / Family affair seems to be inevitable - they have a good reference to follow.
Yet they say it's happening in real life, hence it is in the drama - they didn't realise that, subconsciously, they agreed to the things that may be avoided, and God knows, they might be practicing it.
Conclusion: We find that watching HK drama is kinda waste of time, most of the time ;)

I'm currently watching this one.
With a lot of parody + reference to James Bond - my favorite movie series - and plus the Japanese way of making the silly joke, it's nice.
I chose to skip this one since Tuesday.
Initially it's quite funny and personally, I thought it's a good stress buster.
However, the story seems like going nowhere after the war had started in the series.
Skipped. And looking forward to 古靈精探B
Verdict: Interesting at certain points, but isn't as good as Boss
Despite the drama superstar Kimura Takuya as the leading actor, the show was overall a funny show mixed with some (potential) social issue.
Clearly, Kimura lacks the charisma he had last time, in the show such as "Long Vacation"
It's fun to watch but sometimes it's quite draggy.
Rating: 6.5/10
Verdict: Witty and interesting to watch.
This drama talks about a police department that investigate the strange murdered cases.
With members equipped with different (strange) talents, the boss was able to lead the team which could perform.
Suspense were given at right time to keep the show interesting to watch..
The ending was a bomb, quite illogical but it's a funny and informative show to watch :-)
Rating: 8/10
