Gallen - My Favorate TVB star

My favorate plays + my hero Gallen Lo + a play to encouraged me on my way - "Advance, not recede"

There are several reasons not to watch "At the Threshold of an Era": you'll go broke renting it because it is a 100 episodes, your eyes would get very tired after watching it, most of it you can (and should) fast-forward, the plot is quite ludicrous and the characters are rather poorly written up. One would think that with such a huge cast that has some of TVB's most popular stars, including Gallen Lo Ka Leung, the series would be somewhat decent but a poor script dashes all such hopes.

The series is supposed to be situated in the architectural/building scenario, with stock games added along into it. The beginning of "Threshold" is carelessly thrown together as the viewer is introduced into the lives of three childhood friends--played by Gallen Lo, Sunny Chan, and Roger Kwok respectively, who have quite some different personalities. The series desperately tries to convey to the viewer that the friendship between these three is quite deep but only manages to portray a shallow relationship. Especially at the beginning episodes, the actors just do not seem to fit into their roles and are still trying to grasp the character. Taking for granted that it's the entertainment business, "Threshold" must think that the audience will take anything that they're willing to dish out. Too many convenient plot events are used--for instance, Kenix Kwok's role meets up with the roles of Gallen and Roger and suddenly, her whole social hemisphere revolves around, and only around, these people--TVB always makes it seem as if the characters have no other friends or a life for that matter. After the death of her mother, Kenix appears to be a strong woman who can take care of herself but into the series, it becomes apparent that her character is a weak, emotional, and naive female.

One also gets the sense that "Threshold" is trying to be "big" all the time because it's such a "big" series--throw in some murders, car explosions, and big corporate battles. Why is it always about two families who have some past generation vengeance?To sum it up, "Threshold" would be worth a watch if you wanted to see some of your favorite stars just up on any screen.

It's not just an advertising - trust me, it would not be a flop to you!
