ALL THAT IS BITTER IS SWEET - 大藥坊 - 30 EPISODES

Cast: Linda Chung, Ruco Chan, Raymond Wong, Natalie Tong, Pierre Ngo, Shirley Yeung, To Yin Gor

A story revolving around a pharmacy. Linda plays a rich girl, whose family runs a large pharmaceutical business. But the pharmacy later gets hit by a huge epidemic. Linda is the first female pharmacist in China, she helps resolve the issue in a strong manner; Linda-Ruco-Raymond-Natalie will be involved in a love square.

Thoughts

The story is interesting since it will be revolving around a female hero protagonist instead of a man (which I often think is the situation).  

Btw the trailer is basically the same as the one released out last year with just a few minor tweaks towards the middle and end.  It's a bit disappointing since I was hoping to see more new clips.

Following the hit of the last series 'Tiger Cubs', the new one has valiant policemen and undercover policewomen that are fully equipped for another lethal mission; A total of 10 stories, each 2 episodes long. The sequel incorporates more dramatic elements that would make audience want to keep watching, such as the resentment among the SDU brothers. There are more large-scale scenes in this sequel compared to the last. The characters from part 1 will continue in the sequel with addition of new characters. Joe continues as "Jin Sir", he has become even more matured since part 1; Linda plays a cold CIB madam, who is an undercover in the triad. The triad eventually discovered her true identity and traumatized her, which turned her into a ruthless and violent madam.

Thoughts
I liked the first installement, so hopefully this will be able to follow its predecessor's footsteps.
Hmm...Jade Leung is really making a comeback to tvb? She's also in Vinegar Lady. Read More →

[News/Pics/Clip] Linda Chung praises Ruco Chan as a good swimmer

(video credit: kaka bu@youtube)

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) were preparing a water scene in Sai Kung Town and had to perform a CPR scene which was very romantic. As the temperature was 11 degrees celsius, they ate some chocolates to keep themselves warm before going down to the water. Linda jokingly said that she was very full and worried her stomach might feel bloated. She even bought herself a diver's suit specially for this scene.

When speaking about the water scene , Linda jokingly mentioned that compared to the earlier series, Tiger Cubs II (飛虎II) which she acted, it was less frightening this time. She then said "This is the first time I perform CPR in the water." Also, Linda praised Ruco for having good swimming skills and said "He swims very well like a crocodile." (Did you tell your rumoured boyfriend that you will be filming a CPR scene?) Nope, I am a big girl now and have been in this industry for 10 years."

As for Ruco, he bought a few thousands dollars of diver suit as well and said "I have to jump into water well, lake, sea and swimming pool this time and four water scenes. This is my first time to shoot a scene in the swimming pool and I am looking forward to it. (Feel very happy performing CPR with Linda?) No. I love the sceneries as it is beautiful. (Afraid of Linda's rumoured boyfriend's jealousy?) Why should I be afraid? It does not bother me as we are artiste and this is not the first time acting together. (Any rapport?) Of course and I have nothing to hide."

When asked about the mystery theft incident of Linda losing around $3,000 cash and if he consoled her, Ruco smilingly said "It is better not to bring it up in front of her and remind her of the sorrow."
