Golden Faith (45 eps)



Starring: Gallen Lo, Jessica Hsuan, Deric Wan Siu Lun, Raymond Lam, Michelle Yip

Summary:
Golden Faith is one of TVB’s grand productions this year with a star-studded cast including seasoned favorites like Gallen Lo, Jessica Hsuan and Deric Wan, and fresh young talents like Raymond Lam and Michelle Yip.

Here’s the story in a nutshell. Ivan (or Ding Sin Boon, played by Gallen Lo)’s foster father is a successful businessman with a shaky past and complicated connections to the Triad. After his foster father’s death, Ivan vowed to accomplish his father’s last wish, cleaning up the family business and free it of any illegal ties. The methods he used along the way created many misunderstandings with his girlfriend Rachel (or Ching Tin Nam played by Jessica Hsuan), who’s a public defendant working for the district attorney’s office, and his long-lost brother Chung Sau Hong (played by Deric Wan), who’s a police detective.

Mean while, his uncle duped his other brother (foster brother) Oscar (or Ding Sin Hang, played by Raymond Lam) into believing that Ivan had faked his father’s will in order to control all the family’s wealth. Being misunderstood by both sides, Ivan continued to carry on the family burden, even when it meant that he had to sacrifice his own love and happiness…

I just started watching this series and must say, I'm beginning to like it :) the story plots focus on these: family values, friendship, romance, business and its 'intrik2'.

Haven't finished it yet. Barely on ep 10, so... can't really tell and give my rating :P

latest update (06/11/04):
Finally finished watching GF last night! Wahh kerennn! demen banget sama drama ini hehee...
I think this is the first HK drama that I like :P I like Gallen Lo's character (Ding ShanBen), i like his charisma, his smile, his tendency to help people, ... the way he loves people surrounds him, the way the character develops from episode to episode, really really makes me wonder, "ada gak yah cowo yg kayak gitu?" :P

He's too good to be true, I guess. But somewhat, ini cerita ngegambarin gimana satu orang tetep setia sama pendiriannya, even when others think badly of him. He is a person who respect kindness and know how to repay kindness with even more kindess (apa sih? heehehehe)
I suddenly wanted to burst into tears last night when it's time for Tian Lan to visit Shanben who has just been shot and still in a coma. She was in an airplane alone, and she cried. Jadi pengen nangis juga deh ngeliatnya heheheh.... so touchinggg...

Anyways,... Golden Faith is SO recommended! hehee... 9/10 dehh :P
