7 Days - episode by episode review 1-4

episode 4:
lol! Right now watching epi 4 but gotta pause the video to post this because its black humor just cracked me up:

When Steven unexpectedly bursts into a sad, love (Thai) song, I instantly burst out laughing. haha! And add that to his put-on woebegone facial expression to purposely elicit sympathy from Long legged crab Koni. And when he stops singing, a female singer picks up the song. Haha.........

I'm loving the black humor in the series.

And Koni describing the Thai tycoon, Calvin, as long-legged crab. ...Judy: such a sad story, I thought would only happen in a movie...lol!..So a word of the wise to all those beautiful women who wish to hook a golden tortoise that you are not been played by a good looking golden carp instead. Unpause video..continue to watch video ..gotta see how con man, Calvin, charms his female target with his lame, sad story that only a gullible female will fall for, or pretend to fall for his pickup line because she thought she got lucky to be singled out by a rich and handsome tycoon.

Dialogs:
...only I know of this secret?
....it's a secret just between you and me
......I'll keep this secret confidential
lol!

later:
.....This show makes me want to puke! So swear a man who himself is an expert of melodramas
...I miss my late gf so much, I want to hold a memorial here on the roof patio, everybody's welcome, Would you set it up for me? lol!
.....Ho Yan, (blowing kiss) thank you! (puke! haha!)
.... and that coy interplay between between clueless, played Judy (Ho Yan) and 'sad' player, Calvin, is so 'nauseatingly' spoof-ish black humor stuff. lol! Definitely enjoyed Steven & Koni's scenes. Koni was good with her girlish high sympathetic voice and fluttering, long, mascara fake eyelashes, and Steven with his put on sad puppy look....like I said...totally nauseating ...but I loved it.

I also absolutely enjoyed S&S's chemistry. Sonija was so good as the jealous lover, and Steven the flirtatious lover.

And I enjoyed Bosco and Joyce's chemistry too. Joyce resembles her mother, Fei Fei, so much. I can so see Fei Fei in her facial expression.

So gotta wait for episode 5, bummer!

 Episode 3
 While Calvin pretends to lock up his precious items inside the hotel vault, he has on a pair of specially made glasses with hidden video camera.  At one point, Christy complaints that the video images are too shaky, stop moving so much.  Later at the breakfast buffet table, Calvin quips that the shaky video is because he is just imitating Ho (Wong) Kai-Wai's technique. haha!
See screen caps: steven ma baidu


episode 2:
Still fast paced, and exciting and funny to watch. The funniest part was when Joyce bumps in Bosco again and tells him of her suspicion towards Yuen Wah because of his fast reaction. And when Bosco asks what reaction, Joyce slaps him unexpectedly and says, "See, even you couldn't avoid my slap but that gray beard could!" Haha! Very funny!


I find the episode went so fast and so delightful to watch that I actually re-watched it twice.

**************************************
The 1st episode.
Good news, according to Candy Ng, a TVB production staff member, the 1st episode of 7 Days garnered 32 points in rating. Yay!


The whole cast did really well in the opening episode. Each was given a chance to shine in their role. The 1st episode was delightful to watch. It was funny without the overboard slapstick humor although the bumbling reporter act of Joyce was a bit hackneyed but still nicely done. And Patrick was really funny without acting funny, so kudos to him. As was Mimi Lo with her selection of nighties. haha! And leisurely singing in the bubbles filled bathtub while horny Yu Yeung was like having ants in his pants. And Bosco's scene with Mak Bao was funny too. But of course, the highlight for me was of course the Steven's scenes with Sonija. They made a handsome couple. And it was a treat for me to see Steven acting the flippant lover to Sonija. And that scene when they were chatting, oh so casually, about Jo On's online dalliances with 4 other women, wait, 5 women from different countries was fun to watch too. All in all, a delightful and lighthearted opening episode to watch.

Fast paced, and lighthearted, and very interesting. Bosco looks cool, and Steven amazingly handsome.
