My favorite Steven's co-star is still Maggie Cheung in Better Halves. Absolute compatibility. But Stevia seems to have perfect their wordless mutual stares, poignant with unspoken meaning.

我就是喜欢聂致远喜欢他有过知错,喜欢他悔悟,喜欢他愁眉深锁的样子(他那种淡淡的忧愁,这种感觉只有马浚伟能表现得让他人感同深受,好多年没看到有他那 种散发着古典韵味的演员,这种感觉是某人至少是不能给我的),喜欢他遍体淋伤,喜欢他执着,喜欢真实,不管最后他和胜雪是否在一起都没关系,这不是我喜欢 他的原因,不管他完不完美都有让我折服的原因,中意聂致远.

I waited eagerly and quite impatiently for Ji Yuen's appearance but it wasn’t until toward the end that he finally made his appearance, literally stopping the show. lol! Now that I think back, my anticipation was exactly the effect that Director Lee had hoped to achieve – to build-up anticipation and to heighten the mystery of one Ji Yuen.

my posts from Asianfanatics SITS nip ji yuen's thread
The viewers first got to know of him through Sim Suet’s constant worrying and pining for him, emphasizing her deep love for him. Obviously, JY has also ingratiated himself with her whole family, so much so that SS's father ponders over their (SS & JY's) future together even as they are on the run. Obviously, Ji Yuen, although an outsider, is much loved by her family. So how can such a ‘lovable’ character betray these simple folks who loved him so?
The sense of Ji Yuen, like a thin mist, permeates the episode. He has not appear yet but already his reputation precedes him, as images were formed of him from the other characters. As happier time flashes through SS’s memory, viewers saw him as a fun-loving lover; in times of danger, as someone who apparently did not know martial arts; as a suitor worthy of a Big Brother’s precious daughter's hand in marriage. And as a good man, liked by SS’s people. As SS floats on the river, her last conscious thoughts were of him just as her first were when she regains consciousness. Who is this Ji Yuen character who was so beloved by so many people?
Director Lee cleverly teased his viewers with a glimpse of this mysterious Ji Yuen right before credits roll, just enough to belie the carefully built up image of a nice, warm young man – the stealer of SS’s heart and the affection of her family. Instead a man with cold flat eyes on an impassive face walks into the screen, literally stopping the show. Although looking like her JY, his emotionless face and stiff posture assure SS that she must have mistaken a stranger for her JY.
Reel me in for I’m completely hooked.
