The Hippocratic Crush II Review

Storyline:
Like: It was full of action, with one case/problem following another. And 1 case does not last 5-6 episodes, it usually lasted 2-3 so there was lots of action and the story was moving on quickly.

Dislike: Too many hospitalization with the main characters and their family. I mean.. almost everyone was sick/injured. Yu Jai, Yat Kin, Yat Kin's mom, Lokman, Yannis, David, Chin Yi's son, Che Che, Che Che's uncle, Yu Jai's grandmother, Siu Yik.. and I probably forgot a couple. I mean, they could have less illness within their family and friends and more of the other cases that do not involve the main characters.. those are interesting too!

Screentime:
Like: I know a lot of people did not enjoy the overall serie because there are too many side stories and not enough focus on the main characters Tavia and Kenneth, but I guess I was ok with it since I like seeing newbies acting. I especially enjoyed watching Him Law and Eliza Sam, they shared such a special chemistry together!

The Hippocratic Crush II newbie actresses

The Hippocratic Crush II features lots of newbie actresses, so I wanted to have a small talk about it. I will also do a full review on the serie, but here are some quick comments about their acting.

Mandy Wong as Mei Suet
I'm not quite sure if Mandy is still considered a newbie...but the first time I saw her was in THC last year, so she seems new to me. She is really good at acting, and I wished I could have seen more from her and Benjamin Yuen. I loved seeing how she could be tough and serious with the new housmen, but at the same time, all she wants is the best for them.All in all, Mandy did a great job here, like she always does!

Eliza Sam as Che Che
Must say Eliza really did a breakthrough in her role as Che Che here! At first, she just seems like a happy/bubbly person, but then you find out that her character is actually so touching. I loved all the scenes where she cried and smiled at the same time. I think she made lots of people like her here, and though I already liked her, I just love her even more after seeing her here. Her role was an "angel" role and she was so nice to everyone. It was so sad to see her get weaker and weaker  everyday and eventually pass away...

Tracy Chu as Chin Yi
I didn't really know about Tracy before watching this serie. I just started it, and I was like, ohh just another newbie... then I learned that it was her first serie. I think she did pretty good, for a first timer! The only thing here is that..she got a bit too much screentime for a supporting role...Was her role even a supporting one? She was paired up with Lawrence Ng who was one of the main leads, so that's probably what got her all the attention. I wished they would have talked a bit less about her and "Ah Fai".

Crystal Li as Ah Ting
So, Ah Ting is suppose to be a shy and unconfident girl, and I think Crystal just did an ok job here. Could have been better. It seemed like Ah Ting was just a plain character without personality who cannot get over her crush (Onion), but yeah... More personality could have been added to this character.

+ Guest star: Grace Wong as Amber
It's my first time seeing her acting. Her character was so annoying...but I guess that is because she portrayed it well. Looking forward to see more from her :)

The Hippocratic Crush II Episode 29 Finale Recap

Note: Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge of medical terms in this recap…I was not able to find the disease/illness names in English since they were mentioned in Chinese, so I’ll just be briefly describing them.

This last episode starts off with Onion (Him Law) standing and thinking in front of Che che (Eliza Sam)’s tomb. Her dad comes by and gives a picture album to Onion, telling him that Ch eche probably intended to give it to him. He looks at it; it is full of pictures of places where they have been to together. He cries while looking at it, but smiles through his tears. He walks to all those places and thinks about Che che. He sees Yat Kin(Kenneth Ma) and shares his thoughts with him. At night, he dreams about Cheche. He promises her that he will live his life fully, be a great doctor, find someone he will love, etc. Yat Hong(Nathan Ngai) appears and tells Cheche that it is time to go. Before she leaves, Onion tells her that he loves her.

The Hippocratic Crush 2 Episode 27 recap + Quick thoughts

It's the first time I'm writing a recap and putting screencaps of an episode that I actually made myself. Why am I doing this? I feel like episode 27 contains the most touching scenes, so I felt like taking a lot of screencaps. After the screencaps, I felt like writing a recap..so here it is! :) I will probably be making another one for the finale and write a review also. Hope you enjoy!

It’s Ah Ting’s birthday, and Ming Tai prepared her favorite breakfast for her. He also wants to throw her an amazing birthday party and puts all his brothers/friends (Onion, Ben, etc) into this and they agree to help. Cheche is also preparing for a party…but it is a party to say good bye to her close ones. She wants to keep it only to her dad and Chin Yi, but Yat Kin’s mom eventually finds out. 

Ah Ting’s party was going to fail because the rain and bad weather ruined the food and presents, so the guys find Cheche to seek some help. She tells them that the event at the center is cancelled, and she agrees to give them all the food and flowers, including the one that Chin Yi gave her and that represent her biggest hope.

On call 36 II themesong screencaps

So, I'm kind of obsessed with The Hippocratic Crush II lately. I'm watching the series right now, but skipped through a couple of episodes since I'm too busy with school and all. BUT, when I'll be on my break, I plan on making a review about it, and when I do so, I want to try to make screencaps :) I'm testing ways to do it, and I tried with only the themesong. Here they are!! (It took me quite a while though...:/)

TVB Perspective is BACK!

Hello everyone!
I know I haven't posted in a lonnggg time (nearly 5 months..) but I'm back now! :) As you (hopefully) noticed, I changed the banner to a banner featuring my new current favorite drama, The Hippocratic Crush 2 aka On Call 36 Hours II! I'll be doing a review on it fairly soon. Some other posts I'm thinking about doing is my hopes/predictions on TVB awards, some news talk and more artists features. I still have about a week left of exams (actually, 2 days, but I have to study xD), so I will be posting as soon as I am done with school. Come back in a week and I promise there will be new posts! :)

^ I made this banner using pixlr (alternative of photoshop). It's probably not the best banner you've seen, but I'm so proud of it because it's the first time I made banner with backgrounds and different pictures on top. (I used 11 different pics to make it!) I'll be working on my photoshop skills over my x'mas vaca, so you'll see more of my progress soon!
