TVB : Stew of Life (Series Review)
Posted Tuesday, October 20, 2009 // 5:21 PM
 Well I just finished watching Stew of Life online. (Gosh Finally.) But it turned out pretty well. I really loved the drama becauze of Louise Lee in it and Fala Chan. It was the 3rd time seeing Lee Sze Ki and Fala act as a Mother-Daughter Relationship from both Heart of Greed series. (They did a pretty good job at it too!) *ahem* anyways, This time for this series, it is their 3rd time collaborating together in a comedy family series : 'Stew Of Life.' portraying a Mother-Daughter. WARNING : MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! :D Review : This series talks about how a mother and daughter point of views of living and takeing care of the family. As we all know in real life, A women has to be the cook, the clean, the whole household chores person to clean up after their husband. Bu  t in these eyes for both Fala & Louise they both have a different perspective of things and compares each Daughter and Mother reviews on how to become a 'Nutrional House wife.' aka 'House Wife'.Characters : The Women:    Louise Lee as Ng Lo Tai aka 'Super Mom': She is the wife of King Sir, Mother of Fala Chan, & older sister of Christine Ng. She is also 'Super Mom' to her family where she takes care of everyone in the family by cooking, cleaning and doing house chores. Anyways, Her perspective of a wife, is to do what is right in the family and she tries so hard to keep everyone happy. Until one time, she finally gets a job at a cooking studio and teaches other housewifes how to cook. (for this King Sir-Husband) once disagreed and didnt let her take the job offer. But at the end she did (which she really liked as a career). Fala Chan as Charlie : Her character more like a person who likes to work more and forget things rather then her mom (Louise Lee). In the series, she plays Louises' daughter. Her parents treats her nice. she has two great boyfriends which really liked her (one was Johnson-Bill Gate) that did so much for her by doing this or that, but then ended up not being together becauze of what he did for Fala. (more like appreciation then actually knowing what she wants) The other one would be Timmy Hung -Ryan. (he the one that mostly ended up with her while bickering between the series which was fun to watch but got quite annoying. But then ended up together anyways (more on and off relationship there). Christine Ng as Auntie Mei : Her character ish more like the girl who thinks for herself, finding the right guy who ish rich, famous,sweet, & lovable. (more like her ex-husband who ish rich, famous, & well has alot of bling bling.) But yeah. Anyways, Her character I find her quite annoying becauze of the way she kept complaining about stuff. and that she always, wants things by getting the best benefits out for herself. Though I really Loved her ringtone of 'Can Can' It soo cool (too bad I searched everywhere for the ringtone and cant really find it. :[ ahh o well.) anyways, She ended up with Evergreen Mak (Muk Bao) (Gosh I finally know who this 'EverGreen Mak' guy ish. Never knew it be 'Muk Bao' LOL) but yeah. Though in the series I would tell Her and Evergreen do make a good couple. But yeah. The Men:    King Sir as Ng Sir: His character more funny in beginning and all the way through got me annnoyed but ended up being quite sweet at the end. Well in the begining he kept fighting and being Jealous of the dog 'Jack' cauze Louise kept paying attention to the Dog more then him (which I laughed alot so hard) but yeah. Anyways, His character I found it more of the old fashion type, no matter what he says goes.-Just so hes the head honcho of the family doesnt mean he has to be the one who makes all the decisions right?..but yeah. Though as the story developed he realized how hard it was for Louise to comfort him and make sure he okay. Up until the part where Louise had to go into surgery for her hip, I felt bad and started to cry a bit. But yeah. He did a nice performance as the Head of the family in the series 'My Family' ft Ha Yu, Hawick Lau, Alex Fong, & Shirley Yeung. (Gosh i love that series!) but yeah. Ever Green Mak (Muk Bao) as Yao Gai aka 'Oil Chicken' : His character I just fell in love with. Your everyday man trying to keep your dreams come true no matter how hard it is. (like living in Cinderella story as him as your Prince Charming. :sighs:) anyways...He played as Christine Boyfriend. I really felt pity for him ish becauze of the way Christine treated him more like a 'puppet' by making him do stuff for her and all sudden bring up the story of when she had a brain cancer and then started to make him heartbroken. (Gosh I feel so sad ) but yeah. At the end, He came back for her and ended up together. (aww...) Timmy Hung as Ryan: His character he cared more for his job rather then his girlfriends. In the beginning I quite didnt like his character because he kept neglecting Fala alot when they were in a relationship and didnt really keep his word to her father about taking care of her but then I started to feel bad for him becauze of what Fala did to bring up a story of her having a baby which brought excitement to him. But his camera I soo really liked. He knows photography and was looking quite good too. Though I didnt really like his pairing with Fala. I liked it more in Angels 3D with Shirley Yeung-Now that I might rewatch but yeah. Anyways, Timmy does become a husband to Fala and they live happily ever after. Comments on Series: What this whole series, I found that not only love and relationships are important but also family no matter what the situation ish, it better not to argue and screw up the relationship but rather to talk it out and 'Communicate' with each other becauze if not, there just will be more neglection of one another rather then being happy.? (dont know what I just said but ill go with it.) Anyways, Not only did I learn about Communication but also being a wife ish hard as well. Even though, you have a job outside of the family it better and more relaxing by being a housewife yet it not easy to become a housewife too. It maybe stressful but as long as it keeps a family happy and healthy, it worth the work. :D. Side Note : I really enjoyed watching this series it taught me so much of being a housewife and regulations and rules of being one as well. Even though, I am not a house wife yet, it still a good experience seeing through the eyes of others who are housewifes and knowing that becoming a housewife isnt all that easy yet it can be tireding as well :B Rating : 9/10 Labels: tvb stew of Life. |
