Triumph in the Skies II

I dislike flooding my blog with more than one entry per day but I can't stop myself from posting this entry! I'm so obsessed and addicted to TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2. So anyway, if you aren't a fan of my blog (loljk) or HK dramas then this entry isn't for you to read! Just making a disclaimer - you can still love my other entries ☺

It's been a real long time since I was last obsessed with a HK drama. I think the last was On Call 36 but that was so last year! And this year's dramas has been really disappointing thus far. It's already August and I didn't even watch more than 5 series. But anyway, I am seriously enjoying this series SO MUCH.

The characters are so awesome. Because it is a sequel, I am so glad they kept most of the casts and reintroduced new ones as well. Not to mention how good they are at acting, most of them kept their characters similar to the first season.

And even though Myolie came back as another character I'm glad they portrayed her as one of the main leads still. Her new character is a lot more different and she carried it off so well. In this sequel they also added in snippets of Myolie x Francis and she portrayed both Zoe and Summer really perfectly. The contrast between the 2 characters really impressed me a lot.

Many people have been criticising Fala Chen - her acting and why she replaced Myolie as the main female lead. I don't think there's anything wrong with Fala's acting because that's just how her character is supposed to be like. Her chemistry with Chilam Cheung and Francis Ng is amazing because those two are much more experienced than her. Even though I have to admit her crying scenes were pretty bad she actually did well for the rest of her character.

when he was finally letting go of the misery at the airport - just look at the expression. so heartaching.

Francis Ng's acting is the one that impresses me most. He brings out a lot of his characteristics and even the smallest details are taken care of. The way he misses his late wife and how he was unable to walk out of the misery during the start of the drama was good. The way he slowly walked out of it and started becoming a pilot again was good. The way he was serious about his work but can joke and laugh at home was good. Plus he looked crazily good in the pilot uniform, I'm about to go crazy soon.

Chilam Cheung is another crazily good looking guy. Too good looking for someone who's 42. He plays a playboy and a pilot who's crazily confident about himself. But at some points of the show you could see his weak points. How he actually cared for his sister and how he slowly fell for Fala Chen and stopped his flirting with all calefare girls.

And then we have the rest of the good looking pilots namely Kenneth Ma, Ron Ng and Him Law. And a lot of other new faces who are honestly not too bad looking as well. I love the little jokes they make among each other that really shows how strong their friendship is. Love the air stewardesses played by Nancy Wu and Elena Kong as well. I love how the show portrays the serious moments whenever they're working as well as the playful moments they have outside working hours.

And I am totally shipping the Francis x Fala pair as well as Nancy Wu x Him Law. I didn't expect myself to like Fala being with Francis so much because Francis was portrayed to be so in love with his late wife he may never ever open his heart to a second woman. But their interactions are really too cute to be true! I love Francis Ng's character so much he's like a stern looking man but with sweet little actions all the time /squeals/

I've never been a fan of Nancy Wu until recently. Her character in this show makes me love her like mad. Her pairing with Him Law is refreshing and totally good to watch! Couldn't find pictures of them to illustrate my point coz they have very few scenes. I can't wait for the two to be together, please quick!!

I never intended to do up such a loooong entry about this drama. That goes to show how crazy I am about this show. I hope someone is as addicted to it as me and can spazz like crazy with me! It's hard work having to wait ONE day for ONE episode. And it's gonna end soon, I think when it ends my world will end as well /CRIES/

I appreciate if you've made it thus far into the entry. Or maybe you just skipped through it to see what I have to say at the end (lol). Anyway, just go watch it if you really wanna see for yourself if it's really THAT nice. BEST DRAMA OF THE YEAR.

SQUEEEEAAAALSSSSSSS
