Life-Changing Truth (2021)

Another unwatchable drama starring Shaun Tam

Shaun never fails to disappoint me with his poor portrayal of characters and poor choice of projects. Or maybe he's just exceptionally good at picking characters that are 2 dimensional and extremely dull. At this point, I don't know if he is genuinely trying to annoy me or if he is just a terrible actor. It's most likely the latter.

I'm pretty sure every TV series I've seen him in on TVB is unwatchable. It's like he is competing with "Chin Pang" to be the most unwatchable actor on TVB. They're tied this year at being unwatchable in my books because their dramas should have been rejected before production. Period.

As for "Take Two", it feels like a complete rip off of "Over Run Over" starring Vincent Wong, Tracy Chu and Ben Yuen. Time travel is such a severely overused plot device on TV. Add on top of that the bad CGI of a collapsing building, and the constant flashbacks of the 2 female leads suffering life-ending injuries, and you have a recipe for disaster.

The funniest thing about all of this is Shaun actually won Best Actor of 2021 for his performance in this dreadful piece of work! Can't say I was surprised he won because the TV execs invited his famous celeb father Ti Lung to the awards ceremony. Talk about something being rigged!
