Byn's thoughts
It's been a long time since I've watched an ancient series with such a heavy tone of sadness and anger in all of the characters. The moment you lay eyes on the poster, you know the show is not going to be a happy one. The previews of this series also show a bird cage at the end. I think it meant that all of the members of the family were trapped like birds and couldn't fly out of it to claim their own happiness.
The veteran actors and actresses would be the ones leading in this series meaning I would be expecting excellent acting and portrayal of their roles. It'll be quite interesting to see a series without any Raymond, Ron, Bosco, Kevin, Sammul etc ppl for once.
Overall, I would be catching this series and hopefully I'll get hooked on it.. =)

Reviews:
Firstly, I was not all that hyped over this series in the beginning due to the fact that I have not heard of it until a few days before it aired. Haha. So I thought, "Yeah, why not? Let's just give it a try. It's just another series to while away my time". Oh boy! I was so wrong. This series not only got me so hooked on it, it even make me open up this blog to share my thoughts on it. If you'd noticed, it's the first series which I have done proper screencaps and write ups on. The title was really appropriate for it as the show really brings out what life is about: Happiness, Sadness, Love, Career, Money etc.
Steven Ma:
I'm a total fan of Steven so I was quite glad that he was chosen to be in it. It also seems that he had been working out and going for tanning sessions for this role. His character is a total Mr. Nice Guy; he plays a great brother, a loving husband and father and basically just a great guy belonging to the group of extinct men just like Linda said in this series. This role really matches Steven as he is a great character actor and has the type of look I would expect from Shing Yat On's character. He couldn't have been replaced by anyone else. Great job!
Linda Chung:
Haven't seen her for a very long time so I was quite interested in seeing her on screen again. She plays a gangster girl turned good girl after a series of hardships she had to go through. Linda has improved tremendously in this series and everybody would agree that this is one of her breakthrough performances. She had loads of crying scenes in this series that was carried out so naturally that the audience really felt for her. In other words, even if you're not a fan of Linda Chung, you'll become one after this series.
Kent Cheng:
Ah! The veteren specially called back for this series. As usual, I haven't seen Kent in a long while. The producers did a correct decision of bringing him back for this series. I just can't see how another actor could fit the role of "Fat Boss". Kent brings it across naturally with his pet phrases like, "Bad Boy", "Low IQ", "Looking from the point of a philosopher" etc. Having Kent in this series just makes it more fun to watch.
Fala Chen:
Hmm. I'm not really a Fala fan to begin with. Haven't watch many of her shows yet. This is not the first time that Fala is acting as a materialistic and beautiful type of girl (Steps) so I wasn't expecting much from her character. Fala is seen in too many of these roles so her performance just bored me in this series. However, she did a good job towards the ending when she aborted her baby and died from overdosing on sleeping pills and alcohol.
Raymond Cho:
Another actor who I don't see very often and he looks like he's playing the same roles all the time. Not much comment on his character cos I wasn't really paying attention. Sorry.
Couples:
Steven & Linda:
It's been 3 years since their last pairing in Virtues of Harmony II. I totally loved them in there. They were so natural and cute so I was quite excited to hear that they were going to be together again. Their relationship starts of really hard and tough from rejection by their family members to conceiving difficulties to a tragic miscarriage. Nonetheless, the performance by this two actors were stunning. They looked completely comfortable and natural together. Definitely one of my favourite pairings ever.
Fala & Raymond:
Er.. Totally not interested in their story. They were cheating on each other with their own motives (one wanted to marry a rich guy and one wanted to make the most money possible). Didn't get their relationship at all. Hope I won't see their pairing ever again. Period.
Overall Ratings:
4.5/5
It's most definitely a must watch for everybody of all ages. The storyline flowed really well and it showcased the ups and downs of life and thus the title of this series. This is also one of the few series that does not have a rushed ending and instead everything ended well. The producers did a super duper job on filming the emotional scenes especially in Episode 19. A round of applause for them! The cast did a commendable job as well save for a few. All in all, please watch this series. =)

A Journey Called Life Episode 20 (Finale)
The final episode of A Journey Called Life. It was quite a good ending, didn't felt it was too rush even though there was a random kidnapping scene added in too.
Steven saves Fala from the water and prepares to bring her to the hospital but she stops him and instead tells him to look after their mother and that she was sorry for everythig she has done.
After saying those words, Fala dies in front of Steven's eyes. A really emotional scene as you could see that Steven had already forgiven Fala and wanted her to live so badly. Ok. I seriously did not expect Fala to die. I knew she was going to commit suicide but didn't expect that they woud kill of her character. But if I were her, I wonder how I could ever live with such regret and remorse.
Steven feels very troubled after the series of deaths and goes to find Kent for some talk. They spot Raymond suspiciously entering the building. He had actually kidnapped Cheng Tse Shing as an act of revenge for Fala. Kent and Steven arrives just in time to stop him.
Steven tries to stop Raymond and Tse Shing uses this chance to escape. He falls of a cliff after that. Kent calls the police and begs Raymond to stop.
The latter was so angry at Kent for calling the police that he breaks Steven's leg and hits Kent with a brick on his forehead. !!!!!! Kent starts to bleed and Raymond realises how wrong he had been all the time.
Steven and Linda sign up for a marathon together but he has no motivation to run and on top of that, his stamina has weakened as well. He quits halfway telling Linda he doesn't wanna run anymore.
Linda tries to encourage him to run with her.
"Ok. I will finish this race with or without you however, I really wish you would finish it with me. It was you who taught me that I should never give up in life. So, I'm gonna continue running and I believe that you would catch up with me. I'll wait for you at the end."
Steven sits by the road and suddenly, he hears a voice asking him why was he sitting there. It turns out that it was his daughter who was talking to him! She gives him a bottle of water and tells him to continue after drinking it. He tells her "Daddy misses you!" and she disappears after that. I was half expecting Fala to appear as well. Steven really missed his daughter so much.
Steven finally catches up with Linda at the ending but she trips and falls suddenly. He runs back to her and they eventually finish the race together! Such a sweet and happy ending!
The family congratulates them and Mary thanks Linda for helping Steven to get back on his feet again. Kent tries to act cool but gives a thumbs up sign in the end. =)
Steven tells Linda that he would buck up in future and live life to the fullest. He knew that their daughter would be very happy to see that they have finished the race together.
Kent visits Raymond in jail and the latter says he has reflected on his life and promises to be a good guy after leaving that dreaded place.
Kent and Angela moves back to their old hime that Steven has bought for them and Linda arrives with good news. She was pregnant again! Yay for her! I'm sure Steven would be doubly protective of her after this.
The series ends of with Kent saying that "As long as you do not give up, nothing is impossible."
I would be doing up a final review of this series soon so keep a look out for it ya? =)
Fala heads out to the beach after swallowing some sleepings pills with alcohol. She starts feeling chest pains and calls Steven for help. I felt sorry for her at this moment esp with that line, "I'm cold. I wann go home".

A Journey Called Life Episode 19
The saddest episode of A Journey Called Life ever. It caused me to cry buckets. Linda Chung really does a good job with her crying scenes. It made me feel for her. The saddest thing was that 2 babies were killed in this episode. Not going to post my views on abortions cos this is not a political blog. =)
___________________________________________________
Stephen & Helena went home to visit his mother and offered her the tea like in the traditional wedding ceremony. The whole family finally makes up.
___________________________________________________
Fala meets Raymond and tells him that the baby is his. He promises to be responsible but she is adamant on aborting it. Raymond calls Steven for help but they cannot get through to her phone.
By the time they had found her, she had already aborted the baby. Raymond & Steven both get mad at her but she does not realise her mistake and instead say that she is doing it all for her own good. Steven leaves angrily and tells her she is no longer his younger sister.
Fala returns home and is beaten up by Cheng Tse Shing for aborting the baby and for cheating on him. She leaves in fear and drives the car out. She calls Steven and the home phone but no one would take her call as they were still angry at her for aborting the child. She drowns her sorrow in alcohol.
Steven meets her by chance on the streets and she apologises profusely for her mistakes. He doesn't forgive her and she drives the car away even though she was drunk. Tragedy is about to strike as Linda and the family approaches the road where a very drunk Fala is drink driving.
A pedestrian crosses the street and Fala swerves to avoid him and ends up hitting Linda instead!
Steven and the family is waiting outside for the doctor and Fala started to be concern over Linda. Steven doesn't want her concern and the doctor comes out to inform them that Linda is ok. Suddenly, a nurse comes out to inform that something is wrong with Linda and they sent her to the operating theatre immediately.
Linda starts to worry when she realises the baby hasn't kicked her since the accident. Steven consoles her saying that their baby is asleep. The doctor then informs them that the baby's heart has stopped beating and has died. !!!!!!!! Oh no! Linda gets really agitated but the doctor insists that the baby has to be removed immediatey or she would die too.
Linda gives birth to her baby naturally and Steven asks the doctor to let them see the baby one last time. My heart crashed the moment I heard that the baby was dead. I didn't really expect it. Imagine the pain Linda must be feeling after so much difficulty just to have a baby only to realise it was dead. Worse still was that she still had to give birth to it and see that it wasn't crying. =(
Steven tells the family is dead and gets really agitated upon seeing Fala. He tells Fala why must she kill his baby after she had killed hers. It was such a depressing scene. I didn't know whether to feel sorry for Steven for losing his baby or for Fala for having to bear such a deep regret in future.
Steven spends some time with some of the baby's items with his mother. It was such a soft sentimental scene that I felt so depressed after watching it. It was really such a pity that the baby couldn't come home with them.
Steven blames himself for causing his sister to become a failure and for not protecting his nephew/neice and his daugther. Kent tries to console him but Steven was in no mood to listen to him and even starts to holler at Kent. I thought that Steven really needed somewhere to scream and shout his frustrations out. He really looked like he was about to burst anytime.
The family goes to cremate the baby while Fala peaks at them secretly from behind. Now I finally know who this scene was for. From the 1st episode, I just kept guessing who was the one who died but now I finally knew the answer. =(
Prepare lots of tissues for this episode. It made me so depress I kept thinking about it.. =(

Catch Me Now Episode 5
We see more of Damian's past in this episode and litte scenes here and there. Just another episode.
___________________________________________________
We see that Joe's parents were killed in a factory fire caused by Evergreen's father in the past. He overhears the conversation and vows revenge.
Just a random thought. I felt that the actor that played the younger Damian in this series looked a lot like Raymond Lam. Do you guys feel the same? Hehe.
___________________________________________________
Anyway, to continue, the younger Damian captures Evergreen and his father and tells him to do more good instead of evil if not he would come back after him again. From then onwards, Damian vows to be a person who would help poor victims.
___________________________________________________
Fala finds out that Joe has been demoted by his boss and is angry that he did not tell her about it. Hmm. I'm not all that interested in their relationship actually. Nothing really exciting or funny. Just plain sweet love.
___________________________________________________
Johnson invites Sharon to an exhibition but she is no mood to go after hearing that Joe had been demoted. Their scenes are what I look forward to next after the police & thief scenes. I think Sharon looks quite old in this series. Probably her heavy eye liner and mascara.
______________________________________________________
Joe and his team have a buffet to bid him farewell after his demotion. They corner Damian and starts to make things difficult for him. Kinda pity Damian though. Dickson arrives and tells the team that he has managed to make Joe returned to the team. Yay for them but boo for Damian. His plan eventually flops.

Catch Me Now Episode 4
Another very exciting episode of Catch Me Now.. Damian and his team sets a plan to trap Joe & the police.. Very smart plan I must say.. 
Sharon is mad at Johnson for not replacing her Mimi toy in time and sends him another email explaining that she would ruin his reputation in the forum. Johnson sets off to look for Sharon to ask her to give him another chance.
Johnson then fakes that he had cancer due to over exertion from finding her toy. At first, Sharon believes him and is apologetic for causing him to be like this. However, she soons see through his disguise and pulls it off him.
Shaorn is trying to break through a firewall virus and has problems doing it. Johnson steps into to help and they finally make it up. She treats him to a fine dining meal along a fountain. I wonder why she took that trouble to buy plates and glasses and ingredients. Wouldn't going to a restaurant be faster? Haha. But it was kinda cute to see them finally become friends.
___________________________________________________
Koni boards Eric's taxi and they pretend not to know each other. He mentions a magazine name and a handphone number for her to call if she ever needed a taxi. The police finds their conversation suspicious and tries to decipher it. The phone number was "93941920". 93 referred to the page number on the magazine which is the location (Bowling Alley) of the plan later on. 94 referred to the date while 1920 referred to the time.
At first I was wondering how Koni & Eric could be so careless as to let the police know about their plan but the answer was at the back. Anyway, I didn't know Joe Ma was left handed. Haha.. I'm left handed too.. Wonder which other artistes are also left handed.
___________________________________________________
The plan starts! It's gonna get very confusing. Read on to understand. Damian pretends to teach Idy to make a souffle but he was on the phone the whole time. The wonders of handsfree & bluetooth. Johnson is at the bowling alley waiting for Al Wai to come. The latter places a packet inside a locker. Johnson tells Damian that "the ingredients are in". He was actually telling Damian that the package had been deposited.
___________________________________________________
Eric arrives next, he passes Johnson but they pretend not to know each other. Eric tells Damian over the phone that the "egg white has been added into the egg yolk. Stir for another 4 mins". Well, it actually means that he (egg white) has already reached the destination (egg yolk) and he will reach the bowling alley in another 4 mins.
___________________________________________________
Koni arrives at the scene next. Joe orders the bowling alley staff to open the locker up and tells Dickson & Aimee to delay Koni from going up. They pretend to have a lover's tiff to irritate Koni but she takes the escalator instead. Joe opens the package and sees some photos in them. He takes some pictures of them just before Koni proceeds to look at them as well. She phones Damian "the souffle is done". She actually meant that Joe had taken the bait. Wonder what I mean? Read on to find out.
___________________________________________________
The police follows Koni & Eric to Royal Court Hotel (the hotel used in Revolving Doors of Vengeance). Again, I was wondering why did Koni & Eric take the risk of being seen together. The photos taken at the locker were sent to the police headquarters for verification but the commissioner has a shock after he looks at them. Wonder why?
___________________________________________________
Koni & Eric proceed on to the hotel's restaurant where the guys in the pictures were dining. They change into waiter's uniforms and Koni takes aim at the chandelier and shoots it down causing the whole room to go into total darkness and confusion. During the confusion, Joe and his team dashes in and points guns at the guys in the pictures while Eric and Koni make their departure. Aimee attacks one of the guys and Joe's superior comes in and scolds them for attacking the police officers from China.
___________________________________________________
Damian & his team celebrate their success in trapping Joe and the police. If you don't understand the plan, it was actually to cause Joe to mistake that Damian's team was on to another transaction and their partners were the guys in the pictures. However, Damian had actually tracked down that the China Police Officers would be in Hong Kong and trapped Joe into attacking them so he would demoted by his boss and would stop following them.
A very smart plan. I was thinking through out the plan why was Damian so stupid as to let the police be so close on their tails. Guess I was wrong. His character is damn smart.
__________________________________________________
Joe and Damian have a race where Joe tells Damian of his mentor's death 5 years ago. This lead to a short recollection of Damian which shows him pointing a gun at Joe's mentor. Hmm. I wonder what's their relationship because Damian doesn't look like the type who would kill.

Koni & Eric proceed on to the hotel's restaurant where the guys in the pictures were dining. They change into waiter's uniforms and Koni takes aim at the chandelier and shoots it down causing the whole room to go into total darkness and confusion. During the confusion, Joe and his team dashes in and points guns at the guys in the pictures while Eric and Koni make their departure. Aimee attacks one of the guys and Joe's superior comes in and scolds them for attacking the police officers from China.___________________________________________________
Damian & his team celebrate their success in trapping Joe and the police. If you don't understand the plan, it was actually to cause Joe to mistake that Damian's team was on to another transaction and their partners were the guys in the pictures. However, Damian had actually tracked down that the China Police Officers would be in Hong Kong and trapped Joe into attacking them so he would demoted by his boss and would stop following them. A very smart plan. I was thinking through out the plan why was Damian so stupid as to let the police be so close on their tails. Guess I was wrong. His character is damn smart.
