Peter Fong: The
first thought that popped-upped in my head when I saw the opening theme
of this serial... "Shit, those damn bastards of that videostore gave me
a copy of Files Of Justice!!!!" Well, it wasn't that strange that I thought
that. There are some similarities between FOJ and HH. For one they both
didn't had a themesong, but an opening theme (only music that is) and they
share a lot of actors too!! But there's more, they were both GREAT series.
What I liked about HH? Well, the story of HH is original, the plot is well-thought, the characters are UNIQUE and realistic (well, at least they were 3 dimensional), and the actors and actress were all GREAT, but what really impressed me was the way TVB managed to make the character’s personalities develop. You can clearly see them change during the ongoing of the story, influenced by their experiences. Another good thing is that there isn’t a real leading couple in this
serie. Everyone is as important (although in the end, it concentrated more
on Ada’s and Ng Kai Wa’s story) (however, a negative sideeffect is that
it’s really hard to remember their names this way… it took me half the
serie to finally know their names.
And just like FOJ and DIF, HH is about a group of people who happens
to have the same job. This time they all work in the same hospital, but
actually the scenes in the hospital is just an excuse to let the characters
interact with each other.
Anyway, as a conclusion, there are little series that are as good as
this one. At least there’s none that has this much impact to people. This
serie would probably be voted as THE serie of the late 90’s. Side by side
with Secret Of Hearts or DIF. It is your lost if you don’t watch this one.
Don’t regret when your TVB-crazed son or daughter ask you about this serie
and you don’t know how to answer.
