In Response To: But that 'Mak' guy and Jade Leung 's part was good!!! *NM* (Suet Yi)

I agree. I found the relationship between Jade's character, the "Mak" guy (since I don't know his name  ) and Fiona Yuen's character to be the most interesting in AMOC. But there isn't much time spent on these three characters and isn't reason enough to rent the series.

I really wanted to know Fiona Yuen's character's backstory. I already knew why Jade's character is the way she is but why is Fiona's character the way she is? I know Jade's character wants to be mothered and Fiona's character wants to mother, what I wanted to know was how that came about.

The family dynamics for the three of them would make interesting material but it was easily resolved and underdeveloped.

Also, I really wanted to see how the two women fit into the their customs team. How does one stomach a character like Fiona's character? The team seems to do it quite well, why is that so? Also, Jade's character seems weak but seems to fit into the team quite well too. The rest of the team don't seem resentful of them. Instead it's Jessica's character who does not get along with them and thinks that they are weak. But if Lisa's character is such a discerning boss, why would she keep both Fiona's and Jade's characters above Jessica's character? Basically, I think Jessica's character was removed too fast from the team so while we see the conflict, there is no resolution. The group dynamics and Fiona's character is woefully underdeveloped as a result of that.
