Dark Tales 2

Cast of Story #5: Patrick Tam and Vivian Leung
Story # 5 -- Patrick played a young flower collector.  He lived in a stable home, not considering rich nor poor.  Then one day Patrick had a weird dream.  He dreamt that he climbed a high mountain and saw a very beautiful red flower, a "Carnation", I think.  Then when Patrick was about to pick the flower, he woke up.  After waking up, he insisted on going up to that mountain so that he can see that "Carnation" again because the dream seems so real to Patrick.  At the same time, Vivian Leung, a fairy flower was wondering around on Earth.  Some bad guy was chasing her, therefore she transformed into a red Carnation on the same spot that Patrick dreamt of.  So when Patrick arrived at the mountain, he saw the actual flower and was stunned.  It was even prettier than his dream!  He bent down and kissed the flower.  then Patrick took the flower home, not realizing that a fairy was in there.   Then on the same day a beautiful young lady came to Patrick's house to rest.  Then they became friends.  But Vivian, the beautiful young lady, had to leave and Patrick was pretty sad.  Then a young man (Vivian Leung in disguised) wanted to stay at Patrick's house for awhile.  Then they became good friends.  I forgot what happened between these times, sorry.  But then after an incident happened, Patrick hugged Vivian (she's still a guy).  He freaked out, because he thought he might be gay!  Then later on he realized that Vivian was a flower fairy and that she's a girl.  When they were married, there were lightings and thunder because a fairy was not allowed to married to a mortal, and Patrick's mortal.  This meant that something terrible is gonna happen.  Something happened that I can't remember.  But Patrick got very jealous of Vivian for something and this made her very sad.  She ran away to the mountains and her hair turned pure white.  Suddenly Patrick realized that he was wrong about Vivian and he regrets it.  He went looking for her and found her at last.  Something happened that made Vivian's haor turned back to normal again and both Patrick and her turned to fairies.  Sorry this summary is pretty hard to understand I know, but i have seen thais series about a year ago and can't remember all the details.
Over-all I don't really like this story because I think it's kinda lame, but I watch it anyway and didn't pay much attention to it.  You can tell from my summary!

Legend of the Swordsman Lai Po Yee: Cast: Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Vivian Leung Siu Bing, Elizabeth Lee Mei-Fun, Timmy Ho Po Sing, and Lam Kei-Yan

This story was about Lai Po Yee (Patrick Tam) who was talented in fortune telling, predicting the future, and
  changing destiny. He grew up in a well-to-do family and had a servant name Shing Mei (Vivian
  Leung).  Patrick, Vivian, and Timmy Ho grew up together and they became good friends. When Patrick's family ran into
 trouble with a powerful Duke, Patrick and his family had to move away. Patrick and Vivian at first were only friends but
  they then became a couple when he found out that she liked him. At first, he didn't really like her because he had only
  thought of her as a friend, but when he realized that he did like her all this time, she said to him that they should remain
 friends. Patrick had to keep his love for Vivian hidden until when they were together when he thought that she was dying
   then he confessed to her that he loved her and he wanted to marry her. Elizabeth Lee also liked Patrick so she really
 disliked Vivian. Timmy Ho on the other hand liked Elizabeth who was a princess. After Patrick's dad died, he and Vivian
  traveled to the King's palace to help the king restore his health. Patrick became very popular in the palace and the king
 promoted him to a very high command. Timmy Ho was very jealous of Patrick. When Vivian was poisoned by a girl from
 another country, Patrick became extrememly upset. He went all over the kingdom to search for the cure, but he couldn't
 find any. When Patrick met up to the same girl who poisoned Vivian, he yelled at her for her stupidity and cruelty towards
 Vivian. The girl became regretful and came back one night into Vivian's bedroom (she was unconscious) and gave her the
 curing medicine. After Vivian woke up, she and the girl fought with some people in black uniform. Accidentally, Vivian fell
 off the cliff. Patrick became extremely depressed. When the king ordered that Patrick marry his sister (Elizabeth) Patrick
 immediately refused; therefore, he was sent to another country. While Patrick was away, Timmy Ho began to gain power
 in the palace again. Patrick met the same girl who poisoned Vivian again when he went to another country. She explained
 to him that Vivian fell off the cliff, at first Patrick didn't believe her but then he did. The girl was the daughter of the king of
 the country that Patrick was in. Patrick's duty for going to this country was to bring back the captured "old" king and his
 royal son. But Patrick failed to accompolish his task. The girl helped Patrick by offering to marry him so that the night of
   their marriage he could escape with the "old" king. During the celebration before the wedding a group of dancing girls
 came. To Patrick's surprise, Vivian was one of the dancing girls. She was astonished when she learned that he was going
 to be the Prince of the land after his marriage to the princess. She quickly left the place after the dance was done. Vivian
 had been rescued by a group of musical dancers when she fell off the cliff. Patrick quickly left to search for Vivian. When
  he met up to her, she was sitting on the ground crying. Patrick came up and Vivian ran away, but he catched her hands.
 He told her that they were not going to ever be separated again. (this part was so emotional). On the night of the marriage,
  Patrick and the others escaped but the princess died. Patrick came back to his country and discovered that Timmy Ho
  had control of the palace.  Timmy Ho somehow had won Elizabeth's heart and she married him so he then became the
 prince of the land. Timmy Ho died at the end and his wife became a nunn.  Patrick and Vivian traveled together across the
                kingdom in search of the "Dragon's Sole" in order to extend the kingdom's rule.
       Over-all I think this was a great serie, probably the only serie in TVB that Patrick had a lead role.  Patrick was great in this serie,   maybe a little bit weak in acting but still excellent.  Vivian Leung and Timmmy Ho were great, too.
