Face to Fate - Thoughts
Face to Fate has been an awesomely cool show, and it still is. It is the show that spurred me on to learn Cantonese, and it was the show my mum recommended to me.
I still remember the time where I was studying hard for my upcoming tests, and my mum was watching it. Right then, she watched it on
Crunchyroll. For me, I watched it on
Veoh. I only caught a glimpse of Episode 2 where Frankie had sealed Tavia's point, making her sit with her hand raised up and also making her look stupid - haha. =D
It is a great show, and there is almost no flaws in it. Its plot is near-flawless, good and original. You've never had another TVB show about this. Usually they'd show some battles over good and evil, but they won't show searching for
replacements, would they? Anyway, hearing each 5 contestants' stories were entertaining and a good watch.
The main characters - Frankie, Tavia, Raymond, Selena, Nancy and Derek - acted to perfection. Frankie was convincing as the serious and down-to-earth fortune teller, Raymond totally got into his role as the guy who resorted to frolic, Derek was cool as an assasin, Selena fit as the mysterious innkeeper, and Tavia and Nancy played as they had to be - annoying and irritating. This is also the first show I see Frankie's acting, as well as Selena's. =D
My fave replacements are the Hong couple, whom the wife wants to start a pig farm. They were hilarious! I kept laughing. The others had interesting pasts, too.
The only bad thing was the costumes of most of the people, especially the bad way's followers. They were dressed horribly, if I wanted to be honest. Well, but I got used to it soon. Also the beginning was a bit messy. At the start, it shows Lei Bo Yee talking to a fortune teller who was masquerading as him, but it was only at my 2nd time watching that I finally understood it and grasped the fact. Anyone who watches the beginning might think it's a lousy show, but by the time you get through, I don't know, 20 minutes? You'd start getting hooked, and in my case, mine was immediate. XD
Is this a good show to watch? Yes! I strongly recommend it. Sometimes it might drag a little, but it's pretty consistent, fun and interesting to watch. The fighting is also pretty good and not that artificial and computer-like. This show rocks. =D
