FAV COUPLE: AH PAK AND AH CHUI 
It's such a pity that Chui has to die....I don't really like Pak with Yue. 

MOST TOUCHING SCENE:  I think all the 4 death scenes are touching 

MOST PITIFUL CHARACTER: AH CHUI AND AH BUTT 
Feel so sad for Chui, she scarcifices so much for Ah Pak but he doesn't trust her a bit. 
and Ah Butt......a tragic end!  
I hate Ah Butt's wife man! That irritating woman....heartless woman! well macro too, he's the big baddie....but i hate him for rayping Ah Chui. 

MOST FUNNY: WHO ELSE? OF COURSE DAI HENG AND HIS WIFE =) 

MOST EXCITING SCENE: AH CHUI'S DEATH 
the way Chui and Yue struggled to get out of the mud trap. 

TRY HARDER: LEE SAN SAN 
When I see her act....I think she finds it difficult to act.....she definitely has to try a lot harder!  

 

I feel that Burning Flame is one of the most touching and thought provoking TVB Serial I have ever seen. Initially, I found it really boring. YES B-O-R-I-N-G, so boring that I have to fast forward some parts. I must say that the build up of the story is very slow and I’m very impatient. I rented this serial happily, thinking that I can see Louis for 40 odd episodes but only to find that he’s not the main character. Great disappointment at first but as I watched on….I began to feel that this serial is definitely worth my money. This is one of the few serials that manage to make me cry so much. I’m not someone who weep at every little tragedy. The producers and scriptwriters brought out the death scenes very well. There are 4 major deaths and they are the main essence of the show, besides the deep friendship, bonding and laughter the 3 musketeers (Wong Hei, Ka Lok andCheng Keng Kei) brought out.   Death…something that most people fear….something that as we grow up, we just have to accept it. They brought out 3 ways of dying in the serial. 1: Due to sickness, 2: by accident, 3: committing suicide The 1st climax is the death of Ah Yau’s mum. It’s really heart wrenching…and the way they shoot it…very touching and “beautiful”. I must say Wong Hei’s acting is brilliant in the show. The way he cries, the way he tries to run away from the fact that his mother is dying. Sometimes an illness comes just so suddenly. Death can be very sudden and life is so fragile. It’s so sudden that u find it hard to accept. But life has to go on…In times like this, support from family and friends is very vital. Luckily, Ah Yau has Pik Yiu to help him tie over the difficult times.  The 2nd death, death of Ah Chui. I feel very frustrated with Ah Pak(Louis’s Character) and blamed him for her death. Ah Chui loves him so much, so deeply, yet he doesn’t trust her a bit. She’s deeply hurt when she finds that Ah Pak is having second thoughts about marrying her. I’m very touched by Ah Chui’s undying love for Pak and her words before she dies: “Ah Pak, I really love u, I really want to marry u, to bear children for u….won’t u forgive me?” Personally, I think she did nothing wrong, it’s Ah Pak that should be begging for forgiveness. There’s no doubt that Pak is devastated over Chui’s death, but everything is too late for regrets! The 3rd death, death of a fireman, I can't remember what's his name. He died while saving someone, a heroic death I must say. He's such a responsible fireman who refuses to let the man go even when his ownlife is at stake. Actually, I feel that he shouldn't have clung on to that man. He tried his best, he cannot save that man so at least, he should have saved himself instead of perishing with that guy. But Perhaps if he had let go, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life, that he’s not been a responsible fireman. I feel extremely angry when those stupid family members keep shifting all the blame on the firemen when they themselves are in fact responsible for the disaster.    The last good guy to die is Ah Butt. Many people said that he’s a coward for committing suicide. I think that it takes just as much courage to end one’s life. When someone chooses to die, we won’t be able to understand how they think. When life to them has become so bleak…so devastating…..and pointless…… U can see how helpless Butt looks. He couldn’t even find anyone to talk to. Ya he found Pak, he talks to Pak but that Pak is too cool and indifferent to notice anything weird about him. For Ah Butt, he’s always branded as a great failure, by this family, friends and his lousy wife. He chooses to die because he wants to do something that he decides on his own and he does not want to be a burden to Ah Yau and Dai Hing anymore. Undoubtedly, Ah Yau and Dai Hing are very sad over his death. They've been friends since young...laughing together....playing together....and even working together.  Life’s ironical, like the way those firemen try to save Ah Chui but fail. Ah Chui’s brother wept and said: “We saved so many lives everyday, but we couldn’t even save just ONE dearest to us. It’s indeed devastating for her brother….the feeling….they are so close to saving her. Frankly, I like serials like this. It’s generally funny, but when the time comes, there are also a lot of climaxes and touching moments. Watch this serial. have a good cry, have a good thought about life and death and hopefully u learn something from it.
