    i feel only Idy can sometimes reply so “witty” ..hahaha~! Like “Why do I have to be scared of you?” “Kind of…”

    It doesn’t seem like Sammi’s type of response. Not really sure who Kwan Ji Lam is… but it seems like Idy’s style of responses hahaha~! Love it!! NinNin & WahWah <3

      haven’t you already watched Casino Raiders? or maybe Ms.Kwan’s role overshadowed by Idy’s and you didn’t care at all when watching it? I often think Kwan and Idy share some resembling features, but of course Idy has that traditional beauty looks that Kwan doesn’t have.

      (didn’t see this comment of yours until now)

        LOL I did. Definitely overshadowed. I was more interested in Idy’s role 😛 + I secretly was rooting for Andy & Idy’s role even though I knew she was to be with Alan 🙁 I still kind of felt at the end he loved Idy’s role …

        I didn’t really like how they had such a sad ending :'( and totally didn’t like Alan’s role…..

    Lols well it’d defeat the intention of referring back to CYLO. Haha the photo i’d have would be from here anyways :P. But perhaps i should 🙂 LOL

    Lol thx but haha not what i meant. I feel we have similar intentions for opening a site for our idols, face similar problems that i think most people would think keeping the site up is pointless (i have met people like that). But we keep maintaining it, keep updating it. Im sure theres a bit of “fire” in both of us that keeps the sites alive. 🙂 however i’d take your compliment anywaysk hahah

      Perhaps I’m being an ignorant, but I really don’t know of any other websites like CYLO out there? (besides those Chinese forums at Baidu, diezi.net, etc) There was a time (probably less than a year) years ago that CYLO shut down [or rather temporarily closed because of lacking of news] and another website [almost a replica of CYLO] popped up, but it went dead just a short time after that. I had to think hard when I created a Facebook account to “advertise” CYLO to more fans, but it hasn’t been a success due to others started to copy what I posted, and created other “Pages” there [it’s still just a FB “Group” for CYLO and it is less popular than FB “Pages”]

      Please don’t misunderstand me that I want to monopolize “Idy” on the web, I’m more than happy to share any her news and photos to the public regardless the audience is her fan or not. My main goal is to “consolidate” all fans into the same communities [English, Chinese and Vietnamese], but it’s quite difficult to do so. Facebook is not easily accessible in China [which has a larger fanbase], it could be the same for Tumblr. English-speaking fans in North America (US and Canada) are more scattered. Fans in Asia region speak different languages, and they post in their own languages on FB, and i often have no clues 🙂 So I prefer to keep CYLO the way it has been, just a traditional website, and occasionally posts on Facebook [via non-personal/CYLO account] and Weibo [via my personal account]

      I do appreciate all the comments received here, I hope to continue to see visitors here instead at those “commercial/social networking sites” 😀

        Thank you everyone! Maintaining this website has become the hobby that I really enjoy even with time constraints, as we all have busy lives ourselves.

        JingMui, I do understand your well intention to comments on her photos at Tumblr. Perhaps, you could start an account on it, and I might follow you on that… but I’m unsure if I should have another net account that I might abandon later on 🙂 Esp. when I can’t go to any of those social networking sites during working hours, I could browse on my mobile during breaks, but then the whole point of having breaks is either doing nothing or eating haha! By the time I have a little time for internet, my eyes get tired 🙁

        Anyway, Thanks so much for cheering us on. Yes – I can see the hard work you have put on Nancy Sit’s site for quite a while now.

        Aws sakura!!! Thanks for all your work towards making idy news assessible!! As mentioned before fans like us who have no real clue about whats going on at baidu or dienanh really appreciate CYLO’s existence. Its become a community for us english fans to be in the 411 of idy.

        Its sad to hear thats the case, but hope Im not being mistakened either. Haha i meant it as a compliment to idy’s pictures. Tumblr is more of a photo twitter and im those types that when i have a “feel” or liking i’d like to share my thoughts on it. Every single photo. Haha. I use to write blogs so its been a habit to analyze everything. I dont like twitter or asian weibo because it has text restraints & i wanted a CYLO one because it seems to be really hard to find people who only post idy & not a sudden mix of others. 🙂 but i absolutely get what you mean from a webmistress & devoted fan perspective wgose really put so much effort in!!! FYI i dont care how fluctuating readership gets here, your going to have to see me comment. Even if the post doesnt match with the timing of your stuff. Haha. Im going to lure you out to have discussions about idy with me 😛

        yeah – I never get those fans who personally attack other artists just because they “interpret” their characters with the news they read. none of us fans know Idy well enough to judge her, let alone Andy. We only make believe that we know her [personally]. No, you didn’t overestimate the YG+SLL popularity, it’s been always like that for the past 15 years [or ever since I was first exposed to internet] there’s always someone who is totally against them, and then subjectively criticize the artists themselves. Don’t mind those words, that’s how I’ve survived the “cyber wuxia” over the years…

        i dont mind critics of my work, i guess im just slightly surprised by the number of people who don’t actually like them as a pairing. I feel bad mainly because Andy is Idy’s friend… i really liked that moment in the concert but some started commenting on andy’s personality type of thing. it felt weird, because whether or not its true about Andy .. it’s weird if Idy actually reads this stuff. I don’t think she’ll appreciate knowing fans are judging her friends in a public community. I personally feel I am at fault since I overestimated the popularity of Yeung Kwor & SLL and wasn’t careful with how i phrased everything. I definitely don’t know enough about the two to know what is appropriate to “play” with. 🙁 Sorry veteran Sakura 🙁

      USLT edition for SSSS released out much faster than I expected, I’ve downloaded them but really haven’t watched it again because I’m so lazy fast-forwarding to Idy’s parts. I hope someone will do a version of SSSS with only Idy’s cuts hehe. Good scripts and storyline are important to her to film again, oh well, it’s true for all the veterans that TVB has been trying to get them come back to the company. Agreed with you, while I like Damian, but it’s time for her to work with someone else. It’s all about fate and timing, esp. Idy’s often nowhere to be found 🙂

    haha i may be young but i am not someone who is extremely “interested” in just anything.

    16 years ago, I may not have known how to use a computer … but I did watch and remember my first Nancy drama, which happened to be her returning drama: A Kindred Spirit. Probably like you, since I grew up watching her, I grew an attachment haha. There’s a lot of artistes I “like” for their acting or personality but at this age, I can differentiate between admiration of someone’s work vs admiration of a person as whole.

    Surprisingly though, I’ve developed this sudden respect and interest for Idy too! Haha~ I would 100% credit you and your website for the additional understanding. + Be My Guest interview. Now it’s pretty much my daily hash tag I look up on weibo.

    I hope Idy visits your site~!! I think she’d really appreciate what you have done to make her more internationally recognized. thumbs up!

      I believe people change with time. We learn about the artistes for their work, and eventually their persons, and that’s the way I’ve grown to love Idy. Perhaps it’s because she’s such a private person, so my persistence on keeping the website and looking for her news hasn’t stopped all these years.

      Yes – she knows this site and has visitted, but I have no clues how often she goes here. I sense that she “knows” me as well, but then I’m too a “private” person on the net, and I don’t really advertise this site much.

    Haha I agree, the endings are very unsatisfactory or even, I feel they make Idy’s roles end up single or really pitiful most of the time.

    SSSS was my first Idy drama. And while I became admiring of Idy from it, the drama itself had aspects that was just not my cup of tea. I had expectations of what I thought the story would be about and I after realizing where it was heading, I still felt certain aspect of it didn’t make sense to me. 1) I still don’t get why Hong Tze Kwan liked Cheuk Manh that much given her personality. And given her personality, I never really thought she would end up accepting him again. Her role had some much opportunities to grow with but I was disappointed how skewed it became upon being with Cheuk Man 2) The “redemption” aspects were missing. Johnny & Cheuk Man totally should be punished one way or the other. 3) I honestly don’t believe Cheuk Manh really loved Tse Kwan in the end. It felt more like all the stuff he said, he was thinking and referring to his relationship with Yee Yin. It seemed more like, out of responsibility, he was going to marry her. Same reason why he took Jimmy back from England. 4) I cannot see why Charles would ever forgive a woman who directly resulted in the suffering of his mother. I eventually ended up watching it for Idy and the other wives. They wrote the relationship between Yee Yin & Arthur ..a couple that we would root for but again…very unbearable to watch because it’s heartbreaking.

    I think Idy’s acting gradually improved too in SSSS. While I never watched any of her works before, her acting definitely matched with the dynamics of the drama. Some may disagree, but I feel as her story went on, I saw more and more “inner acting”. Perhaps even more so, I and along with the huge new wave of Idy fans became really immersed with Yee Yin!!

    BUT I think your recommendation to watch the UpHeaval really sealed it for me! Yip Ling ~!! <3 <3

      I couldn’t disagree more with all you’ve said. I skipped the whole Hong Tze Kwan thing, her character is already the flaw in the beginning. I was hoping an outrageous act from Charles, in which would cause a fall in Arthur, but his role is just plain boring. Jimmy showed contrition on his actions, but he really wanted to a complete forgiveness and full acceptance from Arthur. Both of them should be forever indebted ton Yee Yin.

      Yes – I can see the huge wave of new Idy’s fans. Idy’s mission on getting her name known by returning to act is really successful.

      Have you listened to Idy’s radio drama Love In A Fallen City 傾城之戀? I wish they had filmed it instead as a radio. I meant to upload on Youtube for a while now but still haven’t got the time…

      TvBoxNow torrents already stopped working after Ep.38, probably discovered by TVB. If you want torrent downloads, you can register hdzone.org, i believe links there still work. For non-torrent download, you could always do your own searches, many sites (ie. AzDrama) offer links to download via file sharing sites (ryushare,filecloud,bitshare,etc…) If you don’t want to register accounts to download at those file sharing sites, use Jdownloader.org to download them. Hope these help. I only link these download sites to help those who don’t know Chinese, I have no affiliation with them.

      This October will mark 30 years of ROCH1983, it’s really part of TVB biggest pride. Generally ROCH story is less favorite than LOCH story, but Andy and Idy have made the ROCH couple more likeable than in the novel, esp. SLL Idy. Can’t believe that they were only 22-23, so fresh, so young… Wonder if there’s another reunion of them in public for us to admire…

        I don’t have to be on vacation to watch Idy’s series lol. I just bought ROCH original dvds, the DVD-9 version that was released later that’s cheaper. I guess I’ve matured when watching it this time so I was able to enjoy the whole series. The first two times I was too young to appreciate.

        I always thought that LOCH is more popular too, but my sister thinks otherwise. Also, when buying LOCH, I was told that LOCH was out and they only had ROCH. I asked if it’s because people buy LOCH more, he said no it’s because people requested more ROCH so the store had to order more.

    yesterday’s light …the one with her and adam was very meaningful. i kind of suspected there was something wrong with him but I didn’t expect it to have that type of twist in the end. Its a reflection of society through a romance film. Another movie where she leads that left me in awe. The other one was “L’air de temps”. Not sure if that’s the movie title but it was the name of the perfume. Both leave the viewers reflecting about society, but two very different roles.

      Oh my! you even able to see these rare movies. I remember when I first saw Last Night’s Light, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for so long, and have watched again many times since. For “L’air de Temps”, was it about she’s looking for the father of her child, and 3 men showed up for her ad. I don’t remember much.. since I watched it once. Perhaps, one of these days I have to watch it again. Idy’s quite versatile since early days of her acting career. Esp. with the one with Adam, she was younger than most of leading ladies in Qiongyao movies back then. Though, I’m really not into QY stories, her stories often have a character who is either disabled or insane.

      • From JingMui on Happy 2013

        Yup that one! I feel like the three movies I’ve seen her lead in: Last Night’s Light, L’air de Temps and Love Till Road Ends (with Bowie Lam) they seem to be focusing about romance but they have a very good message it tries to bring to the viewers. Last Night’s Light, discuss the topic about society’s view on mentally disabled individuals and how these members live in society. Ultimately, even though Idy’s role insisted on being with Adam till the end but he couldn’t accept that even his last bit of pride was inevitably revealed to others — resulted in his death.

        L’air de Temps comes off as those cute romance stories that hollywood films likely have had versions — trying to figure out who the father is : but then it reveals about how society has become more careless about relationships with one another and the fact that males are traditional and want a son etc. And whether or not it was really Idy seeking or Idy seeking on behalf of another — wasn’t known. All three men couldn’t possibly have remembered it being Idy but they clearly were captivated by Idy’s beauty and ultimately imagined it was her. However, it’d be hilarious if Idy was really the friend and the real woman they were with was someone less attractive. How many of these men would actually claim themselves to be the father?

        Love Till Road Ends: a very very pitiful love story but shows how difficult it is for those who once had everything drop to be worse than nothing. The changes in character of Bowie. Emphasized how it is possible for friendship to really embrace all the wrong doings of a person. However till the very end, Bowie’s gambling addiction, his desire to reclaim his once immense amount of fortune / business …pushed him to a dead end. His choice of dying is very realistic…because most people wouldn’t be able to take such hits. They wouldn’t be able to take pity from others etc. And while Idy’s role clearly had a choice of being with someone SO MUCH better, she reflects the blindness of love people have.

        Although I am unsure of how much say Idy has on picking movies she takes part in, back then but I remember one of Idy’s interview, she said she hopes viewers will take something away after watching her works….so I wonder if it’s just coincidence I watched some meaningful works or she really does only participate in stuff she thinks is worthy. I meant leading ones ..not guest starring.

        Good analyses on these movies – I believe Idy did have the liberty of picking which projects she’s in back then and it’s same for today. It’s so true that many of her work make the viewers still thinking about her characters after watching them an hour ago or even 20 years ago. Unfortunately, the endings for most these stories often don’t satisfy the audiences. Just like the latest SSSS, most are basically upset with Yee Yin’s ending, yet it gives them the option pondering into many possible scenarios after she left to England with her buddy. Though, somehow I just don’t experience the “withdrawal” after finishing SSSS just like I did with Catch Me Now 4 years ago. Perhaps, I was indeed expecting much more than I lead on. I really hate how the Chung family became all happy and harmonious like “The Brady Bunch”. Arthur didn’t crash and burn, Charles divorced so he could be a “good husband”, Jimmy wasn’t punished…

    Princess 5 is my BEST favorite character of Costume Drama and Yip Lin is be Best selection character of regular drama. Both of characters were strong and truly reflect opposite side of Idy. Both broke my heart and made me cry.

    Hello both sisters. I just had time to read ALL your posts about Idy.

    JingMui, Welcome to Idy’s addict fans club. You beat all of us by watching Upheaval overnight.

    My best and the most remembrance character of Idy was Princess 5 of The Grand Canal…..love love Idy and Tony as couple and happy of their ending.

    My second favorite character was Yip ling of the Upheaval. I am never tired of re-watch both of her drama whenever I have time.

    Your review was correct about the feeling I had when during the time of watching the GC

      Hi Emmy!! Haha thanks for the welcome!! I think it’s because I found the Idy Cuts version posted by Sakura (I assume because the website was on the video). I didn’t watch the entire Upheaval drama I don’t think. But given that Idy was lead and everything related to Yip Ling — it does seem like watching all of it 🙂

      I think to date I still like Yip Ling over Princess 5 (probably because I’m only watching selected segments & I have no idea about the story). I guess I have to really get the chance to watch the entire drama 🙂

      Did you watch Love Me, Love Me Not?

      btw do you have weibo as well??

    Just finished the grand canal selected clips!!! Princess 5 & Tony are cute but painful to watch if I were to watch the entire drama. There ups and downs in the relationship would have drained me since they seem to have so much misunderstandings and family background issues. But their relationships seems like one I would have rooted for since they both seem to sacrifice for each other a lot.

    Ohs did you get my weibo messages?!! Please tell me I got the right person…or it’d be ridiculously embarrassing!!

    Oh well if you meant by calling them, then perhaps yes. I have faith you will see Idy eventually. She must be going to HK eventually if she said it would be okay to send her gifts to TVB. Perhaps an upcoming drama or event she will be attending? Does she have any annual HK event that she attends?

      That’s why I show you the selected clips… but if you’re really into the drama, it’s a really good one to follow.

      I didn’t get any messages from you, but I’m sending you one now…………

      Haha.. perhaps one of these days (after I practice a few phrases of Mandarin) I would call them and ask for Idy 🙂 This reminds me of a friend, he insisted that I must speak Mandarin with him, and even left voice messages in Mandarin for me (normally, we’d speak English only). Luckily, I understood his messages and when I tried to tell him back.. in Mandarin, he got frustrated and we ended up speaking English only. This bad experience haunted me

      Yes – she’s back and forth between HK and Guangzhou I believe. But it seems that she has a permanent place in Guangzhou and a rented place in HK. Her annual HK events are often low key and not reported in the news. Around March, she might meet up with EYT cast for small gathering. Also, she asks for fans’ contact info so in case if she’s in any city (especially in China), she would tell them to come out to meet up with her… I can’t think any reason she will come to the States. Perhaps, I should ask fans at Baibu if I do can WhatsApp messaging with her? argh… I’m day dreaming….

        Oh mandarin? that’s hard….I can only do cantonese. My mandarin makes people want me to shut up hahaha. Oh call and ask for her? Are they her personal assistants or something?

        Ohs cool I’ve been to HK & Guangzhou before! Haha I shall try my luck next time I visit…which is ….unknown when that’d happen again. I heard Damian found her in British Columbia, Canada….I wonder if Idy will come to Canada again. From reading the fans experience, she sounds like a really adorable person!! Really sweet of her too, to offer that chance to meet her fans wherever she goes!

        I day dream a lot too….for everything.

        I’ve been shot by Idy poison …..

    i just finished The Upheaval! Yip Ling’s character is so sad, I cried twice when she revealed her true self to Yik Lun even though I wouldn’t like to have Yip Ling as a sister (haha she likes to control a lot). However as a viewer, I like her strength, calmness and collective. At the same time, love her scenes when she and Yik Lun are together as a couple. So sweet!! And their ending, so romantic and sad.

    Now that I look at this, was No Regrets based on this? Or the same writer at least? I see aspects that are very similar.

      Tough question on my most favorite Idy’s work 😉 The Grand Canal is my pick, even though it’s not the drama that introduced her to me. The story is dynamic, strong, and most characters are well developed. TVB did go out of their way to produce such a high budget in the 80s. I still can feel the great chemistry between Idy and Tony regardless of most others think otherwise.

      Most of us didn’t expect that Idy would come back to HK in time to be at Andy’s concert, but it happened and it’s just so surreal for all of us. What you described of their stage presence is totally opposite of someone commented on one of the videos as if they were computerized holograms.. Geeze!

      OMG! Just less than half a day since my previous comment and you already finished The Upheaval with Idy’s cutouts! You must be a night owl! I’m glad that SSSS was showing during the least busy time of the year for me, or else I could crash so easy without not having my 5 hours (at least) of sleep a day.

      I haven’t seen No Regrets, but just reading reviews and watching teasers, it’s possible for the similarities. Can’t believe that Wayne has risen from a small role in The Upheaval to a leading man in No Regrets.

        Can’t tell if you’re already working or still a student, but it’s always good to be on break 😀 Especially when you seem to spend the time on getting to know Idy/Yee Yin by watching her TVs and movies.

        I don’t remember the name of Wayne’s character in The Upheaval, but hope this capture (which i posted on my weibo) would help you to recognize him http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/6709c9f7jw1dxzb95n2ilj.jpg

        Yes – The Grand Canal has a whopping of 60 episodes. So it’d take a while to download if you know the links. It’s the 20th Anniversary drama.

        Too bad the official DVDs of Andy Unforgettable didn’t have Idy’s segment included or else we could have seen more clips with better quality on Youtube already. Sigh!

        Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to meet Idy in person 🙁 Though, I keep my faith and dream alive that some day I’ll get to meet her in person, whenever and wherever! Wish me luck! I visited HK twice in the past 5 years, but neither time had the chance or knew anyone that could help me to get in contact with her. Also, there’s some language barrier between me and fans at Baidu (JC, Huyi…)

        For me, her role in Love Me, Love Me Not is not only reflecting her true person, but also her life.

        Yes – I’ve been on weibo for almost 3 years now! Argh.. how time flies! My trick of browsing Chinese sites is mousing over the links to see the URLs. Most of time, the URLs could really tell more about the links because I can guess where to go. For example, for profile setting, the URL has something like “profile”, etc. Also, I use Weibo app on iPhone and it’s been available in English since last year… and does this look familiar to you? 😉 http://icif.chanyuklinonline.com/IMG_1780.PNG

        Most fans at Baidu are in China, so they don’t speak English 🙁 and I can’t converse in Cantonese nor Mandarin 🙁 or else I could have called them already… oh well…

        As for The Grand Canal, you can have a crash-watch here http://chanyuklinonline.com/tv_gc.htm

        oh you do have weibo!!! Haha If you can play on weibo, your chinese should be okay too no? Does HC/ Hui Yi not speak chinese / english?? I generally use my translated english from english to chinese on google translate to talk with other nancy fans on baidu XD. They find my chinese weird though haha~!

        yes it is him!! And such a lovely picture of Idy!! After watching the Upheaval I keep having that background “lalala” song in my mind. Its hilarious slightly because for many of the scenes where Yip Ling is trashing other places etc, they play that song…which is kind of weird but really catchy.

        I think my main issue with dramas like Grand Canal also is the screen time problem. Not fond of watching dramas where Idy isn’t the lead (I watched Crazy Companies…the role as Joanne was so small 🙁 ) And while Idy’s role was really cool in Stage Door Johnny, I had no idea why the screen time was focused on some of the other actresses. Then again, other than knowing Idy Chan & Kara Hui … I didn’t know anyone else in the movie. ALSO … is it just me or do a lot of these movies or dramas Idy is in, Idy’s romantic storylines are really sad? Other than Return of Condor Heroes (which I managed to go sneak into to see how they end but because it was in mandarin, I had no idea what was going on) everything else ended sadly. SSSS: divorce. CMN: widow. Casino Raiders: I’m assuming she left him in the end. SD Johnny: Potential mate dies in a shooting. Can’t Stop Loving You: husband is an awful gambling addict etc. Beats her & puts her through so much. Both dies. Kawashima Yoshiko : husband is an emperor that wouldn’t let her go. A Warrior’s Tragedy: not a fan of Dik Lung, but her role dies before being together. Crazy Companies: single after realizing Andy was lying. Siamese Twins: again, killed by own boyfriend. The Upheaval: they only gave me 5 episodes of them being a couple and I’m assuming they didn’t survive the bombing 🙁 Too sad!! So pitiful!!!

        Love Me, Love Me Not hopefully will be better…

        Hehe the great thing about being on break, is you don’t have to let the rational side of your brain tell you to do something more important. Haha Day 04 of my Idy -marathon 🙂 My TV marathon only happens at night, when I’m too lazy to be out in the cold! 🙂

        Hehe well the difference is that I’m on break 😛

        Oh my it really is Wayne?! It’s the role of Ah Sing right? I had a hard time deciding if it was because Wayne’s voice has changed so much since the Upheaval. Meanwhile Idy, Kathy, Ray Lui & Kenneth Tsang pretty much maintained the same voice today. So I wasn’t sure exactly XD

        Ohs! I saw a small segment of her and Tony in the drama before, I think on youtube? I’d watch it but I recall it is a very long drama & lots of cast?

        LOL maybe that person on youtube only watched one version? I remember watching a version where the video recorded was recording it off these long screens that were previously used as backgrounds for the martial arts segment right before their entrance. So it probably looked too fake to be real (added with the lines going through the screen.) But actually before watching SSSS, I already saw the performance before and had already felt Idy’s very special presence with Andy. However at that time I only had seen the talking parts where Idy talked about her volunteer work. It wasn’t until I was surfing on your site did I see the parts of their grand entrance.

        To be honest, I feel that song Ching Yee Leung Sum Kwan (I think that’s the title, the one they play for Condor Heroes or Idy introductions) gives me goosebumps. My chinese isn’t that great so I don’t entirely understand the lyrics, nor did I entirely watch Condor Heroes — I only know the story of the couple (I never really watched dramas before my time)… I feel like its a very eternal love song. And the fact that its become such a trademark song for Andy & Idy, seeing the song used for the drama and hearing the song again for these two so many years later — just really had this timeless effect. AND IDY & ANDY’s hug!!! It felt like: long lost lovers (although I know they are friends only) reuniting…but hehe I saw two photos of the hug. One was Idy’s view and one was Andy’s. It felt very heart warming just to see them onstage.

        Have you met Idy in real life? What role do you think best reflects her true personality? Haha hope you don’t mind the sudden question but I always thought of it when I was watching. I haven’t been able to pin point out whether I am admiring Idy for Idy now or if I’m admiring her for Yee Yin. Its hard for me since Idy hasn’t been active in the entertainment circle for a long time so I don’t really get a chance to read about her as an off screen person. Meanwhile reading the way people who have met her or worked with her, she really does seem like she has that holy -ness to her. I feel TV dramas or movies make it misleading for fans sometimes to expect idols to be the exact same as their roles. I just wanted to know more of what she is like. 🙂

    haha looks like not only have us fans been poisoned by Idy 🙂 Even Damian and the cast of SSSS. I hope they’d have a gathering again soon!! All these SSSS fanfics on baidu is making me very addicted to Arthur & Yee Yin XD

    btw I watched Catch Me Now! Idy’s quite cute and can handle comedy well! It’s a complete opposite from Yee Yin and I was surprised she actually fitted the “naive-like housewife” role as Yung Yung. Too bad her voice was fluctuated a lot during the drama but I remember it had to do with an infection or something?

    Hope to see her back in action soon!

    Happy New Year!

      Looks like you’re having Arthur&Yee-Yin withdrawal… by catching up on Catch Me Now so fast. Too bad, 2 times in the row, their characters didn’t really give the audience “satisfactory” endings. Luckily that you understand those wonderful fanfics at Baidu. I read a couple but it’s getting too much for me, esp. when I have to convert into Traditional forms, and then translate into English. I can’t recognize simplified.

      Yes – in CMN Idy lost her voice and had to do self voice-over after filming. Must be the stress after many years absent from the industry. But she really did have the humor side as a clumsy, naive “see-lai”. It’d be a dream come true for us fans if she films a comedy.

      Let’s hope for a Great new year! (though, this site is probably to be quiet down in next few months or even in 2013… oh well.. we’ll see…)

        It’s so major cool that you’re having Idy Chan withdrawal after SSSS, and how brave of you to watch the young & daring Idy in Siamese Twins 😛 Casino Raiders is good one, I feel that Andy’s role in CR was parallel to his real person back then towards Idy. There’s also The Crazy Companies in which you can see some fun moments between them. Stage Door Johnny is also recommended. Then again, she’s been more popular with her TV work than films. Have you seen The Upheaval?

        Siamese Twins …I think I was more scared about expecting when the twin sister who pop out. I hate that part the most about scary movies, it’s just not knowing when they show up. But the actual sister ghost / demon (at the end of the movie I wasn’t sure what the sister was) isn’t scary. I think I remember reading somewhere that Andy admitted that during Casino Raiders he really did feel like it was a parallel.

        I haven’t picked up on dramas, the reason being is with movies I don’t mind going through a maximum 2 hour movie. But with dramas, that’s 30/40 episodes perhaps. I’ll wait till someone posts cut-outs of Idy scenes 🙂 I’m checking out Upheaval now, looks like someone did post some cut outs 🙂 Shall check it out.

        I’m currently having a holy moment watching Idy on Andy’s Unforgettable concert! These two are like angel couples (although not real 🙁 ) that never really aged. They still have that very angelic presence to them. Andy is ridiculously manly. Idy has an immense amount of elegant aura. + their attires in those photos with a dark background. Seems so dreamy… haha!

        What has been your favourite Idy performance (movie/tv) ?

        Yes! I didn’t like that although they tried to give us an alternate ending for CMN 🙁

        I dont exactly understand all of the stories since my chinese isn’t that great but I can understand context of what is going on.

        I think I’m having an Idy withdrawal … I watched so many of her past movies last night! From her movie with Bowie Lam, to her special guest for Thieves of Times, to her guest star in the movie with Anita Mui & Andy Lau, then happening to catch her guest starring really quickly for Carina Lau’s movie and lastly being horrified by Siamese Twins. I am thinking of watching Casino Raiders now too (although she seems to be paired with Alan Tam in the trailer 🙁 )

        Hope Idy will come back soon although her main purpose of filming SSSS was for her charity work. With SSSS being most successful for Idy (this HAS to be true since I don’t think any other artiste in this drama other than perhaps also Mary Hon .. had such a big splurge in popularity!!) I think Idy’s face is well recognized even more so around the world!

      Thanks for taking Yee Yin’s side. Clearly I’ve stopped concerning over every little thing that TVB tends to classify the characters or even the artists themselves, but I do have a curious mind most of the time, so just watch these for fun…

      And the finale cut is just too long and pointless with tons of flashback scenes, there’s ones that already used many many times, yawn.

        Catch Me Now is different genre, more fun and lighthearted. Damian was really cool and young looking in it. It was Idy’s comeback series, she had some stiff moments in the beginning but there’s humorous side of her as well. There’s an alternate ending, so it depends on how you look at it… bittersweet ending. Perhaps, watch it when you have nothing else to follow.

    I feel Yee Yin is still the lead in the story. Her departure is one of the leads to the change in Arthur. Louise Lee in HOG left the story before it ended, but she was still lead. Idy’s role helped to shape majority of the plots for SSSS, without her, there’d be no entrance of Zi Kwan (whose suppose to fight for the change towards woman’s rights). So still a lead 🙂

    Yee Yin’s departure has to be one of the biggest climax for the drama. So sad, so memorable.

  • From Ying on 名媛望族 SSSS: Rants and thoughts

    Idy is really an excellent actress. She portrays all the emotions and it felt so real ! I watched the last 10 mins of episode36 and cried so hard.

    I feel that the whole drama she should have been the lead actress. Right from the beginning when they were happy, to the misunderstandings, to the farewell – she acted so well ! I have never been a fan of any actors but now I am a huge fan of hers. I really hope she will act more – love to watch her !

    I’m so glad you posted this. Seriously? TVB’s cut all the good parts and replaced it with all the rubbish scenes. It’s even come to the part where I don’t bother watching the drama anymore unless YY is in it 🙂

    And totally agree with you there, the love triangle between Ron, Kenneth and Rebecca is pointless if you ask me. Why do I feel like Rebecca Chu is the main actress instead of Tavia? Rebecca gets a bigger told than Idy IMO and her acting’s just… Mehhh.

    i knew the ending ahead of time too… but i very much just wished they could be together. but the way they set it up, had us all in love with the two at the beginning. I hope we get to see the deleted scenes eventually!

    Yes Yeihei was simply to ruin the couple really….i very much detested Jimmy & YiHei.

    Speaking of which, Yee Yin didnt actually leave to England right? Just left the family?

      Thanks for visiting the site and sharing your thoughts. I wonder the same thing, it could be either way that Yee Yin left with Yat Fai for England or she just left the family. I really want more closure on Yee Yin’s going away…

    JingMui, I wrote exactly what I thought. I doubted for surprised ending every single moment of YY & A together.

    Too bad, they always ended in separation of 2 series. Pointless for Yeihei and YY’s mother.

  • From JingMui on 名媛望族 SSSS: Rants and thoughts

    Such a sad ending!!! I agree, I cried more for the part relating to Yee Yin saying good bye to the family than for Arthur. I feel like their separation words further showed that Arthur really doesn’t fully understand Yee Yin yet. I wish he didn’t give her the letter!!! Im a bigger fan of Arthur & Yee Yin although Yat Fai will treat her better. At the end of the day, Yee Yin wants someone who gives her the full heart. She mentioned so many times, thats all she really wants. She doesn’t want to have to share. Its so sad 🙁 Arthur & Yee Yin are true love but bad timing and bad fate. I sort of laughed when Arthur said “Why is it everytime we try to get back together, he shows up?”. But for that moment when they were hugging and he tugged on her — I really thought there was that chance!!!

    I hope the producer actually means for a sequel! At least have Idy film another drama again. Never thought I’d be so obsessed with Yee Yin’s role and come to like Idy, but I did! Does Idy do radio interviews anymore? For the longest time I really wanted Idy to go on Nancy Sit’s radio show, but I guess Idy is hard to make an appointment with. Hopefully Idy films another drama soon!

    Ep.36 – Did the buddies Yat Fai and Yee Yin really leave for England?
    -Arthur was shocked to see how Yee Yin punished herself to almost death
    -4 told A that not only he needs to let her go, but also needs to free her heart
    -A came to look for Yat Fai and asked him to help YY
    -YF woke her up and she asked if it’s the dream, and he calmly talked that he almost gave up too but it’s her who told him to keep go on, how big the world out there, her life at Chung’s family is part of life, she could free herself, do whatever she wanted just like her dandelions drawing.
    -A asked YF to take YY with him and YF could give her happiness, YF promised to take good care of her.
    -A gave YY the signed divorce paper:
    A “For the last 20 years, I realize that I don’t know much about flowers”
    YY said after A left the room “It’s because you never tried to get know them”
    -YY came to 1 and apologized to 1, and hope 1 understood why she has to leave the house.
    -At the last meal with the whole family, YY couldn’t hold herself and excused to everyone for her behavior. She said how she used to dislike it, but she now realized that she loved having meal with the whole family a lot, she will remember each and everyone, and wished 1 to recover soon. Everyone bid farewell to her.
    -A asked YY if they could be together again, she told him that she already asked him last time, and he said he wasn’t ready. YY said it’s their personalities that clashed and hurt each other. She always acted like a princess and did whatever she wanted. For A, he’s excel in everything and wanted everyone to please him in everything. Both declared that they have changed, but YY said it’s too late and it’s their destiny. YY told A that he gave her nice clothes, expensive jewelry all these years, but she only took the butterfly brooch with her, they embraced. YF arrived and called YY. A “Why everytime there’s a chance for us to be back together, he’d appear?” YY “I know you had nothing to do with his lost leg, I owed you an apology. This is my punishment. The timing was wrong, when you were in love with me, I thought I loved YF, but I realized that you’re my love, you’re already in love with 4. You don’t have me in your heart anymore.” (You really think you won’t love again?”) “From a start, love or not love doesn’t matter anymore. We owed him too much. He really needs someone to care for him. Even if I forced myself to stay, I don’t have a heart, I won’t be happy. I now understand the meaning of destiny. Please go back, we both need not to turn back.” (Chung family’s doors are always open for you) “Thank you”

    Sorry, it’s getting late and I had a long day so couldn’t do the dialogues. So watch the English sub or Vietnamese USLT to understand fully.

    • From sakura on 2012.10.22 "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles" 2-hour Drama Premiere

      here are what i think why the low ratings:
      -TVB sold syndication rights to other TV stations and the drama is streamed via the web, so many viewers don’t watch during the original broadcast via traditional TV sets anymore. They watch at their own time on the web or DVR playback on their computers. And these statistics don’t often counted in the ratings.
      -Too much spoilers exposed before and during the drama aired.
      -HK population is young and snob, who think that actors have to be young [everyone should be under 20 or maybe 25], good-looking, fit [everyone must be under 100 lbs.] Many are just plain shallow who target the actors themselves not their roles [Ben Wong received hate messages on his weibo blog because of his evil role on the other drama, a lot of negative messages on Idy and even Damian for being at their ages].
      -For the older viewers, they protested that there’s too many “sex” scenes in the earlier eps, yet complained when one entire “intimate” scene between Elena’s and Damian’s characters got cut
      -Overall the storyline is jumping all over the place, focus too much on certain characters, while spare others too little [screen] time on their characters’ development.
      -The dialogues are often repetitive, and quite many needless flashback scenes

      Ron seems to play the same type of character all these years, but his role is the most interesting one among these 3. At least, he’s more believable for being dumb in the drama, yet still letting the viewers know that he’s just pretending. While I like Kenneth, but his character is the most boring one, come on dude, show more emotions instead of just smiling or as if he’s shy. And I’m so tired of watching the same expression on miss Rebecca’s. Skip Skips Skipped Skipping is recommended when watching SSSS.

    The song is sung by Leon Lai [whose vocal is actually way better than Andy Lau’s] Making videos is real time-consuming and must choose songs with lyrics that fitted with the scenes. I did a couple videos a few years back, and it took me hours just to complete one video. So I’ll just leave it to the “experts”, there’s tons of fans out there that are really skilled at cutting scenes and creating videos like this. Plenty of videos with just YY and YF posted on Weibo, but most are badly cut or the songs aren’t so attractive nor fitted the story.

    Well said, Emmy 😉

    Ep.30 the family starts to fall apart, almost everyone is “expendable” to Arthur [jackass]. Yee Yin refused to eat and coming out of her room. She’s only scripting “Heart Sutra” as meditation to have some peace within herself (bế môn tịnh tâm) The maid informed her that 4 already left the house [just to drag the story as well as the story on the 5th… grrrr]

    So that’s it for week 7 with less than a minute of Idy’s screen time… sux! Though, it’s good to skip following this week’s eps… I really need the break

    You must have watched the USLT (by Vietnamese voice-over actors here in US), but this version released at a much slower rate, only 2 eps per week (i think), while 20 eps already released for FFVN (by Vietnamese in VN). Yes in both editions, the voices for Idy’s Yee Yin are softer than Idy’s real voice. Though FFVN translated YY character as 3rd madame… weird!

  • From sakura on 名媛望族 SSSS newsbits...

    Ep.28 – I only watched YY’s parts and flipped through the rest
    -It’s really moving that YY was willing to die with YF. “I’m no longer YF” (YY “Even though you lost a leg, but in my heart you’re still the same”) “Not the same at all, you’re already someone’s wife, what am I? I’m a disabled, I’m dead or alive is not your business, just go away!” (“If you really want to die, I’ll grant it, you and I will die together”) “NO, NO, I don’t want you to die with me, I only want you to be happy, don’t you know?” (“I owe you too much… please don’t die”) “OK, I promise you, no matter how difficult the road ahead, I’ll go on, please please!”
    -A called home in the morning to tell 1 that he won’t be home for breakfast [of course, he already had a huge meal last night], and no need to confine YY anymore.
    -But YY grounded herself. She just wanted to be left alone and doesn’t want to associate with anyone else anymore, or else they would be harmed just like YF.

    So A totally ignored J and 3 and they become drinking buddies… 3 was still sober enough to wonder if Muk Shui’s really dumb or just pretending. Too bad, A is just too jealous of what’s going on btw YF and YY to realize the real threat…

    No YY in Ep.29, so I’m done watching this week’s eps.

    Ep.27 – A forbid Jimmy from explaining anything, if he turned J in, his career would be ruined. So basically, A chose to be blinded and not knowing anything. He’s just a selfish jackass, while arrogantly came to YY’s room before the trial and told her, it didn’t matter to him whatever she’d said in the court, because he never loose any case. To me, he basically made YY to feel bad, while he’s protecting himself and J.

    Also when YY asked him to sign the divorce paper, he was so damn lame to say that he didn’t have the time to read it, and tore it off and said he’d sign when he’s in better mood.

    And he’s a “ridiculous” jerk when he scolded 3. 3 was asking which room he’d spent the night because she and 4 already had a deal. This is, if she had the Women’s Club backing the establishment of Anti-Slavery, 4 needed to be considerate of others by sharing A too. A went to 4 and said it’s his decision which room he’d go every night, not the wives. Poor 3.

      I was hoping to see YY and Arthur would ride horses in the earlier eps. And I expected to see YY and Yat Fai would too, but now he’s lost a leg. I also guessed that A wanted to show off, and invited everyone to ride horses, but looked like this shooting is mostly for the theme intro. Only a few other characters had the horse riding scenes as parts of the drama…

      Yup – it’s divorce paper, but selfish A wanted to keep her because he can’t have her, no one can. YY said someday he’ll have to sign it anyway. There’s no excuse for him to sleep around, but it seemed that if he’s upset with any wives he really loved, he did that. He deserves to be… castrated to become an eunuch, bring him back to the Qing Dynasty, and have Prince YH order this good deed… kakaka

    It was so sad to see YY cried so much lately. If she told the truth, then why A did not share the truth with her to make her to understand him.

    He would not turn in the culprit son anyway.

    Just not make sense the story at all.

    Next few episode, the control freak will sleep with the 5th girl….it is suck.

    I don’t know what version, but YY has very soft voice. I don’t like it ( just watched last night 1&2)

    Yup – the drama has already reached its climax. Both Yee Yin and Yat Fai are the ones who suffer most. I’ve only flipped through Ep.27 but looked like YY told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth at the court so Arthur got acquitted. Yee Hei asked YY to visit YF because he’s suicidal. YY was so distressed that YF already lost a leg, can’t loose his life too, and if YF died, A would become a murderer, so 4 came up with a plan to get YY out of the house by collecting old clothes to donate to the church. Man… this scene reminded me so much of when Princess Lan Ling tried to get inside the palace, but this time Princess YY tried to get out of that cold mansion. I really hope there’s still justice in the end that the culprit get punished.

    Has anyone watched vietnamese edition either by USLT or FFVN yet? I have seen both. I like USLT voices better, FFVN voices sound softer but so sleepy. I still prefer watching the drama in original actors’ voices, if I don’t understand anything, I can rewatch with English subtitles.. yeeha!

    For sure 26 & 27 picked up some pace. I can’t believe the whole family started to fall apart by 2nd stupid son action.

    I started to like 4 little now.

    Yeah, too many yelling and fighting between YY & A. Who the hell he thought he was that he could order her to stay in the room like that.

    Well, I wish she told the truth.

    The stupid son had sex with servant, good for him and got off to easy.
