Life on the Line (2018)

Mediocre show but to be fair its one of the best from 2018

My previous review of TVBs 伙计办大事 was quite long in my opinion but that was mainly because it was so memorable to me and I wanted to silence the haters.

With Joe Ma being one of my top favourite TVB Actors, I had to put this show in my second review ever. This review will be shorter as I did not really like the show too much.

Lets start with the plot:
Mediocre to say the least. The starting wasn’t the brightest and the ending wasn’t good; it just felt so unrealistic when the girl magically came back to life after being pronounced dead. To add on, I felt that the main story was boring. The only plus point about the plot was that they actually focussed on medical stuff and the relationships second.

Acting:
Joe Ma and Matthew Ho were quite good. I also enjoyed the cameo from Ali Lee.

Songs:
The theme song is fine but I can’t even recall the sub theme even after recently watching it.

Rewatch:
Maybe. I don’t think it was that bad of a drama and if I had the chance I probably would try to do a rewatch just to confirm my score.

In conclusion, I can see why it won the awards for best drama (because all the other shows from 2018 were terrible). Joe Ma really showed why he is one of the top actors with that performance and it set the stage for Matthew Ho’s rise in his career.
