Hey Guys,
I'm still raw in emotions after just completing Bottled Passion :'((
Far out, such a sad ending but I will get to that later ..

The beginning of the series progressed really really well hence the praises I gave previously. BUT, towards the middle of the drama it did get really boring LOL I dunno, I just found myself skipping alot of parts. Oh, right. It was the scenes with Raymond and Elaine that was really such a bore. I get that it is his plan, but I personally think they over did it. Yeah, the whole middle chunk of the series was a tad boring.. but it was watchable all in all. Another boring scene that I wanted to note out is Jack Wu. HE is a really nice guy but really boring to watch though :/
But there was a couple of scenes where it was really good too which was the relationship with Niki and Raymond which appear throughout.

The last couple of episodes however, was really really good. The drama suddenly got back on track and the revenge started to plan out. One by one, each of Rebecca's family members paid the price of what they did to Raymond when he was young. Yeah, soon after Niki and Raymond finally gets re-united.

Ohkay so.. Raymond did die. Actually, I didn't think how Raymond died was THAT silly. It was understandable. So, yes it was unrealistic how no-one was on the street at the time since it was DAYTIME LOL but either than that his death makes sense. He got stabbed, so he tries to roam around to go to Niki but eventually found out that he cannot make it. Instead of Niki seeing him dead, he rather run away and disappear. OMFG, HOW UGH right ?! LOL Yeah, he could've survived if he offered the help of that guy but instead he told him to help Elaine. Honestly, I don't hate Elaine. It makes sense for her to kill Raymond, *sigh.. you have to pity her as well.

Raymond dying is really really sad and tragic but that's how the series works, and it did leave a very memorable ending. A very unique ending that you don't see in TVB series so I praise them for that. But, I did feel sad for Niki :'(((((( She is just so pitiful. Those two have been so much !! Although you would think the series was evolving around Raymond's revenge, however, it wasn't. The whole series was focused on Niki and Raymond from beginning to end. AND, the producers wanted this love story in the end to be a tragic one so yeah, sad :(

Anyway, there are a lot of notable mentions in this series.
First off, obviously the two leads did a great job ~ Everyone keeps saying Niki is a bad actress.. maybe before but I reckon she did a flawless job here. I adore her in here. Such a great character. Raymond .. must be his breakthrough role :)

ERIC LI !! OMGG, so cute LOL
I agree with everyone, he is awesome in here. I love his loyalty, humour and everything about him. When he came through the door crying.. telling Niki that Ray died.. that killed me inside. omg. Yeah, his bromance with Raymond was so compelling. FINALLY, TVB gave him a non-evil character. Who knew he can be such a cute character LOL So glad he had a happy ending :)

Rebecca Chan did a really good job as the villian. She has always been a great actress but this role was really well done so it brought out her acting :)

And lastly, Elaine Yiu. Her acting in here was really good :O LOL, Yeah she was really good. Uh.. all I can say is she was really good.

Oh, nothing in acting wise to praise BUT I did like them very much :) Claire and Raymond Cho haha, cute couple. Claire is so funny at times, AND Raymond is such a good brother to Niki :)

Yeah, I am done rambling. My verdict ? I love this series. Although the middle was a tad boring, I got over it and the last couple of episodes saved the drama for me. Really good drama. I'm so sad that it got aired so early, .. I don't think any of them can have a chance at the awards. :(
