Love Storyline (2) Gigi

Gigi(Constance) and Moses(Terrence)

Moses and Gigi’s relationship started gradually I guess. Moses felt comfortable having a friend like her because he felt she wasn’t those plotting manipulative people who only wanted to get benefits off him so eventually invites her to work for him as his secretary despite little arguments they had over Ada and his father being together. Adding to that, Lee See Kei started doing things behind the scene like she always did and tried to pair these two up. When Moses started pursuing her, Gigi couldn’t get over her past experiences and fantasies and kept pushing him away. She didn’t think he was “the one” for her and she appeared annoyed when he was trying to pursue her. She put on the attitude that he was not good enough for her which I found annoying to watch itself. She didn’t seem to really like him, but finally accepted him when he was comforting her after she found out one of the girls who she was sponsoring overseas had died in an accident.

Very shortly after they started dated though, they found out that Ada had married his father and she couldn’t be with him because of the complicated family relationships all messed up. Seeing her mother and family suffering because she didn’t know what to do. She wants her sister to find happiness, wanting her mother to accept the relationship. Gigi promises that she will break up with Moses and she could do it because their relationship was not that deep.

I don’t really like Gigi’s character in the series. Her constant fuss and making big deals out of nothing is starting to remind me a bit of Linda’s character in Moonlight Resonance. Her exaggeration and concerns seem irrelevant and bringing up little problems with could have just passed.

I’m actually quite bored with this couple and still don’t feel much. They look good together but that’s about it. Gigi’s character annoyed me so much in the series with her constant dilemmas and indecisiveness. She also put on the attitude that she was too good for him, pushing him away, saying she could handle everything, but then go back crying in his arms… I don’t like watching weak character like these..They loved each other so much? It just seemed kinda forced. How could they really love so deep? She is too naive and simple minded, wanting to elope with him…

Eventually, despite her mother’s disapproval, Gigi continued to date him.

At the spur of the moment when Moses was in depression after being humiliated and having Gigi there for him, the two of them went away and had a secret wedding..It just seemed rush and kinda selfish how she just got married. I was annoyed and just glad she’s married now. I just wanted the story to move on..

I feel like its interesting to watch her as Elise. Also, I think that the only thing interesting other than Ada's role WAS elise. So i dnt think the show was 'ruined' by her. Also, don't judge her. I mean she is jst in tvb for like 5 years. Yet she is in the same status as someone who has been in tvb for lets say 10 year? (tavia).And other people like myolie, & bernice. So i really give her props. She imporves constantly.& has her ups & downs. LMFAO watching the whole drama, I find myself looking forword to the parts when Linda Chung was in.

To me it sorta balance up the evil characters which grow like mushrooms in Gem. I am beginning to think tt pple tend to associate stubborness, evil or anything that goes the opposite/against the law/our conscience as 'cool'. God, isnt that scary.

The story is turning drastic. By the looks of where it is heading, I don't think the three sisters are going to end up happy. For Ada, her character has always been selfish and now she seems to have become corrupted too! She seems to be drugging Martin or something to take control of the entire corporation! There also seems like there no hope for Bowie and Maggie which is a shame. I would have liked to see Maggie and Sunny both raise up her and Bowie's child, but that doesn't happen either :( As for Gigi, she is determined to have a divorce with Moses and I don't see how else they can get back together...

She keeps trying to be a good person but keeps crying and crying. her relationship with Moses is so draggy. I like Maggie's character, very strong and independent woman, with her own thinking.
