It took a little time, but I did warm up to Sammul’s character. He was willing to accept the consequences of his past doings no matter how much he would have to sacrifice in order to redeem himself. I don’t think he was very convincing at being flaky and materialistic at the beginning because I always felt from early on that deep down the character he plays is good, loyal, etc.

Kenneth Ma seems to look better without wearing period costumes. His character is such a good guy that one has to like it but somehow it is not too memorable except for his devotion to his “Ms Lam” and his (..almost) unwavering support for justice/the truth.

The chemistry of the group of 4 is such that it leaves Ron Ng being a muscle man. They don’t show him in much of a romantic relationship until the end when he might have finally spoken about his interest in Ms Ling, had he been given the chance. Minimal air time for his living relatives. The series doesn’t exactly showcase him being a problem solver either. The character is likeable but the character isn’t particularly special.

Certainly the group of 4 is much more interesting than each of the 4. It took me a long time to like Ms Lam. So impetuous/impulsive at the beginning. I can’t help thinking that she chose a particularly silly weapon (whip?) for a girl as she often ends up in a pulling match during her fights with male opponents. Her strong male opponents are much grander in stature than herself. How can a much smaller girl win a pulling match in such situations? Think also how there were only a few females who knew martial arts in that series, so her opponents would be predominantly men. And science tells us men are more muscular than women. So why would she pick such a weapon? So she would have a high chance of losing?

A pity that none of the 4 men seemed to end up living happily ever after with their significant other.

The Four was really good. The thing I got pissed at is the way none of the couples get together in the end… awww….

I don’t like Raymond’s character.. his arrogance is getting on my nerves but more because of his silly blind love for Kate that makes me annoyed by him so much! I can’t feel for his character much…

Kenneth- actually comes out as my favourite..although boring most of the time at first, his love for his sister and brother shines through. We see the calm, righteous hero.. but when he is confronted by the ugly truth and becomes under pressure, he loses his equilibrium and we suddenly see a fully-rounded and well developed character being unfolded. Sometimes boring, especially the beginning, but hey, still better than the other 3.

Samuel and Ron start fading in the background towards the end. I don’t mind Ron as much anymore since his “coolness” has been toned down so it doens’t feel like he’s just there wanting to grab my attention- like in the earlier episodes. I’m liking his character more ever since he redeemed himself saving the Prince. But too bad, they wasted his character by not giving him much role.

Thoughts on Samuel remain mostly the same though.

a) Raymond’s still arrogant, but in a tolerable manner. xD It’s funny how he’s so pissy that he has to work with a “jokester” and a cold-blooded “creature”.
b) Kenneth is still nice. It’s funny how he’s so protective of his little sister. x)
c) Sammul is such a flirt! :O
d) Ron is cool. I’m not up to the stage where his interesting character background fades into non-existence and he simply begins to stand there and look cool yet, so yeah. x)

Nope, I don’t have a favourite. But man, I love watching them work together.

Haven’t even finished the first episode, so I can’t say that I can pick a favourite character.

But…

- I don’t like Raymond’s arrogance. e_e
- Kenneth’s character’s so likeable! That honesty and all. Yup, as you said, hero-type. <3
- Sammul’s character is LOL-making! <3

Ron’s character hasn’t been shown yet.
