Currently I am watching TVB Three Kingdom RPG and I absolutely love watching the scenes between Chu Kot Leung (Raymond Lam) and his wife Wong Yuet Ying (Kaki Leung). They are so lovely and sweet together.
Yuet Ying is a very thoughtful wife. Before CKL went to Xinye to help Lau Bei out, there was one night he woke up and realize Yuet Ying was missing. He went to the study finding her coughing and translating manuals for him. She told him that he is leaving in a couple of days so she want to finish translating. She tries to act okay and happy that she will be staying behind at her parent's place so he can go and do his business and not worried about her. Touched, CKL told her that he never intend to leave her behind. Only with her with him, he can really have no burden. He want to share everything with her.
I know they just got married recently and they were arranged, but I can sense their simple understanding and love for each other.
After they got to Xinye and lived at Lau Bei's house, one night CKL stayed up reading. Yuet Ying, knowing he is busy, came in with food and tea. Putting it on the table, she was going to leave but CKL stop her and told her that let's drink tea and eat together. Yuet Ying then said you don't have to worry about me. CKL did the following which I thought was kind of sweet but he fail horribly with his sweet talking.
CKL (grabbing her hands): Nothing is too busy for me |
CKL: I am Mr. WuLong |
CKL: One eye see 10 columns, walk on sea faster than horse WYY: Huh (LOL) |
Yuet Ying is not a beauty (I don't think Kaki is ugly. She just have a normal looks but with make up and when she smiles she is kind of cute) but she is really smart. Her intelligence almost equal CKL. She is really the woman that is behind a successful man. One night CKL was trying to figure out what kind formation to train the new 3,000 soldiers in. Yuet Ying came in with tea and was able to name the three formations he had on the table. He commented that she knows so much. Yuet Ying knowing that for a woman she shouldn't said so much was going to leave but...
CKL: Don't leave, I actually want you to help me |
CKL (grabbing her hand): With wife here with me |
CKL: I am in a military strategize mood (Author's Note: I dont know how to translate this line so bear with me) |
WYY: (lovingly smile at him) |
At the inn, she got worse but she still want to go back to the general's home because she want to get first hand news of her husband.
After CKL came back from war, he found out Yuet Ying got sick. He took the time to take care of her - making her medicine and feeding her.
Yuet Ying apologize for not telling him for she know that first time leading an army is very important to him but he told her that she is just as important. His heart ache knowing she was this sick when he was at battle. Touched by his words, she lean on his shoulder.
Nothing seal my love for this couple more than when stupid Wan Shun decide to find CKL a second wife. Yuet Ying knowing this decide to leave. Not only did she leave, in her letter she gives CKL permission to divorce her! Can this woman be any more selfless!? It was such a touching letter because she sound like she is not sad but with the flashback you can see she was very sad but she knows this is the best and Ms. Mei Yok is better for her husband than she is. Thanks to that Wan Shun shouting that she is not pretty and good enough for her husband on the night of her wedding. Poor Yuet Ying. I think her beauty come from within - caring, kind and selfless at least CKL see that
While Yuet Ying was gone, you see scenes of CKL missing her. Seeing her everywhere in his house.
He see yellow flowers and remember something and went straight to Wulong Village. After entering his house, he is certain his wife was there. He went to the field and found her.
Yuet Ying tell him not to come near her and CKL went and grab her hands and said one of the most moving speech I ever hear Raymond act out. Okie slight bias =)
CKL: You said you don't deserve me but it is the reverse. I don't deserve you. You are the kindest
person I ever met, always thinking of others. In this world, no one is good enough for you. I am
fortunate to be your husband. I was careless taking care of you. On the contrary you did so
much for me
WYY(crying): I..I didn't do anything
CKL: I stayed up late at night reading, you stay up with me making me tea. Telling me what you read
so that I can relax. Night and day you translate manual. You come up with the formation to help
me in battle. The first time I lead an army at Bok Mong City, in order for me not to worry, while
being very sick you rather hide than tell me
WYY (crying):...
CKL: Wife, I can't live without you.
WYY (shocked):...
CKL: Do you know how my days are like while you are in Wulong Village? I have no direction no
support. As long as you can come back to me, whatever position, whatever fame, whatever
country affairs. Nothing matters.
Touched by his words, they reconcile and hug. I was already crying very badly in this scene. Terrific acting!
No screencap can do this scene justice. You have to watch it to experience the love and emotions of both Raymond and Kaki and their love.
I am looking forward to more of their scenes. I just hope Yuet Ying won't die.
Hi, thanks for stopping by my review! I'm from http://therearethreehahahas.blogspot.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could bash this series, I like the main actors and actresses too much :)
I really enjoyed watching Raymond and Kaki in the series, so I really liked this post!
Thanks Yian for stopping by
DeleteI am so happy to find another fan that like Raymond and Kaki and I do love your review. I read too many negative ones so good to come to a review that is a little bit more positive.

ReplyDeleteI'd say the story was there for a sweet relationship, but I don't feel for Raymond and Kaki. And the fact that Mrs. Zhuge was so smart made Zhuge Liang look stupid in the series, so I didn't like that part either. For my full thoughts, I have a review on my blog.
