[TVB-A] The Prince's Shadow

[sweet_angel]

Year: 2005
Episode 20
Cast: Adam Cheng, Sheren Tang Sui Man, Tavia Yeung, Macro Ngai, Joyce Tang

Sheren Tang: So Sam (Sam Goo Leung, Lady Sam), the owner of Man Fa Lao, a high class brothel where the ladies do not sell their bodies, only their skills.

Marco Ngai: The emperor Qian Long. He is skilled in martial arts. He relies heavily on his "advisor", Ko Sing, to solve many of his problems. He also likes women (yeah, he's a pervert).

Tavia Yeung: Yue Yi. A previous servant in the palace. She is loyal and righteous. The king, Qian Long, saw her once and is mesmerized by her beauty.

Joyce Tang: The empress. She is cunning but her morals are intact. At first, we view her as a heartless woman, but as the series progresses, we see that she's not as bad as she seems.

Carlo Ng: Chow Yat Ting. A very high-ranking soldier with a prestigious title, but in fact, he is very timid. He is good friends with Ko Sing.

Cheng Chi Kwong: The head official of Yeung Chow, where Tavia later flees, and where much of this series take place. He is a cowardly official.


Plot Outline:

It is Qian Long's (Marco Ngai) reign. Thanks to his advisor, Ko Sing (Adam Cheng), the land is peaceful. He has many wives, but he is not satisfied. He isn't satisfied because he keeps on sleeping with the same women over and over again. The empress (Joyce Tang) arranges this because she does not want him to sleep with "unworthy" women. Unworthy women, meaning concubines that originated from the lower class. Every night she arranges with her eunuch servant to produce boards with names of women she judges "worthy" of sleeping with the emperor.

Marco was very funny in this series but didn't like him in the end. The serie was too short.

Shereen's chemistry with Adam was great but odd when paired up with Tavia.

Quiet an interesting series.
Always like Sheren Tang acting. She really good in it. Pair her with Adam was good but Tavia looks too young for Adam and really wonder how she falls for him at the first place. =) But good acting thou. Don't like the kind character. hmmm.
