Jessica's image overrides Charmaine's in the last lap of The Drive of Life

Jessica may achieve the title of "Queen of Television" with her fine acting caliber.
Drive of Life is nearing its finale and the last 10 episodes are going to be aired in the mid-Sept. The several female casts in the show are eye-catching in terms of their acting and characters. Now, the reporters discovered somebody outstanding- Jessica. Previously, many viewers felt that the character Wah Ching Yuk was too simple and need not Jessica to play the role. This impression was altered gradually was the plot gets more complicated for Wah nearing the end of the show. TVB Anniversary is nearing and it would strike another heated war among female leads. Would Jessica receive the award with the name of an "outsider"?

Wah’s performance was the most brilliant in the last episode
In the premiering of the show, many concentrated on Charmaine and was disappointed with Jessica as her role need little acting experience. Wah was a cowardly and pathetic woman, who would be in accordance to her father’s arrangements while putting aside her own dreams; she would cry and beg to retain her lover; when she knew that her husband was trying to harm her family, she kept deceiving herself that he would change for the better. Nobody would thought that this role was taken up by Jessica who had a reputation for her professional image.

Although the character was far from Jessica, many felt that her interpretation of the role was realistic and led the audience into “grieving over her misfortune and enraged over her weakness.” Jessica’s superiority over other female actress are seen clearly as Wah might be portrayed as a “cry baby” if others were take up the role.

The last 10 episodes featured Joe revealing his wild ambitions to take over the fortunes of Wah Family. Wah Ching Yuk would then be sandwiched between her father and her husband. The whole conflict of the remaining plot was centered about Joe and Jessica. Wah Ching Yuk would plead her father to give Ngai Wing Piew a chance while Ngai attempted murder on his pregnant spouse. Many viewers felt that Jessica had the airs of the female lead in the show after finish watching the show.

The New Television King and Queen surfaced
After broadcasting The Drive of Life and Steps (舞动全城), TVB would air 2 celebratory shows – Men don’t Cry (奸人坚) led by Dayo Wong and The Ultimate Crime Fighter led by Moses. Shows that include Dayo Wong usually guarantees some viewers and it is no wonder he was asked to participate in the important show of the year. Moses’ participation in The Ultimate Crime Fighter was meant to promote him. As for the award for the best actor, it would be the fight between Raymond and Moses. Kelvin Ching commented that Moses had a high chance of winning the title as his performance in The Ultimate Crime Fighter was very thrilling and he might receive the award upon high viewership ratings for the show. Actually, Kelvin also contributed to the making of The Ultimate Crime Fighter but had less scenes that Moses.

Yoyo Mung and Jessica are the main pursuers of the female lead award
Most eye-catching show: Heart of Greed, Drive of Life
Most Popular show: The Family Link, Forensic Heroes
According to the information above and after removing Gigi and Cecilia Yip who are participating in the TVB Anniversary celebratory show, there were not many candidates to choose from. People familiar with the rules of TVB knew that those awarded the title are artistes with managerial contract and TVB would only grant them to non TVB artistes if they could gain some advantages from it, for example, Gigi's case.

No matter how well The Heart of Greed is, the title would not fall on the lead, Sze Kai, nor the supporting actress, Suzanna Kuan. Sheren Tang had great performance in The Family Link and Drive of Life. TVB would have presented the award to her if they had the conscience, something which TVB lack. When the potential winners are eliminated, the candidates left are Yoyo Mung (representing The Forensic Heroes and Fathers and Sons), Linda Chung (representing Heart of Greed), Myolie and Jessica. It was unlikely that Myolie and Linda would receive the title as they are still inexperience but they are likely to be in the top 5 given the effort TVB spent on promoting them. Hence, the title would be fight between Yoyo Mung and Jessica.

Although Yoyo had spent a long time in TVB, she did not gained much attention as she kept a low profile. She did not have very fantastic results this year but gained popularity due to Ekin and Bobby. She gained fame and received more advertisements after dating with Ekin and consolidated her position after working with Bobby.

Jessica’s superior acting skills in the Dicey Business and the Drive of Life displayed her talents in the profession. If the game is fair, the title would be a competition between Sheren and Jessica to choose the winner with better acting skills. However, the game is not that simple and Sheren had little chance of winning while Jessica would not receive the award based on her professionalism.

TVB may use the title to retain Jessica in TVB
Previously, ties between Jessica and TVB were tensed as news on Jessica jumping to ATV was leaked out. Jessica also demonstrated that she was on good terms with ATV by promoting Healing Souls in Shanghai. Jessica had been loyal to TVB and even persuaded other artistes to remain in TVB by stating that a big tree is a good shade. Do not leave the company as the world out there is big and unknown. Now, Jessica had per series contract with TVB and commented that the staff that she worked with previously had left the company. As she could not work together with the new management, she preferred to leave TVB. However, at this stage of time, TVB needs talents like Jessica and the title of Television Queen may be a good method for her to feel appreciated and remain in TVB.

Judging the following circumstances, Jessica was the pre-announced winner in the competition between Yoyo Mung and her. However, according to the style of the manager, Chen Zhi Yun (陈志云), the winner of the title would be a surprise for many. Hence, the winner of the award is still undetermined.
