The Queen (2013)

Story: The drama had potential to become something great with the storyline, but it just did not deliver well. I think the concept about a struggling model trying to make it big could have been interesting if they had the focus right. It started off great, but somewhere along the way I just lost all interest in it.

Acting/Cast: The acting was superb! I originally wanted to watch this because Janel and Johnny were in it. I absolutely loved them in the drama "In Between" and was happy to see them together in something else. I did not like the acting of Eric, it could be because he is from Hong Kong and him speaking mandarin did not help his acting which was rather disappointing - it is weird that they did not dub him. Cheryl was great as usual. The best would be Nita, her portrayal of her character was brilliant - so good that I absolutely hated her character like no other. I could not stand seeing her on screen - she was that good!

Music: I believe the opening song was sung by Eric, and like his speech in mandarin, I could not enjoy him singing in mandarin. Nothing against him, I've seen him in TVB dramas and he's acting was great when he's speaking cantonese.

Rewatch Value: This is one I will not be rewatching ever.

Overall: It's probably not as bad as I make it out to be. I guess the problem is that overtime the story changed. Instead of focusing on the dream of Cheryl to become a superstar model, it was more on the issue with Eric and his business and lies.
