Waynes really good in this so far whats with Anthony voice in this is this Shanghainese accent so far so good living up to series of the year
so far so good, funny of the 4 award presentation dramas, so far this one starts out the best, kinda sad tbh, and just my opinion probably the best storyline among the 4 as well
i wouldnt trust my kids around him. hes a blatant pervert with pot hole skin. the look of his face too makes it more creepy
to represent anthony wong's character. voice doesn't change. there is no way kenneth was able to emulate anthony's voice.
Lord Of Shanghai Ratings Episode 1 to 5 = 25 (-1, peaking at 27) Episode 6 = 18 (-3) Episode 7 to 11 = 26 (+1, peaking at 28) Episode 12 = 19 (+1) Episode 13 = 22 (-1)
I enjoyed Kenneth's part of the drama. I probably would have preferred him through the entire drama instead of Anthony but I would have never thought he could pull off a role like that to begin with.
was going to say the flashback parts is the best of the series.....builds the characters up nicely....how ant and wayne became friends
I think this is one of the best when compared to the other Hiu Hung trilogy. The first one by Wayne was what shot him to fame, the 2nd one was meh in my opinion. In this series, the 3 lords was portrayed perfectly to the point where I don't see those roles interchangeable by either of the 3 actors. I felt they started out strong and ended it strong as well.
