War Of The Genders

Veteran actress Dodo Cheng Yu Ling and comedy star Dayo Wong Chi Wah, famous for his humorous talk shows, join forces in making a series produced by the TVB .

The show surrounds itself in a law firm, a unit in the Ultimate Apartments and two main distinct characters form the groundwork for the plot development. To sum it up, it centres on a lawyer, Frances Mo and her paralegal advisor, Yu Letian, how they constantly bicker with each other by jetting out shots of sarcastic yet hilariously thrilling remarks. A very ordinary storyline it seems, but the producers have ingeniously managed to make this serial unique by the penning of eloquent and witty lines, hence resulting in amazingly entertaining dialogues by the artistes. Coupled with the near flawless performances by the casts, the end product is a remarkable comedy with no dull moments at all.

Dayo Wong Chi Wah plays his role flawlessly as the male lead, Yu Letian, a funny, quick-witted, articulate legal executive who has no qualms about goggling at pretty girls and watching rated shows. One can't help to like this seemingly disgusting and perverted fellow. Of course, credit goes to Dayo for his brilliant portrayal in making this character so funny and realistic. His expressions and actions always either leave me laughing or grinning even though a few times, slightly appalled. He has a buddy in the form of a cockroach called Xiaoqiang. Xiaoqiang is like his Achilles heel, as it is always when something happens to Xiaoqiang, that we get to see the emotional side of him.

Renowned and accomplished celebrity Dodo Cheng Yuk Ling plays the female lead, Miss Mo, a bossy, unreasonable, razor-sharp but capable, acute and independent lawyer to perfection too. She proves once again of her versatility in acting in her convincing portrayal of the domineering and self-opinionated Miss Mo.

Throughout the drama, we have quite a number of trivial and funny law cases and one would definitely notice one baffling fact, that is the opponent of Miss Mo is always the same person -- Alex Pao. The success of a drama, apparently, depends on a collective effort and not merely the main leads. Everyone, to a different extent, has contributed to making this drama such a delight to watch. Yuen King Tan simply possesses the talent for comical roles. Every gesture of hers is so natural and she really brings life to her character. As for Cheung Chi Kwong, his character is James, an effeminate but loyal lawyer who is also the 'good sister' of Miss Mo.

An interesting observation to note though, is that the last scene with Dodo and Dayo in the Gents is a bit parallel to the first scene where they first met with a misunderstanding in the same location too. The only difference is that, their relationship has changed.
