Review: a chip of the old block

finally finished this today and have to say, it had one of the weirdest concepts i've ever seen on tvb... like i explained before it story starts of with ron from 2008 and then he gets trapped in an escalator during a wild storm. when he comes out he is in the 1960s when his father was still young and the story goes on from there. so the 3 generations are mixed together to develop a closer more friendly relationship than the one from 2008. Ron's character, chor chi, did not understand his dad and granddad back in 2008 thinking they're all outdated and stuff. but as he goes back into 1960s he developed a closer relationship with them, understanding them more then ever. at the same time he find his own love =]. he also found out why in 2008, his dad has a big disapproval with Ron's following his boss (or something). When he found out when the next time capsule will go back to 2008 (a random scene where it portrays the opening scene from terminator 2: judgement day), he has the dilemma to either stay for his love or go back to 2008. but before this could happen a dramatic situation arises where his friends and family gets into heavy debt after they were conned in their investments by Ron's boss in 2008 (he was also a rich man back in the 1960s)...

on a quest to save them Ron accidentally returns back to 2008 on a day of his granddads death date and the day where he traveled back time... okay this is where the weird ending begins and probably going to be hard to explain.

Ron traveled back to 2008 but still wanted to find evidence to get back on his boss that once conned his friends. however, he boss knows about the 2008 Ron and 1960 Ron. So he kidnaps the 1960 Ron so the 2008 Ron can go back into the time capsule again. but this time the 1960 Ron knows what he has done in the past that made his dad have just hatred towards him. so when he was released he set up a trap in order to get his Boss to confess about his dirty works back in 1960. The people Ron met back from the house ultimately appears again in 2008 obviously with everyone aged besides Ron's love that happened to have traveled through time to 2006 not long after Ron traveled back to 2008! what looked like a happy ending with the revenge back on Ron's Boss and seeing everyone united again. TILL.. Ron's dad see his love and he decided to go to a place in USA with Ron in order to see his love. they get into an escalator and a similar scene of the time travel reoccurs. a sign said something but i could not understand...

OKAY OKAY a lot of you probably just said WHAT THE HELL WAS I GOING ON? i know... i am really bad at explaining things but that's how it looked okay? it is one of the weirdest concept i have seen and i always wanted tvb to go for a chance but this chance is really really new... it's almost like the script writers were on drugs when they wrote this! but it does carry a message in the middle about the father and son relationship =]. if you're not a storyline person then it should not be so bad because the drama contains quite a lot of humour to make you laugh =]. but i will give it an average as overall =]
