Positive reaction for "Slow Boat Home"

After the failure of Wayne Lai's "Bullet Brain", it seems that the new drama taking over the time slot may have the chance to become the next big breakout drama this season.

As reported on Jayne Stars, Leung Choi Yuen's "Slow Boat Home" may have only aired two of its episodes, but the reception was nothing less than impressive, with viewers praising the drama for its youthfulness and positivity.

"Slow Boat Home" is a romantic comedy drama that takes place in Cheung Chau. Actor Raymond Wong plays the leading role, a 28-year-old seemingly hopeless freeloader named Cheung Po Tsai who always causes trouble for his father.

Cheung Po Tsai is also friends with city doctor, Fit Wing (Ruco Chan), and the local mailman, Shuttle (Matt Yeung), and together they are known as the 'Cheung Chau jewels'. However, Cheung Po Tsai's life gets an immediate twist when Fit Wing's high school sweetheart, Heidi (Selena Li), returns to Cheung Chau to work on a mysterious business project.

In addition to the series' change from TVB's darker dramas recently, viewers were also full of praises for the casting, and complimented Raymond, Ruco, and Matt for giving a realistic performance.

The 25-episode drama also stars Aimee Chan, Elaine Yiu, Elliot Ngok, Ram Chiang, Oceane Zhu and Cheung Kwok Keung.

Ruco Chan & Elaine Yiu Enjoys Traveling Taiwan

Earlier Ruco Chan went to Taiwan to shoot a travel special with Elaine Yiu, Priscilla Wong and Jason Chan. He said: "Actually I enjoy traveling and eating around too. I hope to have this opportunity soon, but it's strange, many people like traveling to Europe. I actually like to go back to China, I think there are many beautiful places there. I hope we'll have a chance to film in a place where there aren't that many people around."

When speaking of Taiwanese girls are very gentle. Did he meet someone there? Ruco laughed: "I have a Taiwanese girl right next to me, Elaine! We had a tight schedule this time, so didn't get the chance to walk around." When speaking of his new series Slow Boat Home starts out with a good rating? He happily expressed everyone's hard work paid off. "I hope we can get a sequel. (Celebration?) If the rating increases by 1 point each week, we must celebrate!" Many artists have intentions to move up north for work? Ruco thinks differently: "I did get a few offers to shoot Mainland series, but I hope to shoot more HK series. Money is not the most important, I want to do my best on my own part first."
