Intro
This series has a very strong cast especially Deric, Maggie and Gigi. From Maggie's and Gigi's performance in Heaven Sword Dragon Saber 1986 and 2000, there performance in this series was still spectacular as ever. In this series, Deric has two fathers, the one who raised him and his biological father. Unfortunately, Deric's stepfather is the leader of a mafia and his biological father is a well-respected cop. Deric is forced to side with one since a cop and a mafia leader dont stand well together. Deric also runs into trouble with the law and his girlfriend when he has to side with one of his fathers. Overall the plot is original and quite entertaining.
What about the cast
Deric portrayed his character very well. Although he lacked chemistry with Maggie and Gigi, his acting skill is still considered good. The story towards the middle of the series did happen to degrade Derics character because it dragged on too long. Maggie also did a great job, although the ending was typical of this type of series. Maggie's character had more trouble than Deric did because of her involvement with him. Too bad for her. Gigi was good in this series also. Her chemistry with Deric was average since Deric didn't seem to match with anyone. Her character had many flaws and one was that she cared for Deric too much. On the other hand, Deric's feelings were not as strong as hers causing Gigi to lose it all.
