TVB new series When Heaven Burns (WHB) premiered last night. Although WHB is known as the most recommended series of the year, the premiere ratings were not all that surprising. WHB takes over the strong momentum left by Forensic Heroes III, which ended off with an average of 33 points last week, but last night, WHB premiered with only 29 points, peaking at 30 points. The result was surely a lost. However, Netizens have been commenting on the series and so far majority of it has been positive. It looks like WHB will have to count on public response to lift the tide up. Yesterday the Broadcasting Authority received 5 complaints regarding the showering scene in WHB, of a man and woman (Tsui Wing and Charmaine), was disturbing and makes people want to vomit; The illegal behavior of eavesdropping in on a phone call should not be broadcast; There are also people displeased by the cannibalism theme, the story is terrifying and disturbing.
In WHB, the starting scene was Charmaine Sheh and her love affair Tsui Wing's bed scene. Charmaine rolled out of bed and onto the floor looking for her ring. She revealed her entire extremely bony back on-screen, while Tsui Wing is seen naked in the background showering in a frosted-glass shower stall. The two also had an intense and passionate kiss scene on the streets. Charmaine's fans praised their idol for really giving it all she got for acting. Some Fans even told Charmaine to not catch a cold and praised she's very pretty. Lead actor Moses was praised to be extremely hot when he was kicking and punching Bowie Lam's car window until it broke.
Netizens enjoys the series because it has a movie-feel. It is rare that TVB has this type of series, and it should be part of the TVB Anniversary Awards nominations. However, there was a time machine that appeared in the series, some Netizens said they didn't know what the story was trying to convey.
