Review:
Tiger Cubs was brilliant and amazing making it one of the best tvb drama in recent years. However, it's sequel was no match for it's prequel. Everything was not up to par including the setting and acting. The guest stars were much better and memorable, but where is Kenneth Ma as promised?
Joe Ma - Chin Hon To
Reprising the same role, I was expecting the same acting chops he delivered in the prequel or even better, however he just seems incapable to lead and had zero chemistry with Linda.
Linda Chung - Chung Wai Yan
If you follow me enough, you will know that i'm a die hard Linda fan. Honestly, her acting in this drama was over the top and terrible. Those popping eyes, clenched jaw scenes appeared in every other episode, which annoyed me to no end.
Oscar Leung - Chung Chok Yuen
Oscar you can act, but stop winking so hard! Ah Yuen and Wai Wai is cute but has less screentime.
Him Law as Yu Hok Lai
His acting was alright, but his character is seriously frustrating and immature. Too rash and stubborn, I literally skimmed through all his argument scenes with Chin Sir.
Mandy Wong as So Man Keung
Ah Keung was weak, and emotional. Nothing much on the acting, as she always delivers. She looks quite pale and haggard here in comparison to all her other dramas.
The Guest Stars
Jade Leung, Johnson Li, Nancy Wu, Pal Sinn and Koo Ming Wah were all good and did what was required. Thanking them here for making this drama slightly better.
What is Tiger Cubs 2 trying to prove? Prove that Linda can be a tough madam? or a 2 ep 1 case drama can beat it's prequel? No. Tvb just proved that they can't make sequels, as evident in The Hippocratic Crush 2, Ghetto Justice 2 and Come On, Cousin which was not as bad as this.
Ratings: 1.5/5
