Hooked On You

Happened to catch Hooked On You - and given that we'd no idea whatsoever about the movie when we walked in we must say that overall the show does sting a bit.



So it's about hardworking gal Miu works day and night selling fish and fish congee to help pay off her father's debts, all the while setting her sights on making it out of the wet market before she hits 30 and finding the ideal husband.

Only, at the market she goes head on with the other fishmonger - who like most marketfolks, are known by their goods - Yu Lou/Fishman. Typical - start off by fighting and next thing you know it they'll be chumming it off. But how will that fare with Miu's ambition? Sort of a sign, that Miu isn't called Yu Por or something along the lines while every one else in the market is either Zhu Yoke (Pork), Choy (Veggie) or summat. One thing that bugged us slightly was, just how rich was Yu Lou actually because he seemed to be throwing money around.

However, the main question here would be: just how picky are you when it comes to looking for a partner? Given that if you met Mr/Ms Mediocre but whom you're comfortable with as an old shoe, will you still hold back, looking for that Gucci wallet (but one that looks like a Prada). Just how much can you give and take, or must all requirements be met, no compromise?

And the end of the show does make one ponder: and at the end of the day, are you happy with your choices? Well, just to say that it was an ending we were expecting as the story developed but we won't profess to like it. But overall a much better watch than Alone thankfully.

Right now, we're fighting the Dementors in our head and losing.
