You dopes, I don’t mean it in a love-love way! Definitely not! So get that thought out of your head! Hehehe...joking...
I’m going to compare the Sunny-Louis partnership to the Micheal-Joey partnership in DIF3. Frankly, I am rather disappointed in the Sunny-Louis partnership. In DIF3, TVB did stress on Micheal and Joey’s close friendship. Perhaps Sunny and Louis aren’t supposed to be close, I don’t know. But there is a vast difference between the friendship and partnership Micheal-Joey and Sunny-Louis. Micheal-Joey were protrayed as friends, always joking, jesting, going over to each other’s houses. In the case of Sunny-Louis, they didn’t give me the good buddy feeling; rather it was senior-junior kind of thing. You know, like, Sunny’s the boss and Louis’s the employee or something. If you noticed, Louis called Sunny’s character “Kong Sir” from the beginning of the show until the very end. How can you be close friends with a person you frequently refer to as your senior? Rather hard, isn’t it? Maybe the storyline was the cause of this, though. Remember, Louis had a major attitude problem in the beginning of the show. Maybe that’s why TVB scriptwriters cannot really forge a close friendship between Sunny and Louis. They did try to insert close moments, eg. Chi San and Fei in the bar in the last episode and so on, but they just didn’t quite cut it. Oh well, DIF5, perhaps? Anyhow, I definitely feel that the Micheal-Joey friendship is way better than Sunny-Louis one.
My verdict: 6 out of 10
