When Heaven Burns Finale

Sorry for the late update. Just watched the last episode yesterday! And I gotta admit, the ending was kinda weird.

First, the rock gig that was cancelled due to some health issues had to be on as there were many people who didn't know about the cancellation. Sung Yi Long aka Hak Chai (Moses Chan) rented the music equipments for the concert. While everyone was unpacking the stuffs on stage, Joe Lau Chun Hung aka Gu Lo (Bowie Lam) started playing on the drums. So, Hak Chai and Ronnie (Kenny Wong) join in on the guitar and bass respectively. They were join by Thomas' band. From Yip Chi Yan aka Yan's (Charmaine Sheh) perspective, they reminded her of when they were young. Dr. Dylan came to see the gig and he remembered the band even thought they didn't look the same anymore, just one band member short. Yan said they were still the same.

Lui Yiu Ban was caught by the police. Gu Lo realised his wrongdoings and stopped. Gu Lo who was driving on a road, saw a little boy running in the middle of the road and a big lorry was moving towards him. Gu Lo came out of his car and push the boy aside, unfortunately getting hit by the lorry and rolled down a few flight of stairs before knocking his head on a metal baluster. Before he died, he manage to take out a box containing a necklace he bought for his wife for their anniversary. 

Ronnie was at home cooking with his wife, Shirley (Angela Tong) when suddenly Ronnie cut a part of his skin on a finger. He said that they were talking so long till they didn't realised it was already dark even though the surrounding was still bright enough. He asked his wife to turn on the lights. That was when Shirley realised her husband was gonna be blind and hugged him. And we could see his vision gradually becomes dim till its black. 

Hak Chai must be the lucky among the three of them as he haven't receive his lesson. The apartment unit he bought, he rented it out to a group of youngsters who were just like them when they formed a band last time, 4 boys and 1 girl. Gina was informed of Gu Lo's death. At the hospital, the little boy that Gu Lo saved and his parents came to say sorry about Gu Lo's death. And what do you know? The little boy's name is none other than Ka Ming! Like he came down to earth to take revenge on his friends who eaten him.

As for Yan, she was on her way to the airport to fly to London when the taxi she boarded broke down. So she walked to get on a bus. As she was walking, she remembered the day she met up with Ka Ming. She didn't want him to go to Tianshan with their friends. She was kinda threatening him that if he go, she won't bother him. So, she turned back and walk. Ka Ming kept on calling her. The then Yan "told" the past Yan to turn around. Ka Ming finally said that he won't go there anymore. Yan really turned back to Ka Ming.

Then they showed what will happen if Yan actually turn and go back to Ka Ming. Gu Lo wouldn't have died. He would live a normal life with Gina and working as an accountant. He isn't involved with the workers support group. Cloris would be alive. Ronnie didn't go to Canada. He will live a rich life with Shirley and their two children. Hak Chai will get a decent job. He wouldn't even know who is Jessica and Emma even though he bumped into them. As for Yan, she was still with Ka Ming. Gu Lo, Hak Chai and Ronnie gathered at a building's rooftop playing the drums and guitars and bass. Yan and Ka Ming arrived last.

Then flashback to the present where Yan was at the same place the four guys were 18 years ago in 1992. Different choices end in different results. If only Yan turned back to Ka Ming.

So, what was your take on When Heaven Burns? Surprisingly, they used the same actor for Ka Ming if he were still alive. Just a few touch of white hair and stubble to make him look old even though he still look abit young. The director should have chose another actor for the older version of Ka Ming. Maybe a brief cameo of Kevin Cheng or Nick Cheung. What's your suggestion? I can't think of another better actor.
