Three Kingdoms RPG Finale

Just finished watching this show tonight. What I've gotta say? WHAT ENDING WAS THAT? Well, maybe it's because that it is Producer Lau Kar Ho's last time with TVB that all his show's ending are tragic.

So the finale was during the war in Chibi. Szema Shun (Kenneth Ma) had earlier suggested to Cao Cao (Law Lok-Lam) to strap planks of wood with metal chains to form a bridge to connect all ships together so that his soldiers would not get sea sick. It was actually Zhou Yu's (Ruco Chan) idea of sending someone he "ignored" to give Cao Cao that idea. He knows that on that day, it will very windy and this will help fire to spread faster. Zhou Yu sent another of his people that he beaten up as a scheme so that Cao Cao fall into Zhou Yu's trap.

Both Sun Quan (Pierre Ngo) and Cao Cao's army were at the war ground. The weather was kinda weird. Just the right weather for Szema Shun to go back to the present. It was getting windier when the wind stopped blowing. Sun Quan questioned how can this happen when Zhou Yu said that it will be windy. Zhuge Liang (Raymond Lam) was asked to help suggest a way to win the war. He too can't think of a way to help. Sun Quan remembered earlier that Zhou Yu made an oath that he will receive death as a punishment should he fail to win the war. Sun Quan was about to chop his head off when Zhuge Liang remembered that Szema Shun said last time in determination that Zhuge Liang will win the war. So, he stopped Sun Quan from killing Zhou Yu. He said that he's willing to shorten his life to borrow some wind from God.

And so, he did some rituals. Damn, if I had a camera at hand, I will so capture the moment when Zhuge Liang was doing that. I know he was faking that whole ritual thing to "borrow some wind". But he believed in Szema Shun. And yes, the wind did come and Sun Quan was so happy. Zhou Yu should finally "kow tow" to Zhuge Liang. That guy is really "CHOK"!!

And that "beaten up" guy received signal to send the said supplies to Cao Cao but in fact, he was going there to light Cao Cao's ship on fire and the bridge was to help spread the fire from one ship to another. When Cao Cao saw that the wind came back, he was angry. He was even furious to know that all his ships are on fire. Before that, Szema Shun sneakily runs off to find Song Yao (Tavia Yeung). Cao Cao became furious and wanted to punish Szema Shun and turn around to see that he's not there. Szema Shun found Song Yao and wanted to bring her back to his hometown and showed her the weird blue time travel portal that will bring them back to his hometown. Lo and behold, he bumped into Cao Cao and ordered to kill Szema Shun. Thankfully, Fan Kan (Cheung Wing Hong) came in time to save Szema Shung.

I really love the bromance between Szema Shun and Fan Kan. What a short goodbye for Szema Shung and unknowingly to Fan Kan. So, Szema Shun and Song Yao ran towards the time portal. Unfortunately, only Szema Shun can enter and not Song Yao. So sad! So, he was brought back to the present and he fainted.

When he woke up, he was in the hospital and his family was there. Szema Shun went "missing" for about two years! That's long! Szema Shun's father (Ha Yu) was glad that he's back. And his mother's catch phrase and I think most mums will say this, "Be mature, child!" His sister explained that he was in SEA's forest and couldn't receive any phone signal. Thank God, Szema Shun had his sister that believes in him.

Szema Shun and his sister went to meet the Professor who believes in time travel to ask him about a few things.

a) That time travel portal only appears again in another less than 500 years or more than 500 years.

b) The possibility of someone from the past to come to the present is slim.

c) The people from the past can come to the future if Szema Shun were to go to the place they last

    met. I think that's what the professor said. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Szema Shun thought that he would not see Song Yao again. From then on, he became a better person. His two friends who betrayed him in the 1st episode was at his dad's restaurant to apologize to him. Szema Shun came up with a new "18 ways of HK guys". A new and improved and way better than his previous one. And at that time, there was a weather news saying that there's a typhoon. So, Szema Shun went to the place he last came back from the time portal. But it was a false alarm.

A few years later, Szema Shun has 118 fast food chains. And customers can win a Three Kingdom historical figure figurine if they can say the "18 ways of HK guys" under 10 seconds. In his office room, there's a feather hand fan that Zhuge Liang has. And there's a full body portait painting of Song Yao. While eating the pork mantao burger, he was looking at the weather condition on his computer but still no typhoon.

30 years later, I think he's around his fifties or sixties, he's still waiting for a typhoon to happen. But, he got a heart problem. Suddenly, he saw a huge typhoon on his computer screen and rushed to the same place. He was so happy that he can finally meet Song Yao again. But I think because he was too happy, he got a heart attack. I'm like, where's his bloody medication? Didn't he bring it? And he's like three feet awat from the time portal. Earlier I said the ending was tragic. Szema Shun succumbed to his illness and died there. His eyes still open, which usually means that the person has some unfinish business. Just after he died, down came Song Yao from the time portal. It's kinda funny that Szema Shun always fall down from the portal but Song Yao can come down gracefully without falling.

She looked like she was gonna cry. She saw Szema Shun on the ground and walked towards him. She bent down and touched his face. I was hoping she would say Brother Wan Shun like she always do but no. She touch his face, camera zooms out and show ends just like that. Then what will happen to Song Yao? She's from the past, how is she gonna survive in the present? So many questions!! I'm not satisfied with this ending! I still prefer Witness Insecurity's ending. At least that one provided some closure for me!

Did I mentioned in the Witness Insecurity Finale's post that there were scenes of the couple together in the credits? In Three Kingdom RPG, there were those kind of scenes too when Szema Shun was about to die.

I shall silently complain about the ending.
