Overview of The Hippocratic Crush II

Synopsis

Facing dying patients, Fan Tze Yu (Tavia Yeung) is pregnant despite having a life-threatening disease herself. Cheung Yat Kin (Kenneth Ma) remains stubborn and takes everything upon himself. It's so heavy he has difficulty breathing and because of this, the couple meets conflict of interest and disagreements. Tze Yu's disease comes back again costing her a miscarriage and forced her to give up her job as a surgeon. All of this made Yat Kin suffer the greatest impact of his life.

Tze Yu wanted Yat Kin to understand that he needs to give up his stubbornness and live under the true essence of life. She firmly switches to a different department and learns all over again. This was something Yat Kin could not accept at all, but watching Onion (Him Law), Mei Suet (Mandy Wong) and Jing Jing (Candy Chang) growing day by day, each assuming the responsibilities of a doctor and with Tze Yu's enlightenment and encouragement, Yat Kin finally understands a doctor is just like a warrior, must know his own capabilities and safeguard his own job in order to be able to protect the lives of others.

TVB Anniversary Awards' Recipients 2012

Best Actor - Kenneth Ma

Kenneth Ma is TVB's most prominent lead actor this year which contributed from his doctor role as Dr. Cheung Yat-Kin in The Hippocratic Crush.

The Hippocratic Crush is the highest rated drama in the first half of this year. The drama’s ratings averaged 31 points and peaked at 39 points. This led Kenneth to be nominated as TVB King of the year.

Best Actress - Charmaine Sheh

TVB actress Charmaine Sheh won the public's hearts with her outstanding performance in When Heaven Burns. She is currently leading the "Best Actress" scoreboard ahead of hot favourites Kate Tsui and Tavia Yeung by a wide margin.

Charmaine Sheh believes that she has been nominated for TVB's Best Actress due to her work and nothing political.

Best Supporting Actor - Oscar Leung

Oscar, who portrayed an eunuch character in The Confidant, boosted his confidence in winning an award at the TVB Anniversary Awards this year. He was nominated for two awards - Best Supporting Actor for his role as Kwan Yi Gor in L'Escargot and Most Improved Actor award. It was his hope to win the Most Improved Actor Award.

However, he only managed to win the Best Supporting Actor of the year. All in all, he credited the support of his friends for his progress and achievements today.

Best Supporting Actress - Mandy Wong

TVB actress Mandy Wong's role as Lau Siu-Lan in L'Escargot promoted to her popularity and thus gained her an award in the recent TVB Anniversary Awards 2012 as Best Supporting Actress.

AOD Awards 2012

TVB had their own annual Anniversary Awards back in Hong Kong. For Malaysia, in several years ago, we have Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards running for around five to seven years before it is cancelled to make way for the up-to-date My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards not long after Astro on Demand is offered to Malaysian citizens showing the latest TVB dramas concurrently with audiences in Hong Kong. The Malaysia’s awards presentation which is slightly humble continue this year with more awards to be presented as two new categories are introduced; ‘My Favourite Promising Character Award’ and ‘My Favourite Classic Role’.

This awards which is usually held earlier than the much prestigious and popular TVB Anniversary Awards always serve as a hint of winners at the TVB awards as winners selected from My AOD Awards will be then awarded too for similar category in TVB Awards in past years. Well, now without wasting much time, let us have a look at the nomination list which I believed had already been released a week or two earlier without me noticing it. The awards presentation will be held at Sunway Convention Centre on 2nd December 2012.

This awards would be a disadvantage to ‘The Confidant’ as the series would not be finished airing at the time of the awards and that people usually cast their votes earlier and yet this series isn’t released yet currently. Well, it just gets into nomination but it’s certainly unfair to this heavyweight drama. One of my favourite dramas of the year, ‘The Hippocratic Crush’ receives the most nominations and I do hope it would certainly wins in some categories. It’s really a good drama but too bad, it is released early this year and many would have forgotten the impact from this meaningful medical-based drama. I think this awards would benefits dramas released earlier while TVB awards would usually goes for their promoting dramas usually released in end of the year.

Here’s below is the official nomination list for the My AOD Favourites Awards 2012. The one with a small star at the end is my top picks (5 usually) while the bolded ones are either my choice or to win.  If you are a Malaysian and an Astro subscriber, you can cast a vote on its website: http://zhongwen.astro.com.my/AODAwards/home.aspx.
