Netizens Can't Stand Sire Ma Saying "Bo Bo" 35 Times in 21 Minutes

TVB's latest series Bullet Brain stars three time TV King Wayne Lai, produced by golden producer Lee Tim Shing and is scriptwriter Yip Kwong Yam's first production since his return to TVB. This became one of the highly anticipated series. Earlier Tim Gor said confidently: "I guarantee this series is a good watch!" Unfortunately things did not turn out as expected. Within the last two weeks of broadcast, there has been more criticisms then compliments. Looking through the comments online, Netizens are basically saying: "So boring; so stupid; Don't know what they're trying to say! It needs to be cut!" In the past, the two current airing series are usually the top two ranked on myTV (tvb.com), but Bullet Brain is only in 5th place with only an average of 40,000 views per episode, which lags far behind A Great Way to Care II's 100,000+ views and is no match for newly released variety shows Pilgrimage of Wealth and Office of Practical Jokes and sitcom Come Home Love.

This is Sire Ma's first leading role, Netizens previously complimented that she's a beautiful girl and her 'fighter girl' first appearance in the series created very good momentum. However, the short-lived momentum quickly turned into criticisms of her poor acting and stiff expressions. Last Thursday's broadcast of episode 9, practically more than half of the episode was taken up by Sire's monodrama. Within 21 minutes, Sire said "Bo Bo" 35 times ('Bo Bo', how Sire addresses Columbo). Netizens felt annoyed hearing her say "Bo Bo" time after time. "Her voice is so difficult to tolerate. They're always saying 'Bo Bo' and 'Wah Wah'. I wanna vomit! This needs to be cut!"

On the contrary, Natalie Tong, who plays the Schizophrenic "Mui Mui" received praises that she showed improvement in her acting. "Her acting is so crazy and great. Compared to Sire Ma, she is relatively superior."

However, recently in both TVB series A Great Way to Care II and Bullet Brain, there are a chain of Schizophrenia cases, which was too critcized by Netizens: "TVB's 10 series, 4 of them has Schizophrenia, not original at all."
