Face To Fate
There is a high chance that this series will remain a warehouse series forever, but seeing what happened to Trimming Success, Misleading Track, and Greed Mask etc., I am still hoping TVB will air this series some day, because it is a good series. (:
Tai Gik (English title unknown- don't make it something stupid!)
Producer: Leung Ka Shu (Survivor's Law, Golden Faith)
Number Of Episodes: 30
Cast: Vincent Zhao, Raymond Lam, Myolie Wu, Melissa Ng, Kenneth Ma, Selena Lee and many more
Raymond's role: 2nd male lead
Character name: Duen Hiu Sing (段晓星）
Paired up with: Myolie Wu
Reasons to watch:
1) Real fighting, human philosophy, plus a little bit of politics. All these themes added together make the story seem really attractive.
2) The producer, who does not produce many tvb series, but his every piece of work is awesome. Also, Raymond seem to be one of Mr Leung's 'favourites'. I am sure he will give him lots of opportunities to SHINE.
3) The love stories between Vincent, Melissa, Raymond and Myolie sound very beautiful. You can read more about them here: http://forum.tvbsquare.com/forum/index.php?topic=1932.0
4) Vincent Zhao in a tvb series, with RAY. o.O that is awesome. I read the synopsis about his character (link above), and I find his story really attractive. A kid who was once abandoned by the world, grew up in isolation, but slowly learns to trust humans and see the warm side of mankind, it reminds me of Kam Sai Wai (in the REAL novel, not LWVB).
5) If I did not remember wrongly, there was one interview, when Raymond was asked which were the performance he is most satisfied with so far, and he named TOB, LWOLAP and Tai Gik. o.O this is what we call FIRST HAND information. I can't wait to see what Raymond has to show us this time round!
Anyway, I think this list can go on for ages. TG is my most anticipated series of 2007, in case you did not know it. I hope it does not disapoint!
The New Breath Of Love
Production type: Mainland
Number of episodes: unknown
Cast: Raymond Lam, Chen Yi Rong, Alex Fong
Raymond's role: 1st male lead
Character Name: Xu Kai (徐凯）
Paired up with: Chan Yi Rong
Description:
Based on Wong Man Wah's novel: 61x57. Mmm, the sound of the title tells you for sure that this is a romantic series, set out to 'explore the different perspectives of romance'. It sounds sophisticated. o.O Since I seldom watch mainland productions, I don't know what kind of expectations to set for this series
Reasons to watch:
1) The story- (if it turns out good)
2) The Cast: Raymond, Tammy, Alex Fong. Whoohoo! It's good to see Raymond playing the 'charming modern guy' character again since TLB. This time round, he would be more of a 'playboy'. I've read a little bit about his character in one of his interviews. You can read it here:

Sounds like a very layered and interesting character
3) This is Raymond's chance to break out into the mainland market, and we must support him!
Any drawbacks?
This series looks really sweet+beautiful. And with Raymond, there is NO way I will skip this series. I just hope the storyline turns out good.
Tong Sum Fung Bo (English title unconfirmed)
producer: Lau Ka Ho (The Gentle Crackdown, When Rules Turn Lose)
Number of episodes: 40
Cast: Moses Chan, Linda Chung, Raymond Lam, Yoyo Mung, Bosco Wong, Tavia Yeung
Raymond's role: guest star
Character Name: 程亮
Co-stars: Linda Chung, Yoyo Mung
Description: Ray's character here sounds similar to that in NBOL. Charming gentleman sometimes, a little bit of a jerk sometimes. However, I think Xu Kai will be explored more deeply compared to this one, because Raymond is only guest-star status in this series. For the sake of Raymond's 20-episode appearance, I am going to watch the entire 40 episodes. Mann, I hope it will be good! I think so though, Tong Sum Fung Bo is dubbed as one of the grand production of 2007 after all!
Sui Yuet Fung Wun (English title unconfirmed)
Producer: Leung Ka Shu (Survivor's Law, Golden Faith)
Co-producer: Poon Ka Tak (La Femme Desperado, Men In Pain)
Production type: Mainland+TVB collaboration
Number of episodes: 60
Cast: Raymond Lam, Charmaine She, Myolie Wu, Joe Ma, Jessica Hsuan, Damian Lau, Michael Miu, Gigi Wong, Sheren Teng, Ron Ng, Toby Leung, Chan Mei Kei and many more
Raymond's role: 1st male lead
Character Name: Wah Zan Bong (华振邦）
Co-stars: Charmaine She, Myolie Wu
Desription: Once again, Mr Leung is producing a grand series with his favourite cast: Raymond, Jessica, Myolie, and his beloved daughter Ms Toby Leung. Hehe... The story has something to do with the car industry, and mainly revolves around the family business of the Wah family, using this family as a backdrop to bring out the 'wind and storm' HK has been through over the past 10 years since being returned to China. o.O Sounds really BIG.
the ONLY reason this is a MUST WATCH:
I can think of loads of reasons to watch this series, but I am lazy to. The most important reason, is the fact that our Mr Raymond Lam is playing the FIRST lead role in a mega GRAND production. Seems like tvb has found someone to succeed Gallen's "leading-man-in-grand-production" status, and that someone is Raymond! :D:D:D I might be thinking too much out of this, but I AM indeed very glad that Ray got this opportunity. Add oil! Best actor 2007, yeah man!
Another reason: Charray once again! I am really missing their chemistry. Elated to see the pair up again =D
don't be freaked by the not-so-good outfits you are seeing in this picture. Since the beginning of the series was set in 1997, the clothes worn have to correspond to the time...
