TVB DRAMA: DICEY BUSINESS (賭場風雲) EPISODE 28 OF 35 ON JUNE 11, 2008, WEDNESDAY AT 8.00PM - 9.00PM OVER ASTRO WAH LAI TOI - THE SERIES CONTINUES...

Episode 28 of 35. The story continues...


The "Finale" of the gambling competition starts and Fu also watches it from the hospital.




During the game, the japanese lady said that seems that they are chasing after the same card. They gamble with all the chips they have and now it is up to Cheung whether to follow or not.


Cheung follows, ooh.. will he lose or win the game? Just too risky. Everybody is surprise when Cheung did so.


I m so happy in the end, Cheung wins. This is the best scene since this episode started just now. Just look at the expression of Cheung's happy face.


Cheung is the winner of the competition.


Don't think Fu is happy for his brother. Meantime, Cho was not pleased at all to see Cheung's winning.Cheung straight away went to see Fu instead of having celebration and only to find out Fu has left the hospital instead of being happy over his brother's winning.

When Cheung saw Fu, Fu told him that after his master wins the competition, he will take him to Vegas and said his master did a lot for him including donating liver to him. Cheung is very disappointed over Fu's behaviour towards him. He has never thought Fu will treat him this way. Cheung thought if he wins the competition he will win the heart of his brother but instead now, Fu is drifting so much apart from him and he felt so sad about it.


It has been too weeks since Cho disappeared from their mist. Where has he gone to? Meanwhile, Fu cleared Cho's documents after he had to resign as CEO from Onisac. Fu told Ah Wing his master treats him well but when Ah Wing told him his brother is the one treating him well, Fu said he does not want his brother's name to be mentioned. (Is that what you called a good younger brother)? Ah Wing told Fu he already resigned too as both Cho and Cheung no longer work there.


Fu told Mei everybody treat him well, Ah Wing, his master including his brother, Cheung. Since he knows so well everyone love him and cares for him why he treats his brother so cold. What is really in Fu's mind? He has only his master and no one else.


Both Cheung and Fu apologize to each other. Hope things won't get worsen again.


Ching-wan met Cho at at a food stall and paid Cho's food HK$12.00 when he did not have the cash. Cho told Wan that he does not need her help. He said he has lots of money. He took her to the ATM machine wanted to pay her back and guess what happened.


Left this much? Wan told Cho to face reality as he is not rich anymore. But he is stubborn and insist that he has not lost yet. Wan tries to cool him down.


Cho told Wan what actually happened the night before they were separated.


Ching-wan asked Cho why he did not explain to her about it much earlier but Cho said it is useless to do so. He said Ching-wan is the caused of him losing everything.


Will Ching-wan goes back to Cho again?


Wan told Cheung she met Cho and what had happened. She said Cho told her that he cheated on the casino's money and the robbery. But said he has another reason for it.Wan told Cheung all this while Cho was blackmailed and it is all due to her.


Cheung wanted to help Cho out and asked him to start all over again but Cho does not want his help and said Cheung is happy to see him in such situation now.


Even when Wing tries to sort things out between them, Cho just walked away.


Cho asked Fu to join him and built up an underground casino. Will Fu accept his offer? I think he will as he is willing to do anything for Cho. Episode 28 ends here and to be continued with episode 29...

Song Lyrics of Time Of My Life - David Cook

I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

So I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.
