![]() Her ex-boyfriend was involved with illegal dealings. The story starts off with Kathy recovering and coming out of hospital. She appears so innocent, with nothing to hide: Defensive about her past and wanting to move on live a normal life. Despite seemingly a bit older to play the sister of two there was always that mystery around her. Kathy Chow: I really liked Kathy’s character. why are they so bias? I liked watching Michael and Kathy’s friendship although at times it seems they’re more like acquaintances. When Michael displayed his talented skills and seemed to have the upper hand, Kate and her dad were disappointed and clearly wanted Eddie to win. While they say they treat him as part of the family, I felt it was slack when they were watching the shooting competition between Eddie and Michael and it was clear Kate/Kate’s dad were rooting for Eddie only. I never really felt the bond with him and Kate/Kate’s dad. There is bitterness and rivalry towards Eddie and I can’t blame him. Being an orphan at a young age, Michael learned the ‘need’ to fight back in order to survive. Michael is always competitive and wants to be the ‘best of the best’ and hates to lose. Those who he kill “deserve” to die despite the on-going theme that he is not the judge and should not be the one to punish. I think Michael had a good heart, and while he may appear to be ‘twisted’ in his thoughts, he stands up for the weak and executes the bad guys who deserve to die but the police cannot get rid of. I feel for his character and can’t help but hope things work out for him. Michael Tse: While he looks just like Laughing-Gor here, I actually think Michael fits this role and it still feels refreshing watching it. At the start of the series, he gets close to Kathy because he wanted to make up for accidentally shooting her in the head during one of his duties but later falls in love with her. He plays the typical righteous cop, well respected by his followers and holds the championship title in shooting competitions. Personally I wasn’t too interested in his character- he was a bit boring for my liking. I haven’t seen Eddie for a while so it was good to see a fresh face on screen. The large corporation is involved with many illegal dealings and activity, which the cops (Kate’s Team) are constantly on the tail of.Įddie Cheung: A nice decent guy but nothing too interesting about his character. As a result, Michael ends up secretly working for ‘Kei Dim’ Corporations as their assassin, run by Alice Chan’s father. His dreams of being able to bring justice to the world and to protect the weak/innocent has been robbed from him and he can no longer be in the police force. Unfortunately, due to Michael disobeying orders by exercising his own judgement during an operation (and Eddie pointing this out), Michael ends up being kicked out of the SDU leaving him with nothing. The two “brothers†Eddie and Michael were the top Snipers in SDU, trained together under the same master (Kate Tsui’s father) whom worked extremely well as a team. ![]() Like Tiger Cubs, Sniper Standoff is based around SDU (Special Duties Unit), however as the title suggests, focuses on the Snipers (namely Eddie Cheung, ex-SDU Sniper Michael Tse, and newbie female SDU member Eliza Sam). I felt sorry for their characters and have always hoped they would get a good ending. ![]() They have the most interesting back stories and character development. The most interesting characters (and personal favourites) are Michael and Kathy’s characters. It had a good storyline (relatively fast-paced), and kept me watching and wanting to find out more. I thought Sniper Standoff was a pretty decent TVB series for 2013.
