"D.I.E Again" finale criticized to have copied "Saw"




TVB series "D.I.E Again" ratings and reputation do not compare with the first season (D.I.E), but that did not affect the cast's mood. Roger Kwok, Sonjia Kwok, Derek Kwok, Siu Yee and etc. attended a celebration last night and watched the finale together. The expenses for the celebration were provided by Roger and Sonjia. Once the finale broadcast, it was criticized by Netizens. It was said that the scene where Roger and Sonjia weres stranded in the chamber, the two made a life and death decision, and this was a copy from the movie "Saw".



Sonjia Kwok can careless on ratings

Roger expressed that the series brought several job opportunities for him and the series' reputation as well. He said: "Sequels in general have always missed something, but I still look forward in another sequel with the original cast, but I don't want an ancient style one. Modern people turning in to ancient characters is too strange." Sonjia frankly said that she does not have any special hope on the ratings, she felt that its enough that the audience enjoy watching the series. Also, when looking at the ratings, have to look at the bigger picture, recent school opening, national holidays and many people choose to catch up with the series online, ratings would be affected in these cases.

Derek Kwok refuses to talk about ex-wife

Earlier Derek was rumored to have gotten back together with his ex-wife and even has a 9 month year old daughter. He expressed that he already explained the situation and will not talk about it again. When asked if he really did reconciled with his ex-wife? Derek said: "I don't talk about my relationships and it is not because TVB requested me to stay low about it. The most important thing is that I clearly provided an explanation." He frankly said that he and Joyce Tang will not be embarrassed when they meet each other: "We never said that we're together, we have always been good friends and will be like that in the future."
