Character Analysis:
Dicky Cheung Bu Dong (Dicky Cheung)

Unconventional teacher who is able to manage a group of mischievous students. At first, all students dislike him. However, he is able to win the trust of the students based on his unconditional love for his students. Wacky, witty, happy-go-lucky person with a big heart.

Dicky is at his usual self onscreen and I always think that he is most suitable for such roles. Undoubtedly, he is very good in this show and is one of the best performers in the show. I like his happy-go-lucky disposition and those teary eyes. It reflects a soft side of him. Frankly, without Dicky, the show would have been quite boring.

Li Bing Bing Ying Zi Yan (Li Bing Bing)

The only woman in the class who is highly mischievous. She dislikes Dicky and her father in the beginning. She is a troublemaker, likes to have fun, hates teachers and would play tricks on some students. However, she is not as nasty and wicked and she changes to be really adoring in the end.

Li Bing Bing is also good at fun loving roles and she matches really well with Dicky. She is pretty in this show too. Her acting is good. However, I would prefer her to be in more 'serious', mature roles. I think she is more suitable for such roles. A rose among the guys, she really stands out from the rest of the student.

 Ho Mei Tian Ying Zi Fu (Ho Mei Tian)

A demure lady who falls for a teacher (not Dicky). She is feeling blue most of the time until she found her happiness. She is brave and faithful for lingering on her love for many years.

Ho Mei Tian is as usual the demure, sad lady in this show whom I think this role is very similar to her past roles. I am quite sick of watching her in such roles. However, she is most suitable for such roles. Her performance in the show is quite good.

---(added by me)

He's a young music teacher whom Mei Tian fell in love with and is also in love with Mei tian. He used to be a teacher like Dicky, but an incident happen during his years of teaching that changed him to a person who seems to not care about anything.

Nie Yuan Emperor Zheng De aka Zhu Zheng (Nie Yuan)

A low self-esteem crown prince in the beginning. He is a student of Dicky. Dicky and Wu Xiu monk helped him gained confidence and he found her true love, Li Feng Jie. After emerging as the emperor and 'wiser' in ruling, he became quite powerful with emperor flair.

Nie Yuan is a new young actor in China whom many think is suitable for emperor roles as he has a high cheek bone. I agree on this as I do think he looks powerful (for his age) as an emperor. His acting is not very impressive, but he does have that emperor flair which makes him successful in 'conquering' this role.

Shen Xiao Hai Ning Wang (Shen Xiao Hai)

The villain in this show. Rebel who wanted to take over the crown. He is good looking, suave, knowledgeable, highly pretentious and ambitious.

Shen Xiao Hai didn't do a good job in this show. He has limited expressions and he simply does not portray a villain well. He also doesn't look handsome, suave and knowledgeable to me. As for being pretentious, there are not much difference between his 'good' and bad appearance to the audience. This show is incomplete without a good villain. Huang Hai Bing as a small role of 6 prince did a better job. He is more hateful.

Xue Jia Ning Feng Jie (Xue Jia Ning)

Emperor Zheng De's lover and wife in the end. She always hoped to find a good husband who can provide her with luxury. She is also the boss of a wine inn.

Xue Jia Ning also didn't do a good job in this show. I simply dislike her even though she isn't suppose to be a bad person in this show. Her expression are quite fake too.

Wu Xiu Monk (Lo Kar Ying)

Bu Dong's room mate who helped him accomplish a special mission. Cute old man who is wise and a blur at times.

Lo Kar Ying is also at his normal onscreen self of an adorable old man. His performance is actually good and funny. This character seems a little redundant to me and there isn't much impressive contribution from this character to the whole story.

the students at their finest

The students

Playful, dislike teachers and studying and some are big bullies to weaker students. All turn good in the end and manage to make it to the next level of education. Some of the more memorable students are Xing Feng (Wang Shuo), Da Guan, etc.

The 'bells and whistles' of the show. Without them, the show would not be a show. :) My favourite student is Da Guan and I think he is really brave despite being slow in learning. There are many morality stories revolves around this student. It is a pity that he is out in the middle of the story to give way for more stories ahead.
