“Barrack O’Karma” Prepares for Big Finale This Sunday
Karma is coming.
The TVB supernatural horror series Barrack O’Karma <金宵大廈> will be releasing its final episode on Sunday, and the storyline is quickly picking up speed. In the last two episodes, Coco (Selena Lee 李施嬅) and Yuk-fai (Joel Chan 陳山聰) plummeted into the sea – seemingly to their deaths – to escape from the clutches of triad boss Hung Gor (Ho Kai-nam 何啓南). Coco is also suffering from a bullet wound, and it is unknown if they will make it out alive. However, Lam Gor Zai (Bob Cheung 張彥博) suddenly appears and grabs Coco by the arm, but is it to save her?
Lam Gor Zai is actually the younger version of Teacher Lam (Lam Kong 劉江). It turns out that years ago, while the Twilight Mansion was being built, the builders had discovered a fox spirit, but in order to control the spirit, they had to bury a man alive. That man turned out to be Lam Gor Zai.
Joel and Selena shared that their jump to the sea was shot in the middle of the night in Sai Kung. The sea water wasn’t too salty nor too murky, and as both Joel and Selena are swimmers, the scene wasn’t their most challenging. The studio had also hired divers to explore the area beforehand to make sure that filming was safe. Nonetheless, the scene still took three nights to film.
Barrack O’Karma’s finale airs Sunday, October 13, 2019.

Holy crap! A spoiler warning on top would’ve been nice!!! I Haven’t seen to that part about builder’s history. Pffft. It’s also weird that the article talk about filming at the pier but the pictures are in a pool….
I like it in the beginning. There were different types of stories. Now is just cheesy romantic one after another. Ugh, happy ending ones too. Typical. And they copied a lot more Western romcom. I want Asian-inspired, even if recycled, horror!
Joel is better at subtle cry than deliberate ones. I like how he naturally cries when he talked/reminisced. His cry when Alex disappeared a couple times was soooo fake and forced. It’s literally like wartching crocodile tears. And can he stop calling her names when he cries? Annoying af, lol.

that’s what i notice about articles on this site.
In my opinion I think that this Barrack o karma tv series were something fresh and interesting to watch. Salena Li was awesome in her role and she’s so suitable for 50s-60s era roles. I sincerely hope that tvb would try their best to recruit her for the sequel even though she has already left the station. It would be a major loss for her fans if she decides to forgo her role in the sequel.
你地連劉冮的英文都串錯，it’s Lau, how can it be Lam Kong? Please correct. And barrack okarma Is asian inspired already, how is it similar to western Rom-Com? This is in reply to jjwong. I think it’s done beautifully, only if one knows how to appreciate it. It aint cheesy romantic story, maybe you need sone romance yourself lmao.
