Big White Duel 2 Premieres on July 25
Hoping to reinvigorate its viewership ratings, TVB is releasing Big White Duel 2 <白色強人II> on July. 25. The sequel of the hit medical drama will star the majority of the original cast including Roger Kwok (郭晉安), Kenneth Ma (馬國明), Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), Kelly Cheung (張曦雯), Ram Chiang (蔣志光), as well as new entrants Moses Chan (陳豪) and Nancy Wu (胡定欣).
The sequel continues to explore the inner operations of a public hospital while Roger and Kenneth’s characters embroil in another power struggle over the hospital’s pharmacy. Meanwhile, on-screen couple Kenneth and Natalie are on shaky grounds after Nancy’s character enters the picture.
TVB is hoping that the Big While Duel 2 will help improve the viewership ratings after Barrack O’Karma 1968 <金宵大廈2> and Stranger Anniversary <雙生陌生人> failed to impress the audience. However, despite the strong cast and theme, Big While Duel 2 faces stiff competition against other networks and will have to work hard to win back the audience’s attention.

the first one was kinda boring but i guess other viewers still buy into the typical tvb scheming/plotting storyline.
Agree. I found the first one really boring. They drew out the hospital politics about going public vs private for 20 episodes. Same issue just talking non-stop about it for the entire series and not much character development. It definitely wasn’t a good drama to me. Surprised they thought they did so well that they have to make a sequel. But then again, it’s TVB. They make sequels to practically everything or remakes.
Pass on this one…………The only reason I watched it the first time around was for Ali Lee…………This sequel without Ali is not even worth watching.
same here. In fact, i subscribed to TVB Anywhere for Ali. Now that it seems she will be passing on dramas for a while, I unsubscribed it.
I really can’t stand the english song they keep playing in the first show… argh!!
I never watched the first one, and was going to, but from what you guys describe it’s not even worth it haha.
