I have seen Vic Zhou’s acting a little bit in Meteor Garden, and I think that he has been improved so much in Silence. He brings out the loneliness of Qi Wei Yi so well. Half way through the series, I just could help it, but cries for him so many times. Park Eun Hye as a mute girl is pretty good. She uses the sign language naturally. Without saying a word, her body languages just work so well, I kind of feel for her when she cries and when she is happy. Andy hui and Megan Lai do a good job with their roles. Sometime, you just want to punch them because their jealousies are so annoying, and that what they purpose to be. However, it seems to me that I always see Megan Lai in this kind of character, so nothing new to me.

The story itself is fantastic. The story reminds me a little bit of Korean series, Autumn Tale because the story starts off when the leading roles were a kid, but it not as dramatic as Autumn Tale. Even if the ending is kind of sad, but I don’t think it’s tragic. Vic Zhou’s role is a sick person, so if the story has a happy ending, I think it will be way too unrealistic. After this kind of drama is a kind that give you a good cry. To me it is like reading the “Tuesday with Morrie” all over again. It doesn’t mean that the stories are the same, but they give me the same feeling, sad and touching at the same time.
