Many people die as the old-fashioned tenement Wai Lei Building abruptly collapses. Engineer Sze Kwong has conducted a survey of the building. He arbitrarily investigates the incident as he reckons the building collapse is shrouded in intrigue. While the incident is being unraveled, Sze Kwong’s girlfriend Cheung Man, who is some property developer’s lawyer, dies in a traffic accident. And then his younger half-sister Auyeung Ka Shun, who has the same father, meets her death. Sze Kwong is also silenced. Sze Kwong comes round and surprisingly returns to somewhere in time before the building collapses as the deity has given him a chance to live again! Sze Kwong suspects the building collapse has something to do with property developer Hong Wing Yan and his mentor Ying Yiu Wa. He also wants to prevent the disaster from happening. To avoid implicating Cheung Man and Ka Chun, Sze Kwong decides not to recognize his younger sister to start with, and he also does not go out with Cheung Man. He just covertly watches over the duo.

Reviews
Another unwatchable drama starring Shaun Tam
Shaun never fails to disappoint me with his poor portrayal of characters and poor choice of projects. Or maybe he's just exceptionally good at picking characters that are 2 dimensional and extremely dull. At this point, I don't know if he is genuinely trying to annoy me or if he is just a terrible actor. It's most likely the latter.I'm pretty sure every TV series I've seen him in on TVB is unwatchable. It's like he is competing with "Chin Pang" to be the most unwatchable actor on TVB. They're tied this year at being unwatchable in my books because their dramas should have been rejected before production. Period.
As for "Take Two", it feels like a complete rip off of "Over Run Over" starring Vincent Wong, Tracy Chu and Ben Yuen. Time travel is such a severely overused plot device on TV. Add on top of that the bad CGI of a collapsing building, and the constant flashbacks of the 2 female leads suffering life-ending injuries, and you have a recipe for disaster.
The funniest thing about all of this is Shaun actually won Best Actor of 2021 for his performance in this dreadful piece of work! Can't say I was surprised he won because the TV execs invited his famous celeb father Ti Lung to the awards ceremony. Talk about something being rigged!
