Caption: Although "Devil's Disciple" featured Bosco Wong and Kevin Cheng, the audience's reception was unexpectedly terrible.
Earlier, in Hong Kong's Internet Forums, netizens voted in a poll entitled, "2007's Trashiest TVB Series." The series, "Devil's Disciples" 《強劍》received the most votes and received numerous complaints in its early broadcast.
"Devil's Disciples" received 350 votes in the "Trashiest Series Poll," which was 30% of all votes. In second place was Gigi Lai and Kevin Cheng's "Life Art" 《寫意人生》with 200 votes. Steven Ma Chung Wai and Shirley Yeung Si Kei's "A Change of Destiny" 《天機算》was in third place with 150 votes.

In "Devil's Disciple," Bosco Wong's image was similar to Stephen Chow Sing Chi's comedian roles. However, his humorous image was unsuccessful and the gags were heavily criticized. Some audience members even demanded TVB to stop airing the series midway!

"Devil's Disciple" received 31 points in its initial week of broadcast. However, the ending dropped to only 29 points, breaking the record of all time low ratings for a finale broadcast.

In the ending, Bosco's succeeded in mastering his martial arts technique. The series concluded with a song and dance routine, making audience's eyes pop. It well deserved the title of one of TVB's trashiest series of the year. Source: Mingpao
