No feelings when watching television

When mentioned about his old friend, Kent Tong (湯鎮業) who acted in Lord of Shanghai (梟雄) series received good reviews, Felix replied that he only watched half episode: "Actually, I do not have any feelings when watching television until Anthony Wong (黃秋生) suddenly speaks in Shanghai accent and I feel uncomfortable. I am also unused to Kenneth Ma's (馬國明) voice being dubbed. (Prefers the original?) Original is definitely better. Otherwise, do you think it will be better if every cast member speak in Shanghai accent?"
