[edit] Review
This series is said to be another TVB classic masterpiece. It contains many realistic elements relating to the life of a woman in today's modern society, particularly in Hong Kong. Many audience members feel like they can relate to the characters in the story. There is one particular scene where Sheren Tang's character is scolding Melissa Ng's character for her weak personality, many audience members cried out while watching the scene as it reflected their personalities in real life.
There are three pairs of couples in the series. The main pair is Raymond Lam and Melissa Ng. Their story focuses on the fact that society believes that the wife should be younger than the husband. However, Raymond, in the show, had been in love with his tutor (Melissa, who was 18)ever since he was 11 years old. Their love story was very touching and it went against the traditional Chinese values. The ending, which was set at the beach, was especially compelling and made many audience members cry. Ah Ling and Siu Chai's romance story has touched the hearts of many viewers.
The second pair is Michael Tse and Sheren Tang. Their story focuses on their quest to power and fame, their readiness to sacrifice anything - even their loved ones - for the sake of climbing the corporate ladder. However, throughout the show, their characters began to make the realization that love and family are actually much more significant in life than success in the business world.
