The Seventh Day 《最美麗的第七天》 is a TVB series released in 2008. Following the success of Under the Canopy of Love, Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow once again paired up in this 20-episode TVB romantic drama, which is also known as the "sequel" to Under the Canopy of Love due to the same main group of cast members. However, both series are not related in their storylines.
This is Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow's third successive collaboration following Hard Fate in 2004, and Under the Canopy of Love in 2006. All their TVB collaborations have been produced by Amy Wong.
This series was filmed in Hong Kong and Japan between Nov 2006 to February 2007.

[edit] Synopsis
Different people have different attitudes to love - even those born on the same day in the same year do not necessarily share the same views. YAU CHI WING (Cheng, Kevin) and HUI WAI YAN (Wong Chung Chak or Don Dum,Bosco) were both born on the seventh day of August, but one takes relationships seriously while the other is so money-minded and sees love as a tool to get higher up the social ladder.
The tale begins on the seventh of August, when WING and Don first encounter their own dream girl on the same island. WING works as a lifeguard on the outlying island. He gets to know pet shop assistant LING KA YAN (Chow Lai Ki, Niki) by chance and is soon mesmerized by her endearing personality. Don who works at a coffee shop meets a romance comic artist called WONG CHI KWAN (Tong Sze Wing, Natalie). Being misled into believing that the girl is from a rich family, Don decides to chase her. He would never have thought that someone as calculative as himself would end up falling into a love trap.
As for WING, he met Yan. Yan, at first mistakened him to be those bad guys until one night WING was in a fight and got wounded. Yan helped WING, and they became friends. Yan liked WING secretly though. Yan and WING's grandma became great friends once they met each other. Yan soon finds out that WING's birthday is almost here so she wants to celebrate it with him but he forgot his own birthday and Yan got mad. WING, after a while, saw how kind and sweet Yan was, and he secretly liked her too.
