I enjoyed this series a lot, but the only thing that disappointed me in the series is the fact that the aunt kept blaming her nephew and kept wanting revenge.

*SPOILER*
I also did not like the fact that Wood Block / Muk Hing became such a bad person. He was an honest, helpful and such a down-on-Earth guy in the beginning. When the cameras close-up on their faces, you obviously know the character becomes jealous or concerned. He looked too serious with his suit and new hair too! Every step of the way, he became less and less of himself, and it was so upsetting because he was such a helpful and honest guy who wanted everyone to be happy.

I did not want to believe he became so power-hungry and greedy, but he did. It just surprised me that he would think that his tactics would help people, but he only thought about himself the whole time, and he betrayed everyone that were once his friends. He could not even fool his fiance after a while and she was straying away from him.

I first stumbled upon this series when I caught my Mum watching it on DVD a year or two ago and the promotional poster just threw me off. Joe Ma and Charmaine Sheh are two actors that shouldn’t be bundled together in at whatever costs.

It wasn’t until a few days ago when I went through Mum’s DVD collection and fate led me to this series again. Out of respect for Liza Wang and the handsome Raymond Wong, I decided to give this a go.

I’m currently up to episode six and I’m rather bored, everything is following a TVB’s typical storyline. Perhaps it is too early to expect any top notch drama, so I’m going to stick around longer.

Also, being a big shipper of Heung-Ching and Cheuk-Wah, it dissapoints me that TVB once again will string the two leading characters together. It is far from the climax of the series, and already I’m bracing myself to feel sorry for Cheuk-Wah, but that’s just my two cents. Hope this series picks up soon

This is a really good drama. I’m on the 7th episode and cannot wait to watch the next one. The Chinese name sounds better than the English one, the English name does sound a bit long and not “catchy”.

I think Charmaine and Joe looks good together dispite of other’s disagreement. The era of this time is also quite interesting. If any of you like this time era, I recommend you to read “Shanghai Girls” by Lisa Lee. It’s a really good book dated in the same era based in Shanghai and Los Angeles.

Give this show a try, you might like it. Some funny parts but it’s mostly drama.

these type of series (setting and era) don’t really interest me, the only thing attracting my attention is mainly that charmaine’s in there ^.^ but pairing up with joe ma? i dont think thats too great actually. lol

Although the pairing is not appealing but the plot of the show is rather interesting. (^-^)

After reading the comments posted, I must give Joe ma a big hand of support because his acting is great and I personally think he looks great with Charmaine. Even though I’m a big fan of joe ma, that does not put me in the position of liking him numbly. Why does the pairing look unappealing? This story has a very emotional plot and I greatly recommend it.

hmmm, not many of you likes this drama? but i think you all should give it a try on this drama because the plot is great.
Although the pairing doesn’t look appealing to most of us (even me). but i like charmaine’s character in it. The story between Liza and Joe and Joe and charmaine.
so why not give it a try?
it’s a nice show!

I’m up to eps 10 already and she is paired up with the brother as of now and i think tat they are so cute together! I must agree that i dont think joe and charmaine makes a good pair, tvb should bring her bak to the brother in the end…so far the series is pretty good. i prefer this over the gem of life which besides the big stars in it that is luring me to watch it, seems to be getting a tad boring.

First thought that came to my mind when I saw the poster was, “OMG, Maiden’s Vow?!!” Lol. I’m not a big fan of Joe Ma but I do like Charmaine so I might give this a try and if it’s not worth it then I won’t watch it.
Somehow, I think it might be like The Silver Chamber of Sorrows… the way they dress and time period just reminds me of it & not to to mention the whole family blah blah and stuff.
& it’s 30 episodes?! That’s kinda long, & the title is long too… hard to remember ><

I saw the trailer of this in the Lighting Ceremony. It does look interesting but I don’t like the pairing, Charmaine and Joe. And wow, such a long name for the series. (;
