oh well, it's a really nice show!judging by the way that i actually chionged for the drama during exams, notwithstanding, it thoroughly meant that there's something about this show that attracts me to watching it.

yes as usual, it's those big budget type of shows where the family falls apart because of money. isn't it amazing how money can turn a person 180 degrees characteristically?

there's plenty of love triangles also. for instance:
1) raymond is with linda, but he cheats on her with yoyo
2)linda is with raymond, but moses likes her
3)lee si kei and ha yu are married, but susanna is ha yu's 'small wife'

even the old have love affairs okay. dun underestimate them. haha.

to cap it in a nutshell, susanna becomes the bad person, because her eyes only has the $0.6billion dollars on target. uncle bor becomes an accomplice because he feels that he keeps getting ostracised by the family. henry, susanna's lover, actually pretends to love susanna because of the $0.6billion dollars inheritance. bosco becomes....evil for 2 episodes in a bid to trick susanna and co. chris becomes naughty because he has to tell a lie to protect his mum. ha yu is stupid because he didn't listen to lee si kei's advices.

wah this show actually got quite alot of stupid, evil, bad and naughty people. oh well, what's a big budget show if there're no such characters.

on the good side though, the older women did better in this show. [i.e they acted better] michelle yim, lee si kei and susanna kwan did marvellously in their roles. i totally hated susanna's role in the show, which is a good ting because her character is actually bad. i could feel the strength and firmness in michelle yim's ling lei. and of cus, lee si kei's anguish towards the few episodes when she was sick, and how she stood up to susanna despite her illness.

*applaudes them for superb acting*

but of cus, raymond lam did well also!at first i didn't like his character because he was cheating on linda. but after he knew his wrong, he started a diary called 'days without sheung joi sum' which consisted of many heartfelt entries. and i feel so sorry for raymond and linda because raymond died and he didn't ask for forgiveness from linda because he didn't want her to cry. it's like omgggggg how to find such a sweet guy?

the proposal between moses and linda was lame though. i felt the ending over the inheritance was already a very very good one. BUT THEY HAD TO ADD IN MOSES'S PROPOSAL. which is completely out of the blue. never even date before den wanna propose. the worst ting was linda said yes!

other than raymond lam, i tink the other guys didn't do so well, including moses. and they're so weak in this show!it's like always letting the woman go about what they want. bosco didn't have much involvement in the whole show at all man. haii and he's in the front of the promotional poster!zzzz

having said that, if any tvb drama lovers are interested, you can actually go to:

Casts: Sheren Tang, Kiki Sheung, Cecilia Yip, Michael Tse, Leila Tong , John Chiang, Kenneth Ma, Fala Chen

Episodes: 21

Genre: Modern Drama/Family/Women

Synopsis:

Many people say that housewives are good-for-nothing and will only idle away their time on boring chores. But Mung Ka-Ka (Sheren Tang), Ting Mui-Heung (Cecilia Yip) and Cho Mei-Ngo (Kiki Sheung) will prove them wrong. Contrary to what you might think, being a housewife is as stressful as fighting in the battlefield. The never-ending housework and the persistent family conflicts will put them on the alert at all times.

Ka suspects that her husband Fong Yin-Cho (Michael Tse) is a cross-dresser and her constant worries have caused her to suffer from anxiety disorder. Heung has contracted a sexually transmitted disease from her spouse while Ngo agrees to arrange a sham divorce for the sake of his husband without knowing that he has been cheating on her. The women’s neighbor Ko Wing-Kuen (John Chiang) was widowed in his younger days. Since the death of his wife, he has taken up all kinds of domestic work, which puts him in a very awkward position.

The wife of Kam Shing-Tsun (Kenneth Ma), the owner of a tea restaurant in the neighborhood, has recently committed suicide. Before the tragedy took place, the three housewives had given the lady a warning, about which they feel so guilty…
