Synopsis :

As the proverb said “”With a distinguished father such as you, the son is sure to do well”. However, for this pair of Father and son, it is quite difficult because both of them have different characters, different way of doing things and even their life goals are totally different from each other. Father, Chor Fan (Sunny Chan) has feelings of a man in the 60s, Son, Chor Ci (Ron Ng) finds that he is too slow as compared to others who are living in the 21st Century. A comedy which shows a travel in time. The circumstances that happen will not only cause positive aftertaste, but allows one to think about the meaning behind ‘There’s no inborn talent to become a powerful person overnight; A good man should work hard and stand up strong on his own feet’.

Chor Ci from the 21st Century went back in time to the 60s when his father was in his youth. Father and Son became best of brothers. Chor Fan sheltered Chor Ci and Chor Ci came to know the stingy boss of the Noodle Stall Ko San Chuen (David Chiang), the fierce landlady Tam Lan Ching (Gigi Wong), Bickering Lover Ching Lan Fun (Shirley Yeung) and the rich young lady Leung Pin Pin (Nancy Wu). Chor Ci offended many people and seldom greet others. Hence, he wasn’t well liked by many other neighbours such as the police sergeant Ngau Ching Wing (Louis Yuen). There is only Chor Fan who protects him all the time and even introduced him to work at a departmental store. However, Chor Ci, who is over ambitious, only knows how to blame his father for being too old-fashioned and allows others to take advantage of him.

Born Rich 富贵门

English Title: Born Rich 富贵门
Cantonese Title: Fu Gwai Moon
Broadcast Date: 19th October 2009 – 13th December 2009
Length: 41 Episode
Cast: Gallen Lo, Ray Lui, Joe Ma, Anita Yuen, Kenix Kwok, Jamie Chik, Nancy Sit, Kenneth Ma

Synopsis :

Sophisticated banker Cheuk Yat Yuen (Lui Leung Wai) mistakes con artist Sa Fu Loi (Lo Ka Leung) for his half brother Cheuk Yat Ming, fortuitously elevating the swindler to one of the leading figures in the banking industry. The lost and found brotherhood has blinded Yuen to Fu’s real nature and intentions.

Yuen is kidnapped overseas by a group of rioters. He undergoes a dramatic personality change after the incident. Yuen’s wife Ho Tseuk Nin (Chik Mei Chun) has tried her best to console him but still cannot help him get over the unpleasant experience. Longing for more comfort and support, Yuen gets back with his ex-lover Tung Ling Chi (Kwok Ho Ying). Nin is heartbroken to learn about the affair and it has left the broken mirror that can’t be mended.

The identity of Cheuk Yat Ming gives Fu not only a sense of family warmth but also a sweet taste of romance. He finds himself in love with Yuen’s little sister Cheuk Yat Sum (Yuen Wing Yi). Sum is attracted to Fu too but thinking that they are true biological siblings, she decides to keep her love under wraps and stays with her long-term admirer Ko Tok Man (Ma Tak Chung) instead. This comes as a huge blow to Fu. He is not willing to lose his love, but neither can he reveal his real identity. Caught up in the dilemma between love and money, Fu finally chooses the fortune road of no return.

It is all about a tough battle for money, a devious triangle of love, and a severe challenge to ethics.

Notes: Another grand production this will be looking at the number of famous actor and actress acting in it. Not only that, there are 40 episodes in total. The story is based on a family who runs a bank. In the story, seems there are a lot of difficult love relationship going on. Another highly anticipated drama I believe.

Length: 33 Episode

Synopsis :

Imperial Household Bureau is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tong Dynasty. It is comprised of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire, Food and Furnishings. Lau Sam Ho (Charmaine Sheh) and Yiu Kam Ling (Tavia Yeung) are introduced into the bureau in their tender age and brought up in the disciplines of the palace. The two girls are diligent. Yuen Tsui Wan (Susanna Kwan), Head of the Jewels, and Chung Suet Ha (Michelle Yim), Head of the Attire, are both very fond of Ho for she is a kind-hearted young girl. Soon, they start fighting for the fellowship of Ho.

Ho always remembers her mother’s words left to her before she passed away, that she was told, ‘Doing good deeds, Speaking good words, Showing goodwill’. She lives her life of being gracious and kind-hearted in the palace. On the other hand, Ling believes her survival in palace is achieved through cruel and calculating tactics. She cheats and schemes her way to the top and finally becomes the concubine. Though she realizes that Ho has fallen in love with the chess master Ko Hin Yeung (Kevin Cheng), her jealousy still arouses by Ho’s attraction to the Emperor Lee Yi (Moses Chan). Fearing that she is losing power, she ruthlessly makes up a false allegation against Ho for murdering the Empress (Mary Hon) and condemns her to death. No matter how clever she is to scheme, things do not go the way she planned. By using a strong comparison of the two distinctive characters, Ho and Ling, the message of the drama is that “benevolence” is the only way to gain final victory.
