Promise you love me, honor and keep me, for better or worse, in sickness and in health.

Chow Chi Yu (Myolie Wu) once adopted a stray dog TAI PA but it brought virus to her father’s kennel and all the dogs inside are dead tragically.

Later, Yu met TAI PA’s little brother SIU PA but her boyfriend Ying Hoi Leung (Raymond Wong) suggested her to keep it in an empty house nearby.

Miu Chun (Gallen Lo)’s girlfriend Kaka lost her life while saving her dog TAI PA in a traffic accident. Chun was devastated and he abandoned the dog while keeping Kaka’s beloved cat CANCAN with him. Chun moves in to his new home but he is enraged to discover SIU PA has been raising there secretly by Yu, his neighbour as well as his coworker at advertising firm. While seeing each other day and night, the battle between the “cat” and the “dog” becomes never-ending.

Chun accidentally uncovers a secret relationship between Yu and Leung. Yu turns to Chun for advice since she has found that Leung has affair with another woman. The two of them gradually develop feelings on each other but they don’t know how to express themselves. During the time, Man Chi Kei (Bernice Liu), the daughter of the big boss, suddenly pursues Chun. Chun finally realizes who his true love is but the timing is just not right.

Personal Comment:
I just finish watching the first few episode and it is really funny especially Gallen being so cold towards everyone including his co-workers. Be expected to watch Gallen and Myolie arguing all the time. I can’t remember if I saw any drama where Gallen was the bad person. I still love his character in Golden Faith. One of my favorite. By the way, the voice over for the SIU PA sounds like the voice for Cooking Master Boy anime.
