Just started on this TVB series.. and loving it.. already..! quite fun. .but almost seems like the storyline.. has been used before. But since I’ve only seen 2 episodes of it.. I’ll probably have to watch more to give you more on what I think about it.
20 episodes altogether.. and one of my favourite actress is in it.. Charmaine Sheh is in it. I am particularly fond of her… because I started watching her .. when she first became a TVB actress… and that must have been a good 10 yrs now… but she still looked so sweet and young.
