Synopsis
There is nothing new under the “moon”.
Generations come and go, but the “love” remains forever.
Chung Siu Hor (Lee See Kei) and her husband Gam Tai Jo (Ha Yu) have been working hard for many years to establish a famous reputation for their Moonlight Cake Shop. However, Hor discovers that Jo committed adultery with her best friend Yan Hung (Michelle Yim Mai Suet) and she breaks up with him miserably. Hor brings along her children Gam Wing Ho (Raymond Lam Fung), Gam Wing Hing (Fala Chen Fat Lai), and her adopted daughter Suen Ho Yuet (Tavia Yeung Yi) and sets up another cake shop for a living.
Hung moves in to live with Jo and she starts playing tricks in the family. She tries pleasing her mother-in-law Sheh Kwan Lai (Lee Heung Kam) in every way while disuniting her stepsons and Jo. Outside the family, Hung starts expanding their business rapidly. Hor’s younger sister Chung Siu Sa (Susanna Kwan Kuk Ying) is displeased. Sa decides to fight for the ownership of their cake shop’s brand name in court with Hung. Their relationship with Hung further deteriorates.
Apart from the cake shop business, Hor also spends a lot of efforts on her children. Her oldest son Gam Wing Ga (Moses Chan Ho) is not interested in managing the cake shop at all and he indulges himself on stock trading. He also develops an entangling relationship with his cousin Lo Ga Mei (Kate Tsui Tsz Shan) and Yuet at the same time.
On the other hand, Hor’s younger son Wing Ho takes up the role of a father in the family and he works hard all of the time to earn a living. Wing Ho loves his childhood friend Chau (Linda Chung Ka Yan) whole-heartedly, but Chau is in love with the doctor Ling Chi Shun ( Bosco Wong Chung Chak).
Hor works hard unconditionally to strive for the well being of her family members. Hung, on the other hand, is a very mean person who values her own benefits only. Jo is caught between the two women all of the time and he feels helpless. One day, a disaster happens at the cake shop. Here comes a time when human nature, family bonds, and love are brought to a trail…
My review
Lee See Kei’s role this time is a carefree, good person. She frequently tells gags to make people laugh. However, when she lectures, she will still speak “golden words”. She is often teased as being “fat” by Susanna Kwan.
It seems that Moses went from “Dak Dak Dei” to “Gwai Gwai Dei”. For a very rich stock genius, “Ah Ga” looks strange, nerdy, and outdated with his big glasses. Although Moses’ outfits were quite “interesting” and old-fashioned in Heart, at least he didn’t look creepy and in the end changed to more “modern” clothes.
“Yu So Chau”-Linda is a very calm and intelligent girl. She’s similar to “Seung Joi Sum”, but not as emotional and will not have so many excessive crying scenes
Tavia’s role is similar to her role in the last series. She will be someone whose life is suppressed, but her nature is still happy. She has quite a lot of scenes where she will be taunted by Susanna.
Raymond’s role is a 100% good person with no flaws. He cares very much about his family. Linda says their relationship is complicated and blurry because they are “siblings” [but not blood-related of course]. It also doesn’t help that Linda’s mom is evil and hurts and plots against Raymond’s mom over and over again. Their romance will be painful and full of drama indeed. Raymond and Linda both hope to take their chemistry to another level and promise to bring something “new” to the audience.
This time, Michelle Yim will be the villain. She looks so scary that she’s hiding her very pretty natural hair underneath this horrendous wig. It’s distracting and makes her look old and scary. I know she’s a villain and all, but does her evilness have to be embodied physically? It’s not convincing to me that a rich woman would opt for such a look.
Fala Chen role and performance is very adorable and charming based on some of the pictures that have been released from filming. I also think that she will do voice-overs to “translate” her dialogues in sign language to the audience. After so many roles as a 'not very nice girl' ( like in Journey, I think this is her cute role to help her gain female fains. It will also be very fresh to watch her I think. I hope Fala does a good job and continues to improve.
Kate Tsui also stars in this series. She herself is also a troublemaker. Because of her greed for money, she pursues Moses’ character. The story says that Kate and Susanna returned from Portugal, so they have to speak Portuguese and English.
I really dislike her very much with her bad acting. Even though she had won the Best Improvement Actress, but I still doesn't like her performance, where her acting is actually quite fake. I really doesn't know why TVB can let her act in this series.
Change please! LOL
Back to this series, I really like this poster. It's just look like the precious series,but it more classic with the moon. The black background would also give the series a more “mysterious” and dramatic feel. Beyond that, I don’t much fancy the facial expressions of some of the cast members. It’s doesn’t look too flattering.
I can't wait to watch this drama. Hehe...
