Just 2 weeks ago I'd popped in the series' DVD into the player to watch this series which Mom recommended. Like most acclaimed HK series, the drama was immediately gripping.
The funny part was that Mom only handed me the 1st 2 discs, the 3rd disc is back home. The final 13 episodes are back home tucked away in the family TV entertainment collection. And I had just finished episode 27 just 2 nights ago. Argh~ the agony of soap operas ending with a cliffhanger.
Among the characters, I feel particularly connected to the eldest sibling of the children in the Tong family. The trials & tribulations which he had to go through I can pretty much relate a lot. The need to set a fine example to our younger siblings. To take charge of keeping the family together when our parents are no longer around. Inheriting the will of our parents & their values to face a world full of morally-gray areas. Making painful decisions based on those principles for the greater good. Occasionally it brings a tear to my eye that if I could ever become the man my parents aspire me to become.
*Sigh* Better not think about... as if pressure from work is not enough.
I'll temporarily be spending the long weekend here overseas. Hopefully when I get back home next week there is time to wallop the remaining episodes. Then perhaps I can move on to something more current, like, Gem of Life. hehe

I heard the gem of life more for scheming and stuff - a bit more lui yan....this one you're watching has more family drama to it. THink you'll actually like this one more.
Hate that Dr. girl that cries a lot. It seems like that's her only function in the drama..
Dr. Girl? U meant lawyer girl, right?
Yeah, in this series, I also find the triangle (or 4-way) relationship between the lawyers very cheong hei
