My interest on watching HK dramas started when Astro On Demand channel was introduced to Astro. There are over 50 channels all of them, showing the latest HK dramas. There is this one channel advertising the current dramas that are showing (Channel 303). One day while I was watching KBS World (Channel 303), I accidentally press the number 302. I did not even know that channel exist. At that time, the channel was advertising a drama called ‘The Seventh Day’. I thought it might be a good idea to watch the thriller since I have nothing to do. The channel was previewing episode 1 of the drama. I did not hesitated to watch it.
After watching…. WOW!!! Its so darn nice! No wonder HK dramas were so popular among my friends. As I say, the plot was amazing and the characters played a fantastic job. From then on, I started to develop an interest to watch HK drama. Sadly, I can only watch the thriller and advertisement because my dad did not subscribed the package (Channel 901-950) . In order to watch it, I had to purchase the drama (sob).
Below are my favourite HK dramas (for now la) and I decided to watch it after SPM…..

On the other hand, Hor struggles to earn a living by setting up her new bakery store.
Afer moving into the house, Hung, a mean woman who values her own benfits only, begins to play tricks in the family trying to distant Cho from Hor and his children. To help her accomplish this task, Hung tries to please her mother-in-law Sheh Gwan Lai (Lee Heung Kam) who has always had a deteriorating relationship with Hor and bribes Lai's sister, Sheh Lai Mui (Fung So Bor), and her son, Mak Yau Gung (Lei Seng Cheung) to stay by her side after Gung commits a crime against the bakery. Hung's actions anger Hor's sister, Chung Siu Sa (Susanna Kwan) greatly and she seeks to take back the Moonlight Cake shop brand name. So in order to do this, Sa takes action at court and this further causes the two families to drift apart.
Apart from earning a living, Hor spends her time on managing her family and teaching her children how to be good people. Ga is not interested in managing the cake shop at all and indulges in the stock markets making Hor very worrried about him. At the same time, Ga has become romantically linked to his cousing Low Ga Mei (Kate Tsui) at the same time as loving his adopted sister, Yuet at the the same time. This causes him to develop an incurable heart disease. Hor's other son, Ho loves Hung's daughter, Yu So Chau (Linda Chung) greatly since a child but Chau is in love with her colleague, Ling Chi Shun (Bosco Wong). This results into many arguments within the family causing to be even more dysfunctional. Hor's children receive much dispute from Sa. Sa teases Yuet for being adopted, Zhong for being half illiterate, Heng for being mute, Ho for being 'a nobody' and Ga for being a gambler. This causes Hor and her father, Chung Fan Dat (Chow Chung), to be angry with her. She is often scolded but never learns her lesson.
After getting her family back on track (Cho and Lai's relationship with her family greatly improved), Hung becomes jealous of Hor and creates plans to keep Cho away from their contact. She attempts to sell thirty percent of the assets to her ex-husband, Yu Hak Keung Lei Kwok Lun) to bribe Cho but her plans are spoiled once and once again. This eventually leads to Hung seeking legal action against Hor and Cho's family for the family.
