Some Spoilers Ahead

Plot:
This show is mainly about fashion designing. Nick Yau (Tse Kwan Ho) is a top designer in Hong Kong. During a flight back to Hong Kong, he meets Michelle (Myolie Wu) on the plane accidentally Soon Nick finds out that Michelle is the grand-daughter of Nick's teacher. At the end Nick ends up hiring Michelle, Ella (Sharon Chan) and Fifi (Rain Lee) to his company.

Comments:

Nick Yau as Tse Kwan Ho
A fashion designer who is really into only his style of fashion. Although he is a top designer, he does not know how to cope with his girlfriend Elaine (Melissa Ng). Near the end, he breaks up with Elaine and he was very sad. Soon afterwards, he dates Michelle (Myolie Wu). But I think he is better off with Elaine.

Wow. I loved the way Tse Kwan Ho acts. I've never seen him in other series but I think he did very well playing his character. I really hope TVB will promote him more. But I think he needs a little improvement on his facial expression. When he breaks up with Elaine, he didn't show a lot of his sadness. But overall he did great.

Myolie Wu as Michelle Koo
A girl who gets kicked out from school in L.A. and comes back to start a new life in Hong Kong. When she first work at Nick's office, she really dislikes Nick but soon she got to know him better and has a crush on him. The main reason Nick and Elaine broke up was that Elaine thought that Nick and Michelle would be better together.

Myolie's performance in this series was ok. Not too bad and not awesome. I don't really like her and after watching all of the series she has done, her performance didn't really improve. Her crying skills in some scenes were nicely done and all her expressions were very good too. In one point of the show where she was being teased by Ella, I actually felt sorry for her.

Sharon Chan as Ella Kwan
A graduate student from the Royal Academy Arts School who dreams to be a fashion designer. Michelle and Ella meet when she accidently tore Ella's dress. Ella hates her at first but soon gets along with Michelle when they got to know each other. When Ella and Michelle worked at the same office, Ella becomes jealous of Michelle because she is better than her.

Ella did a good job on her role being selfish and jealous towards people who are better than her. But I didn't like her own self very much either. I've only seen her in one other series "The Last Breakthrough". She wasn't too great to my point of view. Her role was done smoothly but meanly.

Rain Lee as Fifi
A childish girl who likes to play around a lot when she is working. She never takes anything too seriously. As long as her work is done, she doesn't really care about it anymore. When she can't stand Ella anymore, she works as a model and has a little success with it.

I've never seen Rain Lee in any other series before so I can't say much about it. Her role was a little strange but she did it well. Her childish look in some scenes disgusted me a little. I think Rain still needs to work on her acting skills a lot.

Melissa Ng as Elaine
Elaine is a top model in Hong Kong. She first dates Nick but soon she realizes that Michelle and Nick are better off together so she broke up with Nick. After awhile she dates Mario but soon breaks up with him too because she thinks she is not ready for another relationship yet.

I loved Melissa in this series! Her clothes, hats and everything she wore really shows what a model is like. I really disliked her dating Mario because I think that she and Nick have a very good look together. I actually blame the scriptwriter for that. Overall she did an excellent job on her role and I hope that TVB will give her a leading role to do soon.

Last Comments:
Overall, this show is really well done. Everybody did their roles well except for some parts. And the fashion was good too. I hope that they would do another show about fashion because this one was nicely done and I'm looking forward to a squeal.
