Characters
Sunny Chan is an insurance salesman who would do anything to please his clients. He would even sink his dignity so low just so his clients would buy some insurance. Everything he does is to please his boss, Shek Sau. But underneath all that butt-kissing, he is a really kind person who cares for everyone around him.

After finding out her fiancé cheated on her, Melissa Ng decided to build a strong career so she can take care of herself. Since she has a bad impression of Sunny, she is always arguing with him and trying to get him fired. When it comes to business she is very strict but she always has a soft side.

Kenneth Ma is Sunny's lazy carefree brother. He intended on just getting by in life with his mediocre bar and bar games. When he finally decided to make use of himself, he became bored and returned back to himself. However, he eventually learns that his lazy self can't get him through life, so he changes altogether for the better.

Cherri Kong is Melissa's cousin and daughter of a ganger's wife. All her life she craves for love but since her mother doesn't believe in a good man, she always interferes, causing all of Cherrie's boyfriends to run away from her. When she met Kenneth, he made her more determined to prove to her mother that there is such thing as a good man.

Relationships
Melissa and Sunny (Hazel and Ken)
They start off as worst enemies who hate each other with a passion. Even though they hate each other, they still came up with the same idea for "love insurance". To promote the new idea, they were forced to become fake lovers. However, they soon developed feelings for each other when they both saw the other person's true self. But of course like most TVB series, misunderstandings kept them from really being together until the end.

I actually like watching them grow as a couple. It's so cute how they both like each other but thinks that the other person doesn't feel the same way so they get all jealous. Sunny is so funny when he tries to impress Melissa.

Kenneth and Cherrie (Tim and Maggie)
They have a weird relationship at the beginning which made me kind of confused. Kenneth liked Cherrie but when he saw her necklace he dumped her. He even tried to hook up Jack Wu and Cherrie but then it turns out that he likes Cherrie all along. I was so confused with that part. Even though they were the semi supporting couple, I think that they went through more than Sunny and Melissa. Overall I like them more then Hazel and Ken.

Rain Lau and the guy that I don't know (Sorry if you're a fan of his)
Their relationship was kind of too sudden. There was not much depth so I don't have much to say about it.

Favorite*
Kenneth wins my favorite character award! He is so sweet and funny in here. His crying scene was not the best that I've seen but it is pretty good. He made mistakes but then he changed because of those mistakes, so that's why I like his character so much. I definitely like his acting in here more than LFD. In there it feels like he was trying too hard to be funny but in here he acts more naturally.

Least Favorite*
I guess there wasn't any particular character that I didn't like in this series.

Last Thing
I loved the Paul Chun's dog. This may seem weird that I have a part in my review for a dog but I am an animal lover so I will put this part in here anyway. Po was so cute, but then he had to die. It was so sad when he ran away from home and was hurt but it was even sadder when he died. I wish I had a dog like him, just not a dead though.
