Start: Do not be intimated by the first impression of the series. There is a bit of confusion in the beginning, sorting everyone and everything out, trying to link and understand the "big picture" and pretty much, knowing who everyone is. Continue to watch the series, because in my opinion it was good. Okay, maybe not all, but some. And it does get pretty interesting near the ending. I know ... you have to... read more

Cast: Moses Chan Gigi Lai Yoyo Mung Anne Heung Mandy Cho Sharon Chan Storyline: 'The Charm Beneath' is a very complicated series because of its rather complex storyline. As you can tell from the Chinese title 'Yin Zhi Sui Fun' (in Cantonese) it is about makeup. The Zhu family is managing a makeup shop called 'Geng Fa Tong' (in Cantonese). They go through many family and business troubles because the other side of the Zhu family, the second uncle and aunty, are... read more

I thought this was a pretty good series, rather interesting plot and decent acting. Sadly it was rather under-hyped as compared to some other serials. Gigi was excellent in here (even more so than some of her other works); great crying scenes (esp at her father's death bed), was witty, sarcastic and intelligent all at once..plus she looked really classy and sophisticated as a wealthy lady.

This movie was actually really cool and addictive cuz you could see that the evil 2nd uncle and aunt were clearly after the Zhu family's cash...it was very good of a movie but I think that Gigi was one of the best actresses who should NOT be given crying scenes...I mean, she's a really good actress but she is really terrible at crying!
yeah I agre that moses and yoyo look very good together.. very cute! lol and Gigi definately did a great job in this serie..i used to hate her.. but after seeing this, my perspective changed about her, she matches with the character very well. I think Mandy Cho did an okay job here, since she doesnt have much experience, she was kinda cute here.. but considering it didnt look like she came from japan at all.. so anyway. I also agree that Sharon was also very cute in this
good
