Quick Summary
The show is about four women who are waiting for their prince charming to appear one day. They always fall in love with a guy on first sight but the guy will either end up being a murderer or a victim. For the first 10 episodes, there will be a murder and the case will be solved all in one episode. The cases are quite predictable and the storyline is weak. I would say this show is a total bore and just skip it unless you have really NOTHING to do.

Character Analysis
Bonnie
Of all the four women, I like Bonnie the most. Why? Probably because she's the bitchest women of all four and I really like the way she swings her hand around and says, "Oh dear my finger is chipped again!" I just find it so amusing when she does that certain action! Her acting was, I would say better than the other three (maybe I'm being bias) but the way she potrays her image as a bitchy single taitai really makes me laugh!

Joyce
Joyce did a really good job in potraying her tomboylish role. She was the only women who didn't seem that intersted in all the men that she met (even though she was supposed to be) But I really like her dimples when she smiles. I can't really say much about her acting just that I would say she did a really great job in potraying her tomboy self.

Zhen Zhen
Zhen Zhen is the oldest women of all four. I'm not really into older women so I didn't really notice her through the show. She's afraid of letting people know her age (she's 37) and always trying to dress young and meet men who looks so much younger than her. Somehow that turns me off. Her acting was just average and she walks with a slight hunch. Let's just hope she would improve in her next show!

Zhu Zhu
I didn't really like Zhu Zhu in the show. She looks like she had just undergone a nose operation and her voice seems more high pitched than usual. I wouldn't say her acting was good but rather it was just above than average. She's the owner of a cafe and .. I just don't know how to continue about her.

Best Scenes
1. Whenever they go in search of pubs and dress their best, the cameras will show them from head to toe and we can take in their wonderful figures.

2. When Florence Kwok was actually a lesbian! I just like it when the scence shows her running her hand down the face of her partner!

3. When the four of them went to the house wanting to save the detective but ended up being drugged and in bed with him instead

Bad Scenes
1. Plenty of Boring Scenes
2. When the first 10 episodes shows a murder and being solved in a day, it is just so unrealistic!

Afterwords
The storyline is really weak and the fact that murder cases are being solved in a day is completely unrealistic! The acting was just average and the show actually just focuses on the four women being desperate for men and how badly they want to get married. The show also ended with the four girls being with the same man and asking the audience to make the choice for him. TVB is probably trying to create a happy ending here. And to think that this is an adaption of Desperate Housewifes. I would say watch this show ONLY if you have COMPLETELY NOTHING TO DO and HAVE ALL DAY IDLE AND WOULD LOVE TO WASTE YOUR TIME. If not, don't waste your time and money renting/buying the show!
