    Official Synopsis
    You may wish to be a famous socialite.
    You may wish to have fame and fortune.
    But is that really what you will wish for at the end?


    In PAK SIU-YAU (LEE SZE KEE, LOUISE)'s eyes, her three daughters are just as perfect as diamonds. She believes that the greatest blessing for a woman is to marry a wealthy man. To guarantee a better life for her daughters, she has started training the girls since they were young, hoping that they will marry into the richest families when they mature.

    YAU's first daughter HONG NGA-YIN (SHIU MEI KI, MAGGIE) does not agree with her on her values. Yet when she sees that the man YIN is going out with is KO CHEUNG-SING (LAM, BOWIE), who is very well-off, she decides to let YIN go with her choice. YAU's second daughter HONG NGA-TUNG (LAI CHI, GIGI) is hopelessly romantic but does not seem to have much luck with men. To make it up to her, YAU seeks to match her up with HO CHIT-NAM (CHAN HO, MOSES), the son of Hong Kong's most powerful business tycoon HO FUNG (YUEH HUA). Being the youngest in the family, HONG NGA-SZ (CHOI SIU FUN, ADA) is well aware of YAU's concerns. Having recovered from divorce, SZ now decides to pin all her hopes on FUNG.

    YAU's persistence pays off and her daughters have all found a wealthy husband. But money does not really bring them happiness and the sisters are gradually losing themselves in vanity.

    Extra Information
    The series will revolve around the struggle and rivalry of three sisters in the world of diamonds and jewels business which depicts an intricate, moving story.
    It will have a theme based on the ideas of everlasting.

    Set against the backdrop of the diamond and jewelry trade, the theme will explore whether certain aspects of life are as dazzling. Whether there is eternity or not depends on people's moral qualities. Perhaps after some polishing, the same brilliance shown in diamonds can be achieved, illuminating one's life.

    Let's hope the story is good, especially for an 80-episode drama

    Curious about the cast and plot.

    A Tale of Two Cities

    Producer: Chik Kee Yi

    Type: Grand Production

    Cast: Unconfirmed

    Duration: 80 episodes

    More info will be updated soon!

    I don't think it's 80 episodes. I saw a sales presentation of 2006 series/shows and it also mentioned two Grand productions with 60 episodes each. One is with Michael Miu (comfirmed) but I forgot what it is about . And this must be the other one.

    By the way I hope this series won't be a disapointment. Chik Kei Yee produced Blade Heart right?

    This is definitely going to be 80 eps. The Changing Times and this series are going to have 140 episodes total.

    Um, this is probably a stupid question, but it should probably be asked: TVB is *not* adapting the famous Charles Dickens novel of the same name, is it?

    I hope not. CKY did not disclose the synopsis, but mentioned that it will be a 'different' series abt family power struggle. But then again, TVB are not that creative...

    I expect the same scriptwriter for WAB and DOP though.

    I dont think this is the same as the Charles Dicken's novel. Dicken's novel was about the struggle of the French Revolution. I remember I read somewhere (dont know if it was true) but the series will be about a family who come from Macau to Hong Kong and became rich or something.

    Ah He will be breaking his habitual low output from November onwards, when he will be filming until next September in one hundred episodes of series for TVB, including one 20 episode series and one 80 episode series.

    eh?? dont remember him in to catch the uncatchable. Maybe u mean 'Net Deception' or 'Shades of Truth'.

    Great actor, one of the best TVB actors. Just have to look at the series he's starred in to show what a popular actor he is with the public.

    Maybe he will play a typical Wong Hei character - cop, lawyer, firefighter, customs officer etc. etc.
    Have you come here to play Jesus?
