The cast looks like they are all HK artist with the exception of Mike He and Hawick. The hair styles just look bad on the women.

Myolie's Character Info (Chin Moon Goon)

Chin Moon Goon was just like her name. Loving money like her life, all she thought about was to hope to marry a wealthy man. A pity in her life, she met Tit Cheung Sang. Originally, because he was wearing a better-looking outfit, she assumed that he was a wealthy person. She tried all ways to get into his good books, and only wanted to marry him. It was until she fell in love with him then she realized that he was actually a poor man. However, she could not turn back anymore, and could only marry him. Thus she worked very, very hard to groom him into a wealthy man. However, her money-hungry personality was being despised by the 2nd daughter-in-law, Kam Yuk. Thus a huge battle was about to ensue between these sisters-in-law. Though Chin Moon Goon wasn't able to triumph over the good and kept on getting defeated, she was still very favored by her mother-in-law, Ling Lung. With her mother-in-law's support, she became the housekeeper for the family, and successfully kicked Kam Yuk out of the picture. However, she had not earned money before, so what to do? At this moment, she discovered a treasure map......This is a maturation story of a smart lady, and also a money-hungry lady's story filled with sufferings. In the end, of course......Don't tell you! All in all, the actress will have a huge breakthrough!

Hawick Lau[(Tit Cheung Sang):
What kind of comedic effects will there be when Ng Man Tat falls in love with Kingdom Yuen? All of us can imagine that ourselves. But no matter how’s the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we must still not neglect the man, who’s stuck in the middle, in the drama – Hawick Lau. As the first male lead, he’s kind-hearted, righteous, didn’t like to talk. He’s the typical honest, good man. His mother’s hope towards him was that he could find a gentle lady from a clean family background. However, he fell in love with a money-minded lady who’s only interested in marrying a wealthy man. At the same time, the young mistress at his workplace was infatuated with him and wanted to take him as her own. Both people had an intense fight. Facing the romance luck falling all over him, the simple-minded man used a different method to handle the situation. In the end, the silly, lucky man won the lady’s heart. But though the lady loved him, she loved money even more. Thus under her grooming, she started to train him on the capability of earning money. Out of an accident, he became an official. When he thought that the good days were approaching, the war unexpectedly began again. Without any battle experience, in order to get out of the arguments between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he determinedly ventured to the battlefield. Then……Wait till the drama to be out to find out more!

It looks like a decent mix of Mainland-HK artists to me (actually, more of the prior than the latter). Hawick is from HK although he's ventured into mainland dramas in recent years.

Other than Dai Jiao Qian and Hawick, the cast isn't really appealing to me. As for the English translation of the title, 俏 means smart, not pretty. After all, a daughter-in-law who can satisfy her mother-in-law is one smart cookie. ;)

^^ you're right. I noticed alot of the cast are from his "mei ren xin ji" series.

I actually really like Shirley Dai. She's one of a few actresses who plays comedy really well. Her youthful face is just too cute.I think her pairing with Mike He is rather cute. I also like Hawick.

Again i can not get over myolie's hair...eek...and her colorful customes.

Most of Yu Zheng's work are all pretty good so i'll wait and see.

LOL, the last set of pics of the youngest couple are really funny! Myolie Wu's face seems to be getting daintier and prettier. Dig the costume color combinations. However, clothing in this particular period is never really flattering to the female figure. The hairstyles are iffy and heavy looking.

Hehe. They look like a cute couple already. It'll be exciting to see Mickey's humorous side after Beauty Scheme.

Yu Zheng just updated on the drama. ;D

Yu Zheng really likes to use the same cast. I just saw him update on another drama and he's using Mickey He, Hawick Lau and Gao Hao. Michelle Ye seems to be the main lead for that one.

Yu Zheng did another update ;D

Is it cold much where they are? It sure looks it with the high fur collared costumes. They must all be really slim to wear what looks like layers and still be thin on camera. Some people have all the luck, I swear, or discipline.

Hairstyles are still horrendous.
