Mel, if you would like spoilers for Year of Chameleon 1997, read on:
click to show/hide spoilersGilbert and Annie were initially a couple. Their relationship was even an intimate one. Annie really loved Gilbert and believed they would soon get married. Alas, Gilbert was only fond of Annie and never truly loved her. He met and fell in love with the female villain of the series (played by actress Wong Mei). So he broke up with Annie and devastated her. Needless to say, it was not pretty.
The series was 61 episodes and had its fair share of boring moments. However, with a strong cast and good storyline, I remember enjoying it quite a bit. The romance between Annie and Gilbert was rather weak and lacked the chemistry they had in HOTY. Perhaps it is because the characters were not very endearing at all.
Eric Wan and Joey Meng were really adorable in the series. I kept watching because of them.
