This was ok to pretty good, though, whoever said this will become a classic was way over-rating it.
The script was good. The story was ok (parts of it was not believable). The leads.. well, this is the first TVB serial since the early 90s I have watched. So the only familiar lead to me is Deric. The other male and female leads.. well, I hate to say it, are not as good looking as the ones in the early 90s.
It good to see Deric in a HK serial again after many years. As always, he's a very good actor. I'm a big fan of him and Maggie Siu. I do notice, however, in this serial, that he lost some of the subtlety in his acting. In the past, like in "Blood of Good and Evil" and "Looking Back in Anger", you can tell by his acting that he was really into the character, every part of his face moved. There was a spark to him. In this, however, he lost that spark. His eyes were not as "animated", it's as if part of his face was botoxed (like his upper lip). Not only was there no perfect chemistry, there was no chemistry between him and the three wives. Watching this make me miss the serials I mentioned above.
I have to say, though, that the story wrapped up very nicely. That was definitely a plus.

The plot wasnt too spectacular but I must say it was thoroughly enjoyable. I agree that Derrick is better off as a bad character (I heard that in one of his older series, he was so evil that the audience literally hated him). When I want to watch romance series, I usually dont go for HK ones and it is refreshing to have a series where the protagonists aren't involved in a relationship. Definitely recommend watching.

I liked the way Derrick did his character...I find that he is better off as a bad character than a nice,straight guy like in Golden Faith.

i thought it was fresh that the leads didn't have a romantic story line
