Kwong Wa is physically awkward in this series. He has no charisma or sense of a mob lord like Chow Yun Fat. His physique is so fragile--I can kick him and he'll collapse. Don't get me wrong, I like him in certain roles but not this one.

Gigi is constantly playing the definition of emotions, never really feeling the emotions. Enough said. I wish Bernice Liu was cast in this role instead, at least she'd be a better dancer. And for God sakes, if you're gonna dub Melissa Ng's singing voice with Priscilla Chan, why not dub Gigi Lai's singing voice too, her singing is terribly lacking.

Moses & Anne do not have any chemistry. Might have been a better collaboration with Maggie Cheung, who was originally cast for the part. For Moses and Anne, whenever they're talking to each other, it's like two strangers reading lines. No sexual tensions, no feelings. Anne was alright in here but not very interesting to watch. Very boring. Moses is attempting to fill a role that should have gone to Gordon Lam. At time successful in his portrayal of a stubborn country-bumpkin, he really lacks emphathy for the character. I would have preferred Maggie Cheung and Gordon Lam in these roles.

The story is not bad, but could have been a lot better. Those TVB writers are so lazy!

Consider me biased towards the fascinating 1920s era and the qipao theme. The story is entertaining, although flawed at times. Characters-wise, I feel that the secondary characters are the ones who made the show watchable. In all, I think the series is worth a watch, but don't expect too much from it.

This show was OK but it didnt interest me that much. I think it was kinda boring to watch but the actors did pretty well it's just the storyline that was boring.

I wasn't really interested in the series. I began watching the begining then lost interest slowing to the end,this series wasn't very good and the cast didn't gave a good performance as I expected. The story line was kind of boring and the ending wasn't good either.So yeah,I don't quite recomend this series.

This series really interested me in the beginning. Towards the end I started to lose interests because the main character [Moses Chan] was beginning to go crazy… I really didn’t think that it was a good idea to end it in such a way. Gigi Lai’s character in this series was a little over exaggerated. I think she doesn’t suite the type that is always so innocent. I Really liked her performance in Fate Twisters. Maybe because she was evil but I think he personality and facial expressions are suited for that type. I think the most favourite thing about this series is that it really gives Chinese people a good idea of what the “kay po” really was and why it was so important. Over all this series wasn’t so bad it’s worth giving it a try.
