Summary:

In the heart of this gripping family drama is the rags-to-riches story of a tenacious woman and her steadfast husband, who start from humble beginnings in a small tea restaurant to build a formidable business empire. As their company flourishes, the couple faces the challenge of taking their business public, a move that stirs contention within the family, particularly from the husband's relatives and brother-in-law, who carry deep-seated prejudices and personal vendettas.

Adding to the complexity is a well-intentioned but legally troubled ally who sacrifices his own freedom to save the husband from legal peril. The patriarch sees an opportunity to assist another family's failing printing venture, proposing a merger that elicits further resistance, especially from his sister-in-law and younger brother. The existing class divide exacerbates tensions, as the self-proclaimed upper-class members of the other family look down upon the grassroots origins of this entrepreneurial couple.

As alliances shift and a merger eventually takes place, combining the two family businesses into a new conglomerate, the resulting turmoil is far-reaching. The fusion of wealth and modest backgrounds ignites strife, and a forbidden romance between the couple's son and the daughter of the other family only fans the flames, ultimately leading to a heartbreaking separation.

The emotional rollercoaster continues when the couple's elder daughter becomes entangled with a married man, adding a scandalous layer to the family drama. Meanwhile, the wife's brother finds himself caught in a complex and constant turmoil with a friend.

What unfolds is an epic narrative of business, love, and rivalry—a feud that has been brewing over time, ensnaring two families in a web of vengeance and passion, forever altering the destinies of all involved.

    The latest installment in a popular franchise falls short of expectations in many aspects. Despite high hopes and anticipation from fans of the previous series, this new drama fails to live up to its predecessors.

    On the positive side, the music by Susanna Kwan remains a standout feature, setting the tone for what could have been an intense and emotional journey. The love song performed by Hana and Vincent also stands out as a memorable addition to the series.

    The cast, featuring many familiar faces...

    from the original series, delivers strong performances, albeit overshadowed by the lackluster characters they portray. Relationships between the characters show promise, with some refreshing twists and genuine chemistry between certain pairs.

    However, the biggest letdown of this series is its lack of gripping drama and intensity. What made the previous installments so captivating is missing here, replaced by forced comedy and mismatched character portrayals that diminish the overall suspense.

    Character development is another weak point, with some actors struggling to bring life to roles that deviate significantly from their usual on-screen personas. One notable disappointment is Michelle Yim, whose character lacks the depth and intrigue that made her previous villainous roles so compelling.

    Despite its potential, this latest installment fails to reach the heights of its predecessors. While it may still be worth a watch for fans of the franchise, it falls short of capturing the essence that made the original series so iconic.
