Japanese cuisine chef CHUNG YAU-WO (Dao Tai Yu) has long been in love with his childhood friend KO YAU-MEI (So Yuk Wa), who is always interested in pursuing a career in showbiz. To realize her dream, WO lies to the press and refers to MEI as "a most talented chef of the time". With WO's help, MEI has finally landed a job as the host of a food program. As MEI is completely clueless about cooking, WO decides to do her a favor by offering to be her assistant, which irritates his mentor KO SHAU (Chun Pui), also father of MEI, beyond measure.
Although the food program turns out to be very popular, MEI often gets picked on by her half sister YIM LAI (Liu Bernice Jan) while at work. LAI is angry with SHAU for being bad to her mother and she means to make things difficult for MEI as revenge. In order to boost her fame and the ratings, MEI reveals to the media the private life of WO and herself, consequently leading WO's career to a downfall. To escape from the misery of failure in both career and relationship, WO decides to leave for Japan and starts a new life there. SHAU feels the need to give MEI a lesson and resolves to reveal the truth to the press. In the meantime, LAI has also exposed a long-kept secret of SHAU, which has severely tarnished his reputation in his field overnight.

My Comments:
I didn't like this series at all, it was so boring, the storyline was did bad and the cast, I don't like it either, I only like Bernice Liu. I actually missed some scenes and episodes of this series coz it was too boring, I couldn't be bothered watching it. I guess it's not really the cast problem, its the storyline, too boring and the last episode, it seems like theres another episode left or something, doesn't look like an ending to me. So, I don't have much comments to this boring series.
Main Cast Thoughts:
Michael Tao: I don't have any thoughts to this one actually, I don't know him that well but I guess he did well.
Louisa So: Also, for this one, I don't have much thoughts too, the series was just too boring, but how she acted to betray everyone, her acting skills are okay I guess.
Bernice Liu: Bernice improved in this one too, I liked how she lied to Dexter that 'Richard' (a person that sleeps all the time and don't know when they would wake) is her boyfriend so that Dexter would stop chasing after her. But then later, Bernice fals in love with him, also it funny when she broke her leg and then Dexter confesses his love to her and she said she won't let me comfess love to her when her leg is broken and when she is like one head lower down.
Dexter Young: I haven't seen him in any series, this is the first time, I hear my parents say he's a son of an actress, he did okay, but not that good, he needs to improve more.
