Overview:
This story follows the lives of two women: Melissa Ng (Go Ling), the typical traditional woman dominated by the men in her life. Contrasted to her is Sheren Tang (Hilda), the epitome of the modern, successful and independent woman. They work for a company called Pluto and become great friends despite their different personalities. Their love lives are complicated; Melissa is paired with a man seven years her junior, Raymond Lam (Siu Chai), who loved her ever since he was 13. Because of their age difference, they face many problems, such as their family's opposition and their own internal struggles. Sheren, meanwhile, has a one-night stand with Melissa's ex-husband, Michael Tse (Ah Man), who is seen as a real jerk at first. However, their bond grows and we find out than Ah Man is really a kind person.

Review:
A very light-hearted and entertaining drama.. cant stop once i started..
Although the theme is not at all new (eg a career oriented woman, 姐弟恋), the plot is rather intense with twists here and there, keeping me on e toes.. the characters are well developed and believable (they are not the perfect or too-good-to-be-true type), everyone has his/her flaw(s) and each go thorough a series of ups and downs, making the characters 有血有肉，有欢笑有泪水。
I personally prefer the office scenes than the love scenes, especially the first few episodes.. reminds me of 'War and beauty' although the level of viscious is nowhere there. the love scenes are onli okay, dun realli feel the chemistry between the various characters except between
kenneth and kate.
Ah Lik (Kenneth) & Ida (Kate)
For the acting, Sheren Tang realli did an excellent job in this drama! Im already impressed by her acting in 'War & Beauty' and she delivered again in this drama. she fitted the role perfectly. she is so natural in this drama, and handles her emotions very well. and i love wat she wear in the drama, super stylish and elegant.. hmm, perhaps i shd go take note of wat she wear in more details so i know wat to buy for my office wear.. and also have this urge to go shoppin in HK.. heh..
Then i also like Raymond Lam!! he looks handsome in this drama!! lol.. usually he looks better in period drama than modern drama so imagine my delight when he looks so shuai in here.. hee
All in all, this is a highly recommended drama. Be sure to watch it!
