At first, she was mad but then she agrees to marry him. Lee Chi Hung starts to have an affair with Liz Kong. She convinces him to sell Paul's company to a Western corporation. Paul refuses and decides to sue Lee Chi Hung for breach of contract stating that by selling his company, the Chinese tradition will be lost. Eileen is Paul's lawyer whereas Lee Chi Hung's lawyer is her ex. They get Kong Wah (an Chinese-American) to prove which style of sewing is better. Because of some differences in the past, Kong Wah's sect had to leave China in shame. So he hates Paul's sect and thought to disprove his talent. In the end, both of them admire each other's handiwork. Kong Wah admits defeat. Paul wins the case. Liz Kong leaves Lee Chi Hung because he now owns a lot of money to the Westerner.

Fennie marries Edmond. Lillian marries Carlo. Christine discovers that she has a brain tumor. She leaves Jackie to die alone. Three years past. Marianne becomes a very successful businesswoman. Jackie travels around taking restlessly seeking the perfect picture. Jackie walks into a coffee shop. The only table that is available is the one Marianne is sitting at but since her back is to him, he doesn't recognize her. He sits down and realizes that it is his ex-wife. His expression express the shock and admiration of this new her. They start to talk and the series ends. Overall, this series is mainly about love and relationships. It's an okay series but there are some really boring parts which I had to fast forward through. None of the characters really stand out. Unless you are a die-hard fan of any of these people, I recommend you wait till it comes on TV for free. Rating: $$ |
