The Sequel
It's been awhile since I last updated my LJ (^^; I have been too busy with school (plus lazy) and pretty much ignore updating my journal. Finally got to watch Heart of Greed's sequel Moonlight Resonance. Now, the buisness is related to moon cakes (though I must say that the shop did more than just moon cakes.) The storyline in this one is more intense, in a sense that the main family is divided because of the divorce. Jo bao went with the mushroom lady and took 3 sons with him, while Hor ma got 1 son and 2 daughters. Jo bao and Hor ma have 4 sons and 2 daughters: Ka (家), Ho (好), Yuet (月), Yuen (圓), Hing (慶), and Chung (中).
Overall, the series is enjoyable and quite captivating. It's quite "loud" with all the quarreling between the characters. The tension is build since the first episode, a bit different from Heart of Greed, that evolves from a happy family to a not-so-happy one. This one, we see the transformation of Jo bao and grandma, who seems like bad characters but they really aren't. So watch it if you like the first one, or even if you never watch the first one :P
- Ah Ka is the oldest of the family; he was taken into the father side because Hor ma asked him to look after the other two brothers for her.
- Ah Ho, the second son, is with his mother. He helped looking after the shop and wasn't able to study university. Family is his priority, which made him break-up with his girlfriend who cannot stand being put the second all the time.
- Ah Yuet is an adopted daughter of Hor ma, but everyone treats her as part of the family. She loves the family and will do anything to help them. She's quite straight-forward, and it usually brings her trouble.
- Ah Yuen, the third son, is with his father. He became a spoil child and was controlled by the evil stepmother. He used to believe that he was the cause of his stepmother's miscarriage, so he listened to whatever order she gave him.
- Ah Hing is the second youngest. She cannot talk, but can listen. She communicated with other through sign languages.
- Ah Chung is the yougest son and is with his father. He was sent to England to study but he eventually returned to Hong Kong and lived with Hor ma.
Overall, the series is enjoyable and quite captivating. It's quite "loud" with all the quarreling between the characters.
