Taste the bittersweet, breathe the love.Read my mind between silence and sound

Plot:
TONG TONG (Kate Tsui) loses part of her hearing in an accident but she has a positive attitude towards life and she knows how to take good care of others. With the support of her mentor KO MING (Yue Yeung), TONG becomes a voice over talent by utilizing her lip reading ability and she meets another voice talent LEUNG KAI YIN (Kenneth Ma) who also has keen interest in the industry. YIN is fond of the leading voice actress YUEN SIU NA (Claire Yiu) and he asks TONG to be his matchmaker. TONG suffers from a lack of confidence to exhibit her love to YIN so she prefers to help achieve his wish.

YIN and TONG soon become the famous couple of the industry and their career grows swiftly. However, TONG’s younger sister CHAI KA YEE (Elaine Yiu) suddenly commits suicide after losing her love. In order to rescue YEE, TONG loses her hearing completely. YEE is deeply ashamed for causing the tragedy and CHEUNG YAU (Chris Lai) consoles her whole-heartedly. After the trauma, TONG abandons herself completely and she hides away from everybody including YIN. During the time, MING’s voice over team suddenly breaks up and YIN is the only person staying behind. MING is helpless and he urges TONG to return.

Thoughts: I must say, even though i do not like Kate Tsui that much, I am ver eagerly anticipating this series as I had loved Kenneth Ma in Survivor's Law II. It seems like a very new, refreshing idea to have a deaf person in a series as I don't recall TVB having done that in the past. Yes, Hugo, I said it first, but God did answer our prayers for a series with a deaf person (only because it would be interesting). Hopefully, Kate will e able to impress me this time, as I did notice improvement in her acting in Steps.
