Synopsis.Plot: The new series will focus on Lee Sze Kei getting her family back together in the background of bakery business. A big emphasize is put on Lee Sze Kei's relationship with her husband Ha Yu and kids Moses Chan, Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung, Fala Chen, Lai Lok Yi, Vincent Wan and Ha Yu's stepdaughter Linda Chung, besides her relationship with her adversary Michelle Yim and sister Susanna Kwan.

Romantic plots include Kate Tsui (Susanna Kwan's daughter) fighting against Tavia Yeung for Moses Chan, whilst she will also be involved with Chris Lai. There will be conflict between Raymond Lam and Bosco Wong (Linda Chung's colleague) for Linda Chung as Bosco Wong interferes as the third party between the loving pair. Susanna Kwan's character will have "sister-brother" relationship with Wayne Lai and Louis Yuen, meanwhile Fala Chen in her challenging role as a 'mute' girl will be romantically linked with Dexter Young.

Throughout the series, Lee Sze Kei will try to run a steady business on her own in a bakery shop while her other family members live out a dream life with a billion-dollar fortune and big house. Lee Sze Kei has the custody of Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Fala Chen, whilst Ha Yu has the other children. The series also focuses on Susanna Kwan, from her good heart, plotting "evil" ideas to get the family back together, while Michelle Yim plots to have the family stay apart from each other. Lee Heung Kam doesn't make things any easier as she prefers his son (Ha Yu) to have Michelle as his wife than Lee Sze Kei. They frequently call Lee, "that fat thing" and family problems will arise when the family meet each other again.

Thoughts: OMG!!! This long anticipated series is finally released! I think everyone's gone MR mad ever since the news spread there was going to be a second HOG. I appreciate that they are keeping the original cast, and even though it has a similar theme to HOG, its storyline differs. I have hope in this series, in that it will be as good as its prequel, maybe even better.

Thoughts: Will I watch it? Yes. I like Myolie and I have been awaiting a comeback from Gallen Lo. I thouroughly enjoyed watching Old Time buddies. He and Francis Ng were a good pair for the comedy. I also loved him in The 'W' Files playing Wei Si Lei. I am glad he had decided to stay and film a 41 episode series! Iwonder what series it is? Does anyone know?

Cast: Kate Tsui, Kenneth Ma, Chris Lai Lok Yi, Claire Yiu, Elaine Yiu, Kingdom Yuen
Episode: 20
Producer: Tsui Yue On
Scriptwriter: Ng Shiu Tung & Tsui Tze Shan
Synopsis:
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.
