Heart Of Greed

This will be my wife's latest addiction every evening for, I think the next two to three weeks.
It's a 3 DVD series which was lent to me by RO. Initially I was very frustrated because Disc 1 couldn't play but Disc 2 & 3 could. Then I thought of an idea, why not try the laptop and voila! the disc could play. But it was not so shock watching such a small screen. Then I thought of a brilliant idea why not hook the laptop to the LCD TV. I tried with the cable that came with the TV and voila! again. It worked! That's advantage of and LCD TV. It was like watching a DVD on a normal DVD player.

So addictive was my wife to the show that she even called me up yesterday evening while I was playing badminton to ask me how to hook the laptop to the TV.
The plot focuses on Ha Yu's family feuding over his abalone business and assets after his death. Ha Yu's second wife, Kwan Kuk Ying often protests that Moses Chan Ho does not deserve the inheritance due to his illegitimate birth.

Since the series is 40 episodes long, there is also additional drama in the love relationships, centering around the 3 male leads, Moses Chan, Raymond Lam and Bosco Wong. Even Ha Yu is torn between 2 wives.
"Heart of Greed" also features veternan supporting actors such as Ha Yu, Michelle Yim Mai Shuet, Lee See Kei (first wife), and Kwan Kuk Ying with significant screen time. Michelle played an awesome villainess in "The Brink of Law," but it is Kwan Kuk Ying who assumes the evil mistress role in "Heart of Greed."

As the eldest son, Moses was originally believed to be adopted. Kwan often has disagreements with Ha Yu's first wife, Lee See Kei over splitting the inheritance.

Michelle Mai plays Lee See Kei's younger sister. However, she bears a shattering secret as it turns out that Moses is born out of wedlock between her and Ha Yu!

Better not go on or else my wife will kill me.

Hahaha...all those drama cannot compared to our Mollywood drama at our workplace lah.

Hmmm..perhaps we could co-write a drama series based on what we have here, sell it to TVB HK and then we will be rich and famous. Deal?
