Chor Ci almost caused many other neighbours to lose their homes. Chor Ci also spoilt his father's relationship with the con-lady So Fung Nei (Myolie Wu).

Just started watching this series as not so busy with studies now. It's quite funny and good for a laugh. I think Myolie is a little too exaggerrated but maybe thats for the comedy effect. The girl that plays Myolie's sister is pretty good too, her name I beleive is Mandy Wong.
