Episode 1 to 20:
Aiming to become the best tour guide in the industry, Roger Kwok (Ng Ka-yee 吳嘉儀) sets up a travel agency with his girlfriend Angela Tong (Szema Shuk-ching 司馬淑貞). The pair slogged hard to earn money to clear off the debts as a result of a money scam. However, both Roger and Angela have different ideals and principles in the running of the travel agency which affects their relationship. In one incident, Angela, being the tour guide, brought a mainland tour group to several places of interest alllocating minimal time for sight-seeing. She allocated the entire afternoon for shopping and forced the tour group to stayed in the shopping area so that they can purchase the items and she can earned commission off the amount. Wong Cho Lam was one of the tourists and was upset with the kind of service provided, he came up with a plan and managed to play a prank on Angela. In the coach, Angela was reprimanding the tour group harshly and the whole scenario was recorded down and made available online. Because of that, Angela was forced to stay at home to avoid the reporters. Never did she know that Wong Cho Lam (Choi Sum 蔡芯) was Roger's Dongguan cousin. Wong Cho Lam came to Hong Kong as he hoped to explore singing opportunities to realise his dream of becoming a singer. During his search, he chanced upon Mimi Chu (Monrole), an old singer who always have trouble making ends meet. Cho Lam decided to take singing lesson from Mimi to hone his singing skills. Together with Roger's sister, Ivana Wong (Ng Chi-ching 吳芝晴), May Chan (Mo Siu-man 毛小曼) and Corinna Chamberlain as (Nip Siu-sin 聶小茜), they formed a group called "Oh Baby" to sign up for a group singing competition.
During the preparation process, the truth finally came to light that Cho Lam's long dead mother is actually Mimi and his wealthy father deceived him that his mother was dead. Cho Lam took some time to accept the fact and the trio was finally reunited.
Meanwhile, Roger finally overcome the bankruptcy period and was planning to get married with Angela. Little did he knew that his best friend, Bob (Ching Siu-shan 程少山) had an affair with Angela. While Angela accepted Roger's proposal and intend to married him, she found out that she is pregnant, the baby belonged to his best friend. After much struggling to make a decision, Angela decided to leave and left a letter to Roger to convey her explanations. Bob managed to track down Angela eventually and provided a home and other necessities for her while waiting for the baby to be delivered.
Roger is extremely devastated as he lost both Angela and his company business is going downhill where he had to handle all the operations at the tour agency by himself. Luckily, through constant consolation by his friend, Joey Meng (Yik Suet-fei 易雪飛), a newly immigrated social worker, he managed to stand up. From then on, his career was quite successful and he was nominated as the spokesperson for the tourism board. His achievements rose jealously from Bob who also kept on imagining that Angela still have feelings for Roger. Despite Roger's explanation that he already has a new girlfriend, Joey, Bob was not convinced and even went to the extent of sabotaging Roger's business. However, his plan backfired and he was on the run as due to his wrongdoings. Bob and his gang was desperate for money while on the run and kidnapped Cho Lam and Joey. The kidnap scene was the most hilarious one and not as serious as those you watched in other series. =)
Of couse, in the end, all was saved and the only regret is "Oh Baby" did not win the competition because they left the competition halfway to visit Cho Lam's dad in the hospital whose operation was screwed up. But in the end, he was perfectly fine and discharged from hospital.
My thoughts:
If you are looking for scenes that portray cultural differences between Mainland China and Hong Kong, this may not be the series for you as it touches only 2 episodes. However, this series is commendable for it's realistic, heart warming and light hearted storyline together with the "old days" background music that brings this series to life.
