Half-way through the series, thought I’d put something up about the characters ^^
Lawrence’s character [Chong Zhi Leung- Raymond] age 35. He is independent and hardworking, being the boss of [Trustworthy Property] after his father left the business to him. His first priorities in life is his job and money. This is evident in why he broke up with Nancy in the first place and hasn’t dated since. Because he is devoted in his work, he neglects his family and the people around him. He doesn’t put time on people~ which can be seen by the way he treats his father. Does not give him much attention (or show much care), which I think will cause problems in the future. I wouldn’t call him a filial son, even though he tries his best to run the company. He makes steady efforts and believes that as long as there’s one minute left, there is still opportunity to change the outcome. He has high expectations of his subordinates, which is a reason why he couldn’t tolerate that one of the agents bashed a client~ it was also a threat to his company..this is another example where Lawrence’s father disagrees on his actions. I hope he’ll change to be a better person. I don’t think he’ll make a good boyfriend either, though Yoyo may think. I guess they are both quite similar and dedicated to their work..
Yoyo’s character [Chui Zhi Ling -Elaine/ Ling] aged 29.
(Not sure why they had her character pic with that hair, since its left down most of them time if not all)
Harding working because she wants to earn money and save it for her brother to study overseas, so she strives to work hard for success. She also appears to use money very carefully which makes her seem to be a stingy person. From episode1, when she was a sales person at the beauty store, she would come to work just a minute before work starts (saying she only gets paid when the hour reaches, and not any if she comes a little earlier), and she uses the makeup from the store. There was another scene where she was hot, and she was opening the fridge at the convenient store to cool off, because it was ‘free’ in a scene. Gotta say she’s really good with selling makeup etc to the customers (top sales), which motivated her to be a real estate agent because of the income and seeing that selling makeup and convincing people to buy houses were similar. She plans out her life ahead. She pretty much supports her whole family (I don’t recall what her father and mother does). As the story progresses, she looks up to Lawrence and hopes to learn more from him. She puts other people’s happiness before her own . From all the female characters I’ve seen in this series, Yoyo is probably the most independent one who takes charge of what she wants to do. When she was younger, she had a crush on Raymond Cho’s character.
There are times when she’s with Lawrence and spending lots of time helping him get back with Nancy~ I just find that a little strange, cause it seems like they have so much times on their hands..and she seems very into it.

Chung King Fai’s character [Plays Lawrence’s father] Aged 60.
Always likes to help others. Funny guy and always giggling, esp when he’s excited about something (like his son has a potential girlfriend). He is trying to make up to his son for the past (too committed to his work- previously as a real estate agent before he handed the business over to his son, and didn’t spend much time with his wife or son. Really only realised when his wife passed away. He’s now retired)
He seems to be able to wise advice and profound philosophy about life. He’s quite careful in his thoughts and the things he says to people.
Gotta say, sometimes I find him annoying though, I guess its characteristics that come with old people.

Raymond ‘s character [Fok Ming Hin- Henry] aged 35. I think I’ve mentioned in my previous posts.. every time he appears on screen I think “what an idiot XD” The way he talks, the things he says, those actions and movements that come with it..it comes all in a package. He’s quite funny~ they tend to use that close-up odd angle camera shot on his face. Nevertheless, I like his character in the series because it lightens things up. I do enjoy watching him and Yoyo interact ^^; and still hope his character turns into a nicer person (though doesn’t look it at the rate its going so far) His character is boastfully vain. He flatters a lot and praises the upper-class, criticises the lower-class. He reaches top sales in his company. We don’t really ever see his genuine side, or ever see him act more normal, but from what we learn from Yoyo, he was a good boy when he was younger…he picked up oranges for a person who dropped them. He was also a top student at their school; very smart. Years ago, he worked at [Trustworthy Property] when Lawrence’s father was still working, and he left them for another company when it appeared their company was in crisis. However, he still likes to pretend that he treats [Trustworthy Property] as his family. Let’s see if his character changes =)
—
Nancy’s character [Fong Sin Man –Cindy] aged 26.(wow, younger than Lawrence’s charcter by 9 years…I wonder what age did they start going out?)
Lawrence’s ex-girlfriend and currently dating him again (as of episode 10) after they broke up. She has dated many guys in a short period of time, continuously looking for love, thinking that the guys don’t correspond to her. She relied on guys so much, until Yoyo made her see she needed to be more independent. She decides to open up a cafe (even though not having any experience).
Naive almost of the time, she acts like a little girl who hasn’t grown up yet. She does things as she pleases, and previously constantly nags Lawrence (after they broke up), wanting his attention every time she broke up. She thinks love is like a fairy tale and that true love is hard to find.
—
Ben Hiu’s character [Yan Gor] aged 45.
The agent with 2 wives and misleads his clients thinking someone rich/famous has lived at the unit before in order to convince them to agree to rent the place.
He as been working for[Trustworthy Property] for 18years. He doesn’t treat his first wife as nice as his “2nd” wife (having an affair). Seems to find his first one annoying even though she’s doing all her duties and as housewife. Nevertheless, it appears he wants to earn money so he can look after his 2 wives. (He doesn’t seem to have much shame telling everyone, but his wife, that he has two wives..
—
Carlo’s character (aged 25) playing the agent [Working for Trustworthy Property] that argues with people easily and constantly gets into fights without thinking of the consequences. (I’m surprised it wasn’t him to bashed someone up lol) He likes to try new stuff ..and have a scene of distinguishing people has grudges on and those he treats with gratitude. I’d say he’s rebellious~
—
Natalie’s character [Choi Ying Ying-Yuki ] aged 24.
Agent at [Trustworth Property]
She is a kind-hearted, shy, good-natured girl, who often lacks self-confidence. She appears to be scared and unable to make up her own decisions. She often stumbles when talking to the customers and is afraid to speak up if something is wrong, afraid of getting into trouble.
*Tries to be happy, though cries very easily
*Likes to eat cake when she’s upset, it makes her happy ^^ This is where she meets Yoyo’s brother.

Charles’s character [Plays Yoyo’s brother]– aged 20.
(so he’s younger than Natalie’s character by 4 years? Well, I suppose it makes sense since he’s still studying and she’s working) He’s a kind hearted person who is often bullied by others. Does not appear to be able to stick up for himself. He first appears at the convenient store and was totally scared and trying to avoid a girl who kept trying to get a go at him. This is where his elder sister Yoyo comes in to help him out. He’s a “good-boy” type of character, shy, quiet, type that wouldn’t do a bad thing in his life.
~~eheh..just look at the two ~him and Natalie..both so doepy-looking ey? xD~~
He is secretly working/baking cakes at a cake store without his family knowing. He’s supposed to be studying and will be going overseas in the future to continue on in his studies.
—Halina’s character [Chow Jing Yan- Joey] -aged 26. who plays as Yoyo’s friend. They used to be workmates when Yoyo worked with her at the cosmetic store. We don’t see her character much, I usually forget she’s in the story. I wonder if this character would have another purpose in the series, or just as Yoyo’s friend..she’s quite a contrast to Yoyo’s character. While Yoyo takes in charge, and stands up for herself, Halina is rather timid; even if she is right, she won’t argue about it (clearly shown in the first episode at the shop). She’s one of those characters who want to bring about peace and not cause any trouble. She also does not like to try new things, and she worries about Yoyo for changing jobs. I think sh’s a great friend to Yoyo =) Her character is quite likeable here..well, I like her, esp her change in character from her role in [Trimming Success] which was so annoying XD

Evonne Lam [The lady (with the son)- Dr. Hong]. who Lawrence’s father met. Aged 40 She’s also a doctor, and her husband passed away when her son was still young.
Appears to be a caring person. I don’t really have much to say about her..lol Suppose she’s quite rational and independent too lol
I read from somewhere that Lawrence’s dad ends up liking some women~ I wonder if that’s her~ quite a large age difference if it is, but they get along very well.
—
Choi Hong Nin’s character [I refer to him as the ‘The rich guy’]. Aged 32
Rich parents, spoilt, immature, not very intelligent (doesn’t seem like he’s been educated properly- once he started saying “how do you write the word ‘two’?” ) Looks down on those less wealthy than he is, and has a poor attitude towards others. Fell in love with Nancy at first sight. He would be willing to do anything for her, except give up on her. I think he’s quite thick at times…

Additional stuff:
After watching the whole series, Yoyo never has her hair done like that in the series, but her hair is like that at the Pomotional Events for this series..maybe these pictures were taken around then? Or they changed her character’s look?
Raymond’s character doesn’t really look like that either, he’s also missing his earrings xD I was looking at the Welcome to the House character and I think (from memory) they used the same one
Funniest would probably have to be Lawrence’s picture..you see his photo in a frame in his father’s house in the last episode xD XD

the little “chu jai” *piggy kid* is also very cute
the little “chu jai” *piggy kid* was a cast member, and it was one of the characters that i was waiting to see, meaning waiting for to be on screen again since yoyo, lawerence, or anyone else weren’t perfect anyways
