I felt Benny was acting weird in this whole episode, after the evil fortune telling guy started saying those things to him. I kept hoping that Benny wasn’t already working with them, sticking around Yuen Wah and the others for the Book of Destiny…I’m sooo sadden when he appeared in the last shot.. we’ve lost him ;_; The bad guys really have planned out everything so well..and the desired to become King has really taken over Benny’s senses..
Other than that, were were lots of funny moments in this episode, with Benny and Steven trying to save Yuen Wah and Rebecca at the palace; even going into that dangerous room xD There was also a lot of disguises, dressing up and switching positions to save them…and at the end, it was really to captureYuen wah and Rebecca them again =( (but this time, instead of the King, its underthe evil fortune teller)


Benny and Selena reunite at the palace ^^ Mimi doesn’t seem to be sick anymore after seeing Benny and I know Selena would feel sad though..the two decided to hide the fact they are married from Mimi in hope she would recover soon.

Airring in Australia on 21 May at 7:10pm, after [A Change of Destiny] ‘s final episode this coming Friday.

Synopsis:

Many people say that housewives are good-for-nothing and will only idle away their time on boring chores. But Mung Ka-Ka (Sheren Tang), Ting Mui-Heung (Cecilia Yip) and Cho Mei-Ngo (Kiki Sheung) will prove them wrong. Contrary to what you might think, being a housewife is as stressful as fighting in the battlefield. The never-ending housework and the persistent family conflicts will put them on the alert at all times.

Ka suspects that her husband Fong Yin-Cho (Michael Tse) is a cross-dresser and her constant worries have caused her to suffer from anxiety disorder. Heung has contracted a sexually transmitted disease from her spouse while Ngo agrees to arrange a sham divorce for the sake of his husband without knowing that he has been cheating on her. The women’s neighbor Ko Wing-Kuen (John Chiang) was widowed in his younger days. Since the death of his wife, he has taken up all kinds of domestic work, which puts him in a very awkward position.

The wife of Kam Shing-Tsun (Kenneth Ma), the owner of a tea restaurant in the neighborhood, has recently committed suicide. Before the tragedy took place, the three housewives had given the lady a warning, about which they feel so guilty…

The promotional image looks so funny ^^ I’m expecting something new and refreshing here~ and I guess it starts with the cast~ I’m not really famiiar with two of the ladies up there. We have three of the cast in La Femme Desperado but I’m assuming there’s not gonna be much resemblences. As usual, I’ve avoided reading the synosis to avoid spoilers XD but I’ve included it up there for those who are interested. Have to see how this series goes =)

Selena leaves Benny and goes back to the palace with the ‘Gong gong’

I was tricked by Benny too!

I felt so sad for Selena..I was putting myself in her position. Benny became such a jerk that I wanted Selena to go back and find the princess..she married the wrong man; how could he sell her?? Why couldn’t he treasure her? What more from a wife would he want?? It started to remind me of Best Bet when Michael Tse’s character ‘sold’ his wife away because of gambling..Benny drugged Selena and let another man have her…I got so annoyed when Benny put on the expression “You can’t blame me, I’ve got no other choice”. When we find out that he did all that deliberately to act in front of Selena to force her to leave him and go back to the palace so that she wouldn’t have to suffer with him …I felt even more sad…awww

At the end..Benny was accused of killing Shirley’s friend and as a result, Benny was beaten up in court.. His heartbroken mother went to proctect his son and as a result she dies… T___T !How can they just kill her? ?? Who’s responsible for her death then?? ='( Benny’s mother became a really nice lady too..so sad…

Benny doesn’t appear to have anyone left..his wife is gone..his father is captured..

[Heart of Greed] Episode 5

[Karaoke and Animated Clip]

[Intermission Clip]

The family spent the day out with Baffet Lunch, Movies and Karaoke~ for their mother’s 35th Anniversary, they put up a surprise clip compiled and made especially for her ^^ The animation clip was so cute! XD The characters really look like them!
Things seem to be going well again now that I thought Lee See Kei and Susanna Kwan had that confrontational talk in the last episode. Things are getting a bit messy and its all because of Susanna. She’s the one with a “heart of greed”. Once Lee Seei Kei said she can have two of their property under her name, and leaves with Fala on a short trip, right away she takes Ha Yu to choose the property. It seems like she’s been watching that property for a long time now, waiting for the perfect opportunity to get it. Tension arises between Susanna and Michelle and more problems have broke out…

On the other hand, Linda has approaches Moses and asks to borrow a large sum of money, without telling him the reason for the need, other than it was urgent. Moses does and Linda asks him not to tell anyone about it. She seemed so suspscious and money hungry, asking Moses again and again to withdraw using all the bank cards he had..later on, Moses (while with Ha Yu) sees Linda betting on horses and assumes that she has taken the money to gamble! This story gets told to Michelle’s brother and he starts spreading bad words about her to everyone. After saying those things to Linda, she gets upset and thinks that Moses has went back against his words of keeping it a secret…

[Heart of Greed] Episode 3

This episode was about HaYu and Susanna hoping to go on thier secret holiday trip without the others knowing, but eventually Fala, Bosco and Chris finds out and the three end up bribbing him to keep it a secret from his first wife. Moses on the to other hand found out it was HaYu’s first wife’s 35th Anniversary and hopes that they would be able to spend it as a family.. At the end, HaYu and Susanna don’t end up going and HaYu’s first wife finds out the plan. In the end, Susanna gets really angry and starts saying nasty things to her..

Joel finds the poison/drugs in a box at the Inscent factory (I’m pretty sure its that traitorous idiot guy working for the bad guys..) and as a result, Benny’s father steps out, holding all the responsibility himself in hope to save his fmily and was put in jail and beaten up.. but Joel doesn’t let them go that easily.

Selena and Benny realise that the evil guy actually tricked Benny to set up a bad luck Feng Sui last time (to see Selena again), with all sorta of poisoness insects and creatures in vases etc… unfortunately they realised too late.

Joel abuses his power closing down Benny’s family business, closing up their home and taking all their assets!! As a result, Benny, Selena and Benny’s mother become homeless and poor.. Over night, they lost everything..he won’t even them a chance to get themselves back up by bribing/forcing people not to employ them or repay debt they previously owed to them so they couldn’t earn any money.
After Benny became poor, everyone was so slack to him..its not he treated them poorly before, but now he’s looked down upon, laughed at and thrown nasty words..

Benny and Selena find the pearl Benny had previously thrown in the pond at his home. They were hoping to sell it to get some money that would last them one month and buy medicine for Benny’s mother who was sick..
Selena was trying to be positive, while Benny and his mother constantly complained about the place. I guess its pretty normal, considering it was such a large change from what they had before..I was hoping that Steven, Yuen Wah and Shirley were here to help them but they were around..

Selena gave Benny’s mother some sweet-potato and told her that Benny should be coming home soon with the money. Benny’s mother who was sick of eating sweet-potato saw Selena nibbling on something outside and immediately assuming she was keeping the nice food for herself..she started yelling at her until she saw that Selena was eating the skin of the Sweet potato she had given her…awww…so touching.. After this incident, Benny’s mother realised what a lovely daughter-in-law Selena was and her attitude towards their poor situation had improved and she became more positive and content..

After selling off the pearl, Benny bumps into those idiots again, and after more listening to more of their nasty words about how he can’t afford to go in and eat etc, Benny gets really angry and to prove them wrong, he takes out the money he got and spends it at the brothel..It is soo not worth it!!! All that money!! Spent it on idioits who again, took advantage of him…


Selena finds Benny at the brothel chasing girls around the room..it must of been such a big disappointment..

On the other hand, we learn that Shirley’s mother has already regained her memories back, and found out that it was the evil guy who had killed her family…she set up a trap and attempted to kill him for revenge, but unfortuntely he found out before hand so she failed to. Shirley, Steven and Yuen Wah manage to save her and the famil reunites! ^^ Unfortunetly, not long, Shirley and Rebecca get captured again when Yuen Wah and Steven manage to escape. Thinking it was the King who was behind the capture, Yuen Wah and Steven sneakingly gets into the palace and appears before him..
