Episode 1 Feng shui expert YING LING SHAN goes to buy a shirt and a tie for her father, where she meets a bloke named MAN KA WO. WO gives her some tips on how to choose men’s clothes but SHAN, thinking that he is only trying to chat her up, does not seem to be grateful for his advice. New pop idol FIFI has stolen things from the department store and her manager JIMMY offers to pay for her immediately. WO has noticed every detail about the theft and believes that there must be something wrong with the singer. SHAN and WO, who are in their respective cars, have had a near-miss. There is a shrill, penetrating sound when the vehicles brake hard, which gives FIFI a fright and makes her scream. WO gives FIFI his business card, which, in SHAN’s eyes, is nothing more than a disgraceful attempt to chat up the girl. SHAN visits his father TIN MING, who has been locked in prison…… |
