Episode 1

HA TIN-SANG SUMMER, one of the photographers of Only You, suddenly extends his overseas holiday. His clients grumble about this, but there is nothing PHOEBE can do about this. CHEUNG KING-YUEN KING, another photographer, complains he is being left in the cold. The son of MRS. CHAN, wife of a high official, is getting married. Her assistant requests that Only You’s wedding coordinator has a good marriage herself. PHOEBE tells the assistant to be rest-assured. The truth is, TIM’s husband left the family many years ago. TIM does not want to lie, and so she asks her student LEUNG KWAI to take the order. MAN enrolls on an intensive wedding coordinator training course. The instructor, WONG MEI-HO, brags about the prospects for wedding coordinators. KWAI shops for TIM. He reveals TIM’s marriage problem to HO by accident. In order to suppress TIM, HO tells the papers about this. TIM is very upset. She apologizes to MRS. CHAN’s in person……

MAN is determined to do something big in her new career. TIM sees HO cheating a client at a restaurant. She goes up to unmask her. The two end up in a quarrel. MAN runs into her former boyfriend, CHIU. He would like to sell the niche they bought together. Finding the idea very good, she signs the contract right away. In fact, he makes huge profits selling niches, and he has never loved MAN. MAN accuses him of being shameless after she has found out about these. SUMMER lines up overnight for a parrot crystal and so is late for his appointment with MRS. CHAN’s son, DON, and his fiancee, ADA. SUMMER finally shows up with CHAI. It turns out that parrots have a special meaning to DON. DON and ADA are very happy. KING and SUMMER grew up together in the same orphanage. KING learnt photography from SUMMER. KING wants to quit; SUMMER cheers him up. MAN is promoting on the street. PHOEBE appreciates her……

MAY pays advance money at Only You. With a view to getting her money back from selling the niche, MAN agrees to be MAY’s wedding coordinator. It is raining. SUMMER and MAN fight over a taxi. She gets wet as a result. SUMMER’s good friend TONG YIN-SHAN patronizes Only You. SHAN is not in speaking terms with her mother. Her fiance, HOI, used to be a prisoner. Her mother therefore does not like him. SHAN however insists in marrying him. SUMMER sees HOI being with PAO, who is a triad member. He worries about SHAN. CHIU pays MAN back for fear she would create troubles. MAY sees them. He lies that MAN is blackmailing him. In order to revenge her, MAY picks on MAN deliberately. MAN hurts MAY accidentally. MAY pretends to be disabled and demands two million dollars’ compensation from MAN and Only You. CHAI and PHOEBE are deeply troubled by the lawsuit. Conscience-stricken, MAN apologizes to MAY. MAY will not let her off though……

SHAN asks HOI how he was injured. He lies that he has borrowed money from the loan shark. She finds his reason dubious though. SUMMER puts HOI up at Only You. He warns HOI not to hurt SHAN. MAN is very serious about her job. TIM takes on a new look on her. MING has returned from his honeymoon. MAN advices him to give his manager, MO, a present. Somebody attacks HOI. SUMMER saves him, but he loses Only You’s documents during the chaos. According to HOI, SHAN jumped into the sea after quarreling with her mother. HOI saved her, and they went out with each other after that. Recently, PAU forced him to rob a bank. He reported this to the police instead. This is why PAU wants to kill him. Unwilling to involve SHAN into trouble, he decides to break up with her. His story reminds SUMMER of his relationship with HON CHI-YIU six years ago. SUMMER was a bar tender then. He studied photography in the States after he had saved up enough money……

SHAN is grounded by her mother. She climbs down from the window, but SUMMER takes her back home. SUMMER remembers how YIU and he hid their relationship from her father five years ago. One day, he introduced himself to her father. On one hand, her father commended him for his study plan, he speeded up his immigration to Canada on the other. YIU did not have the courage to go against his father. SUMMER was heartbroken when she left him. LEO invests the money he has borrowed from TIM in the stock market. CHAI tells LEO to work as an assistant at Only You, this way he will not be idling about anymore. SHAN lies to SUMMER that she will leave HOI. SUMMER believes her. The police want to use HOI as a bait to draw PAU out. SHAN checks out on PAO’s voice mail. She rushes to the pier to look for HOI. PAO arrives shortly afterwards. So do the police. Holding SHAN hostage, PAO forces HOI to break out the police’s encirclement……

FUNG’s staff, LAN, asks Only You to organize her wedding but hires HO as her coordinator. MAN and SUMMER argue a lot. HO cheats LAN. TIM argues with her. Surprisingly, HO tells her it is KWAI she should blame. In fact, KWAI is a scapegoat, but as he owes HO money there is nothing he can do about it. TIM provides free service to LAN for KWAI’s sake. TIM tells MAN how she and HO turned from friends to foes. HO was TIM’s student six years ago. TIM taught HO everything she knew about wedding, and even lent her money when she was in need. HO, however, betrayed TIM by setting up her own company. What’s more, she named the company “Nice Marriage”, same as TIM’s. LAN would like to get slim. MAN recommends a beauty centre to her. LAN faints after taking slimming drugs. TIM blames MAN. LAN and her boyfriend have a fierce argument in the hospital. TIM mediates between them. FUNG is pregnant……

SUMMER and his friends are taking part in the Party Game Night organized by a bar. Seemingly, MAN is not interested, but she shows up at the bar with her good friend LAM YEE-LING later. SUMMER laughs at her. MAN is interested in a customer named YU CHI-KEUNG. She finds out later that he is a PR. LEO takes MIKI to Only You for a one-night-stand. KEUNG applies for the post of make-up artist at Only You. MAN is very embarrassed to see him again. MIKI pesters a lot. LEO keeps a distance from her. MIKI goes to Only You, requesting to try out bridal wear. She surprises PHOEBE immensely when she claims that she is LEO’s girlfriend and that they are getting married. LEO tells PHOEBE who MIKI is. KEUNG and the other are going to a nightclub. CHAI dares not join them and ends up being called “indoorsman”. TIM and PHOEBE invite MIKI home for dinner. They quite like her at the beginning……

It turns out they are KEUNG and KING, who are drunk. PHOEBE is scared stiff. She gives CHAI a good telling-off when she finds out he has gone to the nightclub with them. He retorts that she is too strict with him. She is rendered unconscious by MIKI as soon as she has stomped out of the shop. MIKI discards PHOEBE in a cemetery after she has taken her keys. PHOEBE is nowhere to be found. CHAI is very worried. PHOEBE falls down a slope when she wakes up. Fortunately, CHAI arrives in time to save her. The police interrogate MIKI but they can find nothing. LEO breaks up with MIKI. She is very upset. PHOEBE tells KEUNG off for working freelance. But realizing how popular he is among she changes her attitude towards him. MIKI holds TIM and LEO hostage. She plans to kill LEO and herself after their wedding. LEO begs her to let him go. MAN has lost her keys. SUMMER returns to the shop with her to search for them……

MAN has recovered. PHOEBE offers her 5,000 dollars as compensation. MAN advises PHOEBE to place an advertisement in MING’s magazine but she is not interested. SUMMER would like to sponsor sick dogs. He makes up a story and borrows money from KEUNG. MAN exposes him. He swears to revenge her. MAN encourages PHOEBE to place an advertisement in exchange for a feature article again. PHOEBE is very happy that the advertisement proves to be a success. MAN’s school friends appear at the shop. MAN has a mixed-up feeling when she realizes all her school friends have a good marriage. HA hopes that TIM could find someone for MAN. TIM introduces SIU-PING, who works at a cleaning firm, to MAN. But they can in no way get along with each other. SUMMER laughs at MAN. MAN and LING run into CHIU, PAULA and other school friends. MAN’s friends make fun of her single status……

It rains heavily. MAN and SUMMER have a traffic accident on their way to PAULA’s wedding. SUMMER takes good care of MAN the whole evening, leaving a very good impression on her. MAN brags about SUMMER’s background but she is soon unmasked. SUMMER tells everyone in the shop about his deal with MAN. The two have another fight over this. Bacteria expert MAN-CHING goes to Only You to discuss her wedding. MAN-CHING is an ugly-looking woman. MAN is therefore jealous that her fiance is ON CHI-HIM, one of the most sought after wealthy bachelors in town. Affected by her pregnancy, FUNG has been very emotional lately. MING and his family try their best to please her. MAN-CHING gets along very well with MAN. She invites MAN to go shopping for her wedding. REBECCA, HIM’s former girlfriend, is MAN-CHING’s bridesmaid. She is arrogant, and picks on MAN-CHING whenever she has the opportunity. REBECCA and HIM act intimately when they are taking photos……

In fact, HIM and REBECCA are attending UNCLE TSAT’s birthday banquet. HIM complains that MAN-CHING is too reckless. Being set up by REBECCA, MAN-CHING has left a bad impression to HIM and UNCLE TSAT. She is very upset. She tells MAN her love story. HIM felt at a very low ebb in 2003. His business did not go well, and then REBECCA left him. As if it was not enough, he contracted SARS. Then he met MAN-CHING at the hospital, where she did volunteering work. With her encouragement he finally gathered himself together. Now, however, she feels that they are not suitable for each other. She even thinks of canceling their wedding. REBECCA induces HIM but he turns her down resolutely. MAN has a talk with HIM. So he returns to the hospital and pours his love and feelings for MAN-CHING. The lovers are finally reconciled. MAN-CHING invites MAN to be her bridesmaid. UNCLE TSAT’s son, ASHELY, will be HIM’s best man……

MAN almost makes a spectacle of herself. Fortunately, ASHELY helps her out of her embarrassment. Everybody in the family is happy about MAN’s new relationship. SUMMER has taken many photos of MAN at MAN-CHING’s wedding. TIM introduces a guy to CHING. Instead of feeling grateful for her mother, CHING quarrels with her. Thanks to SUMMER’s mediation the mother and daughter make it up with each other in the end. ASHELY invites MAN to go to Maldives for holiday. She hesitates. SUMMER sees ASHLEY and KIKEN acting intimately in a bar. Suspecting they are lovers, he tells MAN what he has seen. ASHELY proposes to MAN. He also invites her to watch the firework display at a hotel. MAN cannot make up her mind. PHOEBE encourages her to accept ASHELY, but TIM thinks she should think twice, as she can see that MAN is not over the moon about his proposal. MAN goes to meet ASHELY at the hotel. SUMMER takes her photos there……

MAN feels that she is humiliated. She cries her heart out on the street. SUMMER cheers her up. She is not only grateful to him but starts to like him. PHOEBE is sponsoring a magazine’s competition for a free wedding as a gesture of promoting her shop. CHAI is unhappy that she does not talk to him about this. WONG CHI-CHAK and his girlfriend FONG MIU-KUEN have won the competition. CHAK is visually impaired. KUEN comes from mainland China. She met CHAK when she was visiting Hong Kong. CHAI finds KUEN suspicious, as she does not care about her wedding at all. PHOEBE does not agree with him, whereas he thinks she is too simple-minded. SUMMER is excited to see YIU again. MAN is jealous. According to WING, KUEN’s boyfriend, KUEN married CHAK only for the right of abode. And that her encounter with CHAK was part of their plan. KUEN admits everything, but she also claims that she has fallen in love with CHAK. CHAK leaves without saying a word……

CHAK comes round after KUEN carries out first aid on him. Meanwhile, CHAI arrives. PHOEBE and CHAI are touched by what they see. CHAK and KUEN will get married in mainland China. Only You will organize their wedding free of charge. MAN is jealous to see SUMMER and YIU together. SUMMER goes shopping with YIU after work. MAN returns to the shop to take a disc. She is upset to see SUMMER and YIU kissing. SUMMER intends to move out of Only You and live with YIU. Everybody is pleased for him. MAN shops alone on Christmas Eve. She has an argument with SHUK-CHU, wife of gang kingpin LAU SIU-LUNG. YIU tells SUMMER to meet her up at a hotel. When he gets there, he is disappointed to find a present and a break-up letter YIU has left. In fact, she has a boyfriend in Canada, and that she only came back to formally cut off from him. SUMMER wants to end his life. MAN stops him and then gives him some words of consolation……

It turns out that they want Only You to coordinate their wedding. PHOEBE does not want to take the order because of LUNG’s background as a gang member. An old lady frames LUNG up on the street. CHAI goes up to his help. LUNG throws a banquet to thank CHAI for saving his reputation. Now that he and CHAI are sworn brothers, he wants Only You to take care of his wedding. PHOEBE is angry that LUNG should teach her how to be a wife but there is nothing she can do because of his background. LUNG wants CHAI and PHOEBE to meet his “big brother”. The couple is paranoid.

In her opinion, HUNG does not deserve a cup of Tea of Thankfulness, for he has failed to live up to his responsibilities of a father. GRANNY KAU has fallen out with her daughter.

CHAI and KING tell KEUNG how to teach his girlfriend to discipline. CANDY, who has been going out with KEUNG recently, leaves in anger. GILL, KING and KEUNG call on CHAI. GILL thinks CHAI has failed to do a good job taming his wife. Then he teaches CHAI and the other two men how to be financial independent and still win the trust of their wife. MAN and PHOEBE think that YAN has sacrificed too much for her Indian boyfriend. But YAN and PETER both think giving and taking is what love is about. Taking GILL’s advice, CHAI, KING and KEUNG have now become financial independent. GILL invites them to go to the nightclub in Macau. He tells them to lie to their wife that they are just going to Macau for work. SUMMER does not join them, as he wants to celebrate MAN’s birthday. GILL makes PETER join them instead.

ERICA wants to throw a wedding banquet at a hotel on October 10, which is auspiciously referred to as “perfect in every way” in Cantonese.

CHING has bought a watch for HUNG, but she fears that TIM will find out about it. KING is busy with the opening of his new shop. He feels that he is being belittled. SUMMER does not want to involve himself in the dispute, but MAN does not agree. HUNG would like to divorce TIM. CHING volunteer to check out TIM’s opinion for him……

CHING tries to make up with TIM but to no avail. ERICA tries out bridal dresses at Only You. She is full of ideas for her new shop. TIM perturbs CHING greatly. Her relationship with MARCO suffers as a result as they quarrel a lot. TIM can see that CHING is worrying about her. She reminds CHING not to let trivialities affect her marriage.
