Same story line ... family business in-fighting. Hasn't the story been told before - in a rice wine making family business? Repetition of same story is getting boring. Can almost tell what will happen before it happens.
No one watched this? Twas a nice little show -Matt Ho first time as lead -Rebecca and Matt always paired together no wonder they have real romance -Katy Kung back to being evil girl lol -Soy sauce theme reminds me of nikki chow show back in the day 'bottled passion'?
