This is how Wan Bik Ha started a long string of slutty roles on the small screen even after being cast as a sex kitten in most movies on the big screen. How does she perform in this drama as the notorious Poon Kam Lien? To get category3 movies’ actor Sum Lap Mun to pair up with her is a rare chance too.
It was the '90s version of War & Beauty regarding how women fight for power within the household. They do not only resort to only verbal insults but also scheming various ploys to harm the other wives to gain favour or attention. That results in deaths for some of them. In fact, I enjoyed watching this drama than ‘War and beauty’ as the beautiful women here are also brilliant in protecting themselves.
Costume-wise, the actresses wore beautiful and colourful dresses. Each is quite representative of their position. Ping Yee and Yuet Niong who are quite conservative generally were thicker clothes that covered their bodies. Kam Lien and Chin Yin wear outfits that are more thin and revealing.
The cast did a wonderful job. They know that their performance will either make or break it. Thumbs up for their acting. Lap Mun and Bik Ha manage to show the humane side of their evil roles, thus leaving a deep impression for all.
