This is where the story begins, and it gets twisted when the designer Andy Hui lost his memory and felt in love with the fat girl Myolie Wu. The days they were in love were short, there were only 14 days, but in these days, they found true love. However, when Andy recovered from his memory lost, he began to hate Myolie for playing a trick on him, but he didn't realized he still loves Myolie...

THE FACTORS
- Love Factor -
Andy Hui
To my surprise, I think Andy is an awesome actor, not only he can sing, he does his acting really well. I never thought he can express his feelings so well. There was a scene where he pretends to be Kenneth Ma's character (in Myolie's imagination), that scene cracks me out, he acts really well as a nerd. His expressions come very natural..
Selena Li
She has improved so much lately! To me, she is the most improved star of the year. In this series, she is the skinny girl who wants to marry to a rich guy before reaching 25. Her character is really cute, she always has the high standards about seeking a husband. Finally, she found her true love, Jack.
- Pity Factor -
Myolie Wu
I am listing Myolie as the pity factor, because she put up too much effort for this series. However, the series was a big disappointment, the story didn't flow well, and it doesn't have a true meaning behind it. Myolie, in the other hand, sacrificed too much... She did really well in the series too, but I didn't feel for her character at all.
- Dislike Factor -
"I read your mind!"
Using a sunflower to find your true love, I guess this is one of TVB's most unrealistic invention. Why does Myolie has to find her true love base on the picture she drew? The whole mind reading thing is insane, the true couple doesn't really has to read each other's mind, as long as they understand each other, they are a perfect couple. Myolie failed to do that, when Andy is trying to make the bigger size cloth, Myolie didn't support him, but they are still a perfect couple.
What is true love?
To break up with Matthew, Myolie only said that they can't understand each other's mind. To accept Kenneth's propose, all Myolie needed was that Kenneth can read her mind. Then, later, she rejects Kenneth because she doesn't love him enough. What does she wants the most? A mind reader or a true lover?
Gigi Wong
At the beginning, I think she is a great character, who loves to help people. Then, the problem begins, she becomes more and more active in terms of destroying weddings, she becomes annoying, without her, everything will seem to be perfect. I understand she has the problem with Myolie's dad, but that doesn't means she can use that to mess up everyone else' lives.
Escaping Weddings
The marriage is not a joke! But, in this series, nobody takes marriage seriously. Myolie said, "I don't" when she is about to marry Kenneth, why does she wait until that moment to reject Kenneth? Same thing happened to Kenneth when he rejects Selena, also in the church. What's the excuse? "I need to be honest to myself!" OK! I have it enough! If you are honest to yourself, you don't need to marry to the wrong person!
There are more!
Err.. how about Myolie's father beat up Myolie? I think that scene is stupid, what is wrong with the dad? What's more important than marrying the right person? Err.. how about the ending, when Kenneth challenges Andy, just a silly IQ question, Andy wins Myolie? Is love that simple? There are so many other things in this series that can easily make you mad..
- Chemistry Factor -
Myolie and Andy
They have a OK chemistry, I just don't like the fact that Andy has to lost his memory in order to fall in love with Myolie. And, later, it took him so long to realize he still loves Myolie... As for Myolie, I don't think she can read Andy's mind.
Andy and Claire
Ah, I don't want to mention Claire, I don't really like her in this series.
Selena Li and Jack Wu
Good couple, but very little time together. I don't understand why Jack slims his body for Selena, but Selena puts the weight back on him. It's a little strange twist.
THE COMMENTS
- The Performances -
Overall, I think the performances were great, especially from Myolie and Andy, both of them are really great. Myolie cried really well, but I didn't feel too much about her character.
- The Story -
One of the worst storyline of the year, I might say, it is the worst Modern series of the year. I am sorry if that disappointed you, but I am telling you not to watch the series too seriously.
- Worth Watching? -
Err.. if you don't watch it, you will feel bad for not supporting Myolie after she gains so much weight. But, if you watched it, for sure, you will regret watching it. Seriously, I can not find the real purpose of this series.
