Synopsis -
Chung Siu Hor and her husband Gam Tai Jo have been working hard for many years to establish a famous reputation for their Moonlight Cake Shop. However, Hor discovers that Jo committed adultery with her best friend Yan Hung and she breaks up with him miserably. Hor brings along her children Gam Wing Ho, Gam Wing Hing, and her adopted daughter Suen Ho Yuet and sets up another cake shop for a living.

Hung moves in to live with Jo and she starts playing tricks in the family. She tries pleasing her mother-in-law Sheh Kwan Lai in every way while disuniting her stepsons and Jo. Outside the family, Hung starts expanding their business rapidly. Hor’s younger sister Chung Siu Sa is displeased. Sa decides to fight for the ownership of their cake shop’s brand name in court with Hung. Their relationship with Hung further deteriorates.

Apart from the cake shop business, Hor also spends a lot of efforts on her children. Her oldest son Gam Wing Ga is not interested in managing the cake shop at all and he indulges himself on stock trading. He also develops an entangling relationship with his cousin Lo Ga Mei and Yuet at the same time. On the other hand, Hor’s younger son Wing Ho takes up the role of a father in the family and he works hard all of the time to earn a living. Wing Ho loves his childhood friend Chau whole-heartedly, but Chau is in love with the doctor Ling Chi Shun.

Hor works hard unconditionally to strive for the well being of her family members. Hung, on the other hand, is a very mean person who values her own benefits only. Jo is caught between the two women all of the time and he feels helpless. One day, a disaster happens at the cake shop. Here comes a time when human nature, family bonds, and love are brought to a trail…

I have just started watching and think this is a great series so far. It's hard not to compare it to Heart of Greed 1 but I think the story line is a lot stronger and there a lot more likeable characters.

I especially like Raymond's character becuase it's quite different to the other roles he's had. Moses is also really funny and his exaggerations and acting make his character stand out.

What does everyone else think of the series?

This is a great series, I think better than Heart of Greed. All the actors and actress' excel in their performance in this series esp. Tavia, Raymond and Moses.

Um... I didn't really think it was that great of a series. Towards the ends, the storyline was getting really repetitive.
