Limelight Years

LAI GOR-DUN, a wealthy Taiwan entrepreneur, invites a mysterious author called "MARJORINA" to fly from Hong Kong to Taiwan, helping him write his autobiography. The PR Manager of GOR-DUN's hotel, POON NAM-SZE is GOR-DUN's right-hand woman. She not only helps GOR-DUN get ready to welcome MARJORINA, but also arranges diva WAH FONG-YING to perform at the night of the medal awards ceremony. WAH FONG-YING, a diva of her time, has spent forty years on stage, and is extremely harsh on people. In order to buy designer shoes for FONG-YING at a high-end boutique, her assistant SZETO TIK-TIK dresses up nicely, but is mocked by FONG-YING, who is also dissatisfied with TIK-TIK's performance. The owner of Upstairs Photo Studio is LAW BUN-HON, and his friends call him "LAW BUN". Just prior to boarding a plane, he finds that he is elevated to a first-class seat, which makes him so excited that he even calls his wife MING HA to tell her about it.… ...

TIK-TIK leads SHEUNG-HANG back to her hotel room to make out, but she regains her consciousness as soon as she sees FONG-YING's high heel shoes, and immediately drives SHEUNG-HANG away. While FONG-YING is performing at the celebration ceremony for GOR-DUN who is awarded the medal, LAW BUN makes a phone call to MING HA, letting her listen to her idol's singing. Seeing that LAW BUN also brings an old photo album, SHEUNG-HANG enquires about a photo showing three people, so LAW BUN tells him that they are him, GOR-DUN and LUI TSO-CHI. GOR-DUN challenges LAW BUN to a table tennis contest, but is defeated. On top of that, he even slips and falls, and his embarrassing moment is right away caught on camera by LAW BUN. Having learned from a friend that NAM-SZE is about to get married, FONG-YING tries to catch up with her on social networking sites. FONG-YING grants TIK-TIK a half day off.… ...

NAM-SZE asks TIK-TIK to pass a file to FONG-YING for her, but the following day when leaving the hotel, TIK-TIK completely forgets about it after KA-MING comes to Taipei to pick her up back to Hong Kong. FONG-YING asks LAW BUN to upload the photos to her blog, adding that she has already fired TIK-TIK. However, LAW BUN points out that she has wronged TIK-TIK. When leaving together with LAW BUN, FONG-YING suggests going to the Red House since the place is not only where she made her first stage appearance in Taiwan, but also where MING HA and her family members watched her performance. TIK-TIK doesn't remember the file until she arrives at the airport, so she rushes back to the hotel. On the other hand, SHEUNG-HANG uploads the video that he secretly filmed when TIK-TIK spoke out loud what she demanded from a man, entitling it "Charming Cheap Lady".… ...

FONG-YING decides to go directly to NAM-SZE's home to have a word with her. As to NAM-SZE, she invites her fiance and his family members to have a dinner together, urging TONG YAN to bring her illegitimate son CHRIS back to her home. However, CHRIS hugs her and keeps crying and screaming, refusing to let her leave. FONG-YING, LAW BUN and TIK-TIK go to look for them separately. From a distance, FONG-YING surprisingly sees her younger daughter TONG YAN staying with CHRIS. She therefore thinks that TONG YAN became an unmarried single mother. Asking TIK-TIK out, SHEUNG-HANG deliberately reveals that he is actually penniless, following which he secretly films her reaction, and then puts the video online. Once again, LAW BUN accompanies FONG-YING to look for NAM-SZE. Midway there, FONG-YING receives a phone call from TONG YAN. FONG-YING thus goes to the church and finds NAM-SZE, advising her to call off the wedding.… ...

Asking LAW BUN to develop the photos for him, KAI-YIU reveals that he is helping FONG-YING in preparation of her concert scheduled to be held by the end of the year. KAI-YIU hopes that TING-NGA will not compete with FONG-YING regarding the venue booking, but TING-NGA refuses to give in. LAW BUN's landlord Mr. YEUNG decides to emigrate to Australia, so he suggests selling the property of the Upstairs Photo Studio to LAW BUN at a 30% off discount rate. Though TSO-CHI thinks that CHI-YUE is capable of purchasing the property for LAW BUN, LAW BUN doesn't want his son to spend the money for him. GOR-DUN comes to Hong Kong to buy a yacht; whereas TSO-CHI still refuses to meet him. SHEUNG-HANG and TI-TAK specifically introduce the competitive advantage of the business promotion via an online radio station to GOR-DUN, who thus invites them to go sailing with him.… ...

LAW BUN blames FONG-YING for exposing KAI-YIU's photos to the media, adding that her action has severely damaged his reputation because his clients are based on trust to let him develop their photos. TING-NGA is surrounded by the journalists downstairs, suddenly, FONG-YING shows up and helps her out. Apologizing to FONG-YING, KAI-YIU reveals that in fact it's someone else who spilled the beans. Seeing that TING-NGA blames KAI-YIU for deciding her future without asking for her opinion beforehand, FONG-YING tells TING-NGA that she has no idea how lucky she is. Using herself as an example, she exhorts TING-NGA to try to appreciate what she already has. FONG-YING invites some of the showbiz heavyweights to help organize her concert, including Brother TANG as the Creative Director, and DIAMOND, a cutting-edge musician as the Music Director.… ...

Having learned that FONG-YING buys the idea proposed by SHEUNG-HANG, Brother TANG points it out for her that the idea of "Glamorous Transformation" is outdated, reiterating his cutting-edge concept namely "Moulin Rouge". After that, Brother TANG goes to reprimand SHEUNG-HANG, who not only asks for Brother TANG's forgiveness but also voluntarily reduces his salary by 30%. While feeling sorry for SHEUNG-HANG, TIK-TIK also comes to realize that he will do whatever it takes to achieve fame. LAW BUN and ALICE are having dinner together, during which LAW BUN enquires whether she and his son CHI-YUE have ever planned for their future, adding that he doesn't mind to have a foreign daughter-in-law. CHI-YUE misconceives that his father will not leave since he has already forgiven him and TSO-CHI. To his surprise, LAW BUN states that he is still going to Taiwan to fulfill his dream.… ...
