Sunshine Heartbeat

The story is about three sisters, YIP CHING, YIP KIU and YIP YAN, who study at the Greenwood International School. The sisters met a Gypsy girl who foresaw that CHING’s true love is a boy who has a four-leafed clover birthmark. Soon the girls have grown. They all attracted many boys in the school. CHING has long forgotten what the Gypsy girl had said. However, KIU and YAN feel nervous about the fortune telling and look out for the described boy. After some investigations, they suspect that the cheerful beach volleyball team captain YUE YAT SUN or a cold, mysterious and bad student NIC FONG might be the one. Who is CHING’s true love?

After KIU and YAN see the four-leafed clover birthmark on SUN, YAN tells CHING about it. YAN suggests CHING to join the beach volleyball team in order to approach SUN. CHING tries to get away, but KIU persuades her for another reason. When they are practising on the beach, they see SUN being harassed by some girls. YAN thinks of a plan to make SUN invite them to join the team. Although CHING feels that they have cheated SUN, they become the members of the beach volleyball team anyway. They meet the other team members during the training and notice that many girls join the team for the same reason – to pursue SUN. SUKI and EUGENIA are the most aggressive ones. On one hand, SUN has to train new members. On the other hand, he has to deal with MON MON and her love affairs.

NIC feels that he should quit studying and look for a job to share the burden of his mother, who is a poorly paid cleaning lady. On the contrary, SUN’s mother is a famous doctor, who is about to go abroad for a medical conference. Back at the school, CHING is allowed to join the beach volleyball team. KIT has seen KIU play before and invites her to join the team. However, She turns him down because she does not want the training to affect her work in the first aid team. KIT does not give up. He thinks of a way to move her. The school promotes a Cookie Day to encourage girls to make some cookies for the boys whom they like. The sisters work hard to make some cookies for CHING to give to SUN. CHING brings the cookies to meet SUN, but they miss each other. She is even chased by a dog and drops all the cookies.

SUN and CHING are going to have their first date. CHING imagines it to be a candle-lit dinner with moonlight on the beach and wonders what they will do apart from holding hands? But the result disappoints her completely. SUN takes her to see a volleyball game only. Although disappointed at first, CHING is finally delighted when SUN gives her some surprises at the end of the date. The next day, SUN wins the game against his ultimate enemy 6’6’’ because of KIU’s hints. He wants to thank her, but CHING appears at the same time. KIU leaves them alone. The sisters are having split opinions over whether they should tell SUN the truth why CHING joins the beach volleyball team. KIU suggests that CHING should be honest and tells him the truth, but YAN thinks it is not the right time yet. In order to ease off the tension, YAN suggests to take a walk to buy some desserts. They see NIC fighting with two men on the way……

The YIP’s sisters are shocked to see NIC bearing a four-leafed clover birthmark. When they get home, CHING daydreams about how brave NIC was when he saved her. KIU and YAN, however, are both very bothered and try to think hard for new strategies. During the beach volleyball training the next day, the coach finds out how bad CHING plays and blames SUN for inviting her to join.

The accident reveals the true personality of the rebellion NIC to the YIP’s sisters. When they see NIC being scolded by the coach for being late, they want to explain for him, but fail.

They decide to make the decision only after CHING succeeds in inviting NIC to join the beach volleyball team. KIU and YAN’s love affairs start too. YAN meets LEUNG CHI PING again. She is delighted by his silly acts. PING is also happy to see YAN not looking down on him. KIU takes a love test at home to find out who matches her most. Whose name will she write down?
