The Gem of Life (2008)

Very Dramatic

This series is very long, with more than 80 episodes. So be prepared to have a very long binge time on this series.

It is a very old series - from the TVB era - and its superbly brought to life by the many casts who played their characters remarkably well. This series also somewhat depicts real life in a way, especially when money and power comes into question, although the fight amongst the sisters was somewhat sad to watch. The "drama" and the cruelty shown occasionally and also the naivety etc can also bring out the frustration in you, as the viewer, when watching this series. There is alot of action and drama, definitely, just a tad long episode wise.

The songs paired with this series is also quite nice to listen, these days such good music is scarce.

I would recommend a first watch, if you love the synopsis of the series. Regarding re-watch, it would depend if you like the long winded"ness" of the series or not.
