A radio show that initially exposes a gangster but then after understanding him more, portrays him in a good light. This is one of a few such stories where triad characters are shown in a good light. While Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Meat, Hollywood cheat all the time but the Great American PR machine keeps people in a drug-induced adoration of their products. This show is a bit like the Godfather where an ex-don's son legitimizes his father's business.

The romance is secondary to the show. The leading lady's childhood friend's confession of his love to her and her rejection leaves you feeling sad for him but life goes on, for the others at least, and he finds love in the arms of a rich girl who falls for his simplicity.

The struggle of a radio show to find advertisers and keep itself afloat is shown very well here.

The opening and closing theme of the show with Annie Chen, the RJ says Hello Wei Ni hao, is among the most pleasant ones I have seen anywhere.
