Plot

[edit]

Wei Fuk Wing, AKA "Ray", works at an advertising company called AW and has a contentious relationship with his new colleague, Kelly Kwan. Eventually, they fall in love and begin a relationship.

Chan Bing Gei was married, but his wife left several years ago. He runs a cram school and has unconditional, promiscuous sex with girls he meets at bars. Gei takes in a girl who claims to be his long-lost daughter Tung Tung and falls in love with his ex-wife's cousin.

Lo Ga Fai, an actor with small roles and big dreams, comes from a rich family and is bisexual. After his longtime boyfriend breaks up with him, Fai meets movie star Mok Hui Nam and they fall in love. Then Nam becomes pregnant with another man's baby and Fai discovers he has brain cancer. Not wanting to be a burden to them, Fai rejects his love for Nam and her baby.
