Drama Digest:

A successful, dominant woman named Lui Zi Tung launched a cosmetics company. However, Zi Tung’s company received a deplorable review from makeup influencer Ding Yau Ching. With the exception of her early recollections, Zi Tung suffers an accident while caught in the middle of the two. Her thoughts went back to when she was in elementary school. Then she forced Yau Chin to assist her in regaining her memory and resolving other problems. However, Zi Tung’s family is in trouble and is in need of getting the real Zi Tung back. Will Lui Zi Tung recover her memory or carry on thinking like a child?

The Feel-Good Part:

The performances of the main starcast is commendable.

The Disappointing Factor:

The plot is quite dated.

In-Depth Analysis:

Ding Yau Ching is more well known as Ding Kor, a beauty KOL (short for Key Opinion Leader, also known as an Influencer) who became well-known for his scathing remarks and dissing of ineffective goods. He is vehemently opposed to the thought of receiving compensation or collaborating with brands that will limit his capacity to speak his mind and be himself. In addition to being the founder and CEO of a high-end beauty company, Amanda Lei is a contender to carry on her father’s real estate and investment empire. Charlie is Amanda’s right and left-hand man who assists her in business and is aware that he is a double agent working for the throne with her elder brother. She still has some faith in him in spite of that. On the other hand, Charlie is a smart guy who knows how to advance up the corporate ladder without letting others sabotage his efforts. The accident caused the unrequited love for Amanda to drift even further apart.

Star Power:

Starring Ruco Chan, Owen Cheng, Samantha Ko Ling, and many others. The lighthearted romantic comedy-drama starts when Amanda Lei (Samantha Ko) wakes up as 8-year-old Tung Tung after inadvertently hitting her head in Ding Yau Ching’s (Owen Cheng) restroom. Her candor and genuineness move those around her, and Zi-tung encourages Yau-ying to never lose sight of her innocence as a youngster. The two start to develop affection for one another. Even if they are content with their lives, Zi-brain tung’s damage worsens. The performance of Ruco is praised. He later forms a relationship with Kandy while portraying Samantha’s assistant as someone who is secretly in love with her. He performs more naturally than you might anticipate!

Overall Opinion:

The play is well-produced overall, with a good mix of humor and the important information the scriptwriters seek to convey. A variety of seasoned actors and actresses from the TVB family make up the hand-selected casts. The storyline might not but the acting would definitely win the hearts.
