Heart of Greed - 溏心風暴


Rating: 4 out of 5
Type: TVB
Date: 2007
Episodes: 40

Sypnosis: It is a story of a renowned sea-products retailer and a big traditional family, in which there are those who manage to endure to the end, those who consider themselves superior to everyone else, those who love and respect their brothers, those who seek every opportunity to fulfill their ambition, those who stay loyal to their beloved, and those who remain grateful for whatever they get.

Review: Typical TVB family series. Entertaining to watch. Love Lee Sze Kei's quotes in the series.

Casts:

Started out good then after Wu Fei grew up it gets boring and boring all the way to end. They even changed the ending and added additional unnecessary scenes. Don't know why they need to mess up this story.

Synopsis: Apparently a comic adaption. After a year of working at a neighborhood Italian restaurant, Ban Shogo (Matsumoto Jun), an enthusiastic, cocky young college student from Fukuoka, comes to Tokyo to perfect his cooking skills as a chef in Italian cuisine. He discovers he has much to learn and has to continually prove himself to the very competitive, quick and efficient staff at the upscale Italian restaurant.

Review: A nice short series about a college student who dedicates himself to being an Italian chef. Nice to see Matsumoto Jun in this series. He is a cute Bambino!
