Initially, I had my doubts about this drama, mostly because of the plot. But boy was I wrong! This was a very enjoyable drama, full of laughs and tears, great music, and superb acting from the numerous veterans as well as the newcomers.
Because this drama is kinda character heavy, I will be structuring the analysis with each M Club members with related characters as their individual bullet points, if that makes any sense.
Carman Lee as Mo Siu Sze
She's the most 義氣 of her friends. When she found that her friend Cyndi needed help in managing her dance studio, she was very willing to spend time and money to become responsible for her business which was falling apart and in quite an amount of debt. She was the only one in M Club with a "traditional" family - a husband and a daughter. Unfortunately for her, there's also her husband's mother that was always there to blame her and disrespect her. Only until after her husband die did his mother actually consider her as family. And so I have to say that Carman's role is a very patient person and to her, both family and friends come first. She truly loves her husband, and so she decided not to fall into a relationship with Alan. She is a very strong woman who can be a bit silly at times, but that makes her quite adorable. She doesn't mind that others might laugh at her for pursing her dreams, because she knows she will succeed. Very likeable character. In the end, we see her writing the screenplay for the M Club film proposed by Eric Tsang, who made a guest appearance.
- Anjaylia Chan as Mo Siu Sze (Teenage)
When she was young, she had a huge crush on Alan; however, Julie confided in her that she was interested in Alan, and so Siu Sze decided to give up even though they were obviously interested in one another. When she realized that Julie liked someone else, it was already too late: Alan went to study abroad. - Lawrence Cheng as Wong Kwok Leung
A character whose most important task in life is satisfying the three women in his life: his mother, his wife, and his daughter. He works a lot, so he often do not have the time to spend with his family. He unfortunately died from getting hit by a car. - Heidi Lee as Wong Ho
Her relationship with her mother is awful at first, she also takes her grandmother's side, and she was a very annoying character. However, it all changed when she found that her mother is supportive of her dream to become a lingerie designer. This was, of course, after everyone thought that she was gay until Carrie found out that she was just interested in the designs of bras. - Steven Chueng as Mo Chi KinI found his character pretty
boring. I'm not really into Star Wars, so I did not find common grounds
with him. He's a loser whose goal in life is to find aliens, and plus,
he's unemployed. He did not find another purpose in life until he met
Carrie.
She's a character who one might call selfish, but I think that her flawed character was interesting and very realistic. When we first meet her, she was ready to marry a super rich guy who turned out to be gay and an asshole. She then tried to pursue Alan when she was broke, all while taking advantage of Siu Sze. She became a sort of aerobic model after a video of her dancing went viral. She vowed not to trust anyone, but she then realized what it means to have friends. She flip-flops a lot in her relationship with M Club.
- Venus Wong as Chu Lei, Julie (Teenage)
She was bullied by Dan Dan for she is from Mainland China because Dan Dan sensed that she was being replaced by Julie. Julie seems like an innocent girl at first, but she turned out to be a lying bitch; honestly though, I can't blame her for leaving Lorelei. What pregnant teenage girl, without her other half and without supportive family members would bear to endure the struggles of raising a kid? - Not sure as Julie's aunt
This woman treated Julie awfully throughout her entire childhood and teenage years. Then, when Julie was famous and had financial ability, she wanted to take advantage of her and asked her for money. Despicable woman. - Eliza Sam as Tong Ga Lai/Carrie/Lorelei
She initially thought that Siu Sze was her mom, and when she found that Julie was her mom instead, she refused to accept her. She later did, after being persuaded by her father and Siu Sze, but she once again loses her trust in Julie after she found out that, spoilers, Julie was actually the one who abandoned Carrie and blamed the rest of M Club. - Joe Tay Cheng as Poon Chun Kit/Robert
Because he was afraid of being tied down, of being changed, he left Julie without a word. He was very carefree, and he's also very artistic, and we saw him particularly as a photographer. - Amigo Choi as Poon Chun Kit/Robert (Teenage)
The last time I've seen this guy film was in one of the Gods Must Be Crazy films. I also finally realized who Amigo Choi is (after hearing all about him and his thing with Natalie Tong). Solid acting, dressed really strangely, pretty likeable character. The only question is, why was there a statue of him? Anyway, he wants to settle and find a wife to start a family, and lo and behold, turns out he has a daughter! We saw him reintroduced as a yoga master at none other than the D Fitness dance studio, and at that time, he did not seemed regretful for abandoning Julie. However, was regretful after he found out the truth. So yeah, he ended up back with Julie and Carrie. Happy ending, hooray!
Seemingly heartless at first, but then we discover her softer side - the Dan Dan who is still in love with Alan and wants to be a stay-at-home wife who knows how to cook. She is a pretty good dancer, specializing in funky aerobics. We see her endlessly tried to pursue Alan back, but she felt that sh was losing to Siu Sze. This woman does not like losing - she feels that she will gain everything if she would just win. Fantastic acting.
- Jeannie Chan as Yung Dan Dan/Diana (Teenage)
She was jealous of Julie so she left M Club. A pretty good dancer, but she uses nasty methods to get her way, such as removing M Club from some dance competition in school. M Club got her back by making her fart in front of the audience though.Good grades, good dancer, decent looking girl, but her Achilles heel is her smelly armpits. - Lawrence Ng as Yiu Tsz Lun/Alan
Initially seemed to be a backless guy who wants to avoid women at all cost. His ex-wife is Dan Dan, and he has a "daughter", which is his cat. However, he changed after he met M Club once again. He had a crush on Siu Sze, but he was turned down, and he finally ended up back with Dan Dan as friends. I can sort of understand why he would refuse to go back with Dan Dan, because that character is definitely someone hard to communicate with, let alone love. - Matthew Ho as Yiu Tsz Lun/Alan (Teenage)
First off, he has some nice brows! Anyway, he was the crush of a lot of people, including most of M Club. Julie was the first to proclaim to everyone she likes him, but he likes Siu Sze back. Because of wrong timing and Dan Dan's doing, those two did not end up together.
The only member of M Club who did not give up on her dreams, she loves aerobic and wants nothing more than dancing and winning aerobic competitions. She also has a pretty terrible stepbrother. She unfortunately went crazy; she got better. but then we found out that she has cancer. Because of this, she was unable to perform with the rest of M Club in their final aerobic competition. It was all she ever wanted - to be able to dance with her friends. However, Carrie had to take over.
- Annice Ng as Law Fung Sin/Cyndi (Teenage)
She was constantly bullied by her half brother, but luckily, she has her friends to always be by her side. - Not sure as Cyndi's half-brother
One of the antagonist, he's a despicable person throughout his life, and he even tried to steal Cyndi's dance studio away from her. Constantly bullied Cyndi in their teenage years. He somewhat finally acknowledged her as his sister in the end.
I remember seeing her in Dragon Love, and so I was glad that she is back onscreen. She felt guilty for losing Julie's daughter, and so she went from being very talkative to not saying much at all. She was desperate for love, and so she was willing to have an affair with her coworker, even though he was an asshole. Tried to commit suicide but was luckily found by Julie. Has two sons in London.
- Cheronna Ng as Luk Yuen Chau (Teenage)
Super talkative. Her whole family do prominent government things, such as being judges.
- Patrick Dunn as LY
Hey look, another despicable character! He only wants Yuen Chau for sex, and persuaded her to join his business even though she was reluctant by being cold to her when she showed hesitance, knowing full well how this affects her.
First, I want to note that I did not recognize this actress until my mom told me that she was in one of the Gods Must Be Crazy movie (the same one that Joe Tay Cheng was in) and boy does she look different! Anyway, in the role she is playing here, she was desperate in keeping her husband, and so she betrayed her friends. However, once she found out that the real culprit was Cyndi's brother, she decided to leave her asshole of a husband. She later accepted Dr. House (played by Brian Burrell) and is truly happy with a man who likes her and won't insult her as well as her best friends.
- Kandy Wong as Leung Gam Yin/Akina/Fei Choi (Teenage)
Used to be really fat, so everyone called her Fei Choi. She was also very short, and so her mom thought she might actually be a legal midget. - Koo Ming-Wah as Yue Dai Hun
One of the antagonist of this drama, he constantly berates his wife until he needed her, which was when he showered her with insincere compliments and whatnot. He wanted to struck rich, and so he wanted to use his wife to betray her friends. Despicable and selfish.
This character went from a maneater to a "si lai" who took no care of her own appearance and spent all her time taking care of her bitter mother. She was so "dry" that she considered having sex with a delivery guy whose appearance was as unkempt as hers was. Personally, I would have gone with him rather than who Jenny went with, which was Chi Kin's friend (Fok Gam Fai) because he's so much hotter. Ahem, anyway! She was finally freed of her tedious life when her mom was no longer being salty, and she started dressing well. She got pregnant by Gam Fai.
- Winki Lai as Hui Jan Ne/Jenny (Teenage)
The most mature out of her friends. She disliked how her mom seems to be around plenty of men, and ruined her mom's love life by being selfish. - Rosanne Lui as Hui Sin
Unlikeable character until she found her Benny, which then propels her into a suddenly loving mother. We also found that she unselfishly gave up Benny in order to keep her daughter happy. - Luk Wing as Fok Gam Fai
He has a thing for older women. First it was Julie, and then it was Angie, who he managed to court.
