Story Overview
"Light Of Million Hopes" consists of Dang Shui Hei's (Fung Bo Bo) life of learning and struggling, in which she experiences many great big history changes, such as the "'67 revolt," "'73 stock-depression," "tragic accident in Lan Gui Fong on New Year," etc. There's a story on each person, and a pictorial of many thousands who share the same story. Shui Hei is an optimistic, traditional chinese woman who makes sure her husband and children are happy, which makes her happiness. Shui Hei comes to Hong Kong to find her husband among other refugees during the 60s, yet her husband is married to another woman and even takes their eldest son away from her to raise. A stranger in Hong Kong, Shui Hei along with her son and two daughters live in "Wood House Area." Since she doesn't have much education, she starts working as a factory woman to redeem her self esteem and her life-support, to continue her love and hope to the next generation.

It is a show of family morals, values, and the relationship among people. The show paints a vivid picture of Hong Kong from the 1960s-2003 with many characters, relationships, and events.

I was reading the story sypnosis of LOMH on this site ( http://ch8.mediacorptv.com/shows/drama/view/354/1/.html ) and I realized the original story was actually changed after the series was extended to 155 eps.

Crystal (Ko Guai) was suppose to marry an old rich man to get out of the family? Fung Bo Bo (Hei Ma) tries to dissuade her and this deepens their misunderstanding? None of these plots were in the actual story at all as Crystal married Ricky.

i also believe ktsf is airing this series on at like 8 or 9 pm on weekdays lol for ATV, this is a pretty good series =D

the only tape I like out of this series was when Joey Meng died... I don't like Crystal Tin character that much...

yea, I didn't like Crystal Tin's charcacter either...she had such a bad temper...

I liked this series a lot...there was too much stuff happening all at once tho. It's pretty good for ATV...and Remus Kam(the guy who plays the 2nd wife's real son) was soooooooooooooo HOT in it.

ohhh sounds interesting n pwetty gud drama....i havent seen it so...gotta get n try 2 rent it nows...ehehz...=]

I watched this serie already, It's a very good serie indeed. If those who haven't seen you, should definitely rent it.

its showing on tv right now.. im wondering if i should watch it =)

of course you should!

haha, it's a really long series, but it's worth watching. it's great...i highly recommend it also.

hmm this is an old topic but i'll still comment anyways. thanks lilliums, i did decide to watch this after all.. my aunt rented the tapes for me when i had nothing else to watch. so yea, it was actually really really good!

Derek To is really cute in here.. even though he's a baddie in here haha. but he turned good again and that part where he was crying.. awww... i liked the humourous side of this series, especially between Hei Ma and Leng Ma. i like their relationship in here, they're so cute as "sisters".

overall this series was really heartwarming and touching. i loved the part at the end, with Fung Bo Bo (Hei Ma) at her opening ceremony for her school and her speech

but i hafta complain about some things... i didn't like the part with Kenny Lin & Elena Kong. the part where she was prosecuted was really sad but their scenes together were very boring.

they are aring it in canada, 2 eps every weekend night
I just watch a few eps when my mom watch it
the story seems interesting.
I don't like to watch it bc it is too long.

The taiwan lady is pretty.
i like her character...
she has a nice smile...Click to view attachment

I thought this was a great series to watch! So much drama and twists in the plot! o.O was pretty long but very enjoyable

i agree she's pretty

except i hate her character! ughHh o.O

how long is this? I so want to wwatch it it seems so darn goot!

really i'm fr. canada too and they're airing 5 epi every weekend.



well as you can see from above the cantonese version has 155 epis

This was a very long series! OK for story line - epic story I suppose from young kid to old parents! I think it's an ATV production.

i don't like this show mainly because my parents watch it every saturday and it's too long! It's kind of boring too but very sad.

I think this series is way too long. Nowadays people like shorter and intense tv show like the Split Second.

I can't stand watchin this series anymore! They should have stopped this series at episode 30 or 40 instead of 155!

i think this is a great movie, if u havn't watch it yet u should watch it but some parts get boring. well does anyone know who sings the mean theme song to lights of million hopes? if u do plz email to xaznxicexdragon@hotmail.com thanks for helping. let the lights of million hope shine to yu and don't give up in ur dream like fong bo bo says

i love this series, the ending could be better, joey could be alive and be with the police guy not her childhood friend, he later was really anoying, I love that second oldest girl go back to her old lover, the ending is good

nah...i loved this series...so much..its an ATv classic now..in my eyes..very moving story....some of you may have found it too long and boring..but i thought it was well written..and very intersting..hope to see more ATV series like this one!

this was one of my favorite atv series... i wish joey didnt die.. but i guess it worked in a way... because it talked about the trials and tribulations and hardships the family went through... so in a sense it makes sense... but it also makes it seem like the hardships arae overdone.. but nevertheless still a good series...

It was a long series, but I enjoyed it! I liked the way Marco and Noel quarreled with each other at the beginning. Too bad Noel died and omg Remus Kam was sooo HOT!

when i was in hk, i saw the preview of this show and it was really attractive, but when i saw the 1st episode it was boring, it only gets better in the middle, but it was an alright show

this series is the best tv series i've seen so far... and it beats any tvb series for sure. i think that atv series have better plots and actors/actresses... its just that the props and stuff aren't as great... i guess because they don't have enough money as tvb. tvb hires actresses/actors that have no talent. atv has better plots and talent!!

this series was really long, but it was a very worth while. it was like soup for the soul. lol! so good!

I remember this series. I loved it soo much. It was so sad when Joey was raped and then turned into a prositute to get money for the family. I liked her character the most and felt soo sorry for her. Really great drama. Became an instant fan of many of the actors and actresses. If you only watch one ATV series, it should be this one.

agree with everyone this series is a really good and interesting series
love all the cast
this is the second best ATV series i seen
[the first one was "the good and old days"]

this series started out pretty good. it also gives some history of Hong Kong as they go along with the story plot. then toward from the middle it gets the storyline kind of turn bad

i watch this series a few years back and i totally fell in love with it. so so so so good. i haven't seen something this great from atv for a while. this is totally worth everyone's time to watch. watch it!

i want to watch this drama since so many people reccomend it
