Au Yeung Wai Lai (Yuen Qiu), owner of a martial arts training school, is reunited with her long lost son Koo Yu Cheung (Kevin Cheng) after years of agonizing separation. Upon his return home, Cheung is shocked to find that his younger brother Koo Yu Tong (Kenneth Ma) has been critically ill and that his father was murdered long ago by Wing Tak (Dominic Lam), the current director of a pharmaceutical company and a bitter old foe of the Koo’s. Cheung has never been into kung-fu but shows only glimpses of his potential when he strikes back at the impudent, arrogant Wing Man Kwan (Jacky Heung), the son of Tak. Pinning all her hopes on Cheung, Lan not only teaches him a special set of kung-fu skills created by the family, but also registers him for the Guangdong Boxing Championship Tournament. Out of the blue, Cheung’s opponent in the final turns out to be Kwan.

TVB Weekly Issue 658

Issue 663 of TVB Weekly features the main cast of currently airing sitcom O.L. Supreme, including Liza Wang, Denise Ho, Chapman To, Ron Ng, and Koni Lui. I haven’t started the show but according to most of the viewers, O.L. Supreme is enjoyable. Liza takes on a different persona from her super bossy and powerful image in the War of In-Laws duology. Ron is a bus geek, very detached from his previous hot-tempered roles. Koni exerts more feminine charms. Chapman and Denise create hilarious situations. What’s not to see?

In search of the last model for his painting “Nine Pretty Women”, acclaimed scholar Tong Bak Fu (Moses Chan) goes on a trip to Hangzhou with his ardent disciple Wat Kei (Johnson Lee). While there, he meets a pretty young maid from the Wah’s residence, Chau Heung (Myolie Wu). Fu is mesmerized by Heung’s beauty and martial agility, and falls in love with her right away. In order to approach the girl, he disguises as a servant and assumes the pseudonym Wah On, seeking to win her affection with his talent and ingenuity. But contrary to his wishes, Heung is unmoved and even harbours an intense dislike for him after a series of misunderstandings. Master of the family, Wah Hung Shan (Ha Yu) knew from the very beginning that Fu is not a common man. By the time his true identity is revealed, the scholar has already developed a close bond with the entire family, except Heung.

Unbelievable. It took slightly over 6 months for me to recap this very, very, very SHORT travel show. I can’t fathom how some bloggers do this almost every day, writing extremely detailed summaries for dramas over 20, even 30 episodes long. (If you follow Korean dramas, you’ll know exactly which bloggers I’m talking about.) Me? I officially suck at recapping shows episodically. I wish I was *that* dedicated. But nevertheless, I made it and we’re here, at the very last chapter of Sakura Memories. Banzai!!

Have you figured out what "happiness" is? Did Niki Chow manage to show it to you or tell you where it can be found (in Japan)? Are you able to see it, taste it, touch it, feel it … in your own life?
