Introduction:
"Glittering Days" mainly tells the story of three sisters-in-law who married into wealthy families—Maggie Siu, Pearl Lam, and Cathy Tsai. The eldest sister Maggie Siu is career-oriented and hardworking; the second sister Pearl Lam has a more innocent personality and prioritizes love; the youngest sister Cathy Tsai is ambitious and outspoken. The three sisters marry into three wealthy families. Due to business competition among their husbands, the three sisters also fall out with each other at one point. The producer of the drama, Kei Chi-yi, stated that unlike traditional long-running TVB dramas, "Glittering Days" does not involve family grudges like "who is whose illegitimate child," nor does it have scenes of "fighting and killing." Instead, it focuses more on conflicts of human nature and touching emotions. Additionally, the drama provides a detailed depiction of high society, which is another major highlight.
The story revolves around three sisters-in-law with different personalities—A Yan, A Tung, and A Si. They are noble and elegant, with the blood of aristocracy, and every gesture exudes the grace of a well-bred lady. In the course of their lives, they meet the young elites of the city. These individuals know how to enjoy life, whether it's savoring red wine, smoking cigars, setting sail out to sea, or racing yachts in the waves. They meet, fall in love, and part ways, getting entangled in the world of commercial battles. Together, they grow, reflect, awaken, and experience the ups and downs of life. Life, like a diamond, is not precious because of fame and power, but because of sincerity and loyalty. Only then can life be like a diamond, eternal and unchanging, radiating an immortal brilliance.
