Not Just A Pretty Face - Season 1 (2003)

WU MAN SHUI, PEG is podgy and ugly. When she was younger, she met a boy who said to her: “A good heart is all that it takes to make you beautiful.” She found it very encouraging and still bears his words in mind. After graduation from university, PEG is offered a job by the Sky High Public Relations Ltd. In the street, PEG meets KWOR SIU CIT, LEONARDO who falls down in a faint. Immediately she gives him artificial respiration and saves his life. PEG’s supervisor AMANDA announces that Sky High has been taken over by Fok Enterprises and that a man called LEONARDO is assigned to take charge of the day-to-day management of the company. LEONARDO feels ashamed to have been saved by PEG by means of artificial respiration, and thus tries every possible way to drive her out of the company. Meanwhile, PEG discovers that her boyfriend WONG KWOK HO has an affair with YEUNG HOI MAI who is her friend and colleague……

The angel appears in the shape of a dog and stays at PEG’s home so that he can keep a close eye on her. PEG has successfully convinced Mr. FOK WING HANG, the Director of Fok Enterprises, to re-employ her. The gorgeous PEG returns to Sky High and all members of staff there are astonished to see her back. They believe she has a very close relationship with Mr. FOK and no longer look down upon her. Thinking that she has achieved a special status, even HO asks to get back with her. LEONARDO’s brother SIU LUNG works as a stunt man. He is a rough fellow and has a little misunderstanding with PEG’s sister SHEUNG. LEONARDO’s sister SIU KEI works at the TV station as a producer. She makes up a story and spreads slanderous rumors about the restaurant owned by YAN and CHING. The three of them have therefore become enemies. LEONARDO and his family move to the flat next to PEG’s. The two families that are on bad terms bicker constantly……

The angel urges PEG, who is in a bad mood, to accomplish her mission as soon as possible. The two of them immediately get into a terrible quarrel. PEG is so depressed and she feels ashamed of her background too. YAN and CHING explain that SHEUNG is actually the one who was adopted, and PEG soon feels a sense of relief. PEG is constantly thinking about how to get MAI and LEONARDO together. To accomplish her mission, she even considers murdering MAI’s fiance. But every time she attempts to commit evil deeds, she becomes ugly again. PEG and LEONARDO bicker a lot in the office and WILSON just tries to keep aloof from the conflict. PEG offers to assist in the liaison with Cheuk Enterprises which is a very prestigious client. During the meeting, PEG is utterly opposed to LEONARDO’s suggestions, which irks him beyond measure. LEONARDO can no longer put up with her and dismisses her in a rage……

The WUs and the KWORs are reconciled after the dinner, but PEG and LEONARDO still stay on bad terms with each other. TRAMY thinks highly of PEG and is confident in her ability. PEG takes her good relationship with TRAMY as a shield and can therefore make use of LEONARDO as much as possible – she asks LEONARDO to drive her and the angel to the film studio to look for clues. PEG and the angel have found FUNG but FUNG, who does not seem very friendly, drives them off. WILSON asks PEG out for a date, which gives her a great thrill. PEG asks the angel if WILSON is in love with her, but the angel warns her not to judge by appearances. LEONARDO happens to discover that WILSON spends most of his time on computer games and pays no attention to the business of the company. He means to speak ill of WILSON in front of HANG. LEONARDO and his colleagues are all busy arranging an event for the elderly……

CHING decides to give YAN a second chance because she does not want her family to break up. SHEUNG’s biological mother cannot afford the treatment, so PEG gives her some money. PEG really has a tough time with her family problems, and LEONARDO is happy to see her suffer. In fact, it is just part of his plot to take revenge on the WUs. LEONARDO’s grandfather SHUE YUNG and PEG’s grandfather TSU KAU were friends. Many years ago they bought a lottery ticket and won a prize. YUNG was so happy and excited that he had a heart attack and died, while KAU disappeared without a trace. HOI believes that KAU had gobbled up all the money won after YUNG died, and he swears to seek revenge on KAU’s descendants. AMANDA tells LEONARDO that she gets pregnant and she insists that he is the father of the baby. PEG discovers that TRAMY’s identity card number matches the one shown by the angel, and decides to get her and LEONARDO together……
