Well, this
is the first time I'm summarizing a "mo hap" series, I
think. A lot of you have probably seen the old version of the
series starring Tse Yin and Ray Liu and I have too. However, it's
been sooo long that I totally don't recall any of the details of
the series. Therefore, for those of you who don't know the story
of Suet San Fei Wu, here it is...
To try and unconfuse you about the characters:
Felix plays Maggie's husband and Sunny's dad
Liu Kai Chee is Felix's friend and Liu is very grateful to Felix
because Felix gave him money when he was in debt. Therefore, he
took care of Sunny.
A little bit of history:
This story starts off as a story of revenge which has been going
on for over a century between Felix's family, the
"Wu's", and 3 other families. These are the
"Teen" (Cheung Siu Fai's family), "Fan", and
"Miu" (Wan Yeurng Ming's family) families. All of it
pretty much started off as a misunderstanding. A century before
the series begins, the Ming Dynasty was still in power. The king
had 4 guards which were ancestors from the 4 families listed
above. Not only were they very good friends, but the king held
them in high regard. The king had a lot of money which he got
from corrupt lords and decided to create a safe place to hide the
money which would be used in time of need. The map was split up
into 2 and hidden in gifts to the "Teen" and
"Miu" families. Soon the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by
the Ching people and the Ching Dynasty came to power. Felix's
ancestor, in order to protect the king, decided to become a spy
on the enemy's side. However, the other 3 guards thought he was a
traitor and killed him. The second generation of Felix (the Wu's)
contacted the 3 guards and showed them that the king was indeed
still alive. However, they were killed by the Ching soldiers. The
second generation of these 3 families thought the "Wu"
family killed their fathers and from then on, it has always been
one side of the family killing the other. (I hope this makes
sense to you guys)
Episodes
1-4
Not much has really happened in the first 4 episodes. The
series starts off with Sunny and Liu Kai Chee living up on the
mountain and working for this family, who is supposedly related
to Sunny's mom, Maggie. However, Liu Kai Chee, in order to hide
Sunny's identity, has changed his name. They have lived in this
relatively secluded area for many years and during this time, Liu
Kai Chee has tried to teach Sunny the "Wu kung fu"
which his dad, Felix, left for him. Unfortunately, the first few
pages of the booklet were torn out and Sunny never mastered the
kung fu.
One day, Eddie and someone from the "Fan" family arrive
saying that they are chasing after someone who claims to be
"Wu Fei". Liu Kai Chee and Sunny hide because they
thought Eddie was referring to Sunny. However, Eddie was
referring to someone else. This fake "Wu Fei" was
actually part of Eddie's plan so that he could search the
mountain for the map to the treasure, which he somehow knew was
there. Eddie threatens to kill people in the house if the owner
of the house refuses to "hand out" the so-called
"Wu Fei". Sunny, not wanting to witness the deaths of
these innocent people, comes out and admits that he is "Wu
Fei". Next, Wah Yeurng Ming makes his appearance and finds
the other "Wu Fei" who was on his way down the mountain
already. In order to determine who the real "Wu Fei"
is, he decides to test their "kung fu". He decides that
neither is "Wu Fei". (Remember that Sunny has not
mastered the Wu kung fu yet) Afterwards, Eddie, not wanting to
reveal his plan, kills the person he hired to pretend to be
"Wu Fei". However, Sunny and Liu Kai Chee witness the
murder and decide to leave the mountain. They also eavesdrop on
Eddie speaking to the owner of the house. A little bit about the
treasure and Sunny's mother are discussed. Unfortunately, Sunny
and Liu Kai Chee are discovered and they are being chased. They
fall into a passageway in the snow during the chase. Eddie
wrongly assumes that they are dead. The passage they fall into is
actually where the treasure is held...
When Sunny and Liu Kai Chee go into the room, they see all of the
gold. Liu recalls that Maggie mentioned something about the
mountain they've been living on and realizes that she was
referring to this room that they found. Inside the room, they
find 3 dead bodies and a book that Felix left. This is where the
flashback of Felix and Maggie's story begins...
First,there's an account of Sunny's ancestors which I mentioned
in the "history" part above. In the beginning, Felix
was out to search for the members of the 3 families to explain to
them how the misunderstanding between these 4 families was
started. Because he heard that the head of these 3 families went
to visit a house on the mountain, he decided to go there. On the
way up the mountain, he meets Maggie in a "hak chang"
(restaurant/hotel place). She is in there telling a story to the
local villagers about a famous "Dai Hup" named "
Wu Yut Do" (so in essence, she's telling a story about how
Felix helped the poor and taught the corrupt lords a lesson) . I
guess Felix was kind of amused by her. Being the modest person
that he is, Felix says that what "Wu Yut Do" did wasn't
that great. By doing this, the villagers thought he was
disrespecting the famous "dai hup" and they tell him to
leave. Maggie, however, tells him to finish his drink before he
goes and Felix finishes off a huge jug of wine while Maggie
watches in amazement. She decides to follow him and realizes that
he's going to her cousin's home.
Felix and Maggie decide to have a race to see who can find the
treasure first. Although Felix reaches the cave first, they
cannot figure out how to get the door open. Back in her home,
Maggie finally figures out how the door opens. Her fiancé (he's
also her cousin) pressures her to reveal the secret. Maggie,
seeing how ambitious and selfish he is, decides to trade the
secret in exchange for the annulment of their
engagement/marriage. Her fiancé never reaches the cave though
because the map that Maggie drew for him is stolen by the members
of the 3 families (Felix's enemies). Her fiancé is pushed down
the mountain. They made their way to the cave and found all of
the treasure inside. Tempted by greed, they ended up killing each
other in the cave. Maggie asks Felix to save her fiancé and he
does. After they rescue him, they find out that the culprits were
headed for the cave and decided to go and see what became of
them.
Inside the cave, they see the dead bodies. Maggie is disheartened
by the selfishness which exists in society. She mistakenly
assumes that Felix will kill her but he doesn't. Therefore, she
makes Felix a proposition: he can either accept her proposal and
marry her or he can have all the treasure in the cave. Of course,
Felix gives up all the money and agrees to marry her. He had
admired her all along and was disappointed when he found out that
she was engaged. They decided to write a diary of the events
leading up to the discovery of the treasure so that someone in
the future would know of their story and the conflicts of the 4
families.
Maggie and Felix had been living happily for many months when
someone claimed to be the "best kung fu fighter". Being
the accomplished fighter that he was, Felix was eager to meet
this person and thus he and his pregnant wife make their way to a
hotel.
At this point, the story flashes back to the present. Liu Kai
Chee decides to tell Sunny the rest of the story of how his
parents died
so we flash back again.
Episodes
5-8
Wan Yeung Ming had taken up the title of "the best kung fu
fighter" in order to lure Felix out. Ming wanted to avenge
the death of his father (he thought Felix killed him). The sons
from the other 2 families came also (one of them was Eddie Cheung
Siu Fai). Ming and Felix quickly became good friends, each
admired the other for their "mo kung". Unfortunately,
the duty of revenge laid on Ming's shoulders. Eddie and the son
from the other family tried to interfere with the whole revenge
issue. They were eager for revenge and used dirty tricks to try
to kill Felix and Maggie. In the end, Ming and Felix became
victims of his plan...What had happened was Maggie was in labor
and they had to find a doctor for her. They ended up finding a
greedy doctor who only thought of money. When Felix sent this
doctor to bring Ming a note telling of the misunderstandings in
the 4 families, this doctor brought the note to Eddie instead
because he wanted money. Eddie told the doctor to put poison on
Felix and Ming's swords. The next day, when the fight began
again, Felix was cut by Ming because he didn't want to injure
Ming. The poisoned cut killed Felix. Eddie came in and killed
Maggie off too. Ming tried to save her but there were too many
men he had to fight. Before Maggie died, she handed her son,
Sunny, over to Liu Kai Chee and told him to go to the room and
get the "mo kung" handbook in their baggage and to go
back to the mountain where Felix had left a diary about the
misunderstandings between the 4 families.
After seeing that Maggie had died, Liu Kai Chee ran with the baby
back to the room and saw the doctor digging through the baggage
and immediatly guessed that he had something to do with the death
of his friend. Liu tried to grab the handbook from him but the
book ripped and he lost a few pages. Then he ran with the baby
with Eddie chasing after him. Eddie cut off Liu Kai Chee's arm
(ewwww) and the suffering Liu jumped into the river in order to
avoid Eddie's sword. Luckily, he and the baby survived.
This is the entire flashback of the past. Now we go back to Sunny
and Liu Kai Chee in the present. They decided to leave the cave
and go far from the mountain in order to stay away from Eddie.
Sunny and Liu go to Felix and Maggie's grave. There, they see Wan
Yeung Ming and his daughter, Charmaine, paying tribute to Felix
and Maggie. Remember that Liu still thinks Ming is responsible
for the deaths. Disgusted, he drags Sunny away. At this point,
Ming tells of his past concerning his wife. (This part was kindda
boring so I'll just give the gist of it) Ming's wife was the
daughter of a high official. Her father was killed and Ming saved
her. He decided to take care of her. After their marriage, she
wasn't very happy because Ming was a boring man who only thought
of kung fu. One day, Eddie comes to visit Ming. He falls in love
with Ming's wife and they elope. She left her baby girl and Ming
behind.
Liu Kai Chee gets sick and they seek refuge in this house because
it is raining. As though by fate, they also see the doctor in the
house, who was also seeking shelter from the rain. Next,
Charmaine and Ming show up. And lastly, Eddie and his wife show
up. (this was the oddest scene thus far...everyone shows up in
the house at the same time??? talk about wierd) Anyways, Sunny
goes up to the doctor and threatens to reveal his identity if he
doesn't give back the first few pages to his dad's "kung
fu" booklet. The doctor freaks out and returns it to him
(yeah right, like he's been carrying it with him all these
years...) Charmaine rejects her mom and she leaves with her dad.
Eddie and his wife leave soon after.
The next part is kindda interesting but hard to explain. The lady
who owns the house is actually Wan Yeung Ming's enemy. Felix had
killed the woman's husband for Ming. ( This is because while Ming
and Felix were having that big fight, Felix asked Ming if he had
anything left he wanted to accomplish. Ming stated that he had to
kill someone for a friend. So Felix helped him kill this guy.
confusing....huh?) This old lady therefore, wanted to kill Felix
and Ming (she didn't know Felix was dead).
Anyways, Sunny and Liu stay for a few more days because Liu's
still recovering. During that time, another man appears. This guy
happens to be #3 from the Red Lotus Society (Hung Fa Wui).
(ok....now I have to tell the history of the Red Lotus Society.
If you guys have taken Chinese History or read Jin Yong's other
novel the Legend of the Book and the Sword, you will realize that
Flying Fox is kind of a sequel in that some of the characters
reappear. The Red Lotus Society were people of Han descent who
wanted to restore the Han people into power and get rid of the
Ching Dynasty. Anyways, if you remember from Book & Sword,
the main members of the society are Chan Ka Lok and the
"dang ka's"--there were like 14 of them if I recall
correctly. the guy Sunny meets here is guy #3 from the Red Lotus
Society)
The old lady apparently held a grudge against #3 also. After she
found out that Sunny was Felix's son, she tried to kill Sunny and
#3. However, they ended up escaping and because she had failed in
killing them, it was as though she lost her will to live.
Therefore, she jumped into the fire and died. Her son believed
that Sunny was the culprit. He wasn't bad or anything, just that
he's really gullible.
Sunny and #3 later decided to become blood brothers. #3 taught
Sunny his Tai Chi Kung Fu and gave him his white horse and some
money. He had to leave because their were things from the Red
Lotus Society that he had to take care of.
Meanwhile, in a hotel, the old lady's son tried to kill Sunny.
Sunny was trying to avoid getting injured but at the same time,
he didn't want to injure the other guy. Just then, Joyce makes an
appearance and sides with the other guy without even hearing the
entire story. The other guy leaves. Joyce sort of dislikes Sunny
because of this.
Joyce is a member of the Red Lotus Society also. She is #4's
wife's disciple. She recognized Sunny's white horse and thought
that he stole it from #3, and therefore steals it from Sunny. She
also ends up taking Sunny's money. Sunny is forced to go after
her because the horse was a gift from his blood brother. So he's
off trying to find his horse. Joyce returns to the Red Lotus
Society. The Society has some business to take care of. Marco
makes his appearance as Chan Ka Lok, the head of the Red Lotus
Society (he plays several characters in the series, the first
being Chan Ka Lok--a good guy).
Episodes
9-10
Marco learns that the king's illegitimate son is going to be sent
out. He meets with others to discuss plans of stopping this guy
from causing problems in the "kong wu". We find out
that Joyce is in love with Marco (Chan Ka Lok). However, in
Marco's mind, there is only "Heung Heung Princess", who
has died many years ago.
Meanwhile, Sunny meets Lieu Hiu Tung. She's dressed as a guy and
she's really funny. They become good friends. Lieu Hiu Tung is
actually Eddie's father-in-law's youngest disciple. Eddie pushed
his father-in-law down a cliff many years ago and caused his
paralysis. Later, Lieu Hiu Tung became the guy's disciple and it
was her responsibilty to help her mentor seek revenge on Eddie
but unfortunately, she was lazy and never learned all of his kung
fu before he died.
The Red Lotus Society has decided to kill some corrupt people.
Joyce begs for a chance to kill Eddie. Eddie is Joyce's father
and Lieu Hiu Tung's mentor's granddaughter. Joyce's mom saw Eddie
kill her father and tried to run from him but got stabbed by him.
She was pushed into the sea and resued by #4 and his wife of the
Red Lotus Society. Before she died, she asked them to take care
of Joyce. Therefore, Joyce really hates her dad. However, she
decides to save him twice before killing him since after all, he
is her dad.
Sunny and Lieu Hiu Tung try to kill Eddie but he is saved by
Joyce. This really angers Sunny because he was trying to avenge
his mom's death.
Episodes
11-18
Sunny is angry at Joyce for repeatedly saving Eddie. Joyce buys a
house for Sunny and Liu Kai Chee to live in as her way of
apologizing to him. However, he doesn't know this and is still
trying to figure out who bought the house. When he does find out
that it's Joyce, he angrily storms to the Red Lotus Society
house. #3 explains Joyce's past to him. Sunny goes to find Joyce
and she reluctantly tells him the story of how her father, Eddie,
killed her mom and grandfather. Sunny has actually started to
like Joyce. However, Joyce only likes Marco (Chan Ka Lok).
Sunny stays at the Red Lotus Society house and helps out with
their affairs. Marco (Chan Ka Lok) returns and tells them about
the king's illegitimate son, "Fook Hong On" coming to
the area. (The character "Fook Hong On" is also played
by Marco Ngai in the series. Therefore, from now on, I will refer
to them as Marco-good and Marco-evil in my summaries. Marco-evil
is "Fook Hong On".) Together, the members of the Red
Lotus Society devise a plan to capture him. While Sunny is
staying here, he accidentally reveals that he likes Joyce and
likewise, Joyce accidentally reveals that she likes Marco-good.
Marco (good) tells her that he only likes "Heung Heung
Princess", even though she is dead.
Marco (good) leads the members of the Red Lotus Society and Sunny
to capture Marco (evil). They are divided into 2 groups: #3 leads
Sunny, Joyce, and 2 others, while Marco (good) leads the rest.
Marco's (good) group thought that they had captured the evil
Marco but it turned out to be the evil Marco's scheme to destroy
the members of the Red Lotus Society. Therefore, Marco (good) and
several members were engaged in a really big fight. Soon #3 leads
his group to help Marco (good). In the end, 2 members of the Red
Lotus Society are captured and several are injured. Sunny gets
heavily injured while saving Joyce. Although Joyce feels guilty
about Sunny's injury, she still couldn't accept his love for her.
Instead, she cooks him a meal as her way of thanking him and they
become good friends. In Sunny's heart, though, he still loves
Joyce. Marco (good) urges Joyce to accept Sunny.
Marco (good) receives notice from "Heung Heung
Princess'" older sister that the king has sent men to
destroy their tribe. He quickly sets out to help her.
Marco (evil) makes his appearance in the series when he visits
Eddie to designate him as one of the king's officials. Eddie is
honored with this title. While he is there, Joyce makes an
appearance and tries to kill Eddie. However, her attempt is
unsuccessful and she is captured by Marco's (evil) men. Joyce
notices the resemblance between Marco (Chan Ka Lo-good) and Marco
(Fook Hong On-bad). Marco (evil) tells her that he is actually
Marco's (good) nephew and that he doesn't really want to harm the
Red Lotus Society. Then he releases her. Meanwhile, Sunny is
frantically searching for Joyce. Marco (evil) sweet talks Joyce
and she begins to fall for him. He tells her to meet her on a
boat. Joyce shows up and tells him that they can never be friends
because they are on different sides. In reality though, Joyce is
beginning to like him because he looks like the good Marco.
Back at home, Joyce is still thinking about Marco (evil). He
starts playing his flute in the middle of the night near the Red
Lotus house. Joyce hears him and is troubled about what she
should do.
Members of the Red Lotus Society spot the evil Marco nearby and
end up capturing him. They told the evil Marco to release their 2
members who were caught. Marco (evil) is forced to do as they are
told. Joyce releases Marco (evil) despite the fact that he is the
society's enemy. She and Evil Marco have a one night stand.
Later, Sunny spots Joyce and tries to prevent her from helping
the evil Marco escape. Sunny realizes that Joyce now likes the
evil Marco. Joyce accidentally injures Sunny while they are
fighting. Evil Marco's men arrive and save him. The members of
the Red Lotus Society also arrive, but they are unable to
recapture Marco (evil). Because of this, Joyce is kicked out of
the Red Lotus Society (RLS) and her mentor is very disappointed
in her actions.
Although Sunny is injured, he only cares about Joyce's
well-being. When he finds out that she was kicked out of the RLS,
he tries to find her. He goes to find Marco (evil) and tries to
kill him after he overhears that Marco (evil) never liked Joyce.
However, he is heavily injured by evil Marco's men. Joyce had
overheard Marco (evil) also and she comes out to save Sunny. In
the end, Marco (evil) released them.
Joyce apologizes to Sunny for all the hurt that she's caused him
and then leaves. When Sunny returns home, he's very depressed and
starts drinking. He also begins to practice all the kung fu that
he learned from his dad's book, from what #3 taught him, and and
also the kung fu that Lieu Hiu Tung taught him. He begins to
practice nonstop and ends up "zhao foi yut mo" (all the
chi in his body is messed up) because he was mixing up 3 types of
mo kung. Sunny leaves home because he doesn't want Liu Kai Chee
to worry about him. He ends up in a temple and Wan Yeung Ming and
Charmaine see him. Wan Yeung Ming saves him and during this time,
Charmaine took care of him. Before she leaves, she makes him a
grasshopper out of grass and places it by his pillow. When Sunny
awakens, he thought that Charmaine was an illusion, but when he
sees the grasshopper, he believes that she truly existed. Lieu
Hiu Tung soon arrives and finds Sunny.
As Lieu Hiu Tung and Sunny return home, they run into some guys
who claim that they are Wan Yeung Ming's friend and that they
have a letter for him. The letter is a warning for Wan Yeung Ming
that enemies will be attacking him soon. Lieu Hiu Tung urges
Sunny to take advantage of the situation and steal the letter so
that Wan Yeung Ming will not be forewarned. However, Sunny being
the upright and honest guy that he is decides that he wants to
seek revenge on Wan Yeung Ming in an honorable manner. Therefore,
when these 2 guys are killed and they ask Sunny to be the
messenger, he agrees.
When Wan Yeung Ming opens the letter, it turns out to be some
sort of poisonous gas which causes Sunny to go blind. Eddie soon
shows up with a lot of men and fighting erupts. Charmaine is told
to hide because she doesn't know how to fight. However, when she
peeks out of the door, she sees a piece of yellow cloth on
Sunny's eyes. This is the cloth with the words "World's #1
fighter" which her father had given to Felix's son, "Wu
Fei" (Sunny) when he was a baby. Seeing this, Charmaine runs
after Sunny and Lieu Hiu Tung, who are being chased by Eddie's
men. Lieu Hiu Tung hides Sunny in a little boat and disguises
herself as Sunny and runs in the opposite direction to distract
the men. Charmaine gets in the boat and pushes it to sea when she
sees Eddie's men returning.
Charmaine and Sunny fall into the sea because of the big waves.
They are both rescued by fishermen who live in a small village.
The blind Sunny still manages to find Charmaine after they are
separated. During this period of time, Charmaine took care of
Sunny and they became good friends. However, Charmaine doesn't
reveal her true identity to Sunny. Charmaine does a lot for Sunny
but he feels bad because he is a burden on her.
Wan Yeung Ming is frantically searching for his daughter. He goes
to Eddie's house and tells him that if anything happens to
Charmaine, he will kill him. The reason why Eddie attacked Wan
Yeung Ming in the first place is because he wants the map to the
treasure. (Remember I told you guys in the beginning that the
original treasure map was divided into parts and given to the
"Teen" and "Miu" families?) However, Eddie is
no match for Wan Yeung Ming's kung fu. Therefore, he was forced
to retreat.
Eddie sends men to find Charmaine so that he can use her to get
the map. Sunny starts fighting with the men. Lieu Hiu Tung
arrives in time to help Sunny. Together, they decide to go up
"medicine god mountain" so that they can find the
rumored medicine god to help Sunny recover his eyesight. When
they reach the top of the mountain, they meet a deaf man who
tries to poison them. Luckily, they are able to find the guy to
cure their poison. The guy escapes from them soon after.
The threesome come across a maze and Lieu Hiu Tung claims that
she knows the way out. However, they end up getting trapped
inside. In a fit of frustration, Lieu Hiu Tung uses her sword to
hit the wall and it ends up spitting out poisonous air. Sunny and
Lieu Hiu Tung get posioned but Charmaine is OK. She finds her way
through the passage to the other side and after she reveals that
she is Wan Yeung Ming's daughter, a man shows up. This guy is
apparently the master of medicines and poisons. He saves Sunny
and Lieu Hiu Tung. When they ask him to cure Sunny's eyes, he
agrees. (I'm not sure if this is the real medicine god because he
is the guy who poisoned Felix and Maggie)
Episodes
19-20
As it turns out, this guy is the evil person who poisoned Felix.
He decides to kill Sunny too becuase he held a grudge against
Felix. He ends up curing Sunny's eyes, but at the same time, he
pushes this negative chi into Sunny, which means that Sunny is
supposedly going to die soon.
Although Charmaine is happy that Sunny is better, she is also sad
because she now has to leave him. Sunny didn't know that she was
Wan Yeung Ming's daughter. Charmaine soon leaves after finding
out that Sunny is ok. Sunny is saddened by this and goes around
looking for her. (He still doesn't know what she looks like
because she covered her face after his eyes recovered.)
Eddie Cheung still has guys out looking for Charmaine because he
wanted to use her to make her dad give up the treasure map. Eddie
ends up finding her first and takes her to his home. Wan Yeung
Ming comes looking for his daughter and falls into a trapdoor on
the ground and is captured. (Wan Yeung Ming actually doesn't know
about the treasure map.)
Sunny finds
out that Charmaine is at Eddie's house. He goes to find her and
ends up saving her. He doesn't know that she's the one he's
looking for though because Charmaine never told him her real
name. He only called her "Grasshopper". Just as Sunny
was going to ask her questions, Lieu Hiu Tung stands behind
Sunny, making faces at Charmaine telling her not to speak because
Sunny will recognize her voice.
This is the end of episode 20. These 2 episodes were quite
uneventful as you can see...By the way, I hope I'm not confusing
you guys. It's hard summarizing these mo hap series.
Episodes 21-26
Sunny finally realizes that Charmaine was the "grasshopper
girl" who took care of him when he was blind. Charmaine said
two words, "Thank you" and Sunny figured it all out. It
was all kind of awkward because their families were supposed to
be enemies. Sunny told her that he was still going to challenge
her father but in order to repay him for saving his life once, he
was going to return the favor before challenging him. Therefore,
Sunny goes to Eddie's home and saves Wan Yeung Ming. Wan Yeung
Ming is thrilled to find out that Sunny is still alive. However,
because of all the misunderstandings which have occurred in the
past, they both realize that a tournament is inevitable.
Therefore, they agree to fight in one year and within this period
of time, Wan Yeung Ming will try to find the poisoner to clear
his name. Sunny agrees to take Charmaine home while Wan Yeung
Ming begins his journey to find the real murderer.
While Sunny, Lieu Hiu Tung, and Charmaine are on their way to
Charmaine's home, they overhear some people wanting to take
revenge on Joyce. Sunny immediately rushes there with the two
girls to save Joyce. Joyce faints on him and they take her back
to Charmaine's house, where the doctor discovers that she's
pregnant. Sunny wishes to marry Joyce so that he can take care of
her but Joyce doesn't want his pity and she doesn't want to hurt
him again. Therefore, she leaves. Sunny goes after her though.
Joyce saves a man (this guy appeared earlier in the series. His
mom tried to kill Sunny because Sunny's dad, Felix, killed her
husband. Remember him???) Anyways, Joyce faints after saving him
and he takes her to his home. Sunny later finds her at his home
and tries to talk to her but Joyce hides from him. However, Sunny
is ever-so-persistent and just refuses to give up. Joyce finally
decides to marry the guy because he treated her very nicely and
she knew that she would be happy with him. Joyce tells Sunny of
her marriage plans and he is very sad at first. Later he agrees
to be present at their wedding and wishes them well. Lieu Hiu
Tung and Charmaine think that Sunny is marrying Joyce and rush to
the wedding and Lieu Hiu Tung makes a complete fool of herself.
Sunny finally accepts the fact that he and Joyce were never meant
to be together and he's happy that Joyce has finally found
someone that she can depend on. Therefore, Sunny moves on with
his life.
Sunny, and the two girls return to the Red Lotus Society after a
member comes looking for them. This member's name in the series
is "Sum Yeen" and he is really funny when he's with
Annabelle Lieu Hiu Tung. They're always arguing.
Sunny meets up with #3 again and #3 asks Sunny to accompany him
to the 4 main kung fu houses (Shaolin, Ngor Mei, Mo Dang, Wah
San) because the leaders of these 4 sects have agreed to help the
Red Lotus Society in their endeavor to prevent the meeting of
Marco's (Fook Hong On-evil) men. However, unknown to them, Marco,
in collaboration with Eddie and the poisoner, had already
captured the 4 leaders. The Red Lotus Society was being blamed
for the kidnapping too so when Sunny and #3 showed up at Shaolin
and "Mo Dang", they had to fight heavily to keep from
being captured.
Meanwhile, back at the Red Lotus home, Annabelle Lieu Hiu Tung
and Charmaine were getting restless. Annabelle Lieu wanted to go
out to celebrate the Mooncake Festival but "Sum Yeen "
refused to let them out because it was dangerous. Therefore,
Annabelle Lieu put some sort of medicine in his food and he had
to go to the potty and they snuck out to play. Annabelle and
Charmaine were separated briefly and Marco (evil) met her and he
likes her now.
Before Sunny and #3 are able to return back to the Society's
house, people from the 4 kung fu sects go to the Red Lotus house
and demand that their leaders be released. Fighting occurs and
basically the Red Lotus members get beaten up because their main
members were all away at the time. Charmaine got knocked out and
Marco (evil) saved her in hopes of winning her heart. However,
she only likes Sunny.
Sunny and #3 return to see everyone injured. Charmaine returns
also.
Sunny has abdominal pains and faints. That night, the posioner
comes looking for Charmaine and tells her that he poisoned Sunny
and if she wanted to save Sunny then she's have to sleep with
Marco (evil). However, the poisoner is actually lying to her
because there is no cure for Sunny. After contemplating and
watching Sunny suffer, Charmaine agrees. On the day she went to
find Marco (evil), Annabelle Lieu and "Sum Yeen" see
her and follow her. They went and got Sunny and #3, and were able
to save Charmaine.
They found out that there was no medical cure for Sunny. The
members tried to use their kung fu to push the poison out but
that didn't work. Everyone was very sad and they decided to have
Sunny live happily for the last 3 months of his life. Sunny
overheard that he was going to die and therefore, he tried to
push Charmaine away by saying that he still liked Joyce when he
was really beginning to like Charmaine. Because of this,
Charmaine left. Annabelle Lieu urged Sunny to go after Charmaine
and he did, but ended up going in the wrong direction.
Episodes
27-30
"Sum Yeen" professes his love for Annabelle Lieu Hiu
Tung. She's grossed out and kicks him out of her room. She
decides to leave so that she can help find Charmaine. "Sum
Yeen" tags along against Annabelle's wishes. Unknown to
them, one of Marco's (evil) men is also out searching for
Charmaine. This person is the doctor who took a role in Felix's
death. He has become a monk now. However, he still hasn't changed
and his greed led him to join Marco's men. He ends up finding
Charmaine first and pretends to be her dad's friend. When she
finally realizes that he's a bad person, he puts her in a bag and
the poisonous fumes from the bag make her faint. Annabelle and
"Sum Yeen" are luckier and end up finding the monk.
They start fighting and Sunny shows up. The evil person, pretends
that he has turned Charmaine over to her dad already. Therefore,
Sunny goes to search for Charmaine and her father. Annabelle
suspects that something is up and decides to go back to look for
Charmaine and finds her in the bag and pulls her out. However,
the monk is on his way back so Annabelle decides to hide in the
bag so that she can hit the guy without retaliation. However, she
doesn't know that the bag has poisonous fumes and she ends up
fainting. Charmaine is reunited with her father. When Marco
(evil) opens the bag and finds that its Annabelle and not
Charmaine, he's furious. "Sum Yeen" jumps in and saves
Annabelle.
Sunny finds Charmaine and her father and wants to explain that he
does like her but she won't listen to him. She later gets sick
and the doctor says that it's psychological problems that's
making her sick. Sunny goes and talks to her, telling her that he
does love her, and she gets better. They decide to be together
until he dies. They return to the Red Lotus house. Annabelle and
"Sum Yeen" return also.
There is news that Marco (Chan Ka Lok-the good one) is returning
so the members are going to meet him him in town. Sunny,
Charmaine, Annabelle, and "Sum Yeen" are travelling
together. They run into Joyce and her husband. She has given
birth to twin sons. They travel for a while together and then go
their separate ways. Joyce's group is attacked by Marco's (evil)
men and they steal the 2 babies and her husband committed suicide
because he felt that he couldn't defend Joyce. Joyce is furious.
She returns to the palace to see Marco (evil). She is somewhat
forced to stay there because Marco (evil) wants to be near his
sons.
Sunny and his gang find out what happened to Joyce and go back to
try and find her.
Joyce angers Marco's (evil) mother and she poisons Joyce. Sunny
saves her but the poison has already entered into her body so by
the time they make it back to the Red Lotus house and Sunny tries
to use his kung fu to push the poison out, it's already too late.
The other main members return, including Joyce's mentor.
Together, they try to help her, but she only has 3 days left to
live. Her dying wish is to be reunited with her babies.
Marco (good) is on his way back to the Red Lotus house. However,
on the way back, he gets tricked by someone and ends up being
attacked by Marco's (evil) men. He is captured and Marco (evil)
decides to use him as bait to destroy the Red Lotus Society and
all of its members once and for all. All the members agree to go
and save Marco(good). Sunny and Annabelle want to go also but #3
refuses to let them go because they are not really members and he
doesn't want them to die. Therefore, Sunny and Annabelle go to
the palace and save the babies. Sunny also captures Marco's
(evil) mom while he's there.
The Red Lotus members are at the site where Marco (good) is about
to be executed. Fighting breaks out and just when they are on the
verge of losing, Wan Yeung Ming (Charmaine's dad) arrives and
helps them. However, they still cannot withstand the competition.
Sunny arrives in the nick of time with Marco's (evil) mom and
threatens to kill her. Therefore, they are all able to escape.
Back at the Red Lotus home, many are injured. Sunny asks Marco
(good) to do him a favor---to pretend to be the evil Marco so
that Joyce can die peacefully. Therefore, the good Marco goes and
speaks to Joyce and tells her that he was sorry for hurting her
and that he did love her. However, Joyce realizes that it's the
good Marco and she thanks him for trying to make her feel better.
In the end, she asks him to hug her and tells him that perhaps
all along it was him that she loved the most
(This part was
really sad. All along, Joyce liked the evil Marco because he
looked like the good Marco.). Not only did Joyce die, but member
#2 of the Red Lotus Society died also. It was a very gloomy day.
At the grave, Marco (good) was particularly sad because he felt
that he was partly responsible for Joyce's death because he
couldn't accept her love in the beginning when she told him that
she liked him.
The next day was the "Kung Fu Event" which the evil
Marco had been planning for a long time. Sunny and others
disguised themselves to attend the event while Charmaine's dad
and the good Marco had to go out to look for the leaders of the 4
sects who were still being held captive.
Episodes
31-32
These 2 episodes were pretty uneventful. Not much happened.
Sunny and the
members of the Red Lotus Society are attending the "Kung Fu
Event" in disguise. The 4 main sects (Shaolin, Mo Dang, Ngor
Mei, Kwun Lun) were being challenged by Eddie and 3 other small
sects. Every sect sent a representative and a competition began.
All 4 sects lost so Sunny and members of the Red Lotus had to
come out and pretend that they belonged to 4 sects which were
headquartered outside the area. They challenged and beat Eddie's
4 sects. Eddie finally figured out that it was them and an
argument started. Sunny questioned the poisoner about who killed
his father
he lied and said it was Charmaine's dad, Wan
Yeung Ming, who ordered the poison to be placed on Felix' sword.
The 4 main sects (Shaolin, Mo Dang, Ngor Mei, Kwun Lun) still
thought that the Red Lotus Society captured their leaders so they
started arguing. Marco (good) finally found the 2 leaders who
were still alive and they pointed the finger to Eddie as the
culprit. Eddie and the poisoner fled the scene.
Sunny fainted because he had used his "chi" and the
poison was running through his body again. Back at the Red Lotus
house, Marco (good), Wan Yeung Ming, and 6 members of the Red
Lotus Society together used their "chi" to help Sunny.
Sunny has 1 month left.
Sunny and the good Marco decided to go out for drinks. Marco asks
if there's anything he can do for Sunny and Sunny asks him to
take care of Joyce's sons.
Sunny and Wan Yeung Ming decided to go their separate ways to
find the poisoner again so that they could question him about
Felix's death. On the way, Sunny comes across Charmaine's mom,
who's somewhat crazy now.
Episodes 33-40
***Note: I didn't get a chance to watch the entire end of the series due to my projects and exams but I watched bits and pieces with my sister so here it is...
Sunny found Charmaine's mom first. While they were in the temple, she gave her hair clip (the one with the map to the treasure) to Sunny and told him to give it back to Wan Yeung Ming. Sunny opened it up and found the map but put it back together. Charmaine's mom wasn't very stable so he was going to take her to Wan Yeung Ming but she wanted to visit Felix and Maggie's grave. Eddie's men told him that Charmaine's mom was with Sunny. Eddie and some of Marco's (evil) men went to find her and a fight started between Sunny and them. Sunny was on the verge of losing when Charmaine's mom recalled that a long time ago, Wan Yeung Ming buried a really good sword at the grave, so she started digging it up and told Sunny to get it. With this new sword, Sunny was pretty much invinceable but he fainted after it all ended because he used too much chi...Wan Yeung Ming shows up and carries Sunny home.
Charmaine is reconciled with her mom...An American doctor is sent to tend her and he says that she has psychological problems (I guess in Chinese its called "sum bang").
Eddie gangs up with the "Fan Family" guy...
Charmaine's mom regains sanity and she feels guilty about the past but she knows there's no turning back now...THerfore, she goes back to Eddie to question him ... she wanted to know if he ever loved her. Wan Yeung Ming, Sunny, and Charmaine go to find her. Eddie holds her captive because he wanted the map but she decided to kill herself...Before she died, she told him that the map was on the hair clip (which she passed on to Charmaine) just to anger him because Eddie would never be able to get it with Sunny and Wan Yeung Ming around. (Actually, this was her biggest mistake and it was this mistake that later ruined Charmaine)
Sunny has very little time left and everyone is very sad. Charmaine was going to give up her life to save Sunny (the only way to save him now was for someone to suck the poison out of him but that person will definitely die). However, Annabelle Lieu Hiu Tung decided to sacrifice herself to save him and she died in the end. Sunny was very sad...
Sunny and Charmaine went to find Liu Kai Chee. Wan Yeung Ming goes to find that evil Poison person so that the whole mess about Felix's death can be cleared up. They agreed to meet on the Snowy Mountain where Sunny grew up. Eddie and the "Fan guy" and everyone involved in Felix's death was to meet on the mountain. When they were on the mountain, Sunny received news that Wan Yeung Ming was in trouble so he set out to help him. He left Liu Kai Chee and Charmaine on the mountain, thinking that the "Fan guy" and the owner were good guys and would protect them. Unkown to him, they were all on Eddie and the Evil Marco's side.
Liu Kai Chee was kicked off the mountain and Charmaine was drugged. This was when Marco evil raped her (and she thought it was Sunny). Liu Kai Chee didn't die. He got all the dynamite that he left on the mountain and planted it at the treasure cave. When Eddie and everyone else arrived, they were all killed, including Liu Kai Chee.
Sunny found Charmaine in the room still drowsy and she wasn't dressed..I think that's why she thought it was him. Wan Yeung Ming arrives and he's fighting with people and then the windows are knocked down and he found Sunny and Charmaine in an uncompromising position.
Charmaine wants Sunny to marry her but he's confused and then they get into an argument....and then I didn't watch this next part...heehee...but my sister said that Wan Yeung Ming and Sunny had a fight because of Charmaine and they were fighting on the mountain...Charmaine jumped to prevent them from fighting and because he had to save her, Sunny accidentally hit Wan Yeung Ming, who fell off the mountain and went into a coma. Charamine realized that it was the evil Marco who raped her.
A couple years pass, and Charmaine hasn't forgiven herself yet. Sunny is still pursuing her. Her dad is still in a coma (a mysterious person is trying to cure him...this person is the real Medicine God who indeed is still alive). Her dad wakes up one day and says a few words and dies (or so we think) and then Charmaine decides to become a nun but Sunny shows up and he commits suicide (or something like that cause he starts spitting all this blood out...Charmaine is very worried) and the Medicine God shows up and saves him. Charmaine and Sunny get together because of this. Her dad also walks out...apparently he's been cured by the Medicine God...so he and the Medicine God decide to go places and he leaves Charmaine in Sunny's hands.
Sunny went to kill the evil Marco but the members of the Red Lotus Society kindly asked him not to kill Marco so that they could save a nation. Apparently, the king has sent men to defeat "Heung Heung Princess" and "Fok Ching Tung's" nation and the good Marco wanted to use the Evil Marco to threaten the king. The good Marco dressed up like th evil Marco and went to see the king who was forced to withdraw his men and write up a 100 year peace treaty. The evil Marco was dressed like the good Marco and was forced to stay with the Red Lotus Society Members...he saw his twin sons while he was there and told them that he was their dad. The good Marco returns with the good news and sends the evil Marco on his way back to the kingdom (he promised the king not to harm the evil Marco). He wanted to take his 2 sons along but his two sons called the good Marco "Dad" instead...The Good Marco decided to keep the 2 boys by his side and raise them.
Charmaine and Sunny said their goodbyes and went to Snowy Mountain to visit Liu Kai Chee's grave...
