Turbulent Decade (Wong Kam Sup Neen) is one of my favorite series from the mid-80s. Not only does it have an excellent cast, but it has a great storyline. In my opinion, this is Eddie Cheung's best series. Unfortunately, I don't own this series anymore, so I can only give a general overview because it's been a while since I've watched it.
General Overview
This series takes place through a series of many years. In the
beginning of the series, Carina and Jamie are still in high
school and they are best friends. Carina comes from a rich family
and she's an only daughter. Eddie C.'s father is a cop. He lives
with his mom, dad, grandmother, and uncle. Jamie's family is ok,
but later her mom goes crazy. Bobby and Eddie K. are cousins.
Eddie's family has many children. Bobby later on becomes a
lawyer. Sek So plays the villain in the series.
Wong Kam Sup Neen starts
off when this group is still in high school. Eddie C. and his
friends Bobby and Eddie K. meet Carina and Jamie by chance. Eddie
C. likes Carina and soon they start dating. Meanwhile, Jamie
(sort of) dates Alex To Tak-Wai but she likes Eddie C. However,
Jamie is very unhappy because of problems at home. Her mom and
dad are constantly arguing. Eddie C. is there to comfort her and
she becomes pregnant with his baby.
Carina finds out that her best friend is pregnant and confronts
Eddie C. Eddie C. feels responsible for the baby and wants to
take care of Jamie. However, Alex also finds out that Jamie is
pregnant with Eddie C's baby and they go out for a
"talk". Eddie K. goes with them. Alex and Eddie C get
into a fight and Alex accidentally falls down the stairs during
the fight and dies. Eddie C. ends up going to jail because of
this.
Jamie is devastated that Eddie C. has to go to jail. However, she
also feels bad for Alex's mom who thinks that she is pregnant
with Alex's baby. Jamie ends up losing the baby when she goes to
visit her mom at the psychiatric ward of the hospital. Jamie
tells Alex's mom that the baby was not Alex's. Perhaps it was a
sort of fate, but Alex's mom forgave her and Jamie became her
goddaughter.
While Eddie C is in jail, Bobby goes to law school and becomes an
attorney. Eddie K. is less successful (I don't remember the exact
details of his story but he did work in a bank for a while).
Carina finishes college and works for her father. Jamie becomes a
secretary. Later, Eddie K and Bobby both work for Carina's dad.
In jail, Eddie C. meets Sek So, who is a cop that works at the
jail. Sek So encourages Eddie C. to continue with his education
and he does, earning very high grades. However, when he comes out
of jail, he still cannot find a job.
He opens up a factory with Dicky (Dicky is the son of Eddie's
uncle's girlfriend, played by Di Bo Lai). Their factory is very
successful. In the meantime, Jamie meets Sek So (shes his
secretary) and they fall in love and get married. Sek So also
happens to know Carina's dad and he soon ends up working for
Carina's dad. He accuses Eddie K of wrongdoings in the company
and Eddie K. gets fired, even though Bobby tries to help him
(Bobby has become Carina's godbrother. Her dad really admires
him). Eddie K. marries Seurng Tin Ngo (who is Eddie C's cousin).
She is the very bossy type.
Eddie C. falls in love with Margie and they get married. However,
she is soon killed by a crazy man. Sek So, on the other hand, has
an affair with Carina. In reality, he only wants her money. Jamie
is devastated by her husband's affair with her best friend.
Carina goes to jail for embezzlement after being set up by Sek
So. Sek So is killed by the mafia.
At the end of the series, Bobby marries a lawyer, Eddie C. and
Jamie are together again, Eddie K. is with Sheurng Tin Ngo.
Carina comes out of jail, hoping to be with Bobby (who has always
been in love with her), but in the end, she is still the lonely
one.
I really love this series. It had a really great ending.
