Synopsis:
Supposing there was a chocolate that could make you taller, slimmer and more beautiful, would you eat it without demur? Do perfect looks guarantee a perfect life? This hilarious Chinese New Year comedy is going to bring you the sweetest Valentine present ever in six consecutive episodes.
Kung Yan Tung (Wong Cho Lam) is beaten in a singing contest, despite his beautiful voice; turned down by his dream lover, Yeung Sin Wah (Christine Kuo), despite his kind heart. He blames all these on his unattractive appearance. One day, he gets a pack of magical chocolates by chance. He eats one, and transforms into a heartthrob instantly. He changes his name to Kan Lik Shun (Bosco Wong), and he hits stardom almost overnight. The magical chocolates have a time limit though. His personal assistant, King Chi Ko (Kitty Yuen), discovers his secret. Fortunately, instead of disclosing it, she works even harder to help him. Shun is getting more and more popular, even famous star Tse On Fei (Kate Tsui) is going after him. There are only a few chocolates left. Then Shun meets a scientist, who gives him a magical chocolate that has no time limit. If Shun eats it, Tung will disappear from the earth for good. Before he makes the decision, he is surprised to find that Ko has tried the magical chocolates, too.
