Sweetness in the Salt 碧血鹽梟 Sweetness in the Salt (Traditional Chinese: 碧血鹽梟) is a TVB costume drama series released overseas in January 2009. Synopsis NIP CHI YUEN (Ma Steven), who works in the anti-smuggling camp, is determined to wipe out the Tau's Fort, which is the stronghold for salt smugglers. He pretends to be a down-and-out scholar. TAU SING SUET (Yeung Tavia), daughter of the chief smuggler, sympathizes with YUEN and puts him up in the village. Later, they even become fond of each other. During an anti-smuggling operation SUET is badly hurt and has since been separated from YUEN and her family. Fortunately she is saved by WU TING HIN (Wong Raymond), son of salt merchant WU KIN (Kwok Fung). HIN takes her home. One day, SUET is horrified to see the dead bodies of her parent being hung on the wall of the city tower, and that the official standing on the top of the tower telling the public not to sell smuggled salt is none other than the man she misses day and night. She is heartbroken, and her love for YUEN turns into hatred that moment on. HIN finds a job for SUET at the salt company his family runs to help her get over her unhappiness. To repay him, she devotes herself entirely to the job. As time goes by, HIN starts to fall in love with her. However his critical illness making him hesitates to express his love for her. SUET's real identity comes to light when her younger uncle reappears out of the blue. HIN, for fear that his family will report SUET, proposes to her.

I actually liked this serial very much surprisingly. At times it was a tad bit slow but the serial isn't long so it wasn't draggy. I prefer this one over Rosy Business in fact, and both are produced by Lee Tim Shing. I believe TVB gave the serial a different English title while it was still in production, and "Sweetness in the Salt" it was changed to later. A few characters know martial arts here and so there are quite a few fighting scenes which is a nice addition to the plot. My favourite character is definitely Raymond Wong's. I couldn't care less about Steve even though he was the lead. The complete cast list is as follows:
Steven Ma Chun Wai Tavia Yeung Yi Raymond Wong Ho Hin Halina Tam Siu Han Kwok Fung Pierre Ngo Ka Kin Casper Chan Hoi Yee Joel Chan San Chung Felix Lok Ying Kwan Mary Hon Ma Lei Celine Ma Tai Lo Chiang Chi Kwong Lee Kwok Lun Kara Wai Ying Hung Jimmy Au Siu Wai Lee Lai Lai Cheung Mei Nai Wong Wai Tak Yu Chi Ming

Soengyee. Me too. I like this series more than 'Rosy Business'. I find this series more enjoyable than Rosy Business and my favourite character is also Raymond Wong's character. His character is really well written.
