樂天知命,輕看得失名利,樂於幫助別人。
出生於草根階層,父母陳威和歐麗蓉是街市內的雞販,文化水平不高,但一家人樂於平淡,活得開心。
家樂中學畢業後便在父親的「威記」雞檔內幫忙,和街市內其他小販、街坊等建立了密切而開心的關係,因為他叫陳家樂,眾人都暱稱他為「總舵主」,街坊們有甚麼要他幫手,他總是義不容辭,永不say no,漸漸地令家樂成為了街市內的中心人物。
基於「有得玩」的心態,家樂參加了電視台舉辦的美食遊戲節目,有機會前赴新加坡參賽,家樂可以離港旅遊,已經覺得贏了獎品。
面對著弱質的芷茵,家樂不其然多加照顧,感動了芷茵,也成了芷茵傾訴的對像。
比賽得勝者吳世豪被查出違規而被取消資格,家樂第二名次補上,竟失而復得地取得大獎─商場旺舖一間。五人合作籌備開拉麵店,過程中芷茵、文希竟同時對家樂產生微妙感覺,兩姊妹都喜歡了同一個男人。
家樂和學澧欲向福生的母親馬琍取經,家樂成了海南雞飯傳人,隨著事業的翻身,家樂在感情上也與芷茵邁進了一大步。家樂也明白文希對他的情意,但耐何心裏已有了抉擇…
柔弱怯懦,容易緊張,凡事總向壞處想,本性孝順,善良中帶點倔強。
是文希同父異母的妹妹,本生於小康之家,但金融風暴令父親偉昌經營的貨車租賃生意一落千丈,而偉昌更患上了需長期治療的腎病,從此芷茵便要擔起養家的責任。茵雖然自知能力不逮也咬著牙關撐住…
芷茵得知遊戲比賽勝出有機會得到一間舖位,膽粗粗一試。芷茵於比賽中認識到家樂、學澧、文希成為知己,雖然最後輸了比賽,但亦贏得眾人的友誼。可是比賽後期文希卻忽然疏遠芷茵,冷淡的態度令芷茵大感詫異。
偉昌的病情突然嚴重,芷茵也駕御不了公司的惡伙記,租車公司以倒閉告終。芷茵面臨絕境,家樂義不容辭地幫忙芷茵,令芷茵在感激之餘,默默地已對家樂生了情愫…
家樂得到旺舖一間,邀請芷茵一起合作開拉麵店。芷茵家庭經濟正陷危機,此時家樂可謂在雪中送上暖炭,連忙答應。
文希的冷淡態度令芷茵甚感不自在,終於按捺不住,要向文希問個究竟。文希亦不隱瞞,把與芷茵的同父異母關係坦向告知,芷茵終於明白一切。
芷茵在比賽過程中得到家樂的悉心照顧,少女情懷,早已芳心暗許,但當她知道姊姊文希亦情傾家樂,不欲破壞剛修好的姊妹感情,決定讓愛。但家樂坦言對文希只有友情,對芷茵才是愛情,芷茵才放膽接受家樂的愛。
心地善良,樂天知命,敦厚老實,喜結交朋友,重情重義。

Is there an english version of the same website? And the poster as well?
ReplyDeleteNone in english, unless you wait till mediacorp make one for september.
ReplyDeleteposter will be available at those vcd sites. will post if i found any.
I always thought there is a single page with poster, view links and summary and then detailed pages like this one?
ReplyDeleteAnyway the cast pics that's it? No more? Just those few and a few intros? Very disappointing.
Can't find the 2 pics you mentioned. I give up.
Fuun, check your gmail. I've sent them to you. Not too big, but you can see it's Shaun.
ReplyDeleteHow come the rest of the Sg cast have individual pics but Shaun has like zero?
Talk abt double standards...
Poor Mandy (Charmaine) end up with no one, but maybe it's cool because we can image Mandy to go travel around the world to eat delicious food. And then to meet her fan in every country: I will be her guide to test delicious food in my country. What about you ? :D
ReplyDeleteP.S. sehseh could you send me Full House Song (Why ; the background song) to me please. I can't download it. Thank you very much.
Qingwa
Qingwa, check your email. Lately I have trouble attaching clips to my gmail. You can download the song from the link i provided.
ReplyDeleteAnd people, if you want the mp3, PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD DIRECTLY FROM THE PLAYER. Because my site has frequent visit lately (today my counter stat rocketed to more than 800, double the usual amount) and I actually did not host the song myself, so if the bandwidth exceeds i'll have to look for another source for this song (which i hope can load as fast as the current one).
I have one or two back up link for dl only so if you want the song, just email me. I'll be happy to give you the alternative link.
thanks for co-operating! :) :) :)
HUHHUHHUHUH poor charmaine!!! she doesn't end up with kevin nor Raymond!! do u know why kevin chose tavia??? so sad!!
ReplyDeletedoes that mean Charmaine is not the female lead???
ReplyDeletebefore i've read on tavia's forum, some people said that tavia is the one who's gonna back up so Mandy( charmaine) and kevin get to be 2gether and tavia is gonna end up being alone. I guess it changed. Can't wait 'til tomorrow =]
ReplyDeleteSorry, I didn't got time to translate and this create a lot of confusion.
ReplyDeleteOf course Charmaine is the female lead! not ending up with the male leads doesn't make her status any less.
To clear things up, here's what the official site said:
Tavia did back out because of Charmaine but Kevin only love her and not Charmaine. Charmaine knew that Kevin only like her as friend, so she just leave so Tavia will accept Kevin's love.
Therefore, Kevin will end up with Tavia, Raymond with Michelle, Ben with Natalie and lastly, Charmaine by herself. Which is fine cause 'big happy ending' is a bit cliche nowaday, who said you can't be happy alone. There's a big diferrence btwn alone and lonely.
huhuhuhu that's worst seh seh!!!ok.......she's still the female lead but it feels like she's not!! that makes the story more sad if charmaine always look at them DATING!!!! grrrrrrrr......sorry but i am MAD!!!! i kno it's still a happy ending!! but........i can't stand it!!!!
