The Charm Beneath is a 30 episode drama which jointly produced by TVB and an independent production company, and aired in 2005. The Mui Siu Ching-produced drama is one of the anniversary series of TVB in 2005. Gigi Lai sings the theme song of the series whereas Moses Chan sings the sub theme song.
Gigi Lai was nominated for the Best Actress award for her memorable role in The Charm Beneath, but lost to Liza Wang.
Sheren Tang and Bobby Au-Yeung were originally casted in this series instead of Gigi Lai and Moses Chan when the teaser trailer premiered in the TVB sales presentation in 2005.
'The Charm Beneath' is a very complicated series because of its rather complex storyline. As you can tell from the Chinese title 'Yin Zhi Sui Fun' (in Cantonese) it is about makeup. The Zhu family is managing a makeup shop called 'Geng Fa Tong' (in Cantonese). They go through many family and business troubles because the other side of the Zhu family, the second uncle and aunty, are very greedy and always try their best to cause problems so they can have all the money and take full control of the makeup shop. The second uncle and aunty are very devious but surprisingly their son is nothing like them;, he is a kind and good-hearted young man. There are many surprises and twists in this series, which makes it very interesting.
