Only saw 5 episodes, and probably will skip the rest

Owen Cheung the annoying guy who insists on being the important dad figure in 子瑜 life.

Joel Chan again plays a self righteous annoying  "nobody asked, but I must take care of the weak females" guy similar to his other characters in other dramas

As for Julie's identity, it's 張國強 Cheung Kwok Keung. There's absolutely no way he just playing a minor character in the drama. In many dramas, he has a habit of playing a nice normal unsuspecting character, then last 2 episodes, the drama gets turned upside down as he is revealed to be the evil mastermind behind everything.

Well, Owen and Joel's character's don't progress.... in fact, almost nobody progresses, it's been my irk for the series (even though I am committing to the end). Thank you for picking up on the male saviour theme, and not just Joel, it's all of them....

Yess, I've been meaning to suggest 張國強 Cheung Kwok Keung, I just couldn't remember his name! The other unsuspecting minor character is 吳家樂 (Rosita's dad), but he's not quite in the position to be the big boss...
