Time really, really flies, eh? It's hard to believe that Gem of Life is going to conclude soon, possibly by the end of next week. We are now up till Gem of Life episode 74 tonight and there will be another eight more episodes to go till episode 82, although I read in forums that TVB has been disappointed with audience response to the mega drama and plan to shorten it by five episodes. I don't know how accurate this rumour is. I hope that they will show us all 82 episodes, if only to allow us to watch the cast a little longer.

Just like the tagline of this drama, which is something along the lines of "all that glitters is not gold", the three daughters, Sylvia, Constance and Jessica, are back to square one. Once again, they are single, with an additional broken relationship.

In the closing episodes, I hope that these three sisters and the rest of the characters will have something positive in life but that may be wishful thinking. Derek has died and Ah Woh seems to be suffering from a medical condition.

Anyway, while some people say that Gem of Life is no longer interesting, I would still want to support it till the end, if only to have a closure to the drama.
