Cast: Liza Wang as ª÷¿P Roger Kwok as ⤥ Charmaine Sheh as ¦¶¥ÉÄõ Susanna Kwan (Ãöµâ^) as ¦¶¤p¼b Chris Lai as James ³\¥Ã±d Sharon Chan as Carol ±`¬üÄR Shek Sau (¥Û×) as ±`ª@ Paul Chun as ¦¶¤j¦N Joel Chan (³¯¤s½µ) as ù«Â Back in the days when there was no television, people relied on listening to the radio for entertainment. Besides that, you have the option of watching skits from the theaters or singers performing at lounges. Lisa Wang plays the role of a semi-retired Diva turned manager. She brings with her a few singers and tirelessly tries to set them up with better known places to perform. Unfortunately, fate has brought her in conflict with Roger Kwok, a well known singer at the time. Roger Kwok hails from a small village who worked his way up to stardom. Despite his arrogance in front of his colleague, he is good to his brother and others whom he is indebted to. His childhood friend, played by Charmaine has a huge crush on him and despite her efforts to try to "help" him, her help caused more trouble and chaos for Roger. Later on, he is booted out of Dong Fong Ji Ju(Bar) and his career falters away. Wah Tai a kindhearted woman and offers to give him money to start of his career again. He rejects some of the money but little did he know that his brother takes the money for himself and starts spinning lies about Ling Fung to Wah Tai. Wah Tai soon falls in love with Ling Fung and soon leaves her husband just for Ling Fung. Ling Fung rejects her and she then jumps off a building, resulting in her death. Ling Fung then lands in the hospital because Wah Tai's husband gets into a conflict with Ling Fung and blames him for his wife's death. Ling Fung's whole Reputation is ruined thanks to this. When his newest record comes out, no one buys it at all, leaving Charmaine to buy all of the records. Ling Fung then visits Wah Tai's grave and begs for forgiveness. But Wah Tai's ghost won't forgive him and the paper goods Ling Fung burned are blown into Ling Fung's own face! Soon Kam Yin(Liza Wang) realizes that Ling Fung is her son and vows to clean Ling Fung's name if it is the last thing she does. Later on, Charmaine's father (Paul Chun) takes Ling Fung to see a person. This person is one of those people who will let you communicate with the ghost you had to talk to by letting the ghost enter this person's body. In this case, it was Wah Tai. But it didn't work and Liza pretends to be the one who was affected. She tells Ling Fung he was her son and more lies are spun. Credits: DramaWiki

wow...thanks lizajiefan for the summary...now, can i put comments? hehe... mmm...let's see... I think Glittering Days is a medium-mediocre kind of series...it didn't dissapoint me, and didn't surprise me either (WOIL did surprise me).
i agree with soly, when she said that in this series...all that liza did was to look for her son (period)..and she kind of brought along bits of the Kar Kar character from WOIL into her character here..Kam Yin.
Of course, the focus where on Charmaine and Roger... since Kam Yin's character has limited "Fa Fai" or time to shine (there wasn't much up's and down's as compared to the cancer and death of Sussana Kwan's character)
I don't like liza's fashion in this series either...(maybe it was to match her character as a retired-singer/music teacher, therefore she doens't need nice clothes...but I liked what they had Sussana wear)
I also think that they should give more singing parts to Liza or at least the 3 golden flowers..cuz that's the REAL kind of professional singing compared to Charmaine's modern kind of amateur singing style...i think they don't sing that way in the 70's..
I hope that TVB can stop giving Liza the pregnant dogy-sassy-barbaric type of character... it is kind of cute with Kar Kar but when I saw it again in this series...I was kind of annoyed..PLEASE, let this be the last series with this kind of character for Liza...the audiences are getting sick
Wow...seems that most of my comments are negative (I'm a pessimistic person)..hehe
Let's see the better parts of this series: I loved the part when liza pretends to be possessed by the spirit..hahaha...wonderful..and it's something new..
Also the touching part of Liza and Ling Fung singing White Cloud Sky in the end...

"pregnant dogy"---hahaha..they changed it, instead of "BxTCHY" ...i'd like to change it to "BOSSY" to sound better and avoid the automatic changing in this forum...
guys please challenge my claims if you disagree with me..I will be glad to have a debate with you..(joke!) This will make the forum livelier...

What lucille said is exactly what I want to say, so I think we won't have a debate here, haha. It's all about Roger and Charmaine. WOIL was great, that's why I love it so much. Hope the part 2 is as good as the first one.
