The synopsis of the drama "Happy ever after"The story is basically about trust. Trust between husband and wife, trust between boyfriend and girlfriend… Trust is the key to “living happily ever after…” And more than often, this is easier said than done.
Sean is a down-to-earth lawyer, working in a small time law firm, with the heart of helping less financially-able families on legal issues. Mary is an editor of a finance magazine. They have been married for 10 years, living in an old apartment left behind by Sean’s parents with their six year old only daughter, Jennifer, in many people’s eyes, the model “loving” family. However, things are never as good as it seems on the surface. Though both the husband and wife take home a reasonable, healthy sum of salary, the continual rise in standards of living and the demands of multi-training Jennifer in Fine Arts, Piano, Computer classes, Swimming, Calligraphy is beginning to take its toll on the financial burden of the family. Things begin to take an even more sour twist after Mary attended her JC class gathering. As most of her former classmates are either CEOs, Directors, at worst, wealthy tai-tais, leading much more luxurious lives, Mary starts to lament her husband’s lack of ambitions for not trying his hands in bigger law firm. The non-ending argument breaks out once again, for the umpteen times… Eventually, when Sean decides to take up a big pay package in a multi-million company as their Legal Consultant, Mary’s lament turns into fear… fear of losing her husband to more attractive female colleagues, socializing with clients and lack of time for the family…
Sean’s in-camp training cum Sunday league pal, Vincent, is a manager in an MLM company, selling health products, and is the complete opposite of Sean. Flamboyant, good looking, and with a brilliant gift of the gap, is a cocky playboy who juggles between his fiancée and his hoard of KTV lounge affairs. The catch of this plot is of course that his fiancée, Annie, an innocent secretary in a multi-million company, has got no idea Vincent is such a person, and is planning for their grand wedding, thinking that she is the luckiest woman on earth.
The stories are interwoven through their meetings, contrasting experience in love lives, incidents and discussions in the office and through their kopi tiam chats. While Sean keeps telling Vincent to cherish what he has, he is, unknown to himself, putting his marriage to the knives by being ignorant to his wife’s feeling and needs. And with these spiraling into more complications of third parties, misunderstandings and coincidence, the trust between the couples withers… and the only way seem to be heading towards a divorce.
