Premise
The story revolves around the Hung family, their work lives and friends, and in earlier episodes Lung King Fung's spirit that the Hung family befriends as one of the family.
Hung Shu Kan (Lau Dan) is the head of the Hung (Chinese: 熊) family and also the owner of a transport company. Kan's younger brother Hung Shu Yan (Pal Sinn), is a photographer who comes to live with Kan. Other members of the Hung family: eldest daughter Hung Sheung Sin (Joyce Tang) who is away in the United States but later returns home; assistant manager of marketing and second daughter, Mary Hung Yeuk Shui (Koni Lui); University student and youngest daughter, Hung Shum Yu (Andrea So); and University student and son of the eldest daughter, Kam Shing On (Kalok Chow).
Early episodes focused on Lung King Fung (Andrew Chan), a rich heir who "died" in a car accident just as Shu Yan was taking pictures nearby. Fung's spirit was transferred into the camera; only the Hung family and certain others who touch the camera can see Fung.
