Description:
This series is based on college life, love, and one sport - fencing. Also the four-leaf clover has a special part in this drama. The Legend of the Four-Leaf Clover goes as each of the four leaves represent love, hope, happiness, and luck. Lam Lam (Race Wong
), Ah Lok (Don Li
) and Ah Yat (Lai Lok-yi) share a memory of their childhood in which Lam Lam falls off her bicycle and Ah Yat and Ah Lok help her. Ah Yat gives her a four-leaf clover and Ah Lok helps her bandage her cut. Lam Lam thought Ah Yat and Ah Lok were the same person because they wore the same outfit.
The story starts off with Cheng Ka Lam and her aunt, Mei/Miss. Cheng, trying to put together a newspaper group with at least 5 people for the school magazine. Lam makes a bet with her aunt and ends up winning with 5 people joining: "Man Man" (Elaine Yiu
), "Ah Ching" (Natalie Tong
), who are Lam's best friends, and two more girls, "Dai Sik Mui" (Renee Dai), and "13 Mui". These 5 girls work together to create the school's magazines and soon become best friends.
Four guys, Ah Yat, Ah Lok, Don (Eddie Lee
) and Ah Lung (Sam Chan
), all got off to a rough start. Like most siblings, Ah Yat, and Ah Lok sometimes bicker, but they are loving brothers who get along well most of the time, although Ah Yat sometimes tries to use his age as an advantage. Don and Ah Lung have been friends since they were little, but Ah Lung is more of Don's little sidekick/lapdog. Ah Lung is very loyal to Don. These two "teams" were rivals and disliked each other, but "Mr. Sword" (Edmond Leung
), their fencing coach, knows about this, and tries his best to make the "teams" work together by testing them in different ways.
