Synopsis
Set in the early-mid nineteen hundreds, Yim Ga Po is a small village in China, ruled by the Yim clan (mainly Yim Man Hei). The Sung clan also occupies the village, and they are essentially viewed by the Yim clan as lazy and useless – but because the Yim family was aided by the Sung family many generations ago, the Yim clan is bound by their ancestor's wishes to always live in peace with the Sung clan. Along the way it also revolves around the pitiful lives of women that live at Yim Ga Po, a place known for its purity. Women there have to remain pure and clean before as well as after marriage, and any wrong move may cost them their lives to the fire-cracking flames.
The plot is long and intricate, with many twists along the way: murder, revenge, tragedy climbing up the ladder of power, etc. The relationships between characters are just as complex as the plot and so often you're left wondering whether one character hates another or in actual fact loves them. What is black and what is white, what is wrong and what is right; there is no actual truth until probably at the very end.
