Set during the

China,
Can't Buy Me Love tells the story of the Third
Princess, Princess Chiu Yeung (
Charmaine Sheh), of the
Tang Emperor (
Samuel Kwok), who is
beautiful but very unreasonable, and, as such, no one wants to marry her. The Kam family is the largest
gold manufacturer in the grand capital
Chang'an, but because they are deceived, the business runs into troubles. The second son of the Kam family Kam Tuo Luk (
Moses Chan) has to marry the Third Princess to save the family
business, because then they will have the right to manufacture gold pieces for the Tang
Palace, the Third Princess only agreeing to the
marriage because otherwise she would be married off to the
Tibetan king Songtsän Gampo, as schemed by the evil Concubine Wei (
Kara Hui).
Will this couple find true love?
The plot sounds okay, but it's actually pretty good. Especially since there's a lot of actors and actresses I like :)
There's a lot of other good dynasty costumed dramas, but yeah...
