A story that follows five urban women with distinct personalities and how they find themselves after experiencing various challenges in life. Dai Xi Xi has always regarded falling in love, getting married and having kids as her primary goal. Alas, she never imagined that she would be dumped right before her wedding day. With nowhere to go, Dai Xi Xi goes to live with Ding Hui Qiao as she attempts to restart her life. However, she faces another hurdle when she makes an enemy out of Wen Ru Xue who is also a tenant in the house. Wen Ru Xue is a wedding designer and the image of a successful woman. She has high IQ and a low EQ. For Wen Ru Xue, her work is her life. Wen Xiao Yang is the youngest member of their 'family'. She has come to Shanghai to pursue her dream of becoming a manhua artist. Meanwhile, Qi Yue is a woman who will do anything for love. Five women with very different ideals may seem like a cause for friction but they are each other's pillars of support.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
