The Great Banquet

大醬園

**Man Koon Brewery**, a century-old soy sauce maker in Foshan, is guided by patriarch Man Kai-shan (Hugo Ng) and his wife Tsik Tak-yung (Mimi Kung), who uphold the principle of "male succession and keeping the business in the family". However, a contaminated soy sauce incident forces them to welcome two women, Ha Siu-moon (Rebecca Zhu) and Ip Sai-yiu (Katy Kung), into the business. Alongside their son Man Cheuk-fung (Matthew Ho), the trio becomes apprentices, joined by junior master Wah Ko (James Ng), forming an intriguing foursome. As secrets about the Mans surface and Cheuk-fung is suddenly taken away, anxiety spreads. Kai-shan's younger brothers Kai-shek (Timothy Cheng), Kai-tsun (Gary Chan), and Kai-kong (Tsui Wing) covet the family fortune, and even outsider General Ko Shiu-wing (Andrew Yuen) schemes to claim a share. With a 100-year history, Man Koon Brewery's future hangs in the balance amidst this precarious situation.
