TVB's associate director Mr Tsang (曾醒明) claimed that although the ratings were just average The Gem of Life won public praise. He said he received a phone call from the wife of company director Mr Law (羅仲炳), she wanted him to convey a message of encouragement to Producer Chik. She said that this drama attracted many viewers who were not TV fans to watch, these people are all professionals, even director Law regularly watched.

Also not trying to be nasty, but Gigi's last performance in a TV series was way below par, and not surprised with the low ratings, I found this series really boring!
