- Ah Fuk 阿 福 (Full name Lee Tim Fuk 李添福. Played by Ram Chiang)- Son of Bing and Auntie Shin. He is the only uneducated son in the family due to a lack of financial resources, and this has made Auntie Shin and Bing feel guilty from time to time. He helps out his parents in their restaurant.

When Ah Jing discovers her schemes, and that See Kum and her "brother" Ah Fatt are really lovers, Ah Fatt hits Ah Jing on her head with a brick, sending her into a coma.

- Sei Ma 細孖 or Ah Yan 阿欣 (literally the little twin, full name Lee Daw Yun 李多欣. Played by Florence Kwok) - One of the two twin daughters of Bing and Shin. She holds a high position at a bank, and is married to a wealthy businessman who went broke in the early part of the series. She is also a mother of a young daughter, Puet Puet. She is sometimes a bit demanding, although she is well liked by all the members of the family. (As contrasted with her twin sister, whom Bing dislikes.)

- Dai Ma (Joyce) 大孖 or Ah Foon 阿歡 (literally the elder twin, full name Lee Daw Foon 李多歡. Played by Kenix Kwok) - The other twin daughter of Bing and Shin whom Sei Ma is intensely jealous of. Outraged by her parents for sending her cousin Lup Sung overseas to study instead of herself when they were young, her fiercely independent nature led her to leave the family years ago to pursue her own studies for seven years in the US. Bing therefore disapproves of her actions. Upon returning to HK, she worked in a fashion company, where she was involved in a secret relationship with her boss (acted by Joe Ma), until it was revealed that her boss was already married. She then moved on to another fashion company where she worked under Helen with her brother On Jai. She left early in the series, after marrying an ex-policeman Ah Bong and migrating to the UK. She is remembered for her stubbornness (some would call it determination).
- Bong 阿邦 (Full name Fung Chun Bong 馮振邦. Played by Sunny Chan)- Dai Ma's husband, who is an ex-policeman. He is a helpful man who helps the Lee family many times in his early appearances, whom Dai Ma initially disliked.

After going for a heart operation, he finally marries Dai Ma, and they migrated to the UK.
- On Jai 安仔 (Andy) (Full name Lee Tim On 李添安. Played by Hawick Lau)- The youngest son of Bing and Shin, he is a college grad who works in the same company as his sister Dai Ma.

(His dad in the show is actually his dad in real life.)
- Choi Yiu 彩瑤 (Full name Lee Choi Yiu 李彩瑤. Played by Angie Cheung) - Bing's younger sister; first wife of Ah Hoi. She has a close and affectionate bond with her niece Dai Ma, who is of a very similar temperament. Initially a wild and irresponsible unmarried mother, she had an ambiguous relationship with Ah Hoi, who had been in love with her since they were young. She left HK in the early part of the series to seek help in curing her Stomach Cancer, without informing the family of her whereabouts. Upon returning, Hoi, thinking Choi Yiu was dead, was in a relationship with Auntie Ho's daughter Seung-Seung. She married Hoi eventually, and changed into a loving and caring wife and mother, but died during a bandit attack in mainland China. Hoi takes care of Choi Yiu's young daughter Ah Gwan after Choi Yiu's death. She was the first major character to die in the series, and her death was shocking and unexpected, since at that point she had already fully recovered from cancer.
- Hoi 海 or Ah Hoi 阿海 (Full name Yung Heung Hoi 容向海. Played by Ben Wong)- Adopted son of Auntie Yung. His biological mother, from whom he was separated from during a big fire in the city slum, is the widow of a wealthy Malaysian Chinese tycoon. Hoi works at Sum Dor selling Char Siew since he was young, but eventually forms a construction material company together with Sei Ma's husband Ah Wah, thus becoming a successful businessman. Hoi is the major focus of the series at many different points. His four relationships with Choi Yiu, Seung Seung, Ah Gwai, and Go Nga Man are full of drama and climaxes.
- Auntie Yung 容姨 (Full name Yung Mu 容 妹. Played by Sin-hung Tam)- She has served the family, in particular Grandma Ga, for decades. The Lee family treats her as if she is a part of the family. She gets more focus as the series progresses, especially when she finds her two long-lost children, Ah Keng and Ji Ho.
- Gwai 貴 Ah Gwai 阿貴 (Full name Ng Fong Gwai 吳芳貴. Played by Angie Cheung)- The second wife of Hoi, who looks exactly the same as Choi Yiu (in fact, the two characters were played by the same actress, who needed a break from the show during its production). She became Bing's god-sister, before marrying Hoi. Her questionable (some say downright lacking) ethics have brought her into various disputes throughout the series. She was previously romantically linked with Ah Nam.
- Keng 阿瓊 (Full name Yu Keng 俞瓊. Played by Kingdom Yuen)- Auntie Yung's long-lost daughter, who eventually married the eldest son of Datuk Gui. Her mental capacity was impaired after a serious illness in her youth, leading her to be called "Idiot Keng" as a running gag. Keng and Gwai were brought up by the same foster mother.
- Vietnamese 越南 (Full name Leung Ga Ming 梁家明. Played by Kenny Wong) - Leung Yao's long-lost illegitimate son from Vietnam. Sensible and hardworking, he resembles Auntie Shin in character more than his half brother Yuen Choi and half sister Auntie Ho. He appears at the end of the series to acknowledge Leung Yao as his father, and has a turbulent relationship with an intelligent and pretty doctor, Chiu, who is the elder sister of Joon Joon.
Lau family (upper class in-laws)
- The Upper Class In-Law 上等親家 (Full name Leung Seung Yin 梁尚燕. Played by Gung Yu)- Ching Hwa's mother. Although her real name is Leung Seung Yin, she is widely remembered in the series as the upper-class person because of her initial discriminatory view towards less wealthy persons, in addition to commoner cultures and customs that she considered as "undesirable" for her and her aristocratic cabals. The attitudes, however, somewhat subsided after the family went broke.
- Ching Wun 劉清芸- Rich, initially snobbish, and highly educated, Ching Wun's love for Dai Sing was strong enough for her to decide to leave her upper-class life behind to marry Dai Sing, who couldn't provide much for her and their two children. She had to work in Sei Ma's bank as a teller eventually to support her own family, after having spent her whole life living off her rich Upper-Class Mother and brother Ching Hwa. She and Dai Sing would provide much comic relief sporadically throughout the series.
- Dai Sing (Full name Chan Dai Sing 陳大勝. Played by Johnny Ngan) - Elder brother of Wing Kum, who did some time in prison for a crime that he wasn't guilty of before he appears on the show. He has since operated a tea stand in the restaurant. He is best remembered for his marriage (And turbulent married life) to Upper-class In-law's highly educated and feisty daughter, Ching Wun. Dai Sing and Ching Wun have a son and a daughter.
- Melvin 梁尚人 - The Upper Class In-Law's younger brother would return from Canada a few years after his wife, Becky, runs away with all his money.

- Sharon 梁冰雪 (Played by Joyce Tang) - Sharon, who is Melvin's daughter, was blinded during childhood and is able to regain her sight after Auntie Ho's son, Lap Sang, performs eye surgery on Sharon. She therefore falls in love with Lap Sung and marries her, but the marriage was extremely ill-fated and ended up with the death of Rebecca, Sharon's miscarriage and loss of memory, and Lap Sung becoming a cripple. She gets her happy ending eventually though, after regaining her memories, and ends up with a promising young student back in New York (US) named Samson, who is a medical student.
Auntie Ho family
- Auntie Ho 好姨(Full name Leung Yun Ho 梁潤好. Played by Nancy Sit)- Leung Yao and Grandma Ga's younger daughter and sister of Auntie Shin and Yuen Choi. She was sold by her parents to an old Mainland Chinese while they were in financial trouble a long time ago. Auntie Ho, therefore, bears a significant grudge against her parents and resent them for neglecting her when she was younger in favour of Shin and Choi (this eventually subsided though). She is quite feisty and works in many different occupations. Her love interests include Melvin, aka "mao see" (literally cat poop) (Upper Class in law's younger brother), Biu-Lang-Hon (Bing's elder brother), and a doctor, Shan Qing, whose characteristics is not very different from Seymour Skinner on US Cartoon Series The Simpsons.
- Lap Sang 立生 (Full name Tong Lap Sang 唐立生. Played by Marco Lo)- The most educated person in the family and is the son of Auntie Ho and her long-lost lover (who is a scammer). This biological father of his tried to expose his true identity as a son born out of wedlock but failed. When Lap Sang returns from medical school in the UK, he is romantically linked to Rebecca (often called "Banana" by Auntie Ho). Eventually, Lap Sang marries Melvin's daughter, Sharon, after Sharon gets pregnant. Rebecca is twisted and jealous and sets up to ruin Lap Sang and Suet. He is a doctor who eventually was convicted of kidnapping and served time in prison. Since that time, he went through a transformation and rehabilitated his reputation. He is remembered for his romance with a social worker, whose trials and tribulations was portrayed right up to the end of the series. This social worker, Jing, became his second wife.
- Ah Jing 阿靜 (Full name Lam Jing Chuen 林靜川. Played by Wallis Pang)- A pretty social worker who has a slightly turbulent courtship with Lap Sung. She eventually becomes pregnant with his baby. During her pregnancy, she is beaten into a coma by the lover of Fuk's scheming second wife, who married Fuk only because she was after the family's money. Jing eventually woke up from her coma and became Lap Sung's second wife. (His first wife was Upper-class In-law's niece, Sharon)
- Seung Seung 雙雙 (Full name Tong Lai Seung 唐麗雙. Played by Candy Law Lum)- Half-sister of Lap Sung. She is the daughter of Auntie Ho and her husband, a rich doctor. Once sold into an arranged marriage by Auntie Ho, Seung Seung's first love was Hoi, even though Hoi had already been courting Choi Yiu for many years while they were growing up in the Lee family. Hoi, however, never took a chance with her, and Seung Seung eventually married Kwok Qiu, an elderly doctor, and left for the US. Seung Seung and Hoi had a baby, whom she cannot bring herself to acknowledge. Hoi and Choi Yiu, and later Gwai after Choi Yiu's death, would take care of this child, treating him like their own.
- Principal In-law 校長親家 The hard-to-get-along, highly principled without being nasty or unreasonable retired principal who eventually became Auntie Ho's mother-in-law.

- Shan Ching 高山青 Auntie Ho's husband. Old and unmarried; very afraid and controlled by his own mother Principal Gao, he eventually falls in love with Auntie Ho after a long period of time where they would tease and squabble with each other. It took a long time for Principal Gao to finally allow him to marry Auntie Ho, and it is ironic because of what happened in the past with Auntie Shin and Grandma.
- Ah Mun 高雅文 (Played by Cally Kwong鄺美雲) Shan Tseng's stepsister. A very capable businesswoman with business dealings with Hoi and Ching Hwa. She got into a breakdown after finding out that her boyfriend was gay, and that her real mother wasn't Principal Gao, but someone else who died many years ago. She finds solace with Hoi, who was having serious problems with his marriage to Gwai at that time.

- Ji Ho 子浩 (Full name Lee Ji Ho 李子浩. Played by Chang Tse Sheng)- The most memorable villain of the story. He came to Hong Kong along with Biu Lang Han, but he is the biological son of Auntie Yung.

- Siu Mui 小梅 (Full name Lee Siu Mui 李小梅. Played by Lam Yi Kei)- The sister of Ji Ho.

She never forgave him and her dying wishes was to be buried in Hong Kong rather Malaysia, as a symbol that she never wish to follow him home.
