The Building Blocks of Life (Traditional Chinese: 建築有情天) is a TVB modern drama series broadcast in December 2007.

Isaac (Alex Fong), a rising architect in a construction company, is about to engage with his lover Winnie (Christine Ng).

Right before they marry, Isaac unknowingly falls in love with a fellow architect employee named Freeda (Tavia Yeung), spending time with her despite remaining loyal to Winnie.

Soon Isaac's architectural job would be disturbed by all the unnecessary trauma and chaos caused by his anxiety-stricken future wife.

As a new tactic, Brian resorts to bribing SY (Chung King Fai), the CEO of the construction company.

SY's daughter On-Kiu (Natalie Tong) is a beautiful but extremely naive girl.

Her father had initially set high expectations for her to graduate in dozen possible major universities in the United Kingdom, though On-Kiu was never good enough as a student.

Brian now oversees all corporate decisions, including payroll, bonuses, and all human resource issues.

As retribution, Brian physically strikes Isaac's hand with a wooden bat so he can no longer draw.

One day, On-Kiu discovers that her father has been protecting the company and family reputation by putting-up with endless manipulation and financial abuses due to her fake diploma.

Brian eventually loses control of everything, including his health; having developed intestinal cancer with a 50-50 chance survival rate.
