They come and go but nothing can be as fulfilling as more wholesome and genuine pleasures like human connections. This is something that Hallmark’s ‘Pearl in Paradise’ tackles.
Hallmark is the ideal network to be bringing such a story due to its reputation of being the king of romance on television. The channel constantly produces some warm, candy-coated flicks that make even the dullest soul’s day.

However, their adventure makes them realize that there is more to life than a search for riches. They realize that love can be a bigger treasure than any pearl.
