A CLASSIC, NOT FOR BEGINNERS THOUGH

I would say Hong Kong Newbies might feel put-off by this drama if they haven't seen a couple of TVB family-based dramas before. I recommend checking out a couple of dramas with similar themes or cast before, you will definitely enjoy it more!

The story THRIVES in the CHEMISTRY and FAMILY RELATIONSHIP DEPARTMENT. It's so easy to fall in love with the main cast from episode 1.

Melodramatic? YES
The pacing isn't fast either, but I still love it more than part 2! I absolutely LOVE THIS CAST!


I rewatched it in 2020-2021 (a bit of episode here and there) and it's still great, but obviously, there is a HUGE gap in technological advances in the 2000s vs. dramas now. The editing is choppy, the background music is too loud and distracting from the story, but IT'S STILL WORTH IT! It's understandable why this can appear off-putting to non-long-time TVB viewers.

Music? THE OPENING SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD FOREVER.

Rewatch value- ENDLESS? I feel like this is the heartwarming family/melo-drama I want to show my kids in the future.
