I was really looking forward to this drama the moment I heard about it. Steven and Linda is a refreshing couple and I like that. It's a pity that this is also Steven's last TVB drama. The overall storyline is interesting and ah, I'm really going to miss Steven after this. I also heard the ratings were really good after the first episode. I can't wait until it comes out in USLT.

Ahh I really like this drama! Started watching it yesterday and am all caught up with the 5 episodes! Mmm, I really like Nancy Wu in this...she was such a b**** in the curse of the royal harem!

Ah, this is Steven Ma's last TVB drama? I haven't seen him in a drama for so long and this is his last one...=/ this sucks

Yes this is his last drama with TVB. He terminated his contract early due to TVB stopping him from filming in mainland (they let others like Kevin, Bosco, Raymond) go film up there with no problem but Steven they didn't. A director wanted Steven for this one role and TVB without asking Steven deny it and that push the last button. Steven did mention that he has alot of projects now in mainland but he wouldn't rule out working with TVB again. He might sign a per series contract with TVB like Charmaine

anyways I'm watching this drama and love it! So happy Steven's last drama is lighthearted and warm . really love his bickering with Linda most of the time haha

Oh dang, I didn't know that was the reason for why he wasn't terminating his contract...it's pretty messed up for them not to let Steven film in mainland (where they make a ton more) but let other TVB actors...

I cried at the end of ep 10! It was so sweet! I wonder if the younger sister will be famous because of this...

@anjerlaninja Omg me too! It was so emotional! 

I'm loving this drama, its so light hearted and funny! And not to mention the cast, always loved Steven and Linda's collaborations!   

I also like how the storyline revolves around family, and does anyone else think this drama reminds them a bit of Moonlight Resonance?

I think this is one of the best tvb series i've seen in YEARS. The cast, humor, characters, pacing...all great!! I love how it focuses on each character without dragging out each story too long. Overall its just a very enjoyable and lighthearted series to watch after a long tiring day... no big drama or overly annoying characters, problems are solved quickly, lots of funny parodies. This is one of the few series where I actually like Linda's character, i think her acting is great here...all the cast members seem to be very comfortable around each other.
