Come Home Love: Lo and Behold (2017)

As of the date I am writing this review, this show is still airing on TV. This show originally started off rocky and showed stark differences from the original Come Home Love sitcom. In the first hundred to two hundred episodes or so, there is a story arc involving a ghost that joins the Hung family on their adventures. The ghost leaves the show at around the three hundred mark due to contract issues with TVB, but they tie up the loose ends nicely.

This Come Home Love spinoff is much more lighthearted than the original. It's not as serious and much more conservative and "censored", so it is more suited for children to watch. The original dealt with much more serious issues that may have been unsuitable for kids.

There will be some episodes that seem annoying, cringy, or incredibly infuriating to watch, but I've learned to be persistent because there will be plot twists. Each episode will bound to make you laugh and though it is over four hundred episodes long, with an estimate of around five hundred forty as of 2019, this show is worth watching.

There are meaningful themes in most episodes which I personally appreciate and look forward to. It's fun to watch the characters grow and see how their story unfolds. I'm particularly excited for Koni Liu because this is her first big break and she's doing a great job.

I wasn't too keen on the original theme song, but I really like the one by Jaqueline Wong.

I hope you give this show a try and will enjoy watching this show as much as I do.

The perfect Family, Workplace Sitcom especially during a Slump!

So over the years i've seen this airing forever a decade long at this point and there's an episode for every scenerio, the characters are lovely and relatable, there are bigger storylines like how the main daughters fall in love and get married eventually but the chaotic environment of the family is so quick and easy to binge 10 eps at a time, since it's only around 20 mins an ep.

I watched this dubbed in my native language and it became a meal time go-to or when i'm doing chores. You kind of find your favorite characters and watch those specific episodes. A lot of these episodes have great messages behind them, also since the eldest daughter of the family is a writer and she dates a director they come up with crazy schemes together.

My favorite storyline to follow is the 2 oldest sisters and sometimes Terry. We get a lot of eps that has misunderstandings, rumors, petty schemes and pranks it's honestly impressive to see how far the story expanded from following the main lives of the main family to their co-workers, friends, relationships and even their pet dog gets their own special episodes.

I get why the show keeps going because there's so many characters, the world feels lived in. If you want to start you have to watch at least the first few in order to understand the characters for each environment, but after that you can skip around and watch what you want or play roulette with it.

If you need specific episode recs i think the ones in the 900s are really funny got some good back to back eps, 980 with mary and Linda is a good one.

Also if you grew up watching TVB dramas there will be several familiar faces as camoes through out the series!

This show holds a special place in my heart cause it really lifts up my mood and i think that's why it's so well loved and continues to pump out new eps, family friendly, relatable to everyday life and they cover lots of real topics like relationship issues, family, friendship, finances and more in a light hearted way!
