Rewatch Value 10.0
This is such a delight. Quirky, silly, at times quite loud, but always warm-hearted. It's a sit com without much through story until the last third so it's easy to dip into when you need a bit of cheer. That's why I put the Rewatch Value up high - I will be visiting them again.

The plot may gleefully leap into and over plot holes, but the characters are consistent and well-delivered, This, and its abundant energy, is what makes it work - whether it's zinging through one nonsense or another, slipping into lakorn parody, or bringing the family closer together.

There were moments when Carissa and Pingpong were having so much fun bouncing off each other I wouldn't be at all surprised if the entire premise (4 half-siblings with mothers from different countries) was devised simply to let them play phi nong. Kao and Punpun are calmer in their roles, giving it some balance.

It's a VIU Original and available on all of the sites for the different countries they serve. If you're lucky enough to live in one, or have a VPN to pretend you do, look there.
