This is a comedy, it's light hearted and very hilarious. You also see growth in compatibility between our two leads Charmaine and Moses (so unlikely to be together at first!). I'd recommend it because it's funny and cheesy. Currently available on Drama Fever 02/01/18

My first and favorite drama
I watched this for the first time when DramaFever was still around and was so happy to see it on Tubi again. Everything was as great as I remembered! The story, the casting, and the comedy it’s all so amazing and works so well. You’ve got four different couples to follow along the comedic up’s and downs on their paths to love and what it means to be a family. I love it from beginning to end and always recommend it to my friends! Even if it is a bit long but they use that time to fully flesh out each character and what makes them unique. So if your stuck at home of these days and want something to lighten your spirits turn on Tubi and give it a watch I promise you it’s worth it!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Kam Duo Lok was not your typical male lead. He was neither smart nor brave. He was not a talented scholar, a great martial artist, or even a shrewd businessman. Actually, he was kind of a bum, though one that was lucky enough to be born into a rich family. He won’t stand up for himself, but he was willing to stand up for others when no one else would. His heart was in the right place and that was how he won over his princess. Moses Chan always has comedic chops and was a good fit for this role. His most memorable moment was when he led his brothers-in-law in protest against their abusive wives. He fearlessly roasted his own wife, her sisters, and even his father-in-law, the emperor himself. Moses looked like he was having a blast with this scene. Too bad the script didn’t give him much else to work with.
Unlike Moses, Charmaine Sheh was still a little self-conscious in her acting. She seemed all too aware that she had to look pretty, even in the scenes that required her to look silly. The supporting cast wasn’t bad, mostly because you’re not supposed to take any of them seriously. As a comedy, it was amusing enough but not laugh-out-loud funny. They needed to have more “straight man” characters to make the jokes work.
A lot of work went into the making the costumes look rich and luxurious. Too bad the crew went overboard with it. Some of the colors clashed and the wigs were past the point of ludicrous. There were so much jewelry and ornaments, but they looked as cheap as the stuff you see at the night markets. The thick war paint didn’t do anyone any favors, either, especially Charmaine, who was most radiant in simple hairstyles and light makeup. The makeup here made her look like she was in drag.
I like the Charmaine-Moses partnership since “Beyond the Realm of Conscience.” They seemed very comfortable with each other. Too bad TVB didn’t give them a better vehicle to showcase their talents.
