What a disappointment!

I love Bin Bin but omgggggggg!!! What a disaster this was (through no fault of his own, other than accepting this project.)
I watched the show on fast speed and skipped some chunks in the middle because I just could not handle it.


Plot:
Ridiculous.

So, we have four main female leads.
A martyr, a shrew, a doormat, and a doctor. Trust me, those are the nicest terms I've found to describe them. At least the doctor had a modicum of common sense to her.

The male leads are their own mess.
One goes from smarmy to devoted in an eye-blink.
Another is kind and sweet up until the minute he decides to become a full-blown psycho in order to "save face".
Then you have a fully grown man-child who happens to be a surgeon, if you'll believe it.
Add in the obligatory artistic "free spirit".
And to round off our circus, a younger brother who's abusive and oblivious to the point where I'd have cheerfully strangled him given half a chance.

The story itself deals with the struggles of relationships, families, money, and health. It's almost a slice-of-life of a group of people in their thirties.

Except the characters and the sceneries they face are improbable and ridiculous.

My gripes:
1) Grown people behaving like children. (Remember, these people are close to or over 30!)
2) Successful professionals risking reputation, businesses and money in the name of "love"
3) Successful professionals being unhinged emotionally, just full on looney-tunes
4) Inconsistencies of the characters. One goes from smarmy to nice. The other goes from nice to psycho. Just...why?

Acting:
Good.
Considering that I wanted to slap and/or scream at the characters 99% of the time, I have to give the actors credit for a job well done. 7/10.

Music/Cinematography:
Forgettable
