    So the first episode aired Monday night. Did anybody watch it? How did you like it? I'll wait for some feedback before starting it. All I can say from seeing pictures is that I don't like Fala's hairstyle in this one. Are these bowl cuts the trend in Hong Kong right now? I keep seeing it in HK and Korea.

    I think Fala is wearing a wig. I agree it's ugly. Bowl cut is one thing. But, her bowl cut is uneven in length. It looks like a failed job by an amateur trainee hairstylist. I hope she changes her hairstyle later in the series.

    I watched the first episode and then skimmed the next 4. The first episode was a total bore honestly. But watching the antics in 2 to 5, I really like the characters (minus the husband). It's just the script that's the problem. I like Christine, Fala, and Louise's acting! I think they're pretty good. And Fala finally getting to talk after Moonlight Resonance!

    Anyone else think the casting of the husband is too old for Louise...? He is definitely grandpa material, especially since I watched him in My Family where he was a grandpa.

    I am enjoying this series a lot. Great casting. Love Christine in this role especially. Fala's acting have improved a lot and she seems likable now in TVB series. :-) I think Fala's Dad is not too old to Lee Si Kei, after all in this series they have been married for 30 years. The husband looks like in his 50s. So far, I'm in eps 4.

    The husband is getting annoying now with all his grumbling and mumbling!! If not for Christine and Evergeen, I will not continue watching this series.

    I've watch until episode 6 and I'm enjoying this series very much. I actually enjoy this series more than 'Family Link'.

    Just watch the 'bra' scene that the viewers and media has been complaining about. It's nothing. Not sleazy or obscene. Just a short scene (less than 5 minute) done for comedic purposes.

    This is a light-hearted and warm family series that shares some good family virtues you can usually expect from Louise Lee. The series keeps me interested with the progress of the relationships between Fala's character and Timmy's character and Christine's character and Evergreen's character. Other than that, nothing much to look forward to. I do agree that the patriarch's constant rants and Fala's hairstyle here are pretty annoying.
