    Default Family Man

    I know there was a thread about this but I've already searched through the 7 pages and it's gone. I just bought this serie, was tempted into buying coz it's bilingual Canto-Mandarin with Bahasa subs, quite a rare thing to get. I have only seen episode 1 so far. Anyone care to share their thoughts? Thanks.

    Good series and have some funny moment. It is not one of the series that I would go out and buy... but it does have a family value to it.

    I recommend it for family viewing. Also the girls(Sonja, Flora, Myolia, etc) in the shows and the dad (Chu Pai) are pretty convicing that they are a family

    This is a great one! Get your tissues ready. Plenty of this-is-so-touching-I-can't-help-crying moments.

    And yes, it's also hilarious at times. Moses Chan did a fantastic job. Never been a fan of his, but he really impressed me this time around. He and Michael Tong make a great buddy pair.

    Great to watch for entertainment but not great to own this series. I don't like Moses and his comedian act is not as natural & good tho he tried to.

    I guess different people have different opinions. Moses Chan is very funny and quite natural as far as I'm concerned. I also think it's a great series to own.

    Moses and michael in this series is a real funny pair. Moses is such a sweetheart...it took Flora so long to notice that. Sonjia had already noticed his charm and fallen for him. This is the first series that I've watched with Moses, so of course I like him because he was more silly and funny than his other roles...the second series I watched with him is Take My Word For It and I think he's doing well with his acting. I think he could be a versatile actor indeed.

    I hate Myolie Wu...always that Fake innocent and cute acting...ACK She always has that sour expression on her face....ppl should call her sour patch girl (like sour patch kids--candy). Eh I couldn't stand her here....and I thought TVB could've picked someone else to play Flora's role.

    Wasn't moses a model and surfer... and part time actor. I remember him in movies like Legend of Speed, GenX cops, etc... I think he plays great bad guy... and from what I heard in real life he is not a bad guy.

    Now he is focusing in acting for TVB and he is raw in some series but he is getting better. I am glad he is doing comedy, drama, etc... some actors are stuck in one role and can't break out of it.

    i think moses was a model (or is still?) i think i saw him in older movies but can't remember the title. i think it's abt motorcycling? but i first saw him in hh2 and was not really fond of him then. in fact, i practically ignored him. it's only in where the legend begins that i like him. great acting as cao phi. then family man, pitnol, bh....
    im also glad he tries out different roles. he's a versatile actor indeed

    moses really one of tvb's great actor, i first saw him in HH2, but not really like him there, and his character was kinda bad too.

    then, he stared in other series like where the legend begins, pitnol, bh and family man, i thought he's not bad.
    he can play a serious role, evil, or even hilarious.

    Thanks for all the comments guys and gals, I think I will not regret buying this serie, I like the atmosphere of it ever since watching the first episode. Besides, the only way I can watch this serie is to buy it coz rent isn't available. I don't know, I'm kinda obsessed buying original VCDs atm, even if it means I've got to slash my other necessities.
