Nothing special here. Plot wasn't that captivating. TVB's attempt at ancient comedy by trying to fuse modern elements such as rap weren't very cute or entertaining at all.

i had high hopes for this because i adore moses and charmaine. however, this drama left a very bitter after-taste in my mouth. i found the kam family very irritating (except susanna kwan). the clapping was really very cheesy and it got onto my nerves. i did not like the use of those cartoon effects. it cheapens the drama. a good comedy should rely on purely on humor to win over the audience, and not resort to such no-taste tactics.
to manytimesover, i, as a moses and charmaine fan, don't even enjoy this show, so i won't recommend people giving this drama a shot if possible. moses and charmaine have performed better in other comedies. their performance in here is mediocre at best, terrible at worst.

Besides the 32 episodes not serving enough justice for such a promising cast thus somewhat making the love storylines seem rushed I would recommend anyone willing to give this drama a shot. Not everyone enjoys this type of comedy, but some do. These reviews seem prejudiced to the fact that the drama is undeserving of the award it got, not for what the drama offers to its audience. Not all people like to watch tragic dramas either. Some actors and actresses in this drama don't usually play the roles that they did nor tried to create such humour before. It is light-hearted and interesting. Watching the first 10 or the first episode does not make the drama stupid or retarded, because the episodes following had the balancing intensity that you missed out on.

This drama is way too overrated and overhyped. The plot has no continuity, and the acting is very silly and over-the-top.
This is a very half-hearted attempt at doing slapstick comedy. This "comedy" falls flat and fails miserably.
I won't recommend people to watch this show. It's TOTALLY A SHAME that this show won Best Drama, when there are other better but criminally underrated TVB dramas this year.

The first few eps. were purely for laughs but as the series goes on the storyline really picks up. I love chemistry between the cast. Besides for all the clapping and rapping this series was really good. There were lots of funny, touching, and heart breaking moments in the series. CBML is definitely worth watching even if you don't like the cast. The series gets better as you go further into the series.

totally agreed with addictedtodramas' comment, only that I gave up even after the very first episode. I felt more stupid after watching the show.
I wont even give a star if it's not compulsory.

Gave up after the first 10 episodes. I read that this drama got the best drama award. Is this some kind of joke? If it is, then it's the biggest joke ever, and it's even funnier than the drama itself.
Gosh, this drama is RETARDED. The so-called jokes are LAME and repetitive. Who claps around and sings all the time? I suggest they should check themselves into the mental hospital.
I won't recommend this drama. It's your gain if you skip it, and your loss if you watch it.

over-the-top acting from both charmaine sheh and moses chan. pretty lame storyline as well, with dancing and clapping taking up about nearly the whole episode. the only thing good about this series is the theme song, and performances from fala chen and susanna kwan. otherwise, a waste of time. not worth watching, unless you're a die-hard (really die-hard) fan of charmaine and moses.

If you're looking for plot. This is the show for you.
In comedy though? I found some laughs here. It's not the best, but I think it was a alright spin. I think I was looking for the chemistry between Moses and Charmaine more than the show itself...
But I have to admit, although some parts were cheesy (the family spirit?) it was decent.
I really like their costumes o____o so nice!
But Drama of the year? Nahh...
Drama that's funny and you should watch? yesss!
