Synopsis
Renovation contractor KWAN KA-ON (Michael Miu Kiu Wai) is the elder of four siblings, while his wife SZE LONG-KIU (Sonija Kwok) is a typical housewife. Buying a house is their longtime dream. But when his eldest brother, KWAN KA-HONG’s business goes under, they shelve their plan to help him overcome his difficulties. KIU has to look for a job too. Unwilling to see ON shoulder the burden on his own, KWAN KA-LOK (Linda Chung), the third of the siblings, turns to her supervisor GAO WANG-CHIM (Michael Tse) for assistance, resulting in her taking part in an indecent proposal. Her boyfriend, TING KOON-FUNG (Ron Ng), breaks up angrily with her when he finds out about their affair. KWAN KA-WING (Him Law), the youngest of the four, prefers spending to saving and decides that he will in no circumstances help in the service of the mortgage. The family dream of buying a house turns out eventually to be a nightmare that never ends

I only watched the first 3 episodes so far and the main thing I keep thinking is that I like Michael Tse with a little hair a lot more than his closely shaved hair look he has right now. haha. It’s cute so far, and Mandy’s character is really annoying!
Also, this is like a mini E.U. reunion with Michael Miu, Laughing, and Ron!
Yeah im liking this series.
If i had to nip pick things…. I didnt like JJ even tho she only had like one line LOL she cant do anti social well will just have to see how she goes later on.
I dont know if this is a good thing or bad i forever see Oscar (and Fred) as kids (late teens – early 20s) i know both are in 30s but they dont look it! So Oscar being paired with Mandy seems a little weird to me he makes her look older
I love Ron and RoDa Best Couple
does anyone knows where to watch this drama?
You can watch it at these 2 sites:

http://www.maplestage.com/drama/
At azdrama(.)net
It’s a brilliant website for other tvb series!
I’ve only seen bits and pieces of this drama. I was watching “Wish and Switch” instead though a few of my friends told me this is a bit better than Wish and Switch.
From the scenes I’ve seen, Michael Miu’s character annoyed me and I felt sorry for Sonjia most of the time.
I’ve also noticed the Linda, Michael Tse and Ron triangle. I thought Linda’s character was really dumb to “repay” Michael that way. I disliked watching how indecisive she was and it slightly reminded me of her character in MR when she was switching between boys. Other than the fact Michael tse was married, I liked how attentive etc he was to Linda compared to Ron who was just the extreme jealous type.
And what a huge image change for Mandy Wong lol!
I agree with you abt the Michael Tse part!! Aside from the fact that he was married (even though that’s a HUGE fact) he was by far way more likeable than Ron. He was so sweet to Linda, who I agree was an idiot for “repaying” him that way. Geez, Michael didn’t even force her!
I watched the bulk of the series and I thought it was alright, but prolly because I expected it to be more silly and crazy and it actually turned out so serious (which is a good thing!) 🙂
does anyone know the english translation for the theme song
Ron is right when he tells linda that no one forced her to repay michael, it wasnt like he was holding a knife and making her do it
In L’Escargot episode 11 at the end they were playing a song what was it called
i want linda with ron!!!!
