Pharmaceutical company employee CHING SUM (Michael Miu) has an overbearing wife, KO LAI SUM (Maggie Cheung). In order not to fight head-on with her, he has been playing ostrich in their seven years of marriage. LAI SUM, however, has never stopped watching his move, as she always believes he is fooling around behind her back. SUM’s younger brother, CHING YEE (Michael Tse), laughs at SUM a lot, but he also feels sorry for his plight, and gives him practical advices whenever he can. One day, SUM is caught red-handed in Shenzhen by LAI SUM, who proposes to divorce him! YEE always claims he has never lost in the game of love, until he meets MIU LING CHI (Theresa Lee), a newly recruited management staff of the company. YEE loses bitterly this time, and almost loses his job, too.
Why is it that relationship can be earth-shattering but marriage only revolves around trifles? Miu Kiu Wai plays a henpecked man for the first time ever, and Maggie acts as his bruiser wife in her powerful comeback. So make sure you don’t miss this explosively funny romantic comedy which exposes the very truth about relationships!

I love seeing the return of older artists 😀 Yay for Maggie! Just like Esther, I feel like watching the series because Maggie’s in it! The title reminds me of Maggie’s other series “Better Halves” lol (not that I’ve watched that)
You haven’t watched ‘better halves’ ?
You are missing a good drama.
Maggie and Steven Ma is great duo.
(Of course… like many other TVB drama.. it tend to drag…)
BUT.. if you like Steven ma this is a MUST.
(love that dude ^^)
If you ever get the chance to watch ‘better halves’ you should do it.
——–
now back to topic
Michael Tse… -yay. I love this guy. (he was my hero in “Storm Riders” .. not Aaron or Ekin…I was a Michael fan 😀 )
Are you goint to do a review on this one?
yaye Maggie! i’ve liked her since Old Time Buddy. 🙂 watched the theme video for this & it looks hilarious! Michael Miu looks like a dork haha. i’m hoping it’ll be one of those all-out funny comedy shows with lots of heart. 😀
sounds like a pretty good drama! i thought maggie was tavia when i first saw the first picture!
i’m not sure whether i want to watch this series or not. i love that maggie is returning to TVB again, but this series doesn’t really captivate me. maybe i’ll skip this and wait for another one of her series to come out?
i skipped BSS and i was glad because the season of fate is a better series and it shows how esther is still a really good actress.
Maggie!!!!!!!!! YAY for her return 😀 Michael and Maggie seems like an interesting pairing.. not too sure about the other pair tho o_o
muahahhaha FINALLY! THE TIME HAS COME FOR MY BETTER HALF TO START SHOWING!! It’s about time, really. I’ve been waiting for this drama to air ever since like februrary 2009. ahen no exaggeration there. yes!1 I can’t wait until the 16th!! HOORAY!!! 🙂
OMG! THIS SERIES IS FINALLY OUT!!!!!!!! MICHAEL MIU IS VERY HANDSOME!
OMGSH OMGSH OMGSH. LOL yes he is! He is so aewesome. I just want to watch this drama cuz hes in it XD
YAH! I JUST STARTED WATCHING AND HE IS SUPER CUTE AND VERY COMPATIBLE WITH MAGGIE!!!!!!!!
I so completely stalk this page. Maggie is so awesome!!! She’s so pretty in My Better Half!!! LOL Her acting’s good too…LOL she was never my favourite actress before, but after this drama, she has certainly become my fave. LOL
you can watch it here
Watched the 1st episode, however don’t find it impressive enough. It’s quite boring to see the whole series on this husband-wife relationship and wife keep checking or misunderstands her husband. Cannot imagine it can drag on for 20 episodes unless it has some interesting plots. I’ll try another few episodes before I decide to drop or not.
acturally keep on watching it, it gets more funnier with michael tse n theresa lee chemistry
This is a good drama. I love tvb.
好剧啊ï¼è‹—侨伟好型啊ï¼
You know guys in this show Michael’s name pronunciation “CHING YEE (Tse Tin Wah)” is my chinese name but i dont know why im saying it anyways im trying to get use to this show as i have no interests into this show but somehow i will
So far for 2010 tvb drama been out,i have enjoyed watching this one the most. I found this drama funny/comedy and have interesting plots (except the babies bit,i dont agree) i’ll recommend this series for a must watch but maybe not for lil children coz it contains some sexual comments.I like the cast member in this drama they were great playing their roles e.g michael mui, maggie cheung, michael tse and theresa lee, i just dont understand why was the rating for this series was so low in hong kong?, but overall my opinion i rate this one 5/5*
So far i watched 7 my own opinion rating*:
season of fate : some funny bits but was draggy and got a lil boring 4/5*
beauty and the game : was a good plot but the charecters was not strong enough so it made me bored half way 3 1/2 of 5* christine ng was the best out of the cast
don juan demarcado: this mini series was just comedy, made me laugh most of the time 4 1/2 of 5*
wong cho lam charecter was a lil annoying tho
parts of watchdog tale: this drama was a hype,so i watch a few esp. It was ok was not has interesting has i thought 3/5*
parts of O.L supreme: I didnt find it all that funny but maybe i only seen a few esp. so far i give 2/5* bss is better
I agree!!! This drama really is good…although they did kind of drag the baby part…haha that’s true…not recommended for little kids, but if you think about it, it’s actually not that bad…nothing BIG happened…so I find it okay, and then you’ve got all these great cast here(although I personally don’t like Theresa…I think she can’t act) but overall, it was a really good drama, and was totally worth my time watching it… I’d give it a 5/5 too
The series was good, but I think the last two chapters were a bit forced. Why does TVB feel they need to turn a perfectly good comedy into a drama for almost every series? I would have thought that the misunderstanding between Michael Mui and Maggie Cheung’s characters would have lasted longer. The whole baby thing was just not really necessary.
Didn’t like this drama. It was boring and incredibly unrealistic and the characters were either annoying or useless. The unnecessary amounts of English was getting on my nerves, especially with Teresa Lee’s character, who got extremely irritating before long.
And the deal with the baby was not portrayed very well at all – realistically, there would be a lot more emotion and confusion and angst, but these guys were all happyhappy, as though there was no problem. Yeah, right.
Not a good watch, boring and annoying. 2/10
Anyone know who played the undercover police in the drama, who works in their fruit company. Found him resembles Micheal Miu in certain way.
zac kao
Haha, I was so happy for Maggie’s return! She’s one of my favorite actresses.
The whole thing was pretty funny, but the baby thing really disturbed me.
I loved when they dressed up as their idols lol. It reminded me of Maggie in Old Time Buddy, which was the funniest thing everrr. 🙂 Ahh, good times. 🙂
that was exactly what i was thinking when i watched this series…maggie really reminds me of her activing in the Old Time Buddy….When micheal miu said he is going to dress up, i was thinking he is going to dress up as Lei Kei to match with Maggie…did not expect him to dress up as himself in the EU….
can somebody translate the meaning of its theme songs?
i really want to know what it means.
tq.
Can someone look at the credits for episode 8 and tell me who the singer is and song title for the song at 24.20.
Could it be “Believe In Yourself“? No idea who the singer is
I just finished watching this series…i felt it was a bit depreesing for the last few episodes except for the last episode…first Lai Sum got to know that she has lost her baby and could not give birth, and then the “headmistress” got cancer, then the michael could not have a child. When i was watching these few episodes, i was still optimistic that there might be a twist in the series that is they saw the wrong report and that Lai Sum still have her baby or something like that. I guess TVB chooses a different route to show that Asian people are no longer that conservative? That is have someone carry the baby instead of those who are not able to carry them? (referring to Gigi)
Anyhow this is a good series…light hearted i would say…been a while since i watched Maggie in TVB series and i have to say that she still looks good and her acting is still great….i hope to see more of her series near future…
I haven’t seen he series so I can’t really comment but glad to hear you liked it 🙂 I think TVB likes to create a bit of drama for the episodes leading up to the ending XD
I loved this series… but like every body else i found the baby part to be unnecessary, i think it spoiled the whole show.
I love Maggie and Michael’s relationship, however there was a time where i thought the relationship of Michael tse and Theresa Lee stole the show…
I dunno about the rest of you but i love it when hk actors/actress speak english… therefore i loved it everytime Theresa Lee spoke english.
I really like the undercover cop… His so Cute. I loved him in D.I.E 2, the cocky “know it all” detective… n yes they porposely made him look like michael mui coz it make maggie remember her relationship with michael mui when they were younger.
I TOTALLY LOVE the undercover cop! he’s quite handsome. and i like his role in D.I.E. Again too! especially the “janet Jackson” part which makes him look (and sound) like a BOSS!
