English Title: House of Spirits Chinese Title: 一屋老友記 Genre: Modern, Comedy, Supernatural Producer: Fong Chun Chiu Episodes: - Costume Fitting Date:November 13, 2015 Filming Location: - Filming Period: - Cast: Bobby Au Yeung Nancy Wu Joyce Tang Koni Lui Helena Law Jonathan Cheung Wu Fung Law Lan Lau Kong Description Paying homage to TVB’s past ghost comedies, the new supernatural comedy House of Spirits <一屋老友記> will be gliding into Hong Kong TV screens on Monday, June 27th. The 31-episode drama is inspired by the 1980 TVB ghost comedy Don’t Look Now <執到寶>, a hilarious comedy about an elderly, retired fireman and his row with four ghosts who enjoy possessing his family members to communicate with him. Synopsis Retired dim sum sifu Bo Luk (Lau Kong 劉江) suddenly passes away. He leaves behind a will, and names his eldest son Bo Foon (Bobby Au-yeung 歐陽震華) as the executor. As instructed on Bo Luk’s will, Bo Foon gets his three younger siblings to come back to the main house, where they are to live together for nine months before offering the property up for sale. Second daughter Bo Yan (Joyce Tang 滕麗名) is an inconsiderate wife, and refuses to bring her Mainland Chinese husband Mui Chiu (Tsui Wing 徐榮) and their daughter back to Hong Kong with her. Third son Bo Yu (Jonathan Cheung 張穎康) and his wife Yu Fa (Koni Lui 呂慧儀), both stingy and profit-minded people, are more than happy to come back and take advantage of the house. Youngest son Bo Yi (Bob Cheung 張彥博), who is studying abroad, immediately returns to Hong Kong after hearing the distress call. Amidst all the sibling conflict and rifts, Bo Foon discovers that he has the ability to see ghosts. He befriends Bak Wah (Bowie Wu 胡楓) and Yi Lan (Helena Law 羅蘭)—a pair of elderly, bickering ghosts who have been haunting the house for many years. The two elders often use their wit and powers to help Bo Foon solve his family drama, but their help is often hilariously futile. Meanwhile, Bo Foon employs the help of hydropower technician Chu Chan-chan (Nancy Wu 胡定欣) to fix the house’s pipes. Bo Foon and Chan-chan struggle to get along, but their constant squabbling leads to an interesting fate. Promo Video
I think without bobby, this series would be a little boring... he adds seriousness and funny at the same time... not bad.. enjoying it
who's nancy? :-o hahhaha ops sorry I forgot nancy was in the series yeah she doesn't have much screen time yet. I prefer her with wayne lai than bobby. it feels a bit odd for her to be with bobby.... hope the chemistry is good!
when he sees his dad in his dreams reminds me of pillowcase mystery both nancy and bobby best series involves ghosts?
so i watched one of the episodes with my parents and it sparked an interesting conversation between my dad and I. It also made me think how big of a generation difference there is, and the thinking, mostly just traditional thinking vs modern. So the debate was, who is right and who is wrong? Was Bobby wrong for leaving all the siblings when they were young to chase a dream, and are the siblings wrong for holding resentment towards Bobby? My dad's argument was Bobby was wrong because as the oldest kid in the family, it is his absolute responsibility to look after the family and MUST sacrifice his dreams. My argument was I don't agree because once you are in your 60s or 70s, you don't want to look back with regrets. What do you guys think?
fair enough, I personally would sacrifice a lot of things for family and friends, but I do not think my dreams is one of them. I think what I am most afraid of is hitting my 60s and 70s and then think back and hope I did not regret not taking that job, or making the risk of not trying different things in my career. But I do see the point of the more family-centric arguments
