    Kinda lousy comedy- a far cry from a replacement of "Come Home Love"

    meh I think it's just a CNY short sitcom, hence the 15 episodes. I thin in the mean time they are looking for something else to replace CHL

    Yep just a short term break from regular Come Home Love.

    A new "CHL" series is in production called 愛回家之開心速遞, english title is Our Family Soulmate. Tong Ying Ying, 10 Jai (Mark Ma), Ah Tung (Kalok), and Lam Wor (Ricco Ng) are returning, Lau Dan, Pal Sinn, and Koni Lui are also joining. Sitcom will focus on online shopping i believe.





    Anyways, how's this sitcom so far? xaznxryux

    oo Koni Lui :woot::woot::woot:

    i briefly watched it when visiting my parents, I kinda like it...the idea has been used many times in the past, but it's supposed to be a light series. It's one of those, you're not missing out on, kinda series.
