A surprisingly good drama
I didn’t know what to expect watching this but I found myself really enjoying this drama. Joe Ma is the cool and suave bodyguard that we are getting used to watching but it never gets old, and pairing him up with Ali Lee was a great decision. The story was quite ridiculous but I let it off the hook because the drama was just so entertaining. The general premise is that Ali Lee’s character got married in England but her husband couldn’t have kids, so they got donated sperm from the sperm bank , which coincidentally was donated by Joe Ma after losing a bet. Somehow, Ali finds out the doner was Joe so travels to HK to find him many years later after her husband passes away. Already the setup is a huge “wtf?” in my mind, and yet somehow it works. Ricco Ng plays the 17-year-old son to the two biological parents and somehow he managed to pull it off. He really does act and sound like an immature teenager.
Although the main actors were great, the major stand out for me was Yoyo Chen. Her character was flawed for sure but the number of scenes with her were all incredibly entertaining thanks to the personality of the character she was portraying. She plays the aunt to Joe Ma who just so happened to be younger than Joe in the drama, so the interactions between them can be a little awkward but hilarious as a result. The scene where she gets proposed to put a huge smile on my face.
But despite all these great things, it suffers from the old TVB rushed ending that make things a bit weird. It is not as bad here, but the final episode where Ali kept pushing Joe away made no sense. She explained it to her best friend but even then I was scratching my head thinking “what are you talking about?” It does have a happy ending, thank goodness, but that last episode for the most part had me really confused over what the writers were thinking.
Overall, a great feel good series and worth rewatching in future!
