Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2007 TVB sitcom exemplifies the 'long-running family drama' format dominant in Hong Kong television, where 300+ episode runs were standard for building loyal viewership.
Esther Kwan's dual role as both mother Wong Ka-Nam and her undercover alias Wong Fa required her to maintain two distinct performance registers for nearly a year of filming.
