Temporary Chinese title: 《愛．回家之三代同糖》
Pinyin title: Oi Wooi Ga Ji Saam Doi Tung Tong
Temporary English title: "Come Home Love: Three Generations of Sugar"
Producer: Marco Law
- The brand new sitcom is confirmed to premiere in August.
- Filming commences in mid-July.
- The three leads are Stephanie Che, Jinny Ng, and Desta Lee.
- The sitcom is a light urban comedy about 'female awakening', 'generational sparks', and the 'attack of AI'. The plot is about Stephanie suddenly 'awakening' and flying from Hong Kong to Canada to move into the home of her single mother daughter, Jinny, determined to recapture lost time and the feeling of first love.... It turns out that, back then, Stephanie had a major falling out with Jinny because she insisted on giving birth to her daughter, Desta. Now, Stephanie suddenly and unexpectedly enters and disrupts Jinny's life, and teams up with her granddaughter, whom she gets along with, causing a series of upheavals in the once peaceful Tong family.... At the same time, single mother Jinny also faces a major crisis at work; how will she cope with both her career and family in crisis?
- To enhance its relatability, apart from 'family' and 'generational communication' as its main storylines, it is also incorporating the 'attack of AI', 'restarting life', and 'current events' as selling points to deliver joy and life philosophies while closely following social trends and online buzz, resonating with viewers and providing emotional outlets.
- Stephanie and Desta will have duet scenes.
- Stephanie will play Tong Cho Ka Bing (唐曹嘉冰), a rebellious, carefree, and optimistic dream-chasing grandmother. Born into a traditional Chaozhou family, she now seeks to pursue her lost dreams. She loves her family, is intelligent and strong-willed, and has her own way of doing things; however, sometimes her strong sense of pride makes her seem stubborn and self-willed. She wants to mend her relationship with her daughter but does not know where to begin. "My mental age is possibly younger than you".
- Jinny will play Lesley Tong Man Lei (唐萬里), a stubborn, steel-willed middle-aged woman in the workplace who is tough on the outside but gentle on the inside. The unconventionality in all her life is reflected in her having a child out of wedlock. Afterward, she becomes a pillar of support for her daughter, becoming independent and strong, but also feels somewhat lost as her daughter grows up. She can handle the most difficult public relations crises in Hong Kong, yet she suffers a crushing defeat in the 'three-generation battlefield' of her own humble abode. "All KPIs at work are met, but the KPIs at home all failed".
- Desta will play Tong Sam (唐芯), a quirky, Zen, clear-headed Gen Z. She, who grew up in a single-parent family, possesses a maturity beyond her years. Using the most chill demeanour, she elegantly survives between the two monsters, her grandmother and mother. Like all girls, she loses interest in things very easily, but her sharp intelligence makes her a Jack of all trades. "The more you need me to commit, the more I want to quit".

Personal Note: Still a part of the 《愛．回家》 franchise....
Marco Law producing another sitcom after "Welcome to the House"....
I guess Stephanie's age is similar to when Elaine Jin played the grandmother in "Best Selling Secrets", but Jinny already has to play the mother of such a big daughter?! o_O'
