Come Home Love: Lo and Behold (Chinese: 愛·回家之開心速遞; literally "Love Returning Home, Happy Delivery"), alternately known as Come Home Love: Happy Courier, is a 2017 daily half-hour Hong Kong sitcom created by TVB, starring Lau Dan, Angela Tong, Koni Lui, Stanley Cheung, Pal Sinn, Mandy Lam, Andrea So, Joyce Tang and Kalok Chow. It is produced by Law Chun-ngok who also produced the three previous Come Home Love.
Filming began in January 2017 and is filmed as it airs. The series premiered on February 20, 2017, airing every Monday through Friday on Hong Kong's TVB Jade, Malaysia's Astro Wah Lai Toi and Australia's TVB channels during its 8:00-8:30 pm timeslot, with an expected 180 episodes. Due to the show's popularity and high ratings, it has since been extended to 900 episodes and now airs six days a week (excluding Saturday). In September 2020 the show aired its one-thousandth episode, exceeding the episode count of the first series. Additionally, it exceeded A Kindred Spirit's episode count (when aired as a sitcom) when its 1128th episode aired, making it one of the longest running drama shows in Hong Kong television history.[1]
Premise
[edit]The story revolves around the Hung and Lung family, their work lives and friends, and in earlier episodes Lung King Fung's spirit that the Hung family befriends as one of the family.
Hung Shu Kan (Lau Dan) is the head of the Hung (Chinese: 熊) family and also the owner of a transport company. Kan's younger brother Hung Shu Yan (Pal Sinn), is a photographer who comes to live with Kan. Other members of the Hung family: eldest daughter Hung Sheung Sin (Joyce Tang) who is away in the United States but later returns home; assistant manager of marketing and second daughter, Mary Hung Yeuk Shui (Koni Lui); University student and youngest daughter, Hung Shum Yu (Andrea So); and University student and son of the eldest daughter, Kam Shing On (Kalok Chow).
Early episodes focused on Lung King Fung (Andrew Chan), a rich heir who "died" in a car accident just as Shu Yan was taking pictures nearby. Fung's spirit was transferred into the camera; only the Hung family and certain others who touch the camera can see Fung.
