In a world where the rich and poor are never meant to mix, handsome Bao Hoang is the heir to a private hospital business and one of the most eligible bachelors going. He’s also the target of Tu Lac and her family, a working-class clan made up of a rowdy mother who is a maid to a wealthy family, a handyman father who is divorced and in the doghouse for dodgy dealings, and a thieving brother who is always looking out for number one. Dysfunctional and downtrodden due to rotten luck, they see Bao as their meal ticket and concoct an outrageous scheme to help Tu ingratiate her way into Bao’s heart. They just have to get past his fierce mother first…
Exuberant melodramatic acting coupled with flamboyant direction and fabulous costumes and settings makes this a visually dazzling comedy drama while light social critique and a romance between a beautiful couple from opposite sides of the tracks adds enough poignancy to evoke tears and sad sighs.
