Synopsis
Nowadays, the young and ambitious focus on the pursuit of their goals and achieve successes at the expense of their families. Yet, when the going gets tough, people realise that nothing beats having the affectionate support and warm encouragement of one’s own family.
The series, Welcome Home, My Love tries to reflect, in a light-hearted manner, the process of rekindling long-forgotten family bonds. The family drama demonstrates conflicts and contradictions between traditional and modern values as it deals with various social issues such as materialism, unemployment, late marriage, irresponsible parenting, extramarital affairs and divorce.
The heart-warming tale of modern city life revolves around the working-class Jiang family headed by a conservative widowed father with traditional values who dotes on his four children.
Jiang family
At the core of the family is retired magazine chief editor Jiang Zhen Min (Ho Kwai Lam) who single-handedly brought up his children after his wife’s demise some 20 years ago.
To fulfil his wife’s dying wish, Zhen Min tries his best to provide his children with much love. However, they soon begin to pursue their own paths in life and a gap gradually grows between the father and his adult children.
