Analysis

The Hong Kong Economic Times said that the television series was numerous Hongkongers believed that "having a home is only possible if you own a flat" and that after the "financial turmoil", numerous property owners found their negative equity flats to be a burden. The newspaper said the television series shows viewers the "delicate relationship" between "owning a flat" and a "having a home", emphasising that "owning a flat" is not necessary for "having a home" because "family affection is more precious".^[7]
