Slacker's review:
One of the highest rating drama in 2007. Actually I have high expectations for this drama, but somehow the plot is too predictable, and I was somehow disappointed with the development of the storyline and characters. Well, this drama focused alot on the relationship b/w fathers and sons. Many of us are closer to our mums, but I always admired those single dads, coz' it's also not easy for them to handle family problems. Our 2 characters Ci and Qing were imperfect daddies, but they're learning how to be a better father day by day. I like their interactions with the kids..very natural and funny. Somehow, the females here are more like supporting characters. But that's ok...I like Bobby and YoYo...their chemistry is good. Wong Hei and Tavia are not too bad, but somehow i didn't think Tavia suited Hei..lolz! And of coz i was sad that they didn't end up together! Ha Yu is as gd as usual...but watching him here made me realised how much i missed him in "Heart of Greed". Chris Lai did surprised me with his playboy image, but luckily he turned good and worked against his brother.
Themesong "Qin Jin" by Eason Chan....a rather ordinary song by him.
Well, tvb productions are always watchable, even if they are really average. "Fathers and Sons" is a heartwarming drama, but there's too much rivalry between Ci and the Min family towards the ending...
