I am a fan of the actor interpreting the main lead. He gave a solid performance in this one, though if you were expecting a more realistic portrayal such as he gave in My Mister, you would have to re-set your expectations: the writing in this one is different, the subject is treated in a more comedic fashion.

I must say that imho it was not always done in the most tasteful manner, if you were trying to convey a point about something dramatic, making the wounded lead the butt of a joke in the next moment does tend to detract from the dramatic tension... it would be okay in a different drama, where the focus was not so much on the feelings and inner world of the protagonist, but on other aspects, such as in the Chinese drama Divorce Lawyers' initial scene... but you cannot really go from depicting emotional pain to making the sufferer the butt of a joke without at least some of the pathos being lost in the process.
