My Thoughts so far:
Actually to my surprise I actually liked this series.  They probably just could have just called it "Dinner at Eight" since I never understood why they bother to call it Come Home Love beside trying to keep the popularity it once had.  It is totally a unrelated story line to the original.  Although I did find it cute that Terry and KC continued in this series but just as different characters but same loyalty.  I like that Ryan got together with Wan Fei Fei and didn't make her stuck on Koo Hiu-san.  I felt they are trying to pair everyone up so eventually if they can end this show where no one is really left out but I'm sure they can change it if they wanted to.

Interesting fact is "Off Pedder - 畢打自己人" was the spin off of "Best Selling Secrets - 同事三分親"  In that sitcom Wayne character (Koo Hui-san) and Teresa character (Lam Siu Siu) ended up together.  "Dinner at Eight" is almost like a parallel universe where most of the characters are in other sitcoms we see.

I just wonder how long this series will last considering Come Home Love was 995 episodes with 190 of it being part 2 with a spin off of different characters in a fitness center retaining the show's name which was the part where I stopped watching.  "Dinner at Eight" is sort of like a part 3 but not really.  It has its own uniqueness.  What do you think of the show so far?
