The cast of the original wildly popular Hong Kong television drama, A Kindred Spirit (Love, Home), which aired from 2012 to 2015, recently gathered for a nostalgic reunion dinner, demonstrating the enduring friendships forged during the show’s run. Key actors, including Yeung Cheuk-na, Max Cheung Tat-lun, Lisa Ch’ng Sze-ming, and Chris Lai Lok-yi, celebrated their continued camaraderie, with social media posts quickly shared by Yeung and Cheung, delighting fans who fondly remember the characters from the fictional Charles & Co. Solicitors law firm.
The highly anticipated gathering captured the lighthearted spirit of the ensemble drama, which starred Liu Dan, Lau Kong, Lai Lok-yi, and Evergreen Mak Cheung-ching in its initial iteration. Actress Yeung Cheuk-na posted a video compilation highlighting the evening’s jovial atmosphere. In the clips, she playfully inquired about the fitness progress of actor Edwin Siu and teasingly pressured Lisa Ch’ng Sze-ming and actress Mimi Lo (who was also in attendance) about their impending weddings, eliciting laughter and good-natured reactions from her former colleagues.
Yeung emphasized the unique bond the cast shares, stating online, “We finally got to meet! Why is it that every time we meet, we are so happy? Every time, we laugh almost enough to call an ambulance! After all these years in the industry, the happiest thing is harvesting this group of brothers and sisters. #ForeverAHomecoming #CharlesCoSolicitors.”
The sentiment was echoed by Max Cheung Tat-lun, who shared his own thoughts and media from the event. Cheung reflected on the decade since their run concluded, noting that while the show wrapped nearly ten years ago, the connections remain strong.
“A A Kindred Spirit gathering! Everyone is always full of love, laughter, care, greetings, and support,” Cheung posted. “Although our A Kindred Spirit was a decade ago, our love is eternal. So, we can proudly say that we are the real ‘A Kindred Spirit.’” He concluded with a hopeful note about potential future collaborations and the desire for even wider attendance at the next event.
The original production, known locally as Oi Yuut Jau Gaa, not only achieved high ratings but also successfully integrated relatable family issues and workplace dynamics into Hong Kong media landscape, solidifying its place in pop culture history. The show’s characters are still deeply ingrained in the public consciousness, making these reunions particularly meaningful for loyal viewers.
The public display of solidarity reinforces the notion that prolonged shared professional experiences can translate into genuine, lasting friendships. These social media posts serve as a candid look behind the scenes, reminding audiences that the chemistry they saw on screen was rooted in true affection. For fans who followed the often tumultuous yet heartwarming lives of the Charles & Co. team, these occasional reunions provide a comforting echo of the show’s core message: the invaluable importance of support and familial ties, whether biological or chosen. As the cast members continue their individual careers, the hope remains that their enduring bond may one day lead to an on-screen revival or collaboration, fulfilling Cheung’s wish for future joint projects.
