Virtues of Harmony (Traditional Chinese: 皆大歡喜) is a Hong Kong television sitcom produced by Tsui Yu-on for TVB, which originally aired on TVB Jade from 17 September 2001 to 28 December 2002. It stars Nancy Sit, Frankie Lam, Michael Tse, Joyce Chen, Bondy Chiu, Cutie Mui, Louis Yuen, Yvonne Lam, Johnny Tang, Bernice Liu, Lau Dan, Stephanie Che, Joseph Lee, Hawick Lau, Johnny Ngan, Helen Ma, Timmy Hung, Sherming Yiu, Kingdom Yuen & Maggie Shiu. The series, set in the fictional town of Chi Lik Kung Tsan, revolves around the Kam House, a new rich family during the reign of the Chenghua Emperor (late fifteenth century Ming Dynasty). The story is inspired by the 2000 TVB comedy drama Colourful Life. Virtues of Harmony received positive reviews throughout its run, and became one of Hong Kong's most popular sitcoms of all time. Originally planned for 150 episodes, an additional 187 episodes were added to the series after achieving high viewership ratings. Virtues of Harmony spawned a sequel Virtues of Harmony II (2003), which takes place in modern-day, and an original musical (2002), which starred the same cast. The show was so popular that in 2018, TVB decided to rerun the show, with only summarizing it with 325 episodes on Tvb Jade. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
