Happy Family 哈比全家福 Synopsis:
The story introduces newlywed Yang Cong 杨聪 (William San) and Li Jia Xin 李嘉欣(Wayne Chua) who returns to their hometown in Kajang after a very long time, not knowing that they will be getting into a lot of unfortunate events later. Cong is the middle child in his family, with an elder brother, Yang Yang 杨扬 (Frederick Lee) and his two younger non-identical twins – Yang Guo 杨过(Adrian Tan) and Yang Mei 杨梅 (Lim Jing Miao).
Cong’s relationship with his family is shattered as they would argue over small matters all the time. To Cong, his elder brother, Yang Yang is not aggressive enough and would take a long time to settle small matters. Cong also dislikes both his parents whereby his mother, Lin Lai Jiao 林来娇(Pearlly Chua) would often get herself into trouble when she lends her hand to others, while his stubborn and old fashioned father is regarded as the worst family member to him. His twin siblings on the other hand, would often give him unwanted headache as they are both very different from each other although being twins. The only family member that Cong would miss is his late grandfather (萧裴弘), whom he spent most of his childhood days with.
Meanwhile, as anticipated by Cong, the atmosphere in his house turns out to be awkward the moment he and his wife, Jia Xin steps in. Cong’s mother then tries her best to change the mood by bringing up the family trip they planned for the next day, without Cong and his wife’s knowledge. Upset with his family’s treatment, Cong left and hides in his room.
The angry and tired Cong soon fell asleep and dream of his childhood, where he spent most of his time with his late grandfather in his carpentry workshop behind their house. The place reminds Cong the wish that he had when he was young. He wanted to replace all his family members whom he dislikes.
His wife, Jia Xin then explains to Cong about how she brought to life the family members from the portrait with the “happy potion” that she accidentally used to wipe the picture. Cong who is still in shock, decides to test them with various ways but fails to prove them as his real family members.
He then quickly finds ways to send them back to the family portrait where they came from but to no avail. He now has to live with the all new family members who had total opposite characters of his real family!
Meanwhile, Cong’s new mother who is bored takes the “happy potion” and wipes it on the other family portrait where her twin “jajabo sisters” (Tiang Kah Chee and Aenie Wong) – from the 70s are brought to life. Cong and his wife’s misery is doubled later with more visitors from their neighbourhood like the Wan siblings – Wan Ren Mi (Leslie Chai) and Wan Jin You (Yeo Yann Yann, Golden Awards Best Actress 2010), who has a crush on Yang Yang. Cong’s rich and nosy cousins – Fu Gui (Debbie Goh, Golden Awards Most Popular Actress 2010) and Fu Hao (Kyo Chen) also make an appearance later in the show.
Cong who had enough of the mess created by his new family members decides to “send” them back to the family portrait. As he was carrying out his plan, Cong accidentally breaks the photo frame. Cong and Xin is now forced to continue to stay under one roof with their new family and begin developing strong feelings for them soon after. Cong and Xin later worried about explaining the situation to the real family members when they are back the day after. Meanwhile, yet another surprise unfold with the new family members disappearing.
Cong then tries to look for the “happy potion” to bring them back but to his disappointment, it has all been used up. He then seeks solitary in the carpentry workshop behind his house. He fell asleep and dream of his late grandfather again. Will his relationship with his real family members change for good? Will he ever meet back his new family members?

Actress Wayne Chua who plays Li Jia Xin in the telemovie said that the process of filming this movie was very much a group effort that required many rehearsals. “As many of us were unfamiliar with filming ensemble scenes, we needed many rehearsals before the actual filming of the scenes. This was definitely not a one-man show, “she said.
William San agreed and added that there are many touching scenes in this telemovie that will make you reflect. “There are so many touching family scenes; so much so that some Malaysians might find it awkward when watching with their families because of our culture to not verbally express our feelings and love towards our family members,” he said.
However, he added that Happy Family would be a very good family-movie choice for the whole household on the Lunar New Year. It wasn’t only William who felt that way but the entire cast when some are spotted shedding tears after the screening of the telemovie including the bubbly, Lim Jing Miao. “Happy Family is such a precious movie and it has reminded me to spend my time with my family this Chinese New Year as I’ve never gone home for the past few years during this big celebration.
Watch the story unfolds on ntv7 when Happy Family premiers on the first day of Lunar New Year, 23rd January 2012 at 10 p.m.

Happy Family 哈比全家福 Review:
Happy Family is a comedy that suitable for everyone especially family to watch. A picture means a thousand words. The casting and production crew manage to enhance the importance of taking group family photos during Chinese New Year.I will always remember Miao Miao's act in this telemovie for sure. Oh ya, Jake's acting also good too. That funny Thai accent. Haha! Imagine three people riding the same motorcycle. How I wish I can have the "Happy Potion" too =)
Looking forward for their next artwork that can be watch in the cinema starting next year!
