★The Soul Symbiosis Trio

The story begins with a car accident involving taxi driver Koo Sui-fat (played by Kenny Wong) and housewife Cheng Cheng (played by Jennifer Yu), triggering an absurd daily life of "one body, two souls":
Battle for the Body: A male soul trapped inside a pregnant woman’s body, suffering from morning sickness and hormonal imbalance.
Clairvoyant Revelation: Their rebellious daughter Rene (played by Garie Shum) is the only one who can see through the soul-swapping truth.
Family Role Reboot: Cheng Cheng is forced to act as a virtuous wife to her husband An Jai (played by Colin Chan) while pretending to be a loving mother teaching their son Lam Sing (played by Tiger Yau Ngo Yin).

★Role Reversal Study

Kenny Wong challenges "cross-gender acting":
Designed 30 masculine micro-movements such as stroking beard stubble to differentiate soul states.
Highlights body-awareness conflict by drinking bird’s nest soup in a squatting construction worker posture.
Jennifer Yu interprets the "soul vacancy period":
Uses unfocused eyes and stiff body language to express the feeling of a dormant physical body.
Creates a dramatic twist when her voice suddenly switches back to her original soul’s tone during a prenatal CD recording.

★ Family Equation

The script embeds three major intergenerational themes:
Father-daughter estrangement: Koo Sui-fat relearns how to connect with Rene through Cheng Cheng’s body.
Mother-in-law vs. daughter-in-law war: Grandma Meili (played by Alice Hui Po Hang) embodies traditional child-rearing views clashing with the male soul’s diaper philosophy.
Pregnant cancer patient: Jia Ning (played by Bonde Sham Lok Yi) reflects on life and death, mirroring the protagonist’s conflicted feelings toward new life.

★ Unique Production Points

Dual visual effects: Superimposed virtual images of Koo Sui-fat appear within Cheng Cheng’s mirror reflections.
Pregnancy prop innovation: Adjustable silicone pregnancy bellies simulate changes in pregnancy stages.
Authentic street scenes: Life-size reconstructions of Sham Shui Po subdivided flats and a back-alley taxi stand at a cha chaan teng.

★ Social Issue Metaphors
Experiencing pregnancy struggles through a male soul challenges fixed gender roles.
Using the clairvoyant element to explore the “invisible” family sacrifices.
The cancer subplot resonates with Hong Kong’s birth rate concerns and life education themes.
