Slow Boat Home (Chinese: 情越海岸線; literally "love exceeds the coastline") is a 2013 Hong Kong romantic comedy television drama produced by Leung Choi-yuen and TVB. The show was conceived in late 2011 by Leung, who aspired to write a youthful television drama for the aging TVB. Slow Boat Home was produced at 25 episodes, and the first episode premiered on TVB Jade on 13 May 2013.
The drama was primarily filmed in Cheung Chau.
The serial delves into the lives and relationships of several high school classmates from Cheung Chau, a small island district in Hong Kong. Cheung Po-tsai (Raymond Wong Ho-yin), the 28-year-old son of a seafood restaurant owner, lives a seemingly aimless life that consists of stalking around the island and picking up fights with neighbors. He is, however, best friends with his polar opposite, Fit Wing (Ruco Chan), a hardworking medical intern in the city. While Cheung Po-tsai is struggling to gain his father's respect, Fit Wing is involved in an emotionally manipulative relationship with his high school sweetheart, Heidi (Selena Li).
The following is a table that includes a list of the total ratings points based on television viewership.
