With or Without You is a 2015 Hong Kong period historical fiction comedy drama produced by TVB, starring Bobby Au-Yeung and Joey Meng as the main leads. Filming took place from October 2014 to February 2015 on location in Hong Kong and China Central Television Wuxi Film & Television Base.[1] The drama is broadcast on Hong Kong's Jade and HD Jade channels from 26 October till 6 December 2015 every Monday through Friday during its 8:30–9:30 pm timeslot with a total of 30 episodes.
The drama is a fictional telling of Song dynasty poet Su Shi and is the last of TVB's four 2015 grand anniversary dramas to be broadcast.[2]
The drama tells the story of Su Shi (So Tung Po), a poet from the Song dynasty, and his complicated family life. After his first wife's death, he marries a talented chef, Wong Yun Chi, but they often argue, and his son doesn't accept his new stepmother. Tung Po also worries about his sisters' love lives, one being pursued by a flirtatious man who hides a secret, and the other marrying Tung Po's friend after a series of romantic mishaps. Su Shi, known as So Tung Po, struggles with family issues in this drama. His second marriage to chef Wong Yun Chi is rocky, and his son resists accepting her. His sisters face their own romantic challenges: one deals with a deceitful boyfriend, and the other marries Tung Po's friend after previous heartbreak. The family faces further turmoil when a plague hits, revealing secrets and testing their bonds. The show follows Su Shi (So Tung Po) second marriage, his son's rejection of his stepmother, and his sisters' problematic love lives.
