No melodrama needed, for an engaging and fascinating watch of the medical community in HK.
I have always had a liking to HK medical dramas, as I grew up watching The Hippocratic Crush series, which brought star Kenneth Ma to stardom, making him one of my favorite HK actors. He is also in this drama, making it a must-watch for me. I would not say Kenneth Ma is the star of this drama as this drama offers more of an ensemble cast, but he is still awesome and deserved the best actor award. This drama takes place in one hospital; it can be said that we do not get much (or even any) about the context or upbringing of the characters, which makes the characters shallow and lacking a real soul, but that is not a very big problem for me, as I do not enjoy watching dull character moments. Also, each character has their own distinct personality, justifying the actions that they take throughout the story. As doctors, each character is calm and professional, making it realistic (as tvb dramas tend to add melodrama, when it is unneeded). Overall, a very different approach and perspective on the HK medical community and an enjoyable and joyous watch for me, offering an engaging and absorbing storyline, with subtle but solid performances from the actors.Was this review helpful to you?

This drama uses a relaxing way of telling the story of a lawyer with Dissociative Personality Disorder.
Evie Fong has two other people living inside her, one called 'Pina Colada" who is crazy, and one called "Sau Mak Mak" which is always sad and crying.
Lee Dong Kai is graduate of law struggling to find a mentor, he learns about Evie's secret, Evie doesn't have a choice but has to be Kai's mentor.
Theo Kei asks Evie to marry him, but Evie doesn't want Theo to know about her disorder.
This is how the relationship between Evie and Kai starts.....
Other dramas talking about Dissociative Personality Disorder uses a very harsh way of telling the stories like (the other personalities killing other people etc...) but this drama uses a very light hearted way of telling the whole story, so it makes this drama a very easy and refreshing watch. The story is a very big part of a drama, this aspect of Threesome does not disappoint at all, this drama talks about a lot of things like Psychology, Legal, Family and Love, it mixes in very well and it makes the whole drama very smooth.
Even if the cast of Threesome is not big heavy stars, it stars Mandy Wong, Ben Yuen and Jason Chan as the three main leads, along with Snow Suen, Gigi Wong and Arnold Kwok.
Mandy Wong's acting does not disappoint as "Evie" in this drama she practically became Evie, she also does not disappoint as "Sau Mak Mak" representing the cute side of her, well her acting as 'Pina Colada" is fine but a bit fake, but in a comedy you won't expect something very realistic or else it isn't funny.
Ben Yuen's acting has improved a lot, he is not as wooden as before, he is also became "Kai" in this drama, always helping Evie, in every scene he was in character, and it really deserves a praise.
Jason Chan as a scaredy cat.....Hmmmmmmm....At least his acting has improved, especially in one particular scene :)
Snow Suen as a very funny psychologist. I guess she is fine, but some times i find her saying her lines without any emotion, but overall she is fine.
Gigi Wong as Evie's very mean spirited mother, she was awesome!!! Every time i saw her on screen i wanted to hit her on the face, that represents a very good portrayal of a very mean character!
I think this is Arnold Kwok first drama to be filmed, he was a bit wooden and only used one emotion through the whole drama, but he is still new and has a lot of time to improve!
Two supporting characters i have to mention is Lee Dong Ling played by Kirby Lam and Bo Win played by Lam King Ching, they always snatch the audiences attention in every scene and both of them are very funny and their chemistry is nuts!!!!
There is only one song sung by Miriam Yeung called One of a kind, it is a very good written song, the lyrics really represents how Evie is feeling inside, and Miriam Yeung also sang it with emotion.
Overall, I very good drama that is a awesome watch, and even deserves a rewatch because some parts are better if you watch it in detail.

This review may contain spoilers
NO SPOILERS!!!!Story: The story is very forced and enological and very unrealistic i must say. 1 point for the effort and 0.5 points for the story itself.
Acting/Cast: The cast is superb but not having Raymond and Linda has subtracted a lot of points, the acting is not that great, Louise Lee as worsened LOTS and it seems like she is a bit slow (this maybe caused by her hearing problem), Ha Yu is fine but very annoying, the younger cast isn't that great. For Example, Eliza Sam still has a very strong accent while saying her lines. 4.8 for the last and 0.2 for the acting.
Music: THE THREE SONGS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!
Rewatch Value: Sorry there isn't any rewatch value
