According to an issue of TVB's 2010 sales presentation packet, the pre-production script version of "Reunion" is a story regarding a family's greed, and involves the theme of kinship.
| “ | The sudden passing of the patriarch of the Yung family changed the whole family. Wanting full control over the entire family business, the Yung family's eldest son and his wife frames the mother for having an extra-marital affair. The grandfather, whom has been down with Alzheimer's disease, has always been holding a prejudice view towards the mother, and forces her, the second daughter, the third daughter, and the fourth son out of the house. Through many struggles, the mother manages to open up a small dessert shop. Upon seeing the small shop thriving in business, the eldest son sues the mother for copyright infringement. Before the trial, the mother dies from a car accident. The family burden is left for the second daughter to handle.
The fourth son is not biologically related to the Yung family. Often accused for being an illegitimate child, he often griefs for his unfortunate background. In truth, it is the third daughter who is illegitimate. Feeling as if she has earned nothing, the third daughter begins to collaborate with the eldest son to harm the second daughter, also snatching away her boyfriend. Despite all the hardships and struggles, the second daughter still faces these difficulties with a regular mindset, using her love and patience to understand and forgive. She knows that as long as one's not calculative, all knots can be untied. Even a broken family can have a reunion. | ” |
Pre-production and character casting began September 2009.[1] Roger Kwok and Derek Kok were casted first; upon hearing this, Ron Ng explained that he turned down two mainland Chinese drama offers in order to fit his schedule to film "Reunion" with Kwok.[2] Myolie Wu was also reported to have been part of the project, but later dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.[3]
A costume fitting and press conference for the drama was held on 12 January 2010,[4] and filming began the following week. A blessing ceremony was held on 9 March 2010.[5] Filming ended 22 April 2010, taking a full four months to complete.
