Joking Apart (谈笑分生 第一季) (1991)

Well congratulations you've found a pure gem of a show, a little two dark and close to home for some people but this Bittersweet tale of a relationship gone wrong is simply excellent and thoroughly compelling. Using the Stand up introduction that was later popularised by Seinfeld the show manages to draw you into the life of the main characters flawlessly and is at times truly touching.
A must see Highly recommended
