Overview: translation by Em
One is the "Supreme Ruler" Yong Zheng and one is the bold and honourable Lui Sei Leung.... what will they be like when they reach twenty-first century Hong Kong?
The story starts in the times of Emperor Yong Zheng (Kwong Wah) when the Han maiden Lui Sei Leung has the sole intention of overthrowing the Qing and reinstating the Ming and is forever plotting to murder the Emperor. One day, her chance arrives, but an unexpected storm causes them to be pulled two hundred years into the future and Hong Kong.
After many coincidences and twists of fate, Zheng stays in Hong Kong as the identity of Lee Dai Ha; whereas skilful fighter Leung is picked up by a martial arts troupe, the two seem to go their separate ways, but by chance, Leung is employed by Shum Siu Hong (Paul Chun) as a bodyguard and Ha finds his way into the company as a junior worker and the two meet again.
Normally powerful and of a high position, Zheng knows all about strategy and power and easily leads Hong's son Shum Yat Lai (Gilbert Lam) to build up his career success. Unfortunately, after getting to know him and realising his unethical ways, he changes his support to Hong's daughter Shum Yat Ngoi (Melissa Ng), causing a stir with Hong and gaining his trust, at the same time Ngoi is captivated by Ha's talent amd Hong decides to bring them together. Lai sees that things are not going to plan and pretends to get close to Leung to find out more information, but she rejects him. Lai plots to bring down Ha, even taking things to the death....

It's a good and funny one. The actual emperor was about 50+ years old before his death. So he is not as young as Kong Wah.

Yah, he have acted the same role before as emperor yung ching in the atv series with the title of the secret battle of the majestic.
I have watched this series 2 times. Once rented and once on the cable TV. This is a good show. Kong Wah is good, i like the way he walked - really looked like an emperor. In this series, he uses a lot of his experience being an emperor to tackle modern business environment. I think there is something to do the Sun Tzu Art of War. I like the way he can analyse situations and plan the solution. Great.
But there are a few funny things, like Sei Leung do not have an identity can survive in the modern world for so long without people noticing. And its kinda fast for Kong Wah to get used to the modern world. KInd of not realistic. But what the heck, its TV - anything can happen.

The serie was great. I recorded it so I watch it a few times already but the ending suck as hell so they totally ruin it. The director/playwright really mess up on that.

I thought this was really funny, especially at the beginning when the King just traveled to the present, and had that weird hair. hahahaaaa.
I also thought He and Melissa matched more, but o well.

I like this drama as well, one of the best last year. The most funniest scene I can remember was that Maggie agreed to be Paul Chun's personal bodyguard, she walk into his house on her first day of work with the Street Fighters 'ChunLi' style. Maggie's two hair-buns tied on each side of her head plus her mainland clothing almost made me laughed till I fall down from my chair!!
Another hilarious scene is when Maggie ascort Paul into a lift. As she was afriad of taking lift, she sang a very mainland-feel chinese song to calm her nerves. Paul standing besides her was so shocked to see her behaving so weirdly... it's have been quite awhile to see Maggie to act such funny performance since Old Time Buddies.

'
Anyway I think Kong Wah & Melissa are also doing pretty well in this drama.
hahhaa.. this was funny! lol.. especially when maggie was scared of the elevator

I've watched this series last year and it's one of my favourite series, I must say. I love Kong Wa!! He did a great job as this emperor, but sometimes he exegerate a little when he was walking. Actually I wanted him to stay whith Melissa, but later... Maggie is well... good too. This series is really very funny, so funny when Dai Ha (Yong Zheng) and Lui Sei Leung were together and the rest of the cast were also very good. Of courese Paul Chun was great as always.
I recommend this series!!

Everything about this serie was great except the stupid endding. The screenwriter must have used us all his/her brain juice for the plot otherwise why else would they come up with such a bad ending. Kwang Wai was great through the entire serie except the ending. It totally ruin the greatness of the serie. I'm surprise that there are ppl who didn't like the serie at all. Charlie_Cat seem to be one of those ppl.
It all started well until when it gets to the loving part where rachel and maggie fighting for kong wah
Ah ! That part was boring !

It isn't a pathetic series!!! I really like the beginning when Kwong Wa & Maggie come to the present world instead of the King periode. They don't know anything about this new world. Very funny occasions!! Like he's going in bath with a toilet stick.

But the ending is boring. Yeah, I commit that. They can do it better.

I like this show, especially Kwong Wa as the emperor. i love the way he sit, he walk and.......the way he runs. hardly sees an emperor runs tho..I think he was the best actor as an emporer.

Yes I agree with you... At the beginning of story when he travelled from the ancient time to the modern time he was very funny especially his movement

The way Kong Wah walked made me laughed all the time.
Best part is definetly the bit when the two time travelled to the future, and how they had to learn how to use modern equipment.

My favorite scene would have to be when it was Maggie first day working as a bodyguard for that guy. When she came to his house dressing like really funny. And also the part when the boss was in the car and it started driving, she was going with it outside protecting it. That was so hilarious to me. I started cracking up tremendously.

one thing i didnt like was that the king learned the "new" things so fast, it was like that he was a person from that year, that maggie did was more trustworthy. like aznrok said when she dressed up in old clothes and run outside the car so protect the boss.

I like this series except its ending. Ironically, KW is used to play as Yongzheng in the secret battle of the majesty. Maybe this is the reason why TVB casted him as the leading actor here

I really like Melissa Ng and it seems like she has a pretty big part since she's on the poster with the same size as Maggie. But who does Kong Wa end up with? Her or Maggie? I have a feeling it's Maggie.

Ngu123,
What do you mean? Kwong wah did play the king role in this series. So, of course, he had to act as the king!
