This is a great comedy drama! Worth rewatching!
I watched this when it came it first came out but never wrote a review about it as I was busy at the time, but as I have recently watched it again I can safely say this is one great comedy drama that is worth rewatching!I usually don’t like watching martial art period dramas, but this one is obviously a parody of those kinds of dramas and somehow manages to make it hilarious in the process. For you to really enjoy it, you’d need to understand all the meta references it throws at you, and laugh at the old spins on modern technology such as paper scrolling lyrics on their take of a karaoke machine. There are also so many great Cantonese puns that you would miss out on if you do not understand the language. Whoever came up with 首振鎮個鎮守 was a genius, I always smile whenever it gets mentioned. This drama just kept throwing them at you that it was a non-stop laugh fest when you’re watching it and you get it.
This is also one of the rare dramas where I did not dislike anybody in it. Even Jeannie Chan, who was awful in The Beauty of War, was pretty funny and likeable as the aggressive and amnesiac Princess, who was constantly shouting at her fiancé, Kalok Chow. By far the best part of the drama was watching the 3 amigos Kalok Chow, Brian Chu and Jonathan Cheung interacting and just being really stupid. I liked them all individually with Kalok’s weak body but fast talking style, Brian’s terrible aptitude for martial arts that causes him to develop a mental condition, and Jonathan as the really stupid but massively hilarious idiot of the three who spouts some real nonsense. When the three of them are onscreen at the same time, you can guarantee there would be some pure TV comedy gold.
What are you waiting for? Go watch it! Hopefully the sequel/prequel comes out for it soon because I am hyped!
