Synopsis
Due to a heartrending vow, YUEN KAM-CHEONG (Bobby Au Yeung), an Inspector of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, has mistakenly killed his girlfriend YEUNG TSIK-SUET (Esther Kwan). Being so grief-stricken, KAM-CHEONG has an out-of-body experience, travelling back in time to the Song Dynasty. Having attached his soul to BAO ZHENG (Bobby Au Yeung), the magistrate of Song’s capital Kaifeng, he is shocked to see HON SEUNG-SEUNG (Esther Kwan), who looks just like TSIK-SUET, right in front of his eyes. According to BAO ZHENG’s investigation, SEUNG-SEUNG was actually a princess, but was instead framed by a villain, KO KAI-ON (Ben Wong). Shedding his tears, BAO ZHENG is forced to execute SEUNG-SEUNG, triggering his soul to once again float out of his body to the 1950s, when he becomes an all-powerful inspector WAH LUNG-BIU (Bobby Au Yeung).
As predestined, he believes he will re-encounter TSIK-SUET, yet TIN TSAU-FUNG (Esther Kwan), who is standing in front of him, does not recall him at all. On the contrary, she thinks he is the one who killed her husband. In order to change his fate, LUNG-BIU continuously verifies the truth. Unexpectedly, he learns that a dancer, LAM YIM-FONG (Rebecca Zhu) and her boyfriend YUEN KWAI (Pierre Ngo), are his biological parents. Moreover, TIN TSAU-FUNG’s younger sister TIN TSAU-NGAN (Mandy Wong) turns out to be manipulating the whole plot. Tragedy recurs when LUNG-BIU accidentally kills TSAU-FUNG again. With KAM-CHEONG’s soul returning to the modern era, he is determined to ferret out the one who has cast the spell on him in the cycle of reincarnation so as to protect TSIK-SUET as well as to escape from the curse. However, to his surprise, it is him initiating all these tragedies……

I think the storyline sounds kinda bizzare (and could potentially get lame..lol). Going through 4 different lives reminds me of “Maiden’s Vow” except this one retains the same memories and Bobby is aware of his surroundings.
It’s kind of exciting to see Bobby and Esther collaborate again. I’m still undecided whether I’ll watch it though so I may jsut wait to hear some feedback from everyone else..
The cast is pretty interesting too. And I agree about how it’s great to see Bobby and Esther back on screen again 😀
So far the first 3 episodes were okay. I like the radio talk in the beginning of the first episode haha it was funny and fresh. I wonder if those voices were Sammy Leung and Kitty Yuen because their voices does sound familiar to me :\ Any thoughts?
Yes they’re Sammy and Kitty! Thought that the radio talk done by them was kinda fitting because they’re the ‘golden couple’ of the DJ scene? Hahahaha.
I am also crossing my fingers, hoping that this series can give some surprises. Felt extremely touched to see Bobby and Esther on-screen again, but am worried that the plot will get out of hand :X Just finished 4 episodes, so far so good…
(sidenote: I thought JJ Jia did a good job in epi 4!)
hmm so far I watched 12 episodes of this drama, I got kind of bored watching the Song Dynasty period but I’m glad episode 13 is when Bobby finally goes to the 1950’s period. I hope it gets more interesting now we can see more Pierre, Mandy and Rebecca scenes!
I like Bobby as an actor. He’s funny and cool! I hope he and Esther can end up together happily but I doubt it might or else the show won’t really be about how Bobby was “destined” to kill Esther or for Esther to sacrifice herself for Bobby in 3 different time periods.
I think JJ Jia was okay. Too bad she only has a few scenes in this series though.
Ooh, I saw Esther’s in this and was very surprised. I didn’t know she and Bobby are still with TVB mmm. I want to like this drama but I feel like if I watch it I’m just gonna get bored… the premise sounds not very appealing… reincarnation over and over… I mean I liked Maiden’s Vow (except the ending if I remember correctly) but I can’t see this being… exceptional. Maybe I’ll skim through it when I’m bored lol.
This drama is good for time filler. I like Esther Kwan’s acting in it though. The casts is good but the plot is weak.
I love esther’s acting. not to sound mean but somehow she seems a lil old for her hon seung seung character. the outfit didn’t quite match her, but still love her chemistry with bobby 😀 their chemistry is amazing!
I had the same thought as you. Can see Esther’s wrinkles.
The phrase ‘c yul q k’ which Ben Wong says in ep12 at 13mins 27 secs isn’t that something that wouldn’t have been said during that time… another flaw?
I am really starting to like this series a lot more than TITS2. I wonder how will they end this series? It’s so interesting to see how the whole story plot connects. I can’t wait for the finale! Thoughts?
Just finished the ending today!!
This is probably one of the best dramas I have ever seen in a while. A great comeback for Bobby and Esther 😀 I hope there will be a sequel for this drama, well done!
