Three late-Ming Dynasty officials - Yuen Sung Woon, Joh Gwong Dau and Lee Jun Chung - accidentally travel forward four hundred years to modern-day Foshan. They meet Fong Wai Chi, who is searching for a hidden master chef. When they see a female celebrity on television who looks like the missing crown princess Kwok Sin, Fong Wai Chi deceives them by saying she can arrange for them to meet her in Hong Kong. Desperate to save the princess, the three officials sign employment contracts and become waiters and a chef at Fong Wai Chi's restaurant. It turns out that Fong Wai Chi wants to use Lee Jun Chung's superior cooking skills to save the restaurant's declining reputation. The three officials, using new names, join the restaurant and it quickly becomes famous as a "handsome men" restaurant. Other food corporations launch a money war. Luckily, Fong Wai Chi is able to survive it with the help of Yuen Sung Woon. The two eventually develop a indescribable relationship. Meanwhile, as Joh Gwong Dau continues to investigate the identity of Kwok Sin, he discovers her secret and also learns about everyone's fate from history books. When the time to return to the Ming Dynasty comes, it is hard to choose... Edit Translation

Reviews
funny and engaging
I went into this show with pretty low expectations, but it was one of the funniest I watched last year. The comedic over-acting was so well done it made me laugh instead of cringe. I liked all the actors, the settings, and the overall vibe.The plot is a bit wishy-washy; it comes and goes in importance, but always comes back around to at least loosely tie together. Intrigue comes into it later and things get more complicated in ways that may not always make total sense, but are guaranteed to be funny.
Just shelve a little bit of your brain to watch and this is a 10/10 comedy for sure.
