Two heroes emerged in the final years of the Qin dynasty. They are Lau Bong and Hung Yu. Both of them were initially close friends, but later became rivals in a power struggle for supremacy over China historically known as the Chu–Han Contention. Hon Sun meets Cheung Leung by coincidence and they strike up a friendship. Hon Sun remains on Hung Yu's side while Cheung Leung decides to serve Lau Bong. Not long later, Hon Sun leaves Hung Yu and is introduced to Lau Bong by Siu Ho. Hon Sun and Cheung Leung work together to help Lau Bong achieve his dream of ruling China. Yuk Dip-yee is a former imperial spy who was sent to assassinate Hung Yu. However, she falls in love with Hung Yu and is unable to bring herself to kill him. Later, a beauty called Consort Yu appears and becomes the subject of a love rivalry between Hung Yu and Lau Bong. Hung Yu eventually wins Consort Yu's heart. In anger, Lau Bong marries Lui Chi, intending to use her father to help him deal with Hung Yu. This marks the beginning of the war between Lau Bong and Hung Yu. (Source: Wikipedia) Edit Translation

I remember when I first watched this series as a kid, I was pretty annoyed by the ending. This is because I liked the character of Hung Yu. For once good didn't really trump evil. So I brood over it for weeks. I've only recently re-watched this series with adult eyes and after studying some of the history during the warring period between the Chu and Han Kingdoms. This is where the story line bugged me for a bit. It was very loosely based on the Chu and Han war and the events leading up to that. The drama could have been so much more epic if they chose to follow the historical events more closely. The cast was pretty good after all. Instead you have the first 10 episodes of the character of Lau Bong, essentially stuffing around and speaking in a real slow voice (dumb sounding). This was really boring. Barbara Yung came and left in a quick cameo role. She did die around this time so I always wonder if she was slated for a bigger role than she played. Idy Chan who played Consort Yu popped in around episode 9 and you have another 10 episodes of a boring love triangle. The drama wasn't really exciting until 20 episodes in... That's a long time to wait... In the end, the soundtrack and the costumes were about the only thing I loved about this series.
