The backdrop setting of this drama reminds me of Luoyang but the mood is entirely different. It is more light hearted with a slant towards a comedy and yet not quite one as there are not enough humour to make it so.

As a whole, the story is interesting as it features a man teleported in time to an ancient time where he pits his wit in a family he is married into as a matrilocal son-in-law. Eventually he is drawn into politics as a group of bandits raids and captures the commercial and strategic centre of the country while he is visiting with his wife and friends. He is pulled in to uncover the real schemer and help save the city and bring peace to the country.

The cast acted well, but overall the production is quite average by today's standards in Chinese dramas. In a number of spot, the video was clumsily and obviously trimmed.

I would be interested to find out what happen to the male lead in modern times as he is shown to have been hit on the head as he confronts his business partner who has sabotaged him.

Although I won't rate it among the top league, it is worth watching if you have time to spare and are looking for something not too heavy.
