Summary: When I first heard about this series, I thought "Oh cool, one of these eh?" I really dislike Vincent Zhao Wen Zhuo who plays the main lead. So, I decided to put off watching this series for a couple of months. One day, I just decided to start watching it because I wanted to give a little bang to my buck lol. I watched the first episode and The comedic parts weren't really my style at first, but it eventually grew on me. This series takes a bit of a sad and slower turn towards the end. Anyways, I continued watching and with every episode I fell more and more in love. Especially with the romance story of Liu Zhang and Ti Ying.


This drama is mainly about Empress Lu Hou, seeking the antidote for everlasting life. She makes General Liu Zhang find this medicine for her so she can be forever young. On his journey, he meets Ti Ying and they both grow very fond of each other. However, Princess Qin Zi, loves him as well. I hate watching bad endings so I didn't want watch the last few episodes for a long time. When I finally caved in, I was simply amazed. I don't want to spoil it so I'll just say that I have never felt so satisfied with an ending like this one! Better than anything I've ever dreamed of. *insert big grin here* If you're looking for a little bit of mythology, mystery, and a nice romance story this series is a must see!

The series follows the romance, family life, and most importantly friendship that these 4 men from different generations experience.

This is a confectionary with a "flavor" not like most. Located in the middle of an ordinary residential area, "Antique" stays open until 2 a.m. Every single thing in the shop is antique, in fact even the sherry glasses that water comes in look like they would cost 50,000 yen. On top of this, all the sweets that are sold are unbelievably delicious. The thing that is most peculiar about "Antique" though is that all 4 of the men that work here are very handsome, and each has an interesting past. Those that frequent the store also have a story to tell.

Summary: Despite what this series may seem at first glance, it is not a series that is just about some detective solving different cases. The series is about love, hatred, revenge, apathy, and greed. There were many plots happening at the same time between each character. So I'll let you watch it and find out. It was definitely a good script. At the end, the main story was to capture A Lap. Tuyet Dinh tried to stop him and killed herself after because she only loved him.
