What's so special:
A time-travel show, going back to the simple and filled with compassion time period of the 1960s, and together with the father in his young days living at Yuen Long, they became close friends/"brothers". This drama illustrates a special type of father-son relationship; warm-hearted and reminiscing the past times; light-hearted and humorous.
Story Outline:
The relationship between the father and son had always been distant. The son felt that the father's set of principles were too outdated. The father always mentioned that he had a strange encounter in his younger days, but the son was certain that it was just his excuse to cover up his failure. During the period when their relationship was the most strained, the father met an accident and went into a coma, with his life hanging on a thread. The son was remorseful, and while feeling lost and helpless, he accidentally traveled back in time - returning to the younger days of his father...
The father and son actually became good friends. In this simple generation-period, the son learned how to get along with others again, and experienced how valuable relationships with his closed ones are. He even witnessed the strange encounter during his father's younger days - which was actually that the father had met up with the son, whom wasn't supposed to be born yet at that time...
