- There is location filming in Taiwan.
- The story starts from Chow Ka Lok's and Ricco Ng's characters. These two youngsters are originally ordinary people who never knew that martial arts existed in this world. Later, by mistake, Chow Ka Lok discovers that Lisa Tse, whom he likes, is from the martial arts world. In order to pursue her, he becomes her disciple. Because of an accident, Ricco gets 50 years of martial arts skills from an outsider and becomes a marial arts master. Thus, the two enter the marial arts world.
- In this fictional martial arts world, the incomparable masters will also hide their identities, becoming ordinary people from all walks of life. However, when bad people who know martial arts appear, they will join forces and have a sense of justice and be willing to help others.
- Some characters were inspired by characters from martial arts novels.
- The series will have a lot of fighting scenes, but the centre of the story is not about the birth of incomparable masters, but about propagating a chivalrous spirit. When Chow Ka Lok and Ricco enter this world, the most important thing is not learning martial arts, but learning the spirit of chivalry, knowing what martial ethics and persistence are, and putting them into daily life so that young people know that, if there are things that need to be insisted on, they need to keep at it.
- Ben Wong will play Kwok Seung Mo (武), a teahouse owner. He is a martial arts master who hides under the identity of a tea leaves merchant. He considered the best or second best fighter in the series. He mainly uses his fists and legs, even using a heavenly dragon sword at the end. He is an advocate of suppressing the strong and aiding the weak and warning people to refrain from doing evil and punishing the wicked, and he has a sense of justice. He and Samantha Ko are a former couple; he has been in love with her for many years and wants to get back together. He is a person with principles. When Samantha forces him to do something and he is unwilling to do so, she would prank him and makes things difficult for him. There is a scene where he runs around naked, wearing only his underwear. He is also called 「郭大俠」; he is somewhat similar to Guo Jing.
- Samantha will play Sin Tan Tan (單單單), a hidden master who is a beautician on the surface. She uses her magic hands to do facials for her clients, excelling at a beauty restoration move; however, she is actually a martial arts master who is good at wielding small dual knives. She has many action scenes. She fights more in the latter part. She practically only has scenes with Joman Chiang and Chow Ka Lok. She has fight scenes with Ben, Joman, and Hugo Wong. She does not have much of a romantic storyline. She and Ben are exes; she has love and hate for him, and the two even have a fight scene. There is a man in her heart, but they are not together. She is Chow Ka Lok's aunt (i.e., his mother's younger sister); she treats him like as son. She is also called 「Single姐」.
- Chow Ka Lok will play Nip Fei Wan (聶飛雲), a taxi driver who is skilled in wielding 18 kinds of weapons, learning how to use a sword, dual knives, and a stick. His character starts from the bottom; he goes from not knowing how to fight at all to slowly learning martial arts. He will have scenes that show off his figure. He has a one-sided love for Lisa; he passionately pursues her. He is Samantha's sororal nephew.
- Ricco will play Wong Hei Chi (王羲之), a traffic warden who is also a hidden master. He is good at using his fists. He gets enlightened from a certain incident, becoming a person who knows how to fight. He clashes a lot with Chow Ka Lok because he always gives him tickets; they are a bickering pair. He has a romantic storyline with Kaman Kong; she makes him grow. He and Kayan Yau are not a couple, but their relationship will cause the audience to misunderstand.
- Lisa will play a martial arts master who wields a sword. She is already a good fighter at the beginning. She has the most scenes with Chow Ka Lok because she has a lot of things that she has to teach him. Chow Ka Lok will pursue her, but she does not have much of a feeling toward him.
- Kaman will play Chor Siu Fu (左小虎), who uses her palm, as she does the Baguazhang. She, Kayan, and Aurora Li are good besties.
- Judy Kwong will play a fighter girl who wields a stick. She is taught a kirin stick technique by her master, Sunny Dai. She has four fight scenes.
- Kayan will play the hidden master among hidden masters, but she does not know that she is a master. She returned from a foreign place. She is already very incredible without having to move. She does not have many fight scenes.
- Timothy Cheng will play Mo (毛).
- Stephanie Che will play Ricco's mother.
- Felix Ng will play a popular prostitute.
- Eric Tang will play a martial arts master. He has long hair and a pair of sunglasses, and he is hiding at another place. He has the most scenes with Ben, and they are mostly fighting each other; they are a master and an apprentice who have fallen out. He is an antagonist.
- Joman will play a crazy woman. She uses a butcher's knife. She is Samantha's junior. She has more scenes with Samantha and Chow Ka Lok.
- Mikako Leung will play Michael Wai's wife.
- Clementine Sze will play Yu Mung (余夢).
- Jack Hui will guest-star.

Personal Note: Seems to be in the same vein as the producer's previous works, "Death by Zero" and "Treasure of Destiny"....
Surprised that Lisa is the second female lead.
