Hero in Black (Wo Lai Ye)
nakataohana11 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This was a humorous series with a Robin Hood-like character with a different twist at the end.

Synopsis: As an officer in a battle, Song Dou witnesses the arrogance and self centered attitudes of the top officials towards their underlings. After the war, as a lowly constable, he resolves to right wrongs. As "Wo Lai Ye", a masked figure in black, he punishes the corrupt, rescues the innocent and redistributes the wealth that he has taken from the rich among the poor. The magistrate and his allies need to keep thinking of different ways in which to capture him as he eludes them. As the masked hero, he rescues Liu Fei Yan, a forthright, outspoken, shrewd young female restaurant entrepreneur.

Song Dou falls in love with Liu Fei Yan, but she only loves "Wo Lai Ye", holding his real self in contempt. His adopted young son keeps their accounts, making sure that everyone who needs help receives it, has to remind him of more practical matters. Feng Pobo, a rich and powerful righteous official from the Capital, visits their city and falls in love with Liu Fei Yan. A conspiracy within the Imperial Family is uncovered as the plot unravels....

Worth watching with subtitles

There are many ingredients to an excellent show, good writing, actors with talent who go all out, smooth transitions in action, plot, and character relationships. This show has all of this done with in an authentic scenery backdrop for the time period. This is a comedy. It is based on the problems/awkwardness of love while hiding your secret identity. There are some leaps needed to fully enjoy this show: Magic type flying, running over tall buildings and in trees, crazy fight scenes, and tongue in cheek often sarcastic humor. There is lots going on and that is where my wife and I got great pleasure in watching it whenever it was on. 10 STARS!
