Chai was punished to become the stupid and shabby son, of an earthly man. Huen, on the other hand, was his handsome and clever brother, who was loved by all. One day, Chai regained his magic power and started to challenge Huen. Their relationship worsened as they both fell in love with Nui.

some info:
The Legend Of Master Chai is the only TV drama in which Joey Leung Wing Chung takes up the male lead. In more than a decade's time in showbiz, Joey Leung has made a name for himself as a funny and humorous program host, especially when he teams up with his best friend Hacken Lee. Minutes to Fame, a very popular talent show in 2005 may serve as one good example. Apart from The Legend Of Master Chai, fans has seen him in supporting roles in only a few TV dramas, such as the famous Defective Investigation File series and Master Of Martial Arts. Though not a big production, The Legend Of Master Chai features a funny and lively story. The actors and actresses' excellent performances have greatly contributed to its success, leaving a good impression in viewers' memories when it was broadcast in 1997.

Joey Leung's acting skill is often underrated. His natural and lively performance in The Legend Of Master Chai actually proves his talents. He forms a cute couple with Noel Leung and their outfits suit each other perfectly. Well-known for her charming costume look, Noel Leung once again shows her charisma in ancient costume and delivers outstanding performance. Ho Po Sang, who forms a love triangle with the couple in this series, has actually disappeared in showbiz for some time. Rumor has it that he has become a monk. Fans can only watch his old TV series again to reminisce the brilliant performance of this handsome actor.
