Family feuds, the fate of the nation, romance, and lofty ideals intertwine as the characters grow through twists and turns, amid both laughter and tears. In the end, they join forces to shape the fate of their home and country and stay true to their original ideals, creating a lively, fast-paced, hilarious legend of ancient times as they fight for their dreams and the common people.
