Daddy Cool

A sudden storm causes Chung Ting-Kwok, a guerrilla fighter during the Second Sino-Japanese War, to awaken after being frozen for over seventy years. He discovers that he is now in the year 2018. He searches for his family, only to see his descendants behaving badly. His son Ho Woh-Ping is fraudulently on welfare, while his grandson Ho Wing-Nin uses feng shui to deceive people for money, yet Ting-Kwok is unable to correct them. From covering up the truth of murder to getting caught up in a battle for money, Chung Ting-Kwok vows to save his family at any cost.

Directed by Wong Wai-Sum, Daddy Cool leans on a strong ensemble — Carlos Chan Ka-Lok, David Chiang Da-Wei, Wayne Lai Yiu-Cheung — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about sci-fi & fantasy titles of 2018.
