Translated Synopsis by me:

5 years ago, the Gazerwarrior and the Aromawoman were the legend of the time. The Gazerwarrior was a handsome and charismatic guy that will always appear when there are bad guys. He has defeated even the powerful Big Four. The Aromawoman is said to be a beauty. She is commonly seen helping women who are being bullied by men. During that period of time, every woman who is getting married will definitely have a portrait of the Aromawoman as her dowry. The many fans of the two heroes demanded a PK to decide who is the better one but on the day of the compeitition, the two heroes meet and fall in love with each other. Since then, they have decided to get married and leave the title of 'hero' behind.

Now, living the life of a commoner in a small town, the hero couple attempts to bring children into their lives. Unfortunately, with age catching up with them, they are unable to do so and seeks help from people, who eventually suggests them to find excitement and add some spice into their lives.

The excitement comes when a grand martial arts competition is set to be held in the small town and the Gazerwarrior is tasked to be the organizer

The Aromawoman is afraid that the martial arts competition would disrupt their peaceful life but the Gazerwarrior is very excited and happy about it. A young woman amongst all the martial arts practitioner shows liking for the Gazerwarrior and the latter seems to have found a 'new love'.

However, the martial arts competition has turned out to be a evil plot and the marriage between the hero couple is unstable. What will happen eventually?

Here is the trailer of this movie:

This movie is one of the best Chinese New Year Movies that i have watched. It gives the audience a warmth feeling as we see how the couple goes through thick and thin together and despite all the obstacles, they stand together strongly and are willing to even die together at the critical moment.

The movie revolves around how a calm and peaceful life is all that is needed for a couple who are truly in love with each other, no matter young or old. It also portrays how housewife are not as bad as what it seems like in the current society; Housewives are seen as domesticated and have 'no life' but in this movie, it really brings out the fact that housewives can be a really fulfilling role when you do it for your loved ones.

I think Sandra Ng and Louis Koo did a really great job in this show. Their versatility can be seen as we see them outshining their roles with their expressions. Aromawoman is being portray as a innocent and weak woman in the inner-self (one who needs to be loved and is willing to give up everything for it) and a strong-willed one on the outer. Sandra Ng has fully brought this out as with her sweetness in the scenes where she prepare meals and her strong side when she does everything to protect her husband.

Overall, i think this show is really good as it has a moral behind the whole movie until the general Chinese New Year Movies where the whole plot tends to revolve around the mood and not the storyline. Many of those movies are created just for the sake of it and at many times, make the audience go "so that is it?" Yet, Mr and Mrs Incredible is different with its moral and theme of happiness and bliss is an entire whole new story.

I will rate this movie 4 stars and it is a definite must watch.
