Marry Mummy in Daddy's Shoes

Program Overview

'Happy wedding day? Not necessarily!' Cheng Gui-xian, raised in a single-parent home, has a volatile relationship with his temperamental mother. Following an accident, he travels back in time to his father's era, coinciding with his parents' wedding. Attempting to intervene, he tries to take his father's place, only to discover that even the smallest actions in the past can trigger catastrophic and hilarious reversals in reality. As he attempts to 'correct' the past, reality spirals further out of control.
