This drama takes place in Tong Sai during the 1930s, an era of corruption and human trafficking. Kam Wah (Louis Cheung) is a corrupted officer from the start who takes bribes and collects tributes from commoners. But he begins to change when he meets righteous cop Sum Yat Yin (Matt Yeung) and gets embroiled in the investigation of human trafficking. As he finds his conscience, he gets closer to and develops a crush on Leung Sam (Tavia Yeung) who has taken a vow of celibacy yet fell in love with Yat Yin. Leung Sam and her childhood friend Fa Ying Yuet (Rosina Lam) were both victims of child trafficking who became separated from their family but each went down a different path. Ultimately, the four joins together to counter the mastermind behind the human trafficking organization.
My Rating:
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 9/10 stars
This is one of the best, if not the only watchable, drama produced by TVB this year. From the beginning to end, the drama did not lose focus; it started strong and it ended stronger. Besides the story, the cast did a splendid job and this may be because of how some characters were written. This drama is more of a breakthrough for Louis Cheung, Rosina Lin, and Matt Yeung. Tavia Yeung once again plays a gentle and soft-spoken character but she does extremely well that you can't dislike her goody-two-shoes character.
Definitely a must-watch! Not an idol drama and the ending was well-written though it's not the typical happy ending you would expect.
(-1) Tavia's character represents the goodness in humanity
but I still dislike such vaselike characters.
I personally like Rosina's character more.
