Years on ... Lui To is now a police officer, he meets Lam Ping (Kate Tsui), who is suffering from depression because her boyfriend, Tsui Fung (Sammul Chan) went missing.
Lui To imediately feels sorry for Lam Ping as he knows how it feels to lose a close friend/family member suddenly. So he decides to help Lam Ping find Tsui Fung, they dig up a lot of information and sooner or later, Tsui Fung re-appears ...
5 Reasons to Watch -1) The twisting and turning plot will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last minute of the series, it's very gripping.
2) The male cast. If you're a Bosco Wong fan it's a definite watch. His character just has a charisma that draws you to him. He's very convincing in the series. Sammul Chan does an equally good job, if not, better! He's the villian of the series and he really deserves an award for his efforts, Sammul has always been talented.
3) The female cast. I know, a lot of opinion is being placed on Kate Tsui and whether or not she'll be able to live up to the series' complication and her split character. But she doesn't do a bad job. I quite liked her here, she has improved immensely since "La Femme Desperado". Her character is soft and her determination is really likable. Shirley Yeung gets credit for learning to violin and sign language to especially film this series, she's really in to her work. Other wise it's pretty average acting from dear Shirley.
4) The con artist's tricks are revealed. It's like an insight in to the trade! Amazing ^_^ ... This could come handy some day .... ;) !
5) It maybe a ware house produced series, but TVB's ware house series have been a hit lately (Under the Canopy of Love). What have you got to lose ?
