Beyond the Realm of Conscience

Written by Rachel


Cast: Charmaine Sheh, Tavia Yeung, Moses Chan, Kevin Cheng, Michelle Yim, Susanna Kwan, Susan Tse, Selena Li, Mary Hon
Length: 30 episodes
Genre: Costume Drama
Producer: Mui Siu Ching
Scriptwriters: Kar Wai Nam & Choi Ting Ting

Synopsis:

Imperial Household Bureau is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tong Dynasty. It is comprised of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire, Food and Furnishings. Lau Sam Ho (Charmaine Sheh) and Yiu Kam Ling (Tavia Yeung) are introduced into the bureau in their tender age and brought up in the disciplines of the palace. The two girls are diligent. Yuen Tsui Wan (Susanna Kwan), Head of the Jewels, and Chung Suet Ha (Michelle Yim), Head of the Attire, are both very fond of Ho for she is a kind-hearted young girl. Soon, they start fighting for the fellowship of Ho.

Ho always remembers her mother’s words left to her before she passed away, that she was told, ‘Doing good deeds, Speaking good words, Showing goodwill’. She lives her life of being gracious and kind-hearted in the palace. On the other hand, Ling believes her survival in the palace is achieved through cruel and calculating tactics. She cheats and schemes her way to the top and finally becomes the concubine. Though she realizes that Ho has fallen in love with the chess master Ko Hin Yeung (Kevin Cheng), her jealousy still arouses by Ho’s attraction to the Emperor Lee Yi (Moses Chan). Fearing that she is losing power, she ruthlessly makes up a false allegation against Ho for murdering the Empress (Mary Hon) and condemns her to death. No matter how clever she is to scheme, things do not go the way she planned. By using a strong comparison of the two distinctive characters, Ho and Ling, the message of the drama is that “benevolence” is the only way to gain final victory.

Born Rich

Written by TkN

Cast: Ray Lui, Gallen Lo, Joe Ma, Anita Yuen, Kenix Kwok, Jamie Chik, Nancy Sit, Benz Hui
Length: 41 episodes
Genre: Modern Drama
Producer: Chong Wai Kin
Scriptwriter: Au Koon Ying

Synopsis:

Sophisticated banker Cheuk Yat Yuen (Ray Lui) mistakes con artist Sa Fu Loi (Gallen Lo) for his half brother Cheuk Yat Ming, fortuitously elevating the swindler to one of the leading figures in the banking industry. The lost and found brotherhood has blinded Yuen to Fu’s real nature and intentions.

Yuen is kidnapped overseas by a group of rioters. He undergoes a dramatic personality change after the incident. Yuen’s wife Ho Tseuk Nin (Jamie Chik) has tried her best to console him but still cannot help him get over the unpleasant experience. Longing for more comfort and support, Yuen gets back with his ex-lover Tung Ling Chi (Kenix Kwok). Nin is heartbroken to learn about the affair and it has left the broken mirror that can’t be mended.

The identity of Cheuk Yat Ming gives Fu not only a sense of family warmth but also a sweet taste of romance. He finds himself in love with Yuen’s little sister Cheuk Yat Sum (Anita Yuen). Sum is attracted to Fu too but thinking that they are true biological siblings, she decides to keep her love under wraps and stays with her long-term admirer Ko Tok Man (Joe Ma) instead. This comes as a huge blow to Fu. He is not willing to lose his love, but neither can he reveal his real identity. Caught up in the dilemma between love and money, Fu finally chooses the fortune road of no return.

It is all about a tough battle for money, a devious triangle of love, and a severe challenge to ethics.
