Synopsis:
Breaking through layers upon layers
Unearthing a corporation's many layers of dark secrets!
The court prosecutes Tong Chi Ko (Steven Ma Chun Wai) for slander. After reforming his life, he joins a fashion corporation as a legal advisor. He becomes good friends with Tung Yat Jun (Ron Ng Cheuk Hei), the nephew of corporation head Tung Jin Lung (Ngok Wah). Ko encounters his first love, Tsui Wing (Bernice Liu Bik Yi), but discovers that her relationship with Lung is atypical. Lung's wife, Kam Chi (Michelle Mai Suet), accidentally learns Jun's life-changing secret and swears to set him into a deathtrap!
This time, Ko suspects that the fashion company isn't simply engaged within the bounds of its business, but is furthermore involved with an international off-track betting activity. However, the truth of the matter causes people to be confused. Actually, who is the real person behind the scenes pulling strings?
My thoughts: At this point, seriously, I don't need to say how highly I regard this series nor how long I've anticipated and waited to watch this... you guys already know. However, I will say it again. The cast is the best I've seen in a while [Producer Mui always picks the very best and makes the most attractive and vibrant cast], it has a top-notch producer, and the series looks and feels like a "hit." The plot sounds so fascinating - surely a lot of twists and turns as promised! I think it will be very exciting, interesting, and engaging to watch Brink. It has so much potential and promise. Hopefully the actual script is as riveting and unpredictable as the synopsis claims it will be. I am very confident that this series will be awesome. I am so happy that TVB is opening 2007 with this series. I think it is just what TVB needs to get moving and end their current anticlimactic season.

Finally a Series 411 which I thoroughly enjoyed writing and enthusiastically looked forward to doing. :) I suffered through so many tedious series translations for the past half-a-year. :P Hopefully this is an ndication that 2007 will be more substance and less filler.

Yeah..Brink of Law seems to have it all...action, drama, and suspense...love this kind of genre the most!
I agree with everything you said except it has one of the best casting in a while lol...seriously, aside from Steven Ma and Michelle Yim and Shirley Yeung to an extent...there's nuthing to wow over.

i'm definitely looking forward for this one. but from the trailer, Ron's acting still looks very bad.

Reading your "serie 411" of this serie makes me want to watch right now.
I hope this will be as good as we are expected...not like Land of Wealth.
Happy New Year to you, Metal! :)

jollee - Thanks. :) Although VOH is probably more approriate for Chinese New Year, I wanted to go for a "dreams come true" layout this month since it is the first one of 2007. I am hoping that all my wishes and hopes and realized this year. It is an optimistic way to open the year and bring good luck to my sites.
fairytale-promise - You can see the entire set of pictures here. There are some Shirley pics for you. ;)

I just finish watching this series. I think it's really good. Eventhough the ending is a bit rushed, they still manage to tie up all the loose ends.
The last episodes has many heartbreaking and touching scenes. Eventhough my 2 favourite characters has a bad end (and I'm still sad about it), I still think this is a well done ending because they left no strings untied. Furthermore, although it has many death, the series still ends in a positive note.
If u haven't seen it. Give a try. It's worth watching.

i think the series would have been better if the director didn't decide to kill off two characters in the beginning. it's also unrealistic in some parts. like how the cop that died rescued the kid so fast from the kidnappers.

This show kinda bored me it wasnt very good there was to many plot changes and some of the charaters annoyed me alot its a good series and all but i think it had to much plot change and they tried a bit to hard the acting on most of the charaters were good not like award worthy but i was good
