Synopsis: The series revolves around a fictional Hong Kong senior counsel named Tony Chaing Man-To (Adam Cheng). Senior Counsel Tony is well known for winning 31 legal cases in a row, but is also notorious in legal circles for his unsavory (but ethical nonetheless) tactics. He is also notorious for being retained as counsel by unscrupulous businessman Richard Ngai Sing-Kwan (Bill Chan). His focus on his legal career has also alienated family member and anyone romantically involved. His daughter, Stephanie Chiang Si-Ting (Leila Tong), particularly hates him for not only his modus operand in legal battles (strike a victory on procedural errors, and not on evidence).
All this changed when Tony was dealt a career blow by Richard. In an assault case involving Richard, Richard asked Tony's apprentice, Darren Li Kong-Tak (Power Chan), to conspire in a conspiracy to bribe a witness and have him lie in court by professing amnesia. When Tony protested, Richard fired Chiang, and cut off much of the businesses that came to Tony's law firm. In the process, Tony lost his girlfriend, Sophie So Yeuk-Fei (Anne Heung), to Richard. Tony drowned his sorrows in alcohol, and assaulted a foreigner at a bar. Chiang pled guilty to assault, and was sentenced to community service. That was where he began to rediscover the lost idealism and righteousness of his youth and met Chong Hiu-Wai (Louisa So) whom showed him there is more to life...
Review: Loved the series. The cases in the series were entertaining. Although I thought Adam was a tad exaggerated with his acting this time, I still enjoyed his performance.
