Wow, its been quite a long time now since I've finished my last drama which was Three Kingdoms RPG which was back in August! Well today I've finished another epic drama. I personally liked this one a lot even though there were many depressing scenes!
This drama features, Raymond Lam, better known as "Happy Sir" ( 韋世樂 ), Michael Miu aka "Gordon" (向榮), Ella Koon aka Sandy (周麗卿), Kate Tsui aka Pat (陳家碧) and Ben Wong aka Brian (潘學禮).
Raymond and were Michael were buddies in the show. In the beginning, Michael was an undercover cop because he was the most experienced and due to his personality, he always put his followers cop and buddies as his top priority which also triggered his divorce with his wife Elaine Ng aka Helen ( 周麗卿). Kate also appeared in the first episode and through the rest of the show as a normal lady, when the cops had to use her place to scan through the window for the first crime case. She has a younger brother who became mentally challenged due to their father in the past forcing their mother to take drugs which messed up the baby that was soon to be her little brother before he was born.
Raymond and Kate would start to develop their relationships throughout the show as the Narcotics Bureau Crew would start to use her to help them with cases by planting her to the boss of gang leaders who are involved in drug selling occupations. This soon to be a problem because she couldn't earn enough to help her brother and soon she became involved drug dealing as well which caused her downfall later on.
Quite early in the show, Ella joined the Raymond's team as the newest member. A very hard working and tough police girl who would eventually fall for Raymond as the show progresses. Eventually would rival Kate in a love triangle, even though Kate has pretty much gotten over Raymond because of live differences. Though I personally like Ella and Raymond together anyways!
The most important which also happen to last throughout the whole show was Michael's group, especially with his three very close followers, Derek Kwok, Alex Lam and Law Lok Lam. The whole problem began during one of their actions when Law Lok Lam shot down a gang member and took the money with him because he needed money to heal his sick wife. Very unfortunately somebody was recording it who eventually was known as "Agent" which threatened Michael's group by forcing him to cooperate with him or else he will spread the evidence to the world which would sentence them to long term prison for being a Black Cops.
This eventually would trigger the suspicions of the police force themselves as people especially Raymond started wondering how Michael's group was able to catch somebody and how the criminals were able to escape freely. Eventually this also triggers Brian being suspicious too. In episode 25, Derek Kok, one of the four members in Michael's group committed suicide after he killed Agent himself to try wipe the whole evidence. Very unfortunately, the evidence was found when Brian deserted the Narcotics Bureau group because one of the cases involving Pat, when Raymond, Ella and Michael suspected Brian for being involved in the crime case. He found the burial of Agent and found the Sim Card which contains the evidence of Law Lok Lam of taking the money from the criminal. Brian believed this could be his revenge.
Eventually Brian would take up Agent's role and became a criminal himself and became involved in selling cocaine internationally. He would also threaten the Michael's group to work for him. The biggest project Brian would be involved was selling 13 Billions worth of Cocaine. The goods were confiscated by the cops and the criminals were desperate to get it back. 13 billions obviously isn't a small amount of money. Brian would use Michael for this. He would first set up the room where waters would be drifting down from the ceilings which would force the cops to take the cocaine out because they don't want the goods to melt. And then have the criminals strike on the cops at the police station and reclaim the goods. Many cops were injured and had to be taken to the hospital, including Ella who took a shot at the trapezius when she defended against Raymond.
By the last episode, Kate would somehow find her way to the hidden car storage area where the ambulance was kept that the criminal drove to get their goods back. Brian would catch her and kept her strapped inside where he planted explosives there to bomb all the other criminals whom he cooperated with, just to find keep all the goods for himself. This was also his final attempt to destroy Michael and Raymond together at once.
He would invite Michael to meet him there and force him to press the switch which would trigger the explosive. Raymond would know that Kate is inside and warned Michael about it. However Brian would press the switch just so Raymond would believe Michael did it because he was holding it. Luckily for Kate, she escaped before the car was exploded. The final confrontation was between Michael, Raymond and Brian when all the secrets were spilled out. Raymond already shot Michael once which wounded him but he would accidentally shot him a second time when somebody fire a shot. Kate would appear with a shot gun but Brian would shoot her which eventually would trigger her death in the hospital when she gave birth to a son.
Soon all the police came and Brian had to escape. When you wonder how the cops were able to find out their meeting location, it was because when Raymond and Ella was in the hospital, Raymond had to leave after answering a phone call so Ella was suspicious and contact the NB group to track the location of Raymond.
Brian escaped with a truck but was pursued by Raymond and Ella. Ella was the one driving and soon when Brian had nowhere to drive so he hid himself behind a tree. Just as when Raymond and Ella was about to leave, Ella found the truck suspicious with all the waters dripping. Raymond tasted the water and figured out it was cocaine. Yes, cocaine can be regenerated from water. As a result, he and Ella shot down as many cocaine bottles as much before the cops came to confiscate everything. This would leave Brian with nothing left.
When he was fleeing from Hong Kong in a boat, the leader of the Colombia gang leader who Brian thought he had killed during the explosion was still alive and strapped himself with explosions only to explode himself and take Brian with him! Other scenes in the end involved the worshipping of Michael's death. As well, the remaining two members of his group turned themselves in as Black Cops which they were sentenced to prison without a doubt. In the end, the show did not specify who Raymond ended up with, but its safe to say Ella was his wife!
This show I think was actually one of the best shows to watch. It teaches the viewers that drugs is not something we should even consider about approaching. It will just ruin one's life and in many cases it showed in this drama. So many epic scenes in this show and many depressing ones too! If anything, I hope in the future they will have a second series of this show! But for now its time to move on!
