Aiming to grab a slice of the mainland's video market, Hong Kong's Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) has prepared three dramas to be released in the beginning of 2007.
It just so happens that all three dramas are about the struggle of young men to grow up. A lineup of such handsome actors is sure to stir up a storm. And what is the nature of these specific storms?
Firstly, the Brink Law, starring Steven Ma, tells the story of young people working in the law industry, bravely investigating the inside dealings of large companies.
Meanwhile, starring Bosco Wong and Sammul Chan, the Price of Greed details a property battle within a family. "A million people, with a million different greeds and lies." is what we are promised from this drama. The two main protagonists are known as the flower boys of TVB. What no one doubts is that The Price of Greed will draw great female audience figures.
With the arrival of a big festival, it is tradition for comedy dramas to appear. Adding magical elements to humourous ones, Heavenly in?Claw, featuring Joey Leung and Wing Chung, will be sure to attract viewers with its light-hearted, romantic story.
