TVB's Ghetto Justice is one of the first new series I've embarked on this holidays. I'm currently up to episode 4 and it is pretty satisfactory.
Initially, I wasn't too keen on watching the series but after searching on the net and finding some favorable response, I decided to give it a try. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me. I would definitely recommended it up to this point, especially to those who have a thing for legal/crime dramas.
I will be posting more in depth details and some of my thoughts per episode as soon as I'm done with the episodes I have at hand.
In case you guys don't know much about the drama, here's the synopsis:
Law Lik-ah (Kevin Cheng) used to practice law for personal fame and glory but after setting up a Legal Advice Centre with his cousin George Mai (Alex Lam) and his good friend Tin Ka-fu (Sam Lee) in Sham Shui Po, Lik-ah changes his mind and realizes that legal representation is not only a privilege of the rich.
Soon, Lik-ah becomes the Peoples’ Hero of Sham Shui Po, helping grassroots groups fight against injustice with unconventional tactics.
On the other hand, barrister Wong Si-fu (Myolie Wu), who used to admire Lik-ah for his invincible performances, starts to disdain him for downgrading to a ghetto lawyer. However, after a few court cases with him, the two start to appreciate each other and fall in love.
Besides succeeding in her relationship, Si-fu tries to become an elite practitioner in town. In order to gain advancement, she seizes every chance to get close to the renowned barrister Cheung Pak-kei (Shek Sau). As Pak-kei enjoys getting people into trouble, he makes sure Si-fu is accidentally embroiled in a lawsuit.
In order to save Si-fu, Lik-ah has no choice but to challenge the law.
