After news broke out that Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu ended their 8-year relationship, rumors had it that it was due to a third party on Bosco's side. However, it doesn't seem to be affecting his career too much as he is continuing to film dramas in China and also achieved great ratings for "Witness Insecurity." His role of cool and affectionate Hui Sir won the hearts of many audiences. In the finale aired last night Hui Sir unfortunately had a tragic death, causing netizens to explode in criticisms. They criticized that it was far-fetched and unreasonable when wounded Hui Sir was trying to find Kui Chi Lum (Linda Chung) on his motorbike. They complained that this was the worst finale ever and fans requested them to refilm the ending or film a sequel to bring Hui Sir back to life.

Netizens vow not to watch Ghetto Justice 2

Netizens pointed out that because TVB is in a hurry to broadcast Ghetto Justice 2, they cut Witness Insecurity from 28 episodes down to 20 episodes; thus leaving the drama to this choppy ending. Some netizens even went further and vented, "Let us protest by not watching Ghetto Justice 2!"

Producer Lau Ka Ho expressed his satisfaction for the drama for causing such a big response and also for achieving over a 30-point average rating. He admitted that the ending may not be the favorite for some audience, but revealed that he also received alot of congratulatory messages on Weibo.

^ Ohh is that why they broke up? They were one of my favourite celeb couples. D:
However, the ending was a bit... off.

Not the usual happy and cheesy hk drama ending :'( ...If he could go all the way to Linda... should have just gone to the hospital lol

BUT that's not stopping me from watching Ghetto Justice 2!

The ending was very sad.

Reminded me of Raymond's death as Alfred in Heart of Greed.

But that was more depressing to me. I think the ending was very abrupt too. People are saying how if that didn't happen, then linda would never know how much bosco loved her. I beg to differ! The possibilities are endless. Nevertheless, sad sad ending.

Who congratulated him.  The ending was TERRIBLE.  I mean, there are fair shares of bad endings from TVB, but this is the absolute worst.  I mean, if he at least went to a hospital before he went to see her, he would at least have a possibility of surviving then seeing her later.  This was just awful.

TVB series Witness Insecurity averaged 34 points becoming the top rated series of 2012 so far. Yesterday TVB executive chairman Norman Leung hosted a celebration dinner for the cast and crew. Lead actor, Bosco Wong, is currently shooting in Taiwan and therefore was absent, leaving Linda Chung to take the banner by herself. When speaking of Netizens displeased by the ending, and would support TVB shoot an alternative ending, Linda felt the original ending was perfect, but it's a good thing that there are different opinions. It means that the series did well. She expressed she doesn't want to shoot a sequel, but if it really does happen, she hopes its like a Korean drama. The male and female leads have to go through a lot of twist and turns before being together, "Perhaps Bosco can be in a coma and lose his memory when he wakes up, and then I lose my memory as well. Actually I really like the Korean drama elements. If the story is like that, I want to shoot it." She exposes she likes Korean star Ji Sung and he's her dream boyfriend.
