Synopsis

Louis Cheung appears to be a cop who can easily betray his own dignity and accept bribes. While investigating a human trafficking case, he meets Tavia Yeung, a woman who has taken a vow of celibacy. Tavia and her friend, Lin Xia Wei, had been kidnapped when they were young, thus, they hate human traffickers. They equally hate corrupt public servants, with the exception of Louis's colleague, Matt Yeung, whose upright and honest character catches Tavia's eye and she even falls in love with him. Louis and Matt are initially polar opposites, but after Louis's acceptance of a bribe causes the death of a witness, it starts to touch his conscience. However, at the time, the police and the underworld each had their own unbreakable, unwritten laws. Matt is demoted amidst the power struggle of businessman Lau Kong and detective Timothy Cheng. It puts his relationship with Tavia to the test. Seeing all of this, Louis's heart aches, but all he can do is stay silently by Tavia's side and secretly hope that he can make up for his past mistakes...

Matt Yeung on working with Tavia Yeung once again after The W Files

 

In TVB new series Momentary Lapse of Reason (收規華), artiste Matt Yeung (楊明) who plays the role of a cop Sam Yat-Yin, has quite a heavy amount of scenes. Besides being the foil to Louis Cheung's (張繼聰) character, he also has a romantic storyline with Tavia Yeung (楊怡). Speaking of knowing Tavia for many years due to TVB training class and this time being a continuation to their collaboration from The W Files (衛斯理) years ago, Matt expressed that the two still had chemistry: "It has been many years that we haven't worked together, but when we saw each again during our first scene, the chemistry returned; moreover, her acting is really good so she led me into character. (Any intimate scenes?) There is kissing on the cheek! But it's not as awkward since many years ago, I've already referred to her as my older sister, only students from the training class can develop this type of mutual understanding."

I like the series a lot and truth be told, as a long-time Tavia Yeung fan, I'm very impressed with Louis' Gum Wah and Rosina Lam's Ying Yuet.
