- 'The Fixer' is 'a person who secretly solve problems'; he or she travels between black and white, solving the problems that the two cannot solve. Chin Ka Lok, Timmy Hung, Mandy Wong, Tracy Chu, and Henry Lo are 'fixers' who work together. They do many illegal things, but go back on the right path in the end. The story is similar to a typical case-solving direction. They collaborate with the black and the white. The series will design detailed scenes, which are solved in the following episode.
- Chin Ka Lok will play Szeto Sam Ping (司徒心平), a crisis expert who solves problems. He, Benjamin Yuen, and Tracy are siblings (from the same mother but different fathers). After he returns home, he has a lot of friction with his younger brother; however, after getting along with his mother, who has dementia, he realizes that he has lost a lot in the family. He has a phrase in the series: 「屋企係最唔講道理嘅地方, 但屋企是最講親情的」.
- Mandy will play Lui Lui (雷蕾), a cool and decisive legal consultant. She has a big secret, which is the fact that she killed someone before, but no one knows about it; at the time, Chin Ka Lok rescued her, so the two work together, even developing a relationship. She previously killed someone and had a drug addiction. Afterward, Chin Ka Lok takes a bullet for her, later falling in love with him. She and Chin Ka Lok are a couple. She and Chin Ka Lok do not have intimate scenes, but there is a scene where they bathe together.
- Benjamin will play Mak Hang Chik (麥行直), a righteous Sergeant of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB). He has a rather unsociable personality and does not have many friends. He is a family-oriented little man. For his mother, he looks for his stepbrother, whom he despises the most because Chin Ka Lok caused the two fathers' deaths. He is Rebecca Zhu's subordinate.
- Tracy will play Mak Ping On (麥平安), a computer hacker who has returned to Hong Kong from overseas. She likes stepbrother Chin Ka Lok, but does not like biological brother Benjamin because he frequently lectures and disciplines this rebellious younger sister. She frequently gets into trouble, needing her two elder brothers to clean up for her. She does not appear until the tenth episode. Since she was young, she was already very bad, so her mother (played by Gigi Wong) sent her to the US, but she ended up learning to become a hacker. She and Timmy met in Las Vegas, and ended up having a one-night stand after getting drunk, even getting a registration of marriage. She only finds out that she has suddenly become someone's wife after waking up from her drunkenness. She sees Timmy's unrestrained gambling at a casino, mistaking him for being a wealthy guy, so she decides to return to Hong Kong to look for him to get a divorce. After returning to Hong Kong, she finds out that Timmy is her eldest brother's right-hand man. The two do not get along with each other; however, in then end, at the most dangerous time, they discover that they are actually very matching. She frequently bullies Timmy. She and Timmy are a bickering pair.
- Timmy will play Chan Tai Man (陳大文).
- Rebecca will play Chiu Tan Ching (趙丹青), a rookie detective. She is an Inspector of Police of the OCTB. She is a new migrant. She is competent, and has a rather direct and competitive personality. She and Mandy are at daggers drawn. She likes Benjamin, but does not dare to reveal her true feelings. She pursues Benjamin.
- Gigi will play Szeto Yan Yan (司徒恩恩), who has dementia. She has forgotten cop son Benjamin, only remembering 'bad son' Chin Ka Lok, who ran away from home ten-plus years ago.
- Snow Suen will play Kei Kei (祈琪), who is extremely tough and considerate.
- Lulu Kai will play Man Ka Ning (文家寧), a member of the OCTB.
- Daniel Chau will play Ng Do Kwok (吳多幗).
- Henry will play Bak Sun (白純).

Personal Note: Mandy does not have the leading lady look...her outfit didn't help either. Morning Zhu looked more like the main....

Was expecting Tracy to look more like Penelope Garcia when she described her role earlier.... :P

He he.... Gigi Jeh and Chin Ka Lok playing mother and son for the third time! :P

  1. It is nice seeing new people as leads. I agree that Rebecca has "leading lady look", I have thought that ever since I saw her at the pageant in 2011. I'm looking forward to this series.

  2. I think Mandy's height is her disadvantage. But to say that she does not have the leading lady aura. I don't think so. She can hold her own. As for Rebecca, she's pretty to look at but somehow am not fond of her acting. Anyway, am glad new faces are getting their chance to lead rather than the usual Tavia, Kate, Linda.

    1. To Jo:

      Height is not necessarily the case for Mandy. Selena and Eliza are both shorter than Mandy, but they have more of the leading lady look than she does.
