- 25 episodes long.
- The series is a police drama on the surface but is actually a comedy on the inside. Kelly Cheung, Jeannie Chan, and Yuki Law are undercover agents who pretend to be a girl group to get close to their target, Yumi Chung. They are all professionals, but they are not used to being a girl group at all. There will be a lot of funny plotlines, and they will work hard to overcome difficulties. There will also be a girl group song as the theme song.
- The series tells a story of a drug syndicate emerging in Hong Kong. Since the syndicate is related to a wealthy family, the police decides to send three females with their own specialties to get close to the daughter of this family to investigate the case. Yumi takes part in a girl group audition competition, so Kelly, et al. also take part in the competition.
- Mark Ma will play a muscular undercover agent with a great sense of justice. On the surface, he is a playboy, but is very suppressed on the inside. He is good at fighting and also has to ride a motorcycle. He is the boss of the undercover girl group. He leads Kelly, Jeannie, and Yuki on a special mission; he gets teased by Kelly and Jeannie, but he bullies Yuki. He trains them to be outstanding undercover agents, so he constantly treats them harshly, letting them experience everything that he went through when he was an undercover agent. He will get romantically entangled with Kelly and Jeannie. He and Jeannie are considered enemies; they love to use their strength to solve their problems.
- Kelly will play Sam Kai Kei (沈佳琪), a behavioural psychologist who is an expert in microexpressions and behaviour and is good at observing the details of people. As an expert, she helps the police solve cases because she finds solving riddles fun. She is a secret agent, so she can use beauty tactics and wear hot pants and black stockings to show off her long legs. She is funny. She is clever and has a sharp tongue but is also absent-minded and clumsy. She, Jeannie, and Yuki are spies but are in a girl group as a side job because they have to get close to their targets, Eddie Kwan, Maggie Shiu, and Yumi; thus, they use being a girl group to get close to Yumi. She and Jeannie are not good at singing and dancing. She is responsible for being sexy. There is a sailor school uniform. She wears shorts and skirts, as she is very confident and is slightly arrogant. She is very elegant and does not know how to fight; she only knows how to attack with her mouth. She does not have to fight, but she always gets beaten; there are a few scenes where Mark treats her harshly. At first, she is with Hugo Wong, and they have many sweet scenes; later, she has a bit of a romantic storyline with Mark. Yuki is her younger cousin. She is also called 「東九龍第一美臀」.
- Jeannie will play a cop and judo master. Her ultimate attack is a shoulder throw. Her styling is the most conservative; all of her clothes are fall and winter wear. She hides herself and seems invisible. She is not responsible for being funny; rather, she has to have a sturdy side. She is in charge of the action; she is the best fighter in the series. She, Kelly, and Yuki create a lot of laughs while investigating a drug case. She has no romantic storyline, and there are no kiss scenes. She previously worked at a phone repair shop called '32C', so she is also called 「黃金32C」.
- Yuki will play Tung Siu Yu (童小茹), a straightforward and lively cop whose condition is a bit crazy. She is brave and good at fighting. She is a super extrovert, and she hits it off with people right away. Her dream is to become an undercover agent, but she is missing something, so she does things without thinking too much when she is doing missions. When she finds out that the police force is recruiting undercover agents, she immediately sends a résumé. She looks as though she is 17 or 18 years old and is similar in age to Yumi, so she is recruited into the team. She forms an undercover team with Kelly, Jeannie, and Mark. She has many special looks, as she is responsible for cosplaying. She excels at making clothes, so she helps in making the girl group outfits. She likes animation, so she creates a virtual anime character, which is a cat investigator. She has romantic storylines with Felix Ng ans Oscar Tao, but she does not sense that they like her, as she treats them like brothers and friends. There is a love triangle among her, Felix, and Oscar; in the middle, Yumi gets dragged in, becoming a love square. She has a kiss scene. She is also called 「行走嘅資料」, so she has a lot of dialogue.
- Maggie will have a noble appearance. She, Eddie, and Yumi are a wealthy philanthropic family that gets investigated by the police for some reasons. There is a scene where she and Eddie sing.
- Oscar will play Au Hoi (歐凱). He is also called 「海鷗」.
- Felix will play an antagonist. His storyline is rather dark, and many unhappy things happen. It is not until he meets Yuki that his attitude changes.
- Yumi will play Bowie, a well-behaved girl who loves to sing and dance and wants to join a girl group. She is the daughter of Maggie and Eddie; her parents greatly adore her. Yuki is her good friend. The girl group is called 「After Work」.
- Eden Lau will play Yu Tan (余旦). He is also called 「魚蛋」.
- Leo Kwan is a foolish gangster. He would take a bullet and jump off a building for Mark. He is also a crazy fan.
- Jim Tang will play Lung Wai Hong (龍為康).
- Fanny Ip will play Lei (莉).
- Eddie Pang will play 「私煙強」.

Personal Note: Thought that the series would be 20 episodes and was also expecting Jeannie to be the first female lead, as Kelly has only really been the lead for "The Witness"....
