- To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return, TVB will produce two series about the return in 2022, one of which is a five-episode series with five independent stories (each episode is an hour-long episode), and the other is the 15-episode series 《回歸》. 《曙光》 is one of the five stories, and it is also the prequel to "Return".
- 《回歸》 and 《曙光》 are a continuation story about how a family in two different places and has been separated for 25 years, having gone through major and minor difficulties and many ups and downs in these years, goes from separation to the return to communion and develops their future together. The story of a family of four links the 25 years of experiences of Hong Kong's return, evoking various collective memories of Hong Kong people.
- Originally, there were plans to go to Mainland for location filming but has unfortunately been affected by the pandemic. Now, filming will mainly be in Hong Kong. Lam Chi Wah hopes that they are able to go to Mainland to film some scenes, and he also hopes that the series can be completed in time for July 1st, before the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return, as it would be best to accommodate the release with the anniversary date.
- The story starts 25 years ago and tells the story of the loving married couple Roger Kwok and Alice Chan getting impacted by the financial turmoil, which leads to conflicts in their relationship, and it ends in divorce. After the separation, the two live their own lives and have their own opportunities. Alice establishes a successful food and beverage kingdom in Mainland, while Roger stays in Hong Kong, running the old-fashioned restaurant 「粵德居」 with his employees. Twenty-five years later, Alice wants to open a restaurant branch in Hong Kong; unfortunately, the restaurant's trademark clashes with her ex-husband's store, so the two meet again in a lawsuit over the fight for the 「粵德居」 trademark.
- Roger will play Au Yiu Cho (區耀祖), the chef and owner of a small restaurant. He insists on cooking every dish himself. Alice develops their restaurant into a robot kitchen restaurant. He is tough on the outside but gentle on the inside. He has an extremely down-to-earth personality. He and Alice are a divorced couple that has experienced the vicissitudes of life; they separate after having their two sons, Ricco Ng and Chow Ka Lok. Alice takes their eldest son, Ricco, to Mainland, and has turned the 「粵德居」 brand into an enterprise, but she also wants to go back to develop in Hong Kong, so she has to fight him for the trademark. Later, they reconcile in a metaverse perspective through technology. He has particularly more crying scenes; the latter part of his performance basically requires him to cry unrestrainedly.
- Alice will play Tang Lai Kuen (鄧麗娟), the chairperson of the 「粵德居」 enterprise in Mainland. She and her husband, Roger, have already been separated for over 20 years; he has a 「粵德居」 restaurant in Hong Kong and has been taking care of their youngest son, Chow Ka Lok, while their eldest son, Ricco, followed her to Mainland. During this time, there was not much contact. She returns to get the 「粵德居」 trademark back, so she and Roger go to court.
- Matthew Ho and Hera Chan will play the younger versions of Roger's and Alice's characters respectively; they are also the leads of the story 《曙光》.
- Participants in the Greater Bay Area's entrepreneurship competition include Ricco's team (Joey Thye, Lai Siu Yip, Steven Suen, and Chow Pak Yan) and their rivals, Chow La Kok's team (Kayan Yau, Felix Lam, Erica Chan, and Niklas Lam).
- Ricco will play Au Ka Him (區家謙), the eldest son of Roger and Alice. He and Chow Ka Lok are brothers, but their relationship is not good; the two's vastly different growth environments cause great conflicts between the brothers. He lives with his mom in Mainland, and he returns from abroad. He is a youth whose life has been smooth thus far. He has his own start-up company. He is one of the mentors in the entrepreneurship competition.
- Chow Ka Lok will play Au Ka Kin (區家健), the youngest son of Roger and Alice. He lives in Hong Kong with his father, and has a relaxed and lively personality. He has a small computer store, but he has thoughts of expanding the company, so he takes part in an entrepreneurship competition. He and Ricco are brothers; they do not see each other all the time, so there is a barrier and a bit of discord between the two. Their participation in the Greater Bay Area's youth entrepreneurship competition leads to a lot of conflicts; during the competition, their brotherly relationship develops. He, Felix, and Niklas are good gaming buddies.
- Joey Thye will play Cheung Loi (張萊), a programmer. She is rather independent amd strives for self-improvement. She is good at and audacious in everything. She is a bit feisty. She is a reserved character. She is a hot-blooded youth with dreams; she hopes to do something with her strengths, leading her team members in heading toward this goal. She is a career woman. The entrepreneurial story has peers as its main focus. Her scenes are mainly with Chow Ka Lok; she can deride him, as she sees him as her competitor, and she has to attack him. She does not have a romantic storyline.
- Kayan will play On Yeuk Tung (安若彤), a vagrant girl. She and Ricco are a pair. In the beginning, she is a flight attendant, but she gets fired, so Ricco tells her to work for him, developing true feelings from having more contact with one another. Her romantic storyline resembles a pure love; she and Ricco are only on nodding terms, occasionally encountering one another at work. Later, she discovers her strengths and takes part in an entrepreneurship competition as a part of Chow Ka Lok's team.
- Niklas will play Chan Chi Ban (陳智斌). He, Chow Ka Lok, and Felix always game together at the computer store, and they end up in a gaming competition.
- Felix will play Kwan Tung Hoi (關東海), who leans toward being a homebody. He is rather arrogant, and his arrogance frequently causes troubles. He follows Chow Ka Lok.
- Erica Chan will play Ling Hau Yiu (凌巧瑤), the adopted daughter of Roger and Alice. Chow Ka Lok and Ricco are like her elder brothers. She is clever and lively and always plays pranks on her elder brothers.
