- On the path of life, some people choose to go through it in a hurry; although the peak is reached successfully, nothing has been gained. Some people choose to live in the present, carefully paying attention to the beautiful things around them; although they go through it slowly, they gain a great deal. Myolie Wu's eyes are blind, while Moses Chan is blind toward life; the series will use these two contrasting characters to bring out the 'slow movement' attitude toward life.
- Moses will play a creative director at an advertising company. Three years ago, because he created a series of successful ads, he was promoted to an administrative level. He used to be very passionate toward life and know how to make people happy; however, as he became busier with work, he no longer knows how to laugh or live his life, even forgetting his interest in running, which he has had since he was young. Afterward, because something happens in the company, he resigns. His boss lets him go on a holiday to re-consider, so he begins his 108-day holiday. He returns to his old home, where he encounters his blind neighbour, Myolie; the two begin to become a part of each other's lives. One day, he sees a coach practicing running with a group of blind people, and discovers their sense of brightness, making him regain his interest in running. He and Myolie experience a lot, which greatly changes his outlook on life. The storyline is warm and inspiring; he and Myolie have a warm relationship, and there are no passionate scenes, so there will be no kiss scenes. Initially, he is afraid of dogs. Myolie likes to listen to Korean dramas, thereby liking the Korean star Kim Hyun Joong (金賢重), while he has the same name and surname as the Korean star.
- Myolie will play Sung Tin Chung (宋天從). She is already blind at the beginning of the series, but there will be flashbacks to depict how she gets through the initial dark times. Three years ago, because of a car accident, she became blind, and her parents also died in the accident. She has a clear heart, which allows her to travel around the world. Every day, she relies on a white cane and a guide dog to show her the way. She has a live-in boyfriend (played by Cheung Wing Hong) who accompanies her and acts as her leader, but they later break up, and she finds a new job. Moses is a neighbour who just moved in; he also acts as her new leader, accompanying her and her guide dog to her new company every day to let the guide dog become familiar with the way so that it is able to take her to work. The two slowly develop feelings. Afterward, something happens in the company, which changes her perspective on love. The guide dog has ten-plus episodes of scenes with her.
- Evergreen Mak will play the boss of a noodle stall. His scenes mainly revolve around his family and the noodle stall.
- Elaine Yiu will play Yuen Yuen (阮婉), a Senior Designer who works at the same advertising company as Moses. She and Moses have a mentor and mentee relationship. She admires Moses, but they have many differences in terms of their work. She likes Moses; she wants to love but cannot.
- Cheung Wing Hong will play Myolie's live-in boyfriend, but they later break up.
- Meini Cheung will play Evergreen's younger sister.
- Cilla Kung will play Ho Na (何娜), an assistant who is always following and silently supporting Owen Cheung. She has scenes with Myolie. She will have a romantic storyline with Owen.
- Lily Ho will play Myolie's guide runner.
- Snow Suen will play Emma Lo Wai Ping (勞慧萍), a copywriter.
- Owen will play Kam Sau Yuen (金秀玄), a superstar. At first, he was not looked upon favourably, with only Cilla backing him up.
- Suet Nei will play Moses' loving mother.
- Jess Sum and Cheung Wing Hong are a couple.
- Christy Chan will play a star who frequently bullies Cilla.
- Tony Hung will play Hung Man Ho (洪民浩), a popular Korean star.

Kenneth Ma Wears a Wig: Greatly Resembles Donald Cheung?

J2 Clip

01

'Hot Property' Kenneth Ma appeared in Tseung Kwan O TVB City to film a smoking cessation programme. He, who is the smoking cessation ambassador, appeared in a brown wig, immediately being teased by the reporters for resembling singer Donald Cheung.

Kenneth, who does not smoke, said that he would try to persuade his friends to quit smoking: "Tell them to smoke less. Smoking is not economical and is harmful to health". When choosing a girlfriend, would there be a deduction if she were a smoker? He immediately said that a non-smoker is one of his requirements in a girlfriend: "There would be a deduction because my entire family does not smoke. A non-smoker is one of the requirements. If she quits, it is also okay. (Had a girlfriend who smokes before?) No!"

In addition, he revealed that he is currently rushing to film a series, and would also have partnering scenes with 'sister-in-law' Niki Chow: "Filming a new series in April. Collaborating for the first time with Niki...looking forward to working with a pretty girl. (She is [your] sister-in-law.) Just filming a series. It doesn't matter even if it were [my] sister-in-law!"


Personal Note: Can't stop laughing at Ma Ming's wig...it has such a nostalgic feel! :P

The 'sister-in-law' reference is so odd.... o_O

Kenneth Ma Waiting for the Weather to Warm Up Before Kissing Tavia Yeung

TVBE Clip

Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, and Cilla Kung were working on the new series "The Beauty of Bureaucracy". With regard to having an underwater kiss scene with Tavia that was announced in advance earlier, Kenneth hopes that the weather would warm up a bit before filming, and also said that he has been busy with set filming followed by outside filming; thus, he has not been able to make extra income or play soccer.

Regarding Myolie Wu's prank of posting a picture of her hugging a guy on the web, and then getting blasted by netizens in the end, Kenneth did not know about the matter: "Should be a joke...no serious harm is done. Actually, don't have to take it so seriously. Johnson Lee is the 'King of Practical Jokes'! However, I would also respect the netizens. As for myself, it doesn't really matter!"

Tavia had an additional vein on her forehead. She laughingly said, "Because the character talks about me getting greatly aggravated from experiencing some matters. Also, have to fight this time. Haven't fought for a while. Luckily, don't have to go on wires. Okay after warming up!"

"Ruse of Engagement" Sub Song MV


"Close Call" - Ron Ng & Ruco Chan

千鈞一髮 《叛逃》 片尾曲 - 吳卓羲/陳展鵬

作曲/編曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 鄭櫻綸
監製: 鄧智偉

陳:惶惑與回憶 怎鬥爭未停
沉著痛還醒 寂寥時細聽
背負這罪過慣著掩飾演戲 這暗黑秘密怎說清

吳:沉澱與痕跡 心裡倘未明
藏著似無聲 但察覺有事情
我就看著你一心演的好戲
情節極迷離 如墮入混亂是非

*合:投下謊話怎抹消總有灰燼
對叛徒不可再信 揭露事實承受重
存在恐懼心跳越覺翻湧 千鈞一髮裡用你命運來賭

吳:維護這場景 給倒轉實情
容下了抨擊 若無人接應
背負這罪咎總得裝點高興 等你的告密可算清

陳:沉澱與痕跡 心裡倘未明
藏著似無聲 但察覺有事情
我就看著你一心演的好戲
情節極迷離 如墮入混亂是非

Repeat *

Personal Note: The song is slower than expected.
