TVB Drama Preview: The Other Truth 真相 (27/6/11 onwards)

TVB Drama Preview
The Other Truth (27th June 2011)
This drama will air in Hong Kong from 9:30pm to 10:30pm, Monday to Friday on TVB.


Synopsis (taken from wikipedia.org)

Does every verdict reveal the truth? Watch the court room drama unfold as a group of very individual attorneys are brought together in complex legal proceedings and each lawyer reveals their own story.
Barrister Keith Lau's (Ruco Chan) ambition knows no limits. He will do everything he can in order to win a case, even if it means putting himself at risk.
His good friend Wallace Cheuk (Raymond Wong) runs a law firm. Although Wallace is a qualified barrister, he has no court experience, until Mavis Hong (Tavia Yeung) joins his firm. Thereafter, Wallace's debut meets with loud acclaim.
Their good friend James Wai (Louis Yuen) is a down-on-his-luck lawyer who is financially dependent on his mother: but when a thorny case comes his way, it looks as if his luck has finally changed...


*This is Tavia's first time playing a lawyer and she feels very excited to wear real lawyer's gown.
*This is Ruco Chan first big role in TVB dramas.
*There's also a lot of good actors in this drama such as Louise Lee,Kenneth Ma and etc.

This drama looks like it will be a more serious Law drama.

For those of you TVB fans, stay tune for this latest TVB drama tonight!
