Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
HKTVB's 2008 pivot toward darker male-centric dramas, reflecting post-handover anxiety about institutional corruption and fractured identity. Kevin Cheng's brooding antihero became a template.
The prison release scene was shot at actual former Victoria Prison—Roger Kwok reportedly refused to enter certain cells after a crew member felt 'pushed' by nothing. He denies this; the crew member doesn't.
