YesAsia Editorial Description
From File of Justice to Legal Entanglement, TVB has found quite a bit of success with legal dramas, and one of the most memorable recent entries in the genre has to be the 2003 series Survivor's Law. Featuring four up-and-coming stars in the leading roles, Survivor's Law turned into a surprisingly big hit, confirming the rise of TVB's next generation. Raymond Lam, Sammul Chan, Myolie Wu, and Bernice Liu star as rookie lawyers of very different backgrounds and personalities who end up at the same law firm, battling out challenging court cases together. The entertaining drama's great supporting cast includes veterans Hui Siu Hung, Liu Kai Chi, Felix Lok, and Helen Tam; other young stars like Sharon Chan, Chris Lai, Kenneth Ma, and singer Juno Mak in his one TVB drama; and movie actress Ruby Wong in a rare television appearance. Survivor's Law returned for a second season in 2007 with a slightly different cast.
With his casual dress, unconventional work methods, and laidback attitude, Lok Bun (Raymond Lam) doesn't exactly fit into the usual image of a lawyer, but he has a warm heart and a head full of unexpected ideas. The polar opposite of Lok Bun, Ching Ling (Myolie Wu) is extremely serious and thorough about her work, but sometimes lets emotions affect her judgment. A rising star in the field, the ambitious and strong-minded Wai Ming (Sammul Chan) becomes colleagues with Lok Bun and Ching Ling because he wants to escape the restrictions and hierarchy of a big firm. Completing the team is timid Si Ga (Bernice Liu) who puts love before work. The four young lawyers go through the trials and triumphs of practicing law together, but their friendship is put to the test by romantic conflicts, career ambitions, and cases that hit too close to home.

By chance, they encounter and become friends by working together at one with its apparently dreadful reputation.
While the four feel unwilling entangled in their love and affairs, ROBIN finds out that RAYMOND’s father is the mastermind behind a case he is handling. From friends to foes, they turn their backs on each other……and feel wonder the ‘Hard Rock Team’ still be there tomorrow?

Winning Verdict for Rookie Lawyer Drama
|
TVB generally fares well in ratings and quality when it comes to modern dramas revolving around professional fields like law, medicine, and forensics, so in retrospect it's not surprising that Survivor's Law, a work-meets-romance series about young ambitious lawyers, became a hit when it aired in Hong Kong in summer 2003. Headlined by a new-generation cast of TVB's future A-list, Survivor's Law was one of the first post-2000 dramas to rely completely on young actors to carry the show, and even more importantly, one of the first to prove that young actors could carry a drama to high ratings. Survivor's Law came during a crucial turning point period when TVB was pushing its new class to the forefront. 2003 was also the year the station pitched Find the Light and Triumph in the Skies, not to mention the youth idol dramas Aqua Heroes and Hearts of Fencing. After 2003, most of TVB's tapped proteges like Ron Ng, Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, Bernice Liu, Sammul Chan, and Tavia Yeung transitioned into leading role status, joining the trend that began with Michelle Yip and Raymond Lam. TVB context aside though, the reason Survivor's Law succeeded is simple enough. Though the cast is green, the premise of headstrong lawyers of different personalities crossing professional and romantic paths in the courtroom and afterhours is tried-and-true genre fodder well tested in previous hits like Legal Entanglement and the classic File of Justice series. Survivor's Law just lowers the average age of its protagonists, banking wisely on safe storylines that never grow old and an attractive and likable cast with good chemistry. Though they're now seen in every other TVB drama, Survivor's Law's combination of young actors really felt fresh at the time. Returning to a modern drama after Eternal Happiness and Lofty Water Verdant Bows, Raymond Lam fits perfectly the role of an easygoing, quick-witted, and casually attired roguish lawyer dedicated to helping the poor and weak. His character feels like a slightly more mature, but equally lovable version of his role in A Taste of Love. Myolie Wu, who had impressed in a string of major supporting roles, also finally gets to grow up and play a career woman, complete with a short hairstyle. Wu's acting has always been on the side of overemoting, but that works well in Survivor's Law for her turn as a prickly but warm-hearted lawyer who acts on her emotions. Bernice Liu, in her first real drama after Virtues of Harmony, takes on a softer role quite different from her previous memorable image as a spoiled princess. Though she leaves less of an impression than the other three main leads, she is also the one who has most clearly grown and improved (if only because her Chinese has improved). Sammul Chan gives something of a breakout performance as a polished, confident, and well-spoken ace whose greatest flaw is his own ambition. Though the focus is on the young, the older cast members are also quite memorable, particularly Ruby Wong who sheds her serious shell for a rare and thoroughly entertaining comedic performance as a proud and brassy attorney locked in endless love-hate feuding with the always-wonderful Felix Lok. Just Survivor's Law's mix of distinctive personalities clashing and bonding over court cases is interesting and amusing enough to make the series worth watching. Throw in some romantic triangles, crime suspense, and family and friendship drama to seal the package, and you get 25 episodes of solid entertainment from four of TVB's hottest young stars. |

Awesome Storyline with Fantastic Casts
Awesome Storyline with Fantastic Casts
| This is one of the series that started me watching TVB series again... Ever since I've left HK; there was never a desire for me to watch Chinese shows... not sure why but as I've gotten older... I took on the interest of renting Chinese series and completely fell in-love with this one. To be honest.. I've already re-watched this several times and now that it is available for purchase... of course I’ve bought it, just received it in the mail ^.^ Great casts and awesome storyline. Myolie, Bernice, Raymond and Sammul were fantastic; if you like those artists and you have not already watch this, it is a must buy. If you have already seen it and is a fan of any of the casts… you must know what I mean. Thumbs up!! |
