After spending nearly three years in the warehouse, TVB’s Ruse of Engagement <叛逃> is finally getting an air date. Produced by Amy Wong (王心慰), the 25-episode crime drama is slated to premiere on March 17, 2014 in Hong Kong. The series stars Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) and Ron Ng (吳卓羲) as two brothers working for the fictional Anti-Terrorist Force (ATF), inspired by the real-life Counter Terrorism Response Unit of the Hong Kong Police Force. Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) and Yoyo Mung (蒙嘉慧) star as the brothers’ love interests, while Louise Lee (李司棋) portray the brothers’ mother. First introduced at the TVB Sales Presentation in 2010, Ruse of Engagement – then known as the simple working title ATF – entered production in May 2011 with Ka Wai Nam (賈偉南) helming the screenplay. Production for the anticipated drama was completed as early as September 2011, and post-production work – including soundtrack additions – were completed by late 2012, but for unknown reasons, the broadcast date was pushed back by TVB several times. In May 2013, TVB promoted Ruse of Engagement as one of its top 17 productions to look forward to at the 17th HK FILMART. In early January 2014, TVB finally confirmed that Ruse of Engagement will premiere in March of this year. Synopsis With much sweat and tears, widow Tong Shuk Fun (Louise Lee) single-handedly raises her two filial sons Chong Yau Ching (Ruco Chan) and Chong Yau Kit (Ron Ng) and sees them join Hong Kong’s elite police force ATF. The calm and intelligent Ching joins the force’s intelligence unit, while the athletic and passionate Kit joins the operations unit. Both earning the respect of their superior Shum Chi Ngo (Eddie Kwan), Shuk Fun believed that she could finally retire in peace. However, under mysterious circumstances that came from a piece of intelligence, the two brothers suddenly change sides and become enemies. Ching discovers reliable information about a secret organization through journalist Yip Ting (Yoyo Mung), and he almost loses his life investigating it. Unable to reinstate himself back in the team, he convinces his girlfriend Chung Yat Ka (Aimee Chan), an intelligence analyst for ATF, to secretly obtain information from the force’s database to help with his investigation. With details of the case leaking to the opposing organization, Kit believes that his brother is the mole. Ching however focuses his efforts on luring the real mole, abandoning all ethics in the process. [video=youtube;LVTV_R4W1-I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVTV_R4W1-I[/video]
eh.. seems like ruco is gonna be paired up with aimee again? the two do have chemistry (like in outbound love). not really excited about any show by tvb, but ruco is always worth the watch.
Ruco x Aimee couple again. Knowing it's a 3 year old drama, I wonder how will everyone's acting will be.. It does seem like a good show though.
lol really? 3 years old? omg.. ruco's won't be a problem. ron ng never had much emotion/acting and aimee would be downright horrible i guess T_T
looking at this poster again, why does ruco have the same impression as the one on brother's keeper? don't tell me he's going to be a successful cop again but somehow went corrupt (he was forced!) and he becomes a good guy again? sounds familiar somehow oh, just read the synopsis, something i don't do usually, but it does sound a lot like the police version of brother's keeper, without the brother's being lost for a couple of years...
