富貴門 (Born Rich)
Born Rich (Traditional Chinese: 富貴門) is an upcoming 2009 TVB television drama produced and created by Chong Wai Kin. Loosely based on a certain Hong Kong business typhoon, Born Rich is promoted as TVB’s “grand production” – it largely features an ensemble cast and will have a total of 41 episodes, with each episode lasting a total of 45 minutes.
Sophisticated banker Cheuk Yat-yuen (Ray Lui) mistakes con artist Sha Fu-loi (Gallen Lo) for his half brother Cheuk Yat-ming, fortuitously elevating the swindler to one of the leading figures in the banking industry. The lost and found brotherhood has blinded Yuen to Fu-loi’s real nature and intentions.
Yuen is kidnapped overseas by a group of rioters. He undergoes a dramatic personality change after the incident. Yuen’s wife Ho Tseuk-nin (Jamie Chik) has tried her best to console him but still cannot help him get over the unpleasant experience. Longing for more comfort and support, Yuen gets back with his ex-lover Tung Ling-chi (Kenix Kwok). Nin is heartbroken to learn about the affair and it has left the broken mirror that can’t be mended.
The identity of Cheuk Yat-ming gives Fu-loi not only a sense of family warmth but also a sweet taste of romance. He finds himself in love with Yuen’s little sister Cheuk Yat-sam (Anita Yuen). Sam is attracted to Fu-loi too but thinking that they are true biological siblings, she decides to keep her love under wraps and stays with her long-term admirer Ko Tok-man (Joe Ma) instead. This comes as a huge blow to Fu-loi. He is not willing to lose his love, but neither can he reveal his real identity. Caught up in the dilemma between love and money, Fu-loi finally chooses the fortune road of no return.
It is all about a tough battle for money, a devious triangle of love, and a severe challenge to ethics.
