Although yet to be confirmed by TVB, it appears that former Cable TV host Ali Lee (李佳芯) will be the female lead in the station’s upcoming drama Legal Strongman <律政強人>, a dark legal drama starring Alex Fong Chung-sun (方中信) and Liu Kai-chi (廖啟智). Produced by Marco Law (羅永賢), the series will begin principal photography this December. A teaser trailer for Legal Strongman was first shown at the 2016 TVB Sales Presentation on November 10. In the trailer, Alex Fong plays a morally-conflicting lawyer who stops at nothing to fight for justice, while Liu Kai-chi depicts a defense attorney who is willing to do anything to win a case, even to the point of destroying evidence and murder. Ali Lee portrays Alex’s pupil, who strongly believes that her duty as a lawyer is to fight for what’s true and right. Also seen in the trailer is Mandy Wong (黃智雯), who portrays another lawyer; Raymond Cho (曹永廉), portraying Liu Kai-chi’s pupil; and 2012 Miss Chinese International winner Kelly Cheung (張曦雯), who will be making her serial drama debut through Legal Strongman. Ali, a former television presenter for Cable TV, signed with TVB in 2012 at around the same time as Tony Hung (洪永城) and Priscilla Wong (黃翠如), both who also worked for Cable TV before joining TVB. It is said that all three artistes were recommended to TVB through executive Sandy Yu (余詠珊). Ali came to the public’s attention through her first TVB work Sidewalk Scientist <學是學非>, an informative program cohosted by Leung Ka Ki (梁嘉琪) and Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎). She then went on to star in a number of TVB dramas, mainly in supporting roles as the lead actor’s “mistress.” Her most recent appearance in TVB anniversary drama Under the Veil <無雙譜>, although brief, caught netizens’ attention. The 32-year-old currently has four television dramas lined up for 2016—besides Legal Strongman, she also has Fashion War <潮流教主>, Brother’s Keeper II <巨輪II>, and Watch Out Boss <波士早晨>. Although still considered as a “third line” TVB artiste, Ali has a large following online, and her lead role in Legal Strongman may push her to fadan status. Creds: Yahoo
don't know if she is ready but still upset they are promoting other people over Mandy...damn, promote that woman PLEASE
YAS!!!! WHO WANTS TO FIGHT ME TO THE DEATH FOR HER?!?!? I'm willing to die to even shake her hands, screw obama... lol
Liu Kai Chi and Alex Fong, plus Mandy Wong... loving the cast already! It's kind of sad to see Mandy still playing a second lead at most, but I like Ali's acting so far. I hope she doesn't disappoint.
