Title Synopsis:
THE DEMI-GODS & SEMI-DEVILS (episodes 1-15)
Hui Chuk (Wong Wat Wa), who is a monk, Duen Yue (Tong Chun Yip), son of Duen
Ching Shun (Tse Yin), and Kiu Fung (Leung Ka Yan) are sword brothers. By
chance, CHUK with help from several Kung Fu masters becomes a Kung Fu expert
and becomes the son-in-law of a foreign emperor. Moyung Pok (Kwan Hoi Shan)
and his son Moyung Fuk (Shek Sau), members of the royal family of the State
of Yin, are obsessed with the idea to re-establish their monarchy. CHUK
works with YUEN and FUNG to fight against their plot. YUEN got his father's
handsome features, and falls in love with Muk Yeun Ching (Yang Pan Pan),
Chung Ling (Wong Hang Sau) and Wong Yue Yin (Chan Yuk Lin). As for FUNG, a
man of integrity and pure-righteousness, he suffers painful alienation and
identity crisis when he later finds that he is a Liao. To his consolation Ah
Chu (also by Wong Hang Sau) is by his side. The two are put in a dilemma
when it comes to CHU later that she is an illegitimate daughter of SHUN, and
when FUNG mistakes that SHUN was the one who killed his father. CHUK, YUE
and FUNG's paths through life are of a world of difference. Will they be
able to defeat the vicious MOYUNG's?

C.I.B. FILES (episodes 1-10)
Tony and Mark Chung are two effective police officers employed in the
Criminal Intelligence Bureau. Contrary to their respectable public images,
the two brothers actually cope with broken childhoods caused by their
father, Albert's desertion more than twenty years ago. In order to earn the
forgiveness and re-acceptance of his sons, Albert claims to have stomach
cancer. The soft-hearted Mark accordingly lets Albert move in with him, but
Tony still refuses to acknowledge any concern for his father. When the
deception is brought to light, the brothers are overcome by both displeasure
and relief. This relief, however, coupled with Tony's frustration over his
own domestic woes, leads him to identify more with Albert, and the family
reunites.
