Lives of Omission is a 2011 Hong Kong action crime thriller television series produced by TVB under executive producer Chong Wai-kin. The drama is a spin-off of TVB's successful television crime drama E.U. and a distant sequel to the 2009 film Turning Point, and stars Michael Tse reprising his role as "Laughing Gor." Lives of Omission premiered on 1 August 2011[1] and ended on 9 September 2011 with a total of 30 episodes.[2] It is Hong Kong's second highest-rating serial drama of 2011, and won Best Drama at the 2011 TVB Anniversary Awards.
Lives of Omission takes places two years after the events of E.U., and centers on a squad of undercover officers from the Criminal Intelligence Bureau (CIB) of the Hong Kong Police Force, who are closely following the activities of Yee Fung (義豐), a large triad society. Experienced undercover officer Laughing (Tse), a station sergeant of CIB, promises to help gangster Michael (Bosco Wong) move up the ranks within the triad under the circumstance that he works as Laughing's informant.
