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, with Michael Tse reprising his role as "Laughing Gor." Lives of Omission premiered on 1 August 2011 and ended on 9 September 2011 with a total of 30 episodes. 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 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), station sergeant of the CIB, promises to help gangster Michael (Bosco Wong) move up in the triad under the circumstance that he works as Laughing's informant.
After Laughing (Michael Tse) successfully completes a long term undercover mission in Mainland China, CIB Director Superintendent Harry Kung (Damian Lau) recruits Laughing into his department to become a teacher to new recruits. On Laughing's very first day, he encounters woman that greatly resembles his former lover, Karen (from the film); she is Laughing's new commander and second lead in CIB, Senior Inspector Jodie Chau (both played by Fala Chen). Together, their assignment is to recruit and train rookies in the art of undercover. However, things do not go as smoothly as desired.
