| “Prism Breaker” Brings Together Top Stars in Intense Crime Investigation Drama |
They’re not just breaking bad — they’re breaking systems.
Kenneth Ma, Bosco Wong, and Jessica Hsuan have teamed up for a high-stakes, emotionally loaded crime thriller in Prism Breakers <執法者們>, which dropped earlier this May on Youku. This isn't just another cops-and-robbers tale — it’s a slick, multi-agency takedown of corruption, betrayal, and moral grey zones.
Backed by a heavyweight production squad, the drama is a joint project between Shaw Brothers and Youku, with industry legend Virginia Lok (樂易玲) producing, and writing credits going to Philip Lui (呂冠南) and Frankie Tam (譚廣源). Directing the 25-episode beast is none other than KK Wong (黃國強) — so yeah, expectations were sky-high from day one.
👮♂️ The Setup: Not Your Average Justice League
Set in a high-tension world where justice isn’t black and white, Prism Breakers brings together three of Hong Kong’s powerhouses: the police, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and the Department of Justice.
Bosco Wong steps into the role of a senior inspector hot on the trail of a criminal mastermind (played by the ever-intense Dominic Lam 林嘉華). But it’s not just bullets flying — Bosco’s character is battling grief and the sting of betrayal from someone close.
Meanwhile, Kenneth Ma takes on the complex role of a senior ICAC investigator who’s got justice on one side, and family on the other. As the hunt for a mole within the system intensifies, so does his inner conflict — torn loyalties, tough calls, and no easy way out.
Then there’s Moses Chan (陳豪) as the calm but steely Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions. He’s the guy stuck weighing law and empathy in every case, and when things get murky, his moral compass is put to the test.

With its 25 tightly-woven episodes, Prism Breaker doesn’t just lean on action — though there’s plenty of that. It digs into the emotional lives of its main characters, showing that behind every badge is someone making near-impossible choices.
If you’re into classic Hong Kong dramas but want something with a fresh, glossy mainland finish — this might be your jam. There’s the grit and tension you'd expect, but also well-paced character development, making each twist hit harder.
And yes, the chemistry between Kenneth and Bosco is still magnetic after all these years. Add Jessica Hsuan into the mix and the whole thing feels like a 2000s dream team, just with sharper suits and bigger emotional stakes.
