Return of the Silver Tongue (Traditional Chinese: 舌劍上的公堂; literally "Courtroom Tongue Sword") (Chinese: 舌劍上的公堂; Jyutping: Sit6 gim3 soeng6 dik1 gung1 tong4) is a 2013 till 2014 Hong Kong drama series produced by TVB, starring Roger Kwok and Kristal Tin as the main leads, with Priscilla Wong, Evergreen Mak, Jerry Lamb, KK Cheung Kwok Keung and Fred Cheng in main supporting roles.[1] The series is produced by Lee Yim Fong. Filming began on February 2013 and finished in late May 2013. The costume fitting was held on February 21.[2] The drama is based during the Qing Dynasty, and loosely based on a short story in the classical Chinese novel Little Bean Shed (小豆棚), by Qing Dynasty female novelist, Zeng Yandong 曾衍東.

Synopsis

Scholar Cheung Sei Wai (Roger Kwok), opens a school to cultivate new educated talents. He is good friends with his student Chow Kuk (Priscilla Wong) who, though brilliant in her own right, is not very good in school. Sei Wai is righteous and genuinely believes that education can purify one’s mind and heart.

He meets the ambitious and articulate Chan Jan Jan (Kristal Tin), a female lawyer, and quickly befriends her. As Sei Wai also has an interest in the legal business, he and Jan Jan become close working partners. The villainous Poon King Chuen (Cheung Kwok Keung) and his son Poon Yi Ming (Jerry Lamb) consider Sei Wai and Jan Jan their enemies, and often caused mischief for the pair.

Sei Wai’s good friend, the court guard Ha Hau Mo (Evergreen Mak), dislikes lawyers and Jan Jan, as her father Chan Mung Kat (Li Shing Cheong) framed his father, who ultimately received capital punishment. Believing that Jan Jan is more than what meets the eye, he launches an investigation on her. A 20-year-old cold case is brought back to light again.[3]

Development

Roger Kwok reportedly turned down the role of "Yinzhen, the Fourth Imperial Prince (四皇爺胤禛)" in Gilded Chopsticks and the chance to reunite with his Inbound Troubles co-stars to take on the lead in Return of the Silver Tongue.
