No Regrets (Chinese: 巾幗梟雄之義海豪情) is a 2010 Hong Kong period television drama created and produced by Lee Tim-shing for TVB as a grand production. Set in Canton, Republic of China during the years of the Second Sino-Japanese War, it follows the lives of Lau Sing (Wayne Lai) and Cheng Kau-mui (Sheren Tang), who go against all odds to protect their families from the violence of war.
No Regrets is the companion piece of Rosy Business (2009) featuring majority of the same cast with a new storyline set in a different time period. It premiered on Jade and HD Jade networks from 18 October 2010 and aired for 32 episodes, with the final two episodes airing back-to-back on 28 November 2010. It was one of two anniversary dramas used to celebrate TVB's 43rd anniversary in 2010, the other being Gun Metal Grey. Both dramas were the first Hong Kong dramas to broadcast live with English subtitles.
The drama received critical acclaim during its broadcast, and is the second highest-rated television drama in 2010 in average viewers. The final episode peaked at 47 TVRs with 3.43 million live viewers, becoming Hong Kong's most-watched episode of the 2010s decade and continues to hold the record in viewership on TVB's online service MyTV with an additional 3.7 million clicks days after its live broadcast.[1][2] No Regrets received multiple awards at the TVB Anniversary Awards sweeping the main acting categories, including Best Actor (Wayne Lai), Best Actress (Sheren Tang), Best Supporting Actor (Mak Cheung-ching), Best Supporting Actress (Fala Chen), and Most Improved Actor (Raymond Wong Ho-yin).
Premise[]
Set in the late 1930s to late 1940s in Canton, Republic of China during World War II, No Regrets is an epic drama that centers on a triad family, the Canton police force, and the Japanese occupation of the city. The Chinese title of No Regrets (巾幗梟雄之義海豪情) literally translates to "Veiled Heroine, Ruthless Hero: Righteous Sea, Heroic Passion", referring to both the chaotic period of war and the complicated relationship shared by the two main characters, Cheng Kau-mui (Sheren Tang) and Lau Sing (Wayne Lai). The drama and cast received eleven TVB Anniversary Award nominations, winning five of them. The awards include Best Actress for Tang (who also won Best Actress for Rosy Business), Best Actor for Lai (who also won Best Actor for Rosy Business), Best Supporting Actress for Fala Chen, Best Supporting Actor for Mak Cheung-ching, and Most Improved Male Artiste for Raymond Wong Ho-yin. Meanwhile, No Regrets also gains other awards and achievement, including all four Mingpao Weekly awards for TV programmes, the first Shanghai Television Festival nomination for a Hong Kong TV drama and two awards for supporting actors at Asian Television Awards.
Synopsis[]
Canton is in a state of political turmoil in the 1930s. Gangsters are on a rampage and opium trading becomes rampant. As they watch the illicit profits from opium trading escalate, the government forms the Anti-Smoking Bureau under the guise of suppressing opium, but the bureau is under the influence of Cheng Long-kwan (Elliot Ngok), the gang's kingpin. His eldest daughter Cheng Kau-mui (Sheren Tang) who is an unscrupulous person soon returns from Shanghai to reap the rewards. Mui meticulously plans her every move.
On the other hand, Lau Sing (Wayne Lai) is the leader of the Criminal Investigation Team. He has worked hard all his life to ensure an easy trail for his family. Despite his hot temper, he values friendship and brotherhood more than anything else. Once, he almost sacrificed his life to help his timid teammate, Spareribs (Ngo Ka-nin).
Meanwhile, the Japanese army invades China and Canton falls into the hands of the Japanese. Mui enters the darkest time in her life when her aunt Cheng Long-hei (Susan Tse) frames her.
Production[]
Development and filming[]
After the critical and popular success of Rosy Business, TVB decided to produce a sequel for the drama. Most of the original main cast signed on to film the sequel, with the exception of Kiki Sheung, Ron Ng, and Suki Chui, who were reported to be not taking part in the production due to schedule conflicts. While the production was labeled as a sequel, the term was only a namesake. Wayne Lai, who portrayed Chai Kau in the predecessor, expressed that he would not film a sequel to Rosy Business: "I do not wish [to film a sequel]. Chai Kau's ending was the most significance part of his life. He will not appear in this world again."[3] Many of the cast members expressed that the ending to Rosy Business was perfect, and that there was no need to film a sequel.[4]
A sales presentation trailer of No Regrets featuring majority of the original cast was filmed on 25 October 2009 in TVB's filming studio in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong.[5] The three-minute trailer aired on the TVB Jade channel on 6 December 2009 during TVB's 42nd Gala Presentation, and received an overwhelmingly positive reception.[6] 50 random locals were interviewed in the streets, and 58% chose No Regrets as their most anticipated drama of 2010.[7] Several Mainland China news portals also listed No Regrets as one of the top 15 for most anticipating upcoming Hong Kong/Taiwanese dramas.[8]
A costume fitting was held on 10 March 2010[9] in the TVB studios. Filming took place in Hong Kong, beginning on 25 March 2010 and ended on 19 July 2010.[10]
Cast and characters[]
Main[]
- Sheren Tang as Cheng Kau-mui (鄭九妹):
Known as Miss Kau (九姑娘), she is the only daughter of Cheng Long-kwan, the most powerful drug tycoon in Canton. Holding a deep hatred for drugs, Miss Kau hopes to gain full control of her father's expansive opium business in order to destroy it from within. Tang expressed that it took her a while to grasp Miss Kau's character. "Her character is extremely complex. She doesn't abide to one direction; she may be doing one thing, but she's actually thinking of doing something else in her head. She's an extremely manipulative woman."[11] Tang describes Miss Kau and Sing's romantic relationship as "extremely complicated; there's love and hate, right and wrong; and most of the time, they oppose each other."[12]
- Wayne Lai as Lau Sing (劉醒):
The intuitive, sharp-tongued captain of a police crew in Canton. Working together to protect their families from the spoils of war, Sing develops a strong bond with Miss Kau throughout the years. Lai considers No Regrets to be his representative work. He describes Sing to be a man with a sad fate.[12]
- Fala Chen portrays Lau Ching (劉晴):
Nicknamed Ching Ching, she is Sing's younger sister who suffers from a congenital heart disease. She has feelings for Yeung Yeung, but is afraid to act on them due to the instability of her illness.
- Raymond Wong Ho-yin portrays Yeung Yeung (楊陽):
A member of Sing's police crew. Yeung Yeung's mother owns an apartment in Chu Lung Lei (豬籠里), in which Sing is a tenant. Thoughtful and selfless, Yeung Yeung always puts Ching Ching's needs before his own.
- Ngo Ka-nin portrays Tong Kat (唐吉):
Nicknamed Spareribs (排骨), a metaphorical phrase for "skinny weakling", Spareribs is Sing's subordinate and housemate. Unlike Ngo's portrayal of the villainous Chiang Bit-man in Rosy Business, Spareribs is a much simpler and kinder character. He has no ambition in life, and becomes a police officer only because he wants to live a steady life.

Reception[]
Critical Response[]
The series was highly acclaimed by critics and audiences as one of the best TVB dramas. It is the highest-rated TVB drama of 2010, at a rating of 9.2 out of 10 on the Chinese website Douban at the time, surpassing the rating of 8.7 for Rosy Business and continues to stand as one of the highest ever for all Hong Kong drama series. As of 2021, the series holds a 9.3 rating on Douban.[15]
Although No Regrets has more elements of romance than Rosy Business, the writers kept them to a minimal. This choice along with Tang and Lai's onscreen chemistry were highly praised as the undying and unspoken love between the main leads felt much stronger than a typical romance which touched the audience and was very well received. On the other hand, people felt that the romance between the second leads Fala Chen and Raymond Wong's characters was dry and draggy.[16]
The drama was praised for being 'fresh' as it is not often that one gets to see war, rivalry, love for one's country and even history in a Hong Kong drama. Also, the style of directing, editing and even the music have gone way beyond the standard of Hong Kong dramas, with many people liking it to an epic movie.[17] The acting skills of Sheren Tang, Wayne Lai, Ngo Ka-nin were praised for being versatile and vastly different from their characters in the prequel Rosy Business. Mak Cheung-ching was also given credit for playing such a hated character so convincingly that his catch-phrase "My name Leung Fei Fan will be written backwards!" was widely used. Many actors who were cast as Japanese soldiers in No Regrets did not have a Japanese background, but persevered in learning and using Japanese to film their scenes. Their professionalism won the praise of both viewers and the producer himself.[18]
However, viewers found that the props and set used were incorrect and unconvincing for the 1930s and 1940s and did not bring out the chaotic times of that era, largely due to the lack of budget. For example, cars and trains from the wrong decades were used and some parts of the Japanese Army's uniforms and guns were incorrect. Despite Rosy Business' success and No Regrets' high anticipation, it was said to have had an even lower budget. The drama's female lead, Tang, had also commented on the production investment.[19]
After winning the Best Actor and Best Actress awards for Rosy Business, Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang successfully defended their titles based on their brilliant performance in this drama respectively. Lai became the second actor to win the Best Actor award consecutively after Gallen Lo in 1997 and 1998, while Tang became the first actress in TVB to win the Best Actress award consecutively. Both of them became the first ever couple in TVB's history to win the awards consecutively based on the same drama franchise.[citation needed]
After sweeping the main acting awards in the 2010 TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony, No Regrets was expected to take home the Best Drama award. However, the award went to comedy drama Can't Buy Me Love unexpectedly, shocking everybody who was present including the presenter of the award, acclaimed film director Johnnie To who said before opening the envelope, "It's probably that one. Even the clapping and cheering sounds different" (referring to the loud cheers from the audience when the nomination clip for No Regrets aired) and was visibly shocked saying "What? It's not actually" after he opened the envelope. Complaints were lodged immediately after the ceremony ended, with many people saying that No Regrets should have won because of its high ratings as well as critical acclaim and better plot.[20]
Viewership[]
The series debuted with an average of 32 points, 4 points higher than Rosy Business' 28 points. The finale episode had over 3 million Hong Kong TV live viewers, over 40% of the population of Hong Kong in 2010 and resulted in an unprecedented zero share of ratings for rival Asia Television, which was airing a gospel programme at the time. Several shops and restaurants in Hong Kong were spotted closing early, citing returning home to watch the finale as its reason. Even though the drama peaked at 47 points, one of the highest for TVB dramas during that time, many had expected the drama to reach 50 points. It is likely that the 8:30 time slot had an effect on the ratings as many people in Hong Kong do not return home from work until later, which is why dramas placed in the 9:30 time slots tend to have higher viewership ratings.[1] This decision was originally in part due to Gun Metal Grey, the other anniversary series airing at 9:30, being deemed too violent and mature for the earlier time slot. In addition, streaming was just becoming popular, with TVB's online service MyTV releasing new episodes hours after live broadcast. The drama attracted an unprecedented additional 3,739,955 clicks within the following few days on MyTV, 5 times runner-up Some Day, and the highest ever in MyTV record. Each episode attracted more than 1 to 2 million clicks on average.[citation needed]
It also received the best rating in the Guangzhou region, with 17.1 million viewers and 60% share of ratings; the runner-up at 1.57 million viewers, had 5% share of ratings.[21]
Indirect Sequels[]
No Reserve (2016)[]
The drama was such a huge success that talks of having a third sequel with the original cast and crew were under way. The proposed drama, tentatively named as Rosy Business III, was slated to start filming in April 2012.[22] Although plans for it have fallen through as the drama's screenwriter, Cheung Wah Biu, would not be returning to TVB,[23] it was announced in September 2012 that there will be another screenwriter, Ip Kwong-yam, to helm the script. The plans were resumed, with the new female leading role being played by Myolie Wu because Sheren Tang was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts in addition to her contract at an end with TVB in 2012. Lee also stated that he had trouble writing a story for Lai and Tang again after two successful series and could not think of a third story for them. This decision received a lot of criticism as many fans said Tang was irreplaceable in the franchise, as many threatened to boycott the series. Most of the supporting cast did not return either due to scheduling conflicts.[24]
Filming for Rosy Business III began in March 2013. It was finally released under a low profile as No Reserve in December 2016 after being put on hold for over 3 years due to sensitive content, with several episodes cut from television broadcast and only released on TVB's streaming service MyTV.[25] Viewership averaged at 20 points, the lowest rated TVB produced series of the year 2016. Audiences were disappointed with the poor plot and unnecessary violence, with fans disregarding the series as part of the franchise. It garnered a 3.9 rating at the time of broadcast and currently holds a 4.2 rating on Douban, a far contrast to No Regrets' 9.3 rating and Rosy Business' 8.7 rating.[15][26]
Rosy Business 4 (TBA)[]
News of a fourth sequel began in November 2020 with sources stating that filming will begin in March 2021 with Sheren Tang returning as the female lead. New creator, Dave Fong Chun Chiu, who previously directed episodes for Rosy Business and No Regrets, said that the project is in the works but nothing had been confirmed.[27]
In early 2021, it was announced that filming would be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wayne Lai confirmed that both Tang and screenwriter Cheung Wah Biu will be returning.[28] News of Mayanne Mak joining the cast was reported in April 2021 but she clarified stating that while she hopes to join the series, it is still in early development and only Lai and Tang have been confirmed.[29] In the same report, it was said Susan Tse and Pierre Ngo would also make a return to the franchise.[30] In late April 2021, it was reported that Rebecca Zhu and Him Law have joined the cast with production set to start in August 2021.[31]
Despite massive excitement and enthusiasm from audiences and returning fans, on 19 July 2021, news outlets reported that collaborations with Chinese streaming platform Youku had fallen apart when the company exited the project after reading the first 3 episodes of the script. Due to TVB's decline in viewership over the years, with drama Murder Diary hitting a new low and a new change in management, all projects in pre-production are being revamped or may be scrapped including Rosy Business 4.[32] TVB is said to be reviewing the script but sources say the project may not move forward. It was also rumoured that Tang had moved on to looking for other projects.[33]
In late August 2021, it was reported the project will go ahead with filming set to start in March 2022, but with a lower budget and reduced filming time in mainland China, with production mainly taking place in Hong Kong. Sources say Zhu may no longer be part of the project.[34] Lai posted a new photo on Weibo of Tang and himself in September 2021. Even though their meetup was unrelated to work, it went viral and netizens took the new post as a hint for their return to the franchise, with several entertainment news outlets claiming both Lai and Tang will return for the series.[35][36]
Historical elements[]
The period drama follows the lives of fictional characters in the Chinese city of Canton (Guangzhou) between 1936 and 1949. With Wayne Lai portraying the righteous police officer Lau Sing and Sheren Tang portraying Cheng Kau Mui (Miss Kau), a goodwilled daughter of a triad boss holding a facade as a drug lord to save people, No Regrets includes some of the biggest issues and historical events during the time when the drama is set. It focuses on opium, a drug that many Chinese people were addicted to at the time, supplied by notorious dealers. Corrupt police who feared triads are portrayed in the drama.
In addition, No Regrets focuses on the Japanese Occupation of China in 1937 and portrays the lives of Chinese citizens, mainly in Canton, during the occupation. The Attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong and Philippines in 1941 and 1942 are also mentioned. After the defeat of the Japanese Imperial Army in the 1945, the country faces an economic crisis before civil war ensues, which, as portrayed at the latter part of the drama, affects the triads and directly affects Miss Kau; she held a facade as a ruthless opium dealer and a woman who cooperated with the Japanese Imperial Army for an opium business, when the new government of the Chinese Communist Party takes control, establishing the People's Republic of China in 1949.
The period drama therefore portrays life in Canton before the Sino-Japanese War during the mid-1930s, the Japanese Occupation between 1937 and 1945, the civil war and the establishment of the People's Republic of China which brings the drama to a climax as the leads who share a romantic relationship are split apart in 1949. Miss Kau, a former notorious drug dealer and "traitor" to the country, flies to Honolulu via Hong Kong, and Lau Sing, who, after a twist of fate, remains within Mainland China with amnesia, joins the Korean War of the early 1950s, restores his memory and attempts unsuccessfully to swim to Hong Kong and leave for Honolulu to seek his beloved Miss Kau after the gates were closed between Mainland China and Hong Kong. The drama concludes with Miss Kau and Lau Sing reuniting in 1979 in Canton, and living life together in the early 1980s in Hong Kong and travelling around the world.
