Born Rich

Billionaire tycoon Marcus Cheuk Yat-yuen welcomes home Malaysian swindler Sha Fu-loi, who claims to be his long-lost half-brother Cheuk Yat-ming. Blinded by the assumed brotherhood, Marcus fails to recognize the true nature of Fu-loi but brings him into the hierarchy of his family banking empire. They both face dilemmas of their own in their relationships. Marcus is married to Connie Ho Tseuk-nin, but an affair with his old flame Angie Tung Ling-chi following a traumatic kidnap scare threatens to jeopardize all he has. Fu-loi secretly falls for Marcus' younger sister Rene Cheuk Yat-sum, who is torn between this fake brother and her devoted admirer Ko Tok-man. Consumed by greed and jealousy, Fu-loi eventually reveals his hidden agenda...

Directed by Wai-kin Chong, Born Rich leans on a strong ensemble — Ray Lui, Gallen Lo Ka-Leung, Anita Yuen Wing-Yee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2009.
