Brother's Keeper II premiered on 29 August 2016 on Hong Kong's TVB Jade. The final episode will air on 21 October 2016, totalling 39 episodes.
Brother's Keeper II differs from Brother's Keeper in types while the Brother's Keeper is focusing on historical events, the sequel is more focusing on the conflict within business.
After years of blood, sweat, and tears, Lo Wai-son and Yiu Man-ying finally succeeded in spreading their bakery chain, Pasterilia Lo Son Kei, across Hong Kong and Macau. Their growing influence starts to upset junket promoter-turned-property developer Ko Tin-tsau, who attempts to suppress their chain from spreading even further. Along with the betrayal of his close confidant Tsui Chi-lik (Mat Yeung), Wai-son starts to lose all hope.
Overwhelmed by his chaotic world, Wai-son escapes to Okinawa, where he falls for a mysterious Hong Kong girl Nana. However, Wai-son’s special getaway also gets him entangled in an unsolved homicide that happened twenty years ago.
Meanwhile, Man-ying’s husband, Lung Fei, gets in an aviation accident and suffers a severe brain injury. He starts treating Man-ying like a stranger. Around this time, Wai-son’s older brother Sam suddenly makes a return to search for his lost love, Rachel. Facing setbacks in family, love, and business, what does Wai-son and Man-ying have to lose?[1]
