Menorah in the Middle

Blind barrister Man Sun-hop (Vincent Wong), aka Perception Man, has a superlative fourth sense. He teams up with female legal executive Chiu Ching-mui (Sisley Choi) and private investigator Kut Yat-ha (Owen Cheung) to seek justice for the underprivileged. They never hesitate to use tactics that involve "pushing the boundaries". Barrister Shaw Mei-la (Kelly Cheung) earnestly approaches Sun-hop. They are then to fight it out in court. Also, Mei-la's pupil master Kan Siu-wang (Paul Chun) constantly back Mei-la up. While Sun-hop was serving his pupillage with his pupil master Siu-wang, a homicide case involving some missing corpse had caused Shifu and his disciple to become foes. Sun-hop presents new evidence and lodges an appeal for the defendant. He and Siu-wang again confront each other, causing successive rounds of conflict. Meanwhile, the emergence of Mei-la brings about subtle changes in the formidable Sun-hop, Ching-mui and Yat-ha's triangular relationship.

Kaew is a slave in the late 1800s Thailand under King Chulalongkorn's reign during the Chakri dynasty. He grows up during a time when slavery is coming to an end in Thailand. Kaew is what you would call a grandfathered slave meaning in all technicality he is a slave because his parents were slaves. He essentially inherited the disposition of being a slave. Society was changing, new laws were put in place that would allow Kaew to retire from slavery at 21. However, his master (creditor), Phraya Chaiyakorn refused to free him. The story centers around Kaew, his struggle for freedom and the love he has for Namtip, the young noble woman who is the daughter of his master and the heart of his inner strength.
