Synopsis
Imperial Household Bureau is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tong Dynasty. It is comprised of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire, Food and Furnishings. LAU SAM HO (Charmaine Sheh) and YIU KAM LING (Tavia Yeung) are introduced into the bureau in their tender age and brought up in the disciplines of the palace. The two girls are diligent. YUEN TSUI WAN (Susanna Kwan), Head of the Jewels, and CHUNG SUET HA (Michelle Yim), Head of the Attire, are both very fond of HO for she is a kind-hearted young girl. Soon, they start fighting for the fellowship of HO.
HO always remembers her mother’s words left to her before she passed away, that she was told, ‘Doing good deeds, Speaking good words, Showing goodwill’. She lives her life of being gracious and kind-hearted in the palace. On the other hand, LING believes her survival in palace is achieved through cruel and calculating tactics. She cheats and schemes her way to the top and finally becomes the concubine. Though she realizes that HO has fallen in love with the chess master KO HIN YEUNG (Kevin Cheng), her jealousy still arouses by HO’s attraction to the Emperor LEE YI (Moses Chan). Fearing that she is losing power, she ruthlessly makes up a false allegation against HO for murdering the Empress (Mary Hon) and condemns her to death. No matter how clever she is to scheme, things do not go the way she planned. By using a strong comparison of the two distinctive characters, HO and LING, the message of the drama is that “benevolence” is the only way to gain final victory.

is it replacing the 7 or 8 30 time slot in austrslia?
It will be replacing ‘The Stew of Life’ @ 7.30pm slot (starting from 2 November 2009)
CANT WAIT FOT THIS!!
OMGGG CAN”T WAIITTT !!!
looking forward for this the wholee yearrr ;D
wow! sameee her! ever since lsast year’s november, all until now…2009
I heard that it’s replacing the early slot.
wow seems like a good plot 🙂
tavia’s facial expression is scary, very different to her usual roles where she is usually the victim or the innocent character. other than that susanna kwan’s hairstyle is kinda funny heehee
and is that christine ng i see in the back?
hahaha yeaa LOL,
i heard it was Tavia’s actually first role as the villian! oi, and the hairstyles were really heavy :S
xx.
yup! Can’t wait to see Tavia as the villain xD
Charmaine looks so innocent in that picture at the top ^^
hmm..it does look like Christine is there, but I don’t think she end up being part of the cast.
YAY! another charvin drama/series!! GO CHARVIN!! lol
really looking forward for this series…
omg! i can’t wait for this series!!! even though i just started college and probably shouldn’t be watching dramas all the time, i can resist, i’m really looking forward to seeing tavia as the villain and the overall production!!!! super excited!
Can’t wait~~
Sounds very appealing 😀
Tavia looks very good and fits-into-role already 😀
And yay, Charvin.
ya.. she has big improvement.. i like her very much.. charmaine as well…
really can’t wait for this one
the cast’s awesome!!
…Tavia, Charmaine, Moses, Kevin, Christine, Michelle, and lots more…all thumbs up!! =)
Does any body know when the Vietnamese version gonna come out????
OMG ARHHHHH
CAN’t wait for this to come out
in NZ!
i’m really looking forward to seeing tavia play a calculating villain. i’ve never seen her play one (her first role, i hear?) and i’m really anticipating how she’d perform.
Well the vietnamese is up to You’re Hired, so the next series will be The Stew of Life. I can tell you, Beyond will be released after Stew. Because it has to be dubbed. We will always get it a couple of weeks later. So I’m guessin’ we’ll get to watch it in mid November. I live in Australia btw.
Really?? Cause Chamber of Bliss didnt come out for the vietnamese version yet. so idk.
I follow the TVB Series 2009 on wikipedia…
Well I know here in Australia, we get two series at the same time. Currently watching You’re Hired & D.I.E. Again.
I know after You’re Hired, it will be Stew of life and then BEYOND will be released.
As for D.I.E. Again, after that finishes, then In The Chamber of Bliss will come out, then Born Rich after that..
I’ve been following that schedule and that’s how I know what series will be coming out next etc..
i follow wikipedia too, but the dates are kinda off. So do u know when the vietnamese version will be release in the US for BEYOND???
aw man, mid-november?? thats so long >.< everyone will already be watching this..
I heard that Beyond the Realm of Conscience is like the hk version of korean drama Jewel in the Palace, and alot of people say that Jewel is really good. So i hope that this series can match up and if not be better! ^^
The dates on wikipedia is only for Hong Kong, in US or Australia, the vietnamese release dates of the TV series will of course be a bit later..because it has to be dubbed
THIS DRAMA WILL BE A HIT! I CANT WAIT FOR THE DRAMA TO COME OUT, BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN IT’LL BE OUT ON DVD?
In the Chamber of Bliss just came out for Viet ppl, so Beyond willl be after that and I’m still guessin’ it’s mid- NOv.
I mean’t Born Rich after Chamber.
The Stew of life in viet has just come out with 6 eps. so Beyond will be out after this series completes.
Ah looks so good 😀 I can’t wait to see it!!
Tavia looks scarily evol..XD
OMG! Where is Christine in the cast? Is she like a back up or did she back out of the series?
I think she backed out or something happened. She’s definitely not it.
Beyond is out with englush subtitles. so i think in a few days or so, the vietnamese dub version will come out. 🙂
Taviaaa Was awesome her role was awesomee.
So did Salena Li and Charmine. I also liked Tavia’s Concubine Head piece. Wat can i say?? This movie is awesome.
hahaha i find it soo funny that even though tavia did so much bad thing in the serie, ppls still want her to live at the end. i think the biggest reason for this is for the lack of human quality of charmaine character!!! lol i fine it soo funny don’t u??? “NO, i still like her”
