SEAN LAU???!
EDDIE PENG??!!
And the lovely Carman Lee?!
Youku, what, how, and what?!! Sean’s last drama was in the 90s!! And Eddie’s last drama was before Covid! Lololol.
It’s been confirmed that this is the Chinese adaptation of the 1993 espionage novel The Night Manager by John le CarrĆ©. There’s an ongoing British TV remake too led by Tom Hiddleston, and Season 2 just started airing a few days ago!
This marks the second collaboration between the two actors as they previously worked together in 2016ās Call of Heroes.
The drama follows Jonathan Chan (Eddie Peng), a Bangkok hotel night manager with a troubled past in Hong Kongās White Rock Detention Center. When evidence surfaces linking tycoon Richard Kwok (Sean Lau) to illegal arms trading, Jonathan is recruited by Angela Fok (Carman Lee) to infiltrate Kwokās organization, leading to complications when he becomes involved with Kwokās girlfriend, Jed Cheung (Isabella Leong).

The Chinese remake is set for 12 episodes.
