Joe Ma expressed, “I will be portraying a lawyer this time. I’ve done it before, but I wasn’t the lead. There are a lot of reference lines. I’ve went to court and seen trials in session. I’ve seen a lot of different types of lawyers. There are some who walk out looking very dignified, some who look more warm. My character is a bit complicated. He wasn’t a lawyer from the beginning. He only become a lawyer later on. His personality is kind of extreme, has a lot of mysterious flavors.”
