Synopsis :

The golden triangle of Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, and Zhang Tielin reunite after four years for the fourth series of The Bronze Teeth! The highly rated Mainland television drama has shown no signs of slowing down, as the audience has demanded the three actors to continue to wreak comedy havoc as the wise scholar and official Ji Xiaolan, the pathetically corrupt minister Heshen, and the Qianlong Emperor respectively. The core trio gain some high-profile co-stars in this outing, most notably Hong Kong pop diva and actress Miriam Yeung, who plays a kung fu girl and follower of Ji here, after collaborating with Zhang Guoli (who doubles as the director) previously in Love at First Fight. Following her absence in the third series, actress Yuan Li’s adorable character Du Xiaoyue is back in the storyline this time. Also, the addition of comedian Yan Ni, famous show host Liu Yiwei, and Dream of the Red Chamber rising starlet Yao Di helps inject new blood into the popular franchise.

Synopsis :
Having lost her father at an early age, farm security guard Chan Sai-Mui (Yumiko Cheng) grew to be an outspoken and determined woman who would do her utmost to protect her home village. It is her sincerity that has won her respect from all villagers of the Leung Choi County. Sometimes she would get too enthusiastic and impulsive that she could bring about a lot of misunderstandings. Amusingly, she has mistaken the newly appointed agricultural official Tse Wong-Sheung (Steven Ma) for a thief and the two of them have been bitter enemies ever since. To keep himself from any possible trouble, Sheung has been avoiding Mui intentionally.

For the benefit of his son’s future, Sheung’s father Tse Chong-Tin (Ha Yu) has not only invited the intelligent Tai Tsung-Man (Wayne Lai) to be Sheung’s assistant, but also found him four special bodyguards namely Chuk, Fun, Min and Fan. Despite the best arrangements for Sheung, he still gets framed by the corrupted officials from Changsha and is in danger of facing the most torturing punishment. Luckily, Mui and Man manage to save him in the nick of time with a jade bowl bestowed by the former emperor. To everyone’s surprise, the jade bowl turns out a fake, but with Man’s wit and courage, Sheung is finally saved from danger. Mui has been through a lot together with Sheung and is starting to fall in love with him. Sheung, on the other hand, has no feelings for Mui and decides to turn to Man for tips as to how to break away from her. Mysteriously, Sheung starts being pursued by a hitman soon afterwards.

Personal Note:
I know this has been released for a long time now. I haven’t watch this drama yet so I’m only getting to it now. The first Gentle Crackdown was interesting and funny. I hope this one would be as interesting as well. Some of the main cast from the first Gentle Crackdown has been change. Yumiko Cheng doesn’t really look good as Chan Sai Mui here.
