Synopsis
The story, as its title indicates, is basically about a bunch of young'uns training to become policemen. First comes Chung Lap Man, the fiery, impulsive, confident self-proclaimed hotshot who enters Police Training School (PTS) on a deal with Lee Sir, who Man thinks is in a relationship with his mom thus preventing his parents from getting back together. Then comes Wai Pak Kiu, the quiet, reserved, extremely private and equally confident achiever who enters PTS because being a cop means a good, stable salary and responsibility. He has a frosty relationship with Lee as well because his dead mom was the neglected wife of Lee Sir many years ago. Let's not forget the ditzy Fiona, spoiled princess who idolizes Lee Sir and entered PTS because he once saved her from a car accident. Rounding out the classic TVB love square is Ah Fa, cashier/waitress at PTS' cafeteria and the youngest daughter of a family of thieves. Yes, you read that right, a family of thieves. Or more precisely, a family of pick-pockets. Although Ah Fa herself is as moral as can be.
Kiu is paired with Fiona, a classic rich girl/poor boy pairing who face numerous obstacles to their romance because of class difference. The relationship between Man and Ah Fa is a little more original, beginning as a friendship then challenged by family disapproval (from Ah Fa's family because Man was the prime witness in a trial that sent Ah Fa's gangster brother to jail). Other characters peppering the plot include Man's mother Ivy, a gentle, warm-hearted woman who later falls for Lee Sir, who is in love with her as well, teachers at PTS including Kook Sir who is also Lee Sir's best friend, and other family members of the cadets.
The young cadets at PTS begin by hating their instructor Lee Sir, who is strict and appears cold and unfeeling. However, as time passes by they learn that Lee Sir actually cares very much for their well-being.
