No Regrets is an 2010 TVB television drama from Hong Kong created and produced by Lee Tim-shing. The drama is the spin-off successor of the 2009 award-winning drama Rosy Business, which was the second most-viewed drama in Hong Kong of the year. No Regrets is one of two grand TVB productions used to celebrate the channel's 43rd anniversary, the other being Gun Metal Grey. The two productions are the first Hong Kong dramas to broadcast with English subtitles. The episode premiere will air on 18 October 2010.
Set in the late 1930s in Canton, China, No Regrets is an epic drama that centers around a triad family, who manages an opium production and trading business. Although their business is being closely watched by the Canton police force, both parties are beginning to feel threatened by the Japanese occupation of the city. The Chinese title literally translates to "Veiled Heroine, Ruthless Hero: Righteous Sea and Lofty Passion", referring to both the chaotic period of war and the complicated relationship shared by the two main characters, Miss Kau and Lau Sing.
