Awfully Lawful (Chinese: 熟男有惑) is a 2013 Hong Kong comedy legal drama television series produced by TVB. The series revolves around three lawyers, their legal cases and their personal relationships and it stars Roger Kwok, Johnson Lee, Raymond Cho, Sharon Chan and Selena Lee as the main cast.

Synopsis

Ming (Raymond Cho) and Jazz (Pal Sinn) are partners of a solicitor firm, who invite Solo (Roger Kwok) and Fish (Johnson Lee) to join the firm as well. Despite their different personalities, the four men share a close bond. They are well-known within the legal circle as "The Big Four Mature Men". Their creative tactics to win court cases have won over many female clients. Unfortunately, someone has swindled money from the firm.

To save the firm from financial distress, four female lawyers are brought in. They include Roger's rival Kay (Sharon Chan), Johnson's wealthy wife Elsa (Selena Li), Ming's wife Tina (Joyce Tang) and a barrister, Honey (Grace Wong), who gets entangled with Pal and Johnson. The working and private relationships of the eight become messier and messier, until they finally realize that there is someone behind all the happenings at the law firm. With Solo leaving the firm and Ming's mysterious disappearance with the firm's money, what would become of the law firm?

Will the four woman - Elsa, Kay, Tina, and Honey - be able to save the firm?

Main cast

• Roger Kwok as Solo, whose father worked for Lady Lauren but he died while trying to rescue Harry from kidnappers. In appreciation of his sacrifice, Lady Lauren provided education for Solo. He primarily focuses on family and public work related cases at the firm, but suddenly leaves while it is in crisis. Solo hates being entangled in relationships and does not want to get married and have children. He is at odds with Kay.
• Sharon Chan as Kay, Tina's younger sister. Five years earlier, she had been in a relationship with Lady Lauren's son, Harry. She became pregnant with his child and believed that they would get married, but Harry had no intention of doing so and abandoned her. As a result, she left her son with Tina and Ming to go to England to find Harry.
• Johnson Lee as Fish, the husband of Elsa. He and his wife almost always argue over whether or not to have children - Elsa does not appreciate how Fish is always trying to force her into having a baby. The issue drives a deep wedge into their relationship, such that Elsa considers that he might be interested in other women and hires Betty to track Fish's activities. When they almost divorce, Fish apologizes and promises not to force Elsa to have babies.
