Finale Spoilers for “Brother’s Keeper”
*Spoilers*
With the two-hour finale of Brother’s Keeper <巨輪> airing on Saturday, November 2, what will be the fate of Ruco Chan’s controversial character once he leaves prison? Leaked spoilers reveal that Sam (Ruco Chan 陳展鵬) unwillingly becomes involved in the kidnapping of his brother, Wai Son (Edwin Siu 蕭正楠). Rachel (Linda Chung 鍾嘉欣) misunderstands Sam’s intentions and calls the police to arrest him, with Sam taking a bullet in the resulting crossfire.
Sam Becomes Involved with the Triads
Sam was imprisoned for seven years after he was found guilty in obstruction of justice, misconduct as a police officer, and conspiracy in murder. While in prison, Sam was ostracized by his family and Rachel due to his wrongdoings.
Finally completing his prison sentence in 2013, Sam faced a bleak future and could not find work. He helps recover a lost wallet for a man named Fa Sa Keung, who arranges work for Sam. It turns out that Fa Sa Keung works for triad boss Leopard, and is under the wing of drug lord Ghost. Now adopting the name of Law Bo, Sam continues to think about his family and Rachel, and watches them from a distance.
While Ghost is away in Thailand on a ketamine drug deal, Leopard concocts a scheme to kidnap Wai Son. Leopard needs the $50 million HKD ransom to replenish ketamine supplies he had stolen from Ghost to pay back gambling debts. Leopard picks Sam as the driver, but does not tell him about the kidnapping scheme.
On the day of the kidnapping, Sam is shocked that Wai Son will be the target. Unable to prevent the kidnapping, Sam discretely helps them escape. Leopard suspects that Sam had betrayed him.
Rachel’s Misunderstanding
Wai Son hires a private investigator, who confirms that Sam assumed the name of Law Bo and now works for the triads.
Rachel is crestfallen when she realizes Sam’s involvement in the kidnapping. She wonders if Sam was driven by revenge. When Sam appears at his mother (Louise Lee’s) birthday dinner and has a scuffle with Wai Son, Rachel calls the police to protect Wai Son’s safety. Although Sam escapes, the police follows on his trails.
To extricate himself from the triads, Sam decides to have Ghost and Leopard destroy each other. He leaks Leopard’s whereabouts to Ghost, while telling Fa Sa Keung that Ghost has discovered their hideaway.
Inspector Mandy Yeung (Becky Lee 李璧琦) has been investigating the ketamine drug ring and successfully arrests Leopard. Concerned that the storage location of his ketamine supplies would be leaked, Ghost transports them to another site. Mandy follows Ghost to a warehouse and attempts an arrest. Ghost almost escapes, but Sam grabs his gun.
At this time, a police officer from another precinct arrives on the scene and shoots Sam. The officer had acted on Rachel’s call that Sam may harm Wai Son’s safety. Taking a bullet, will Sam be able to survive or will he meet his death?
Open Ending
Producer Amy Wong (王心慰) did not directly reveal the fate of Ruco Chan’s character, but she said that the romantic outcome between the main characters will be decided by the audience. The ending will be open-ended and make viewers think whether Rachel chooses Sam or Wai Son, and with whom Ying (Kristal Tin 田蕊妮) settles down with. Amy Wong said, “Between love and loyalty, how will they choose?”

good series and awesome acting neitzens havent priased ruco acting
but instead theres been articles bout ruco dating 3 different girls in the last few weeks
Agreed!!
Ruco acting is just brilliant in this series!!!
He deserves to be nominated in top 5 BA. His acting is better than the current siu sangs tvb has.
Saw the leaked list of top 5 BA, Kenneth Ma, Chilam Cheung, Francis Ng, Wayne Lai and Moses Chan.
And most likely, Kenneth would bag it this year.
The others were described as “accompanying to race”in cantonese.
The list sometimes changes
Agreed!!!
I seriously feel that Ruco in BK is better than both Moses and Wayne in WP, although I enjoy WP a lot.
In that list, should be Francis Ng, Chilam and Ruco!!!
The part where Sam lying helplessly on the toilet floor..gosh my heart aches!!
Or is it I’m a fan of Ruco?!!
I just can’t think of anyone that can act this character as convincingly as Ruco!!!
Aside from Gallen Lo, Ruco is the second supposed be villain that ended up have my sympathy!!!
And ishhh Linda is always with her cry baby character!!!
I agree ruco should be in it Lawrence might be added to it and also dayo Wong
So the list can change
They should Sam Sir the award. Best TV Actor this year. Francis is good actor and the TV award doesn’t mean nothing if given to him because he deserves more. Chilam is always a likable actor no matter what role but hes not a versatile enough actor. Chilam should get Favorite TV Actor or something.
Nick Cheung and Louis loo roger kook Moses chan can do this role as well
Totally agree with you! Ruco Chan is the better actor when compared to the likes of Kenneth Ma and Moses Chan. He deserves the Best Actor award for his brilliant performance as Kiu Tin Sang in BK.
Feel like Chilam’s going to win..
Just wonder which episode did Sam give that bracelet to Rachel? Because that was like how it ended
STUPID RACHEL!!!!!
The more I watch this series, the more I can’t stand her!!!!!
Sam made the worst decision ever- being with this stupid selfish woman!!!!
Sam didn’t sleep with Michelle to buy her the shop!
He just “kiss” her but he successfully withdraw from that temptation but this stupid woman made it as Sam slept to buy the shop for her!
Michelle is so much more elegance and brilliant than this stupid woman!!!
I rather Sam with Michelle than with this cry-babyyy!!!!
(To Linda fans, I’m writing about her character – RACHEL and NOT LINDA)
“Michelle is so much more elegance and brilliant”..?! Michelle was a freaking biatch imo
At this point if he is still with Michelle he won’t be in jail, etc. Nahhh I’d rather he be with God as in be a priest.
@clemantine
Yup. But she did that because she wanted Sam.
Michelle can definately help Sam in his career!
All in all, I just hate Rachel!!!
Ok..perhaps to do a little bit justice to Rachel…Sam was her first love & only love…she totally adore him…so for him to betray her with other women…don’t think many women can accept it…plus for his character to become righteous to 360 man of greed…totally hard to accept for sweet innocent Racheal. Totally get it~
Ye man Hated Rachel for calling the cops on Sam Sir in the last episode. Just aweful character. Then when she realizes she was wrong she just expects it to be all butterflies and shit
I can’t believe u rather Sam be with Michelle. You’re desperate lol. Anyways I have to really watch the episodes to see how I feel about this horrible ending. Why make such a loving couple turn out this bad?
because your rachel is a horrible person, only think about herself.
I AGREE
i cant believe how in the end, she felt no remorse at all – for calling the police, for not believing him and yet feel completely entitled that he should still love her.
She did feel remorse but the scene was too short. When that is the perfect time for her to go bananas with emotion which will redeem Rachel in our eyes, the whole scene just stopped.
yes i very much hope it will have a good happy ending not alway left u feeling of sadness .
I hope this is the not ending because it is stupid. Very very stupid. I don’t care who Rachel chooses. It is obvious in the end she chose herself. She really doesn’t care about Sam does she? After calling the police the writer still intends for Sam to protect Rachel and wants her back with him defies all logic and sense. I rather Sam dies and Rachel marries someone else than this so called open ending. I think by the last episode no sane fan will be like “Ohhhhh I can’t wait if Sam and Rachel ends up together again” because I am sure the majority like me doesn’t care if they get back together because after so many betrayal by Rachel, Sam is better off alone.
I wonder, was there ever any point in time Rachel has never misunderstood Sam? And why is the writer so eager to give us a “will she won’t she” scenario? At this point will any sane man want her back?
yes, nicholas would want her – no matter what
If you meant by the ending that Rachel calls the police and the police shot Sam… it is indeed happening as stated in TVB’s website…. They were a cute couple but scriptwriters destroyed it.
I already have a title to my last commentary for this series if I ever write one.
Brother’s Keeper : The final insult
Totally agreed! Tvb shd just continue making comedy & not serious drama
Seriously thinking whether should I cont watching after epd 28. TVB just have to spoilt every good script by giving a bad ending. How can Rachel be so blinded how can Soon be so stupid? ? I mean in real life you don’t just dish your family to die just like that. Please without Sam, Soon will never have a shop. Rachel will still be bird in cage & not a shop by her name. I seriously feel this series doing a lot of injustice to Sam!!!
AGREED!!
Actually at first episode I already dislike Soon.
Remember while they are hold hostages at the house then Soon saw Sam hugging Rachel, he just OMGosh use the wooden chair and slammed it deadly hard on Sam (his head)
At that point, I was like, WT..he is your brother!!! Those blows enough to kill him!!!
Now it’s almost ending, I hated both Rachel and Soon!!
They should end up together and die in an accident!!!
Your comments really make laughing off my tears down.
I couldn’t have agreed more. Even from the first episode, this so called great brother is going bananas spending money in locating his older brother and when he was the supposed kidnapper. He uses a deadly ( I thought it was so sort of pipe than a wooden chair? haha lol) and hit him dead on numerous times just b/c hes hanging to ex g/f chair? What did he think he was doing? raping her in broad daylight? He was hitting him like he’s a stranger and a murderer. So uncalled for that scene the way it played out. In the beginning since we didn’t know fine but towards the end, that scene is just not good thru out since Sam obviously intended to let them go.
My favorite character has always been ah ying but my feeling towards that admiration also felt into ashes when she selfishly did not help to get a good laywer for Sam when he most needed and all but abondoning him when they have this video which will do him in. BS if u ask me… lawyers, at least u do is try? ahah LOL..n baby brother says he will go bankrupt to help him? promises, promises.
The 3 most hateful character i feel was Rachel, young brother n ah Ying. Rachel no doubt takes first place. Funn Limm is right on, she only cares about the HEROIC SAM and not the realistic mistakable same. He saved her life a few times in the beginning n towards the end, shes the one calling the police? OMG, i mean for other kind of evil character i can easily understand but he’s just a guy who made mistakes and he was nowhere near being a KILLER and a MURDERER. Sam, everyone has the right to call him selfish but NOT HER. After all he has done for her? Seriously, that was messed up.
I think Sam should be well off w/anyone but her including the seducer Ankie. She totally disappeared after seducing him hahaa..gosh that’s harsh as well. Mandy should really end up w/him since they match each other so well, too bad TVB scripts are so stuck on main leads being the love interests. Give the audience a change TVB. That’s why you are going downhill.
I wish they will show his real father as well, I mean he was a bad guy but at least he tried a being a father at one point.
Shun did not ditch Sam. It was probably for the best that Sam pleads guilty because there’re no way he’s gonna win that case. But if he pleads guilty (for what he really did), he can minimize his sentence time. But what I disagree with the series is 7 years is a bit too much, they should just make it like 4 years (since he pled guilty). it would have made more sense and worth it that he pled guilty.
Doesnt matter if the money throw into sea…if I have the money I will rather try & spent on the case even the % is low…Soon blamed Sam for lying what about himself breaking his brother only hope? But again its tvb…so its gonna be so much drama zzzz
The time spent in jail whether 4 or 7 years doesn’t matter in terms of the plot.
If your boyfriend committed a crime, slept with another woman for money, sold off franchising right and then kidnapped his brother. Can you really believe in him after he just ‘disappeared’ after being released from jail and then appear to be with the triads. Hmmm…. think for yourself.
I personally feel that it is alright and justified for both Shun and Rachel to have reacted like that in the fit of anger at that very moment. But it is not alright if they leave it as that. So i think at least Shun redeemed himself in ep 29 to help and trust his brother. But sadly, we don’t hear of Rachel doing anything more than to sever ties. Her character is really a disappointment. And my heart just goes all out to poor Sam who really needed help and family support to get out of his mess and not being ostracised.
I must say, they really want to put Sam to the lowest of pits, give the character a break
Man…another series with promise that was totally destroyed by TVB’s penchant for making up unrealistic story lines. To go from a senior police inspector to a low level triad member…
spoiler was spot on. Rubbish writing at the end.
spoiler.
Sam live, well accepted with his family.
Thinking back, if Sam stick with Michelle, he won’t have his downfall,
The evidence is rubbish, it didn’t show anything that he picked up, Sam should get reasonable doubt
na, thats not true. He still meddled with the evidence so the blondie would still be after him in the end haha
Ruco’s performance in bk is superb! His acting skill is so brilliant! He totally deserve the best actor award man! I mean like he’s a able to portray his character so well and when u watch the drama, u can’t help but feel him. His gaze, his action. Just so good. Sometimes I totally forgot that he is Ruco chan not kiu tin sang. Thumbs up for his great performance in bk! 😀
totaly agree,this men is the future of tvb,i mean he has the best acting among all tvb siu san on this moment,even better than wayne,if i’m a tvb executive i would give him a life long contract.
Can’t agree more. But seems tbb not admit that they’ve got a rare gem, he’s still much undervalued in promotion.
Linda Chung is very good at playing some of the most hated and annoying characters, but it is not helping her win any fans.
Quite surprised Ruco Chan won’t make it to the nomination list.
I still love Linda Chung. U just look at her and u can’t hate her. She’s too sweet and beautiful to me but of course all the Linda haters here will disagree with me.
go ahead and love her. i wish you all the best and find a girlfriend exactly like Rachel.
If I were a guy I will fall for someone like Rachel but I will marry Ying because in the end Ying is the sort that whatever she does, she will do it for my benefit. Rachel is someone too much into hero worshipping and wouldn’t do well when reality sets in. Moreover Rachel is too expensive to maintain. Ying however will help me find my first pot of gold.
Just finsihed watching Brothers Keeper and it is a good series. I really enjoyed every second of it. Just wish it wasn’t an open ended ending. I really hate those. Can’t there be a closing!!! But I have to say that Rucco’s performance is absolutely superb! Ying is really good too. Howcome TVB won’t let the good actors to act more and always use the same people repeatedly in every other drama? Rucco got my vote for the hottest guy of the year and hope to watch more of his performances. Think Edwin is better at playing Yap characters from Daddy Good Deeds. He looks like a fun, nice guy so think those characters fits him more. Ahhh!!! Just wish this series can go on…
agree. Great series, too bad the rating was not as high as expected
Agreed, can’t wait for Brother’s Keeper 2, which is why it is open-ended (I hope).
I finished the drama!!! It was good! I don’t understand why u guys don’t like it! Best ending! And I still don’t hate Rachel after watching it. She admit to her faults and Sam didn’t blame her. The director was just using Rachel’s character to deliver a message of trust. I love Rachel just as much as Sam and forgive her :p
Well, Rachel’s bracelet gave it all away. My interpretation of her is that she forgives Sam and there is a possibility for them to be back together.
I find the ending good. I actually like this series more than the others, except Always and Ever of course.
Of course she will forgive Sam. She have always loved Sam but his cheating broke her heart and she is just protecting herself from getting hurt again. 7 years she did not date anyone or love anyone. All she wants is a good person and Sam will prove to her that he is still that man she should be proud of. At the end Rachel is proud of Sam. U all know for the rest of their life they will love each other. It’s so obvious!
Yes, Linda, again, with her cry baby acting. But she did mention she took the role initially since she’s comfortable speaking English (duh!!!).. Perhaps speaking English is rank higher on her priority list than taking the same old crying-baby role.
If u didn’t watch the drama then don’t say Linda is a cry baby in this drama! Linda didn’t cry much at all. Just a few tears but it was needed. If she don’t cry u say she is heartless and if she cry u guys say she is a cry baby. As I’ve said too many Linda haters here and is very bias and unreasonable
No but did you see her exaggerated crying scene when Sam kissed Fabio
I just finished this drama and I can say that I really enjoyed the drama especially Ruco’s acting! His smiles, crying and even those actions scenes were very well done!!
Got kinda angry halfway when Ah soon and Rachel didn’t believe Sam. Especially Rachel argh. But in the end I can feel that she was really apologetic about mistaking Sam, (and that taking account that Sam made mistakes in the past), I shall forgive her haha. I also feel that she is willing to accept Sam again (by the bracelet at the end & the raining umbrella scene), but just as what Sam said, the timing is prolly not right yet.
I enjoyed this drama a lot, and hope Ruco can get a award for this show! A little part of me hope that they can do a follow up on sam’s life, but the opening ending was good tho.
Thank u for forgiving Rachel. Both was wrong to each other before so let’s call it even! Lol. Love the drama!
lol to see you defence linda everytime when ppl gives negative comments about her,and thanks everyone that do the opposite.you are truly a linda admirer through and through.
Lol yes I know I’m silly but hey ….. Love is blind :p
Nicholas:
Do you really love Linda Chung? I thought you only love her as an idol actress! LOL!
Sandcherry: yes I love her as an idol BUT she would be my ideal girlfriend. Who wouldn’t like a pretty hard working girl like Linda. She may not be the best in acting or singing but she is a nice friendly person.
Ya…but u gotta learn to separate the actress from the character…geez
The ending is clear. Rachel will wait for Sam. I disagree on the forgiveness part. It is not for Rachel to forgive Sam but for Sam to accept her again.
Both need to forgivr each other. What Sam did was wrong; e.i betraying Racheal, falsified evidence etc even though he do it because he love her too much…& his own selfishness. Racheal not a saint too cos she claomed she love him but she never trust him after the incident & was not there to truly support him.
Cant wait to watch this!!!!!
Why is everyone blaming Michelle. She didn’t do anything wrong. That was her first love and it’s painful to see Sam cheated on her. How can you expect her to trust him after all.
I wish they’ll make the ending a little bit longer. Most of the ending ends in 5 min.
I didn’t know Fabio’s mother in this series is her real mom.
I find it weird that it’s one of those happy ending that you actually want it to happen after seeing what happened to Sam…
but as told by Son in the end, his brother’s life was meant to be a rugged adventure, and it’s such an inspiration that he still aspires to achieve his boyhood dream despite after all this… such motivating and great series that’s not getting the response it deserves!
The last episode was good
So the end rachel is gonna be with sam?
Yes Rachel will wait for Sam to come back and she will wait for that day. Sam wants to better himself and maybe find a job he likes? It’s open ending so u can imagine whatever u want. U can have Sam go find Fabio if u guys so hate Rachel lol
It is not an open ending. Basically he says he will be back for her and she will wait for him. What is open ending? Unless in sequel he dies whilst tracking through some jungle. Samchel is alive and we’ll except this time Sam thinks of himself first rather than waiting on Rachel. I would love to think it was because she called the cops on him but since this is the pure version, that is unlikely. He just needs abiotic me time whilst Rachel should now suffer the uncertainty.
Ipad and their auto correct bs. I meant expect and a bit of.
Because all it showed was rachel’s braclet and the son said it will be very soon
Argh! Ah Sam should just go with Mandy, who stood by him and trusted him all these while. Compared to Rachel who is only too quick to blame him and abandon him. A real spoilt princess living in her rainbow world!
Yeahhhh!!!
I thought I’m the only one who think so!!!
Sam is better off with anyone than cry-baby Rachel!!
HAHA was just about to say that Sam and Mandy should be
together too. Too bad the scriptwriters didn’t think that way ^_^¦¦¦
sam is better off alone than be with rachel. She will just bring her downfall
It’d be so much more epic if they had killed Sam in that scene.
Open ending in this is good, but man, so frustrating, lol.
Ruco should get a nomination in BA, he’s do freaking good in acting!!!
Hi.. I started likeing Ruco Chan just this drama aired.. I like his face.. lol..
Ruco Chan does not have a super handsome face. His eyes are a bit wicked. However, his acting is good.
Yes I agree on his eyes part not so convinced eyes.
Ruco has got the most expressive eyes i’ve seen in any actor. They speak volumes more than words and Ruco uses them to good advantage to convey his innermost feelings. A good actor should be able to convey emotions through his eyes,without having to utter a single word. I think Ruco has done that very successfully.
got to add that his eyes can be wicked or tender as required of his character.
Ruco has captivating talking eyes and that’s rarely seen in actors. His chiseled looks are my cup of tea and I do think his features are almost perfect.
If there is a love letter, this is a definite love letter.
Just finished watching the ending. Ruco’s acting is really good and his character goes through a lot so we get to see his great acting skill. I think he deserves to be TVB king. The ending wasn’t all great but it shows that Rachel and Sam relationship still needs to work on their trust issue. But it was great to see that Edwin’s character never give up on his brother. I find their brotherly love is strong than Sam and Rachel’s love. I am actually glad that the ending did not show they are together but imply that they will still wait for each other for right time.
When Rachel said, Hai ngo report police.. make me want to slap her zillion times..
I don’t expect Rachel be with Sam at the end. I want to see her regret that she doesn’t trust Sam. I rather Sam died at the end then end up with Rachel. If Sam alive I rather Sam with Man. Man understand Sam better. Rachel can be with Shuen, 2 selfish persons, who think so almighty about themselves.
There’s nothing wrong with the plot of BK. Art imitates life. When things go bad or desperate for people you can see all sorts of characters come into play. It is how each individual solves the problems.
In BK Sam made a choice which was like
from a frying pan into the fire. His c
Sorry for the glitch… His choice might not be another person’s choice as it might get in the way
of conscience.
Trust is a very fragile thing which is earned. Once it’s broken it only takes a suspicion not a proof to arouse mistrust.
How simple life will be if you can have a lrelationship
Another glitch… relationship with anyone who is
good for you. Obviously, Sam’s choice should be Mandy and Soon’s should be
Ying.
How many people can find a good
match of a combination of looks and personality? If looks qualifies but personality is lacking so the justification is love is o blind.
All those characters ivn BK are real people in o.,k
All those characters in BK are real people p
in our world.
Very realistic portrayals…s
i honestly really enjoyed this drama, i just finished watching it. I guess one of the main reasons why i enjoyed it is because i got to see how the lifestyle was back 20-30 years ago, even tho it isn’t’ completely accurate i still got a general idea.You can really see how their lifestyle/clothes changed as time went by. It was interesting how the writers decided to take the story at around episode 20, when the police findout that sam was involved in disrupting a case (taking the bracelet from the sink) and he decides to leave the police force. The writers could have done the usual popular route and just made his character like a bad cop, kind of like with Emergency Unit drama with Ron Ng and than have him realize all the wrong he had done in the end. Instead they kind of took a “detour” showing him leaving the force and joining Fabio’s company and all the things that happened between them and how Linda’s character got involved. This is one of my favourite dramas this yearrrrrr. I was skeptical about Edwin playing a one of the main characters but he did a reallyyyy good jobb. Linda’s english in the beginning made me cringe but it was necessary since her character went to australia or whereever to study
