The Man Who Kills Troubles (解決師) is one of TVB’s most anticipated dramas for 2019. The summary for all the 30 episodes is listed below. TVB dramas tend to be more fast-paced compared to mainland productions, so this might be worth a watch if you are not keen to sit through something that drags on and on. I have also come up with my review of The Man Who Kills Troubles if you want a better idea of the plot and characters.
Episode 1
K is a fixer for a triad society, Hung Wo, in Melbourne. He stays in the shadows and takes orders from Kiu Yeh who is the leader. His job is to eliminate rivals and betrayers. K is brought up and trained by John who also used to be a fixer. When K killed his stepfather for abusing his mother to death, it was John who helped K out. K’s girlfriend, Chloe, is a researcher. She was killed in a lab explosion while waiting for K which leaves him devastated. He suspects it is more than an accident but there is no proof to confirm his suspicions.
K’s last order from Kiu Yeh is to kill the head of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce at a function which he did. During a gun battle, K carries away a lady who has fainted from the scene. At the same function, Kiu Yeh is also murdered in another room. Kiu Yeh’s younger brother, Kiu Yik Fong, conveniently pins the blame on K when it is him who killed his own brother to become the leader. John arranges a set-up to show that K has been killed as ordered. But in the process, it causes K to suffer a slight trauma to the brain which may cause side-effects later. Assuming a new identity, K goes to Hong Kong and works as a teacher in a secondary school. He is now known as Orson or O Sir. After 2 years, the lady that he saved earlier appears at the school.
Episode 2
The lady is Jovy who has just moved back to Hong Kong from Melbourne with her mother. She is starting work as a music teacher at the same school as O. They are paired together to handle a class of students with poor results and disciplinary problems. Jovy is a strict teacher with a no-nonsense approach while O is more lenient and prefers to talk nicely to his students. Hence, they do not see eye to eye on certain issues.
Tseung Toa is a triad leader of Chun Hing who is planning to retire. He also wants his son, Ka Wing or better known as Tai Zhi, to do legitimate business. This causes the factional leaders in the triad society that he heads to fight for the post. Man Sir is tasked to keep an eye on the triads and he reports to Ko Sir who has a long friendship with Tseung Toa that dates back to Ko Sir’s undercover days.
Ko Chun is a student in O’s class. He is also Chloe’s younger brother and Ko Sir’s son. O stays next door to the Ko family and is on good terms with Ko Chun’s mother. However, Ko Chun finds O’s constant presence irritating. When O overhears Ko Chun’s phone conversation with his classmate, Ah Chak, about the triads, he quietly follows Ko Chun. When a fight breaks out between rival gangs, Ko Chun and Ah Chak are chased by a few gangsters. O secretly helps them escape.
Episode 3
O is instructed by the assistant principal to train up a rugby team if he wants to keep his job. The most talented player in the school is Ko Chun but he has since given up on the sport after the death of his sister. O keeps thinking of ways to get Ko Chun to pick up rugby again but is unsuccessful. Man Sir’s subordinate is suspicious of the person who helped Ko Chun and Ah Chak to escape. As for Man Sir, his late father was also a cop and a good friend of Wah Suk.
Ah Chak is threatened by the triad members to join them. He is kidnapped when he refuses to do so. Ko Chun informs O and Jovy. Together, they go to look for him at a bar. During the confrontation with the gangsters to save Ah Chak, Orson switches off the lights with a throw of a rugby ball. This gives all of them the opportunity to escape. They split up with O and Jovy heading one way and Ko Chun and Ah Chak running in the other direction. O and Jovy then bump into Tai Zhi and his men. Jovy has no choice but to tell O that she is Tseung Toa’s daughter.
Jovy has had a strained relationship with her father ever since her mother became wheelchair-bound when she was a child. This happened when rival gang members attacked her family and her mother was slashed in the back. Jovy only agrees to move back to Hong Kong with her mother after her father decides he should retire and live a peaceful life with the family.
Episode 4
Ko Chun’s classmate, Chau Chung Long, is accused of being a thief. Chung Long has to live with the stigma of being an ex-convict’s son. With the taunting, he fights with his accusers in class.

Ko Chun devises a plan to flush out the real thief and it turns out to be Sum Sum. In the process, when a dog whistle is blown, O suffers from a severe headache. He quickly recovers when the sound stops.With Jovy and O’s help, all the students are also able to avoid expulsion from the school.
The fight to be Chun Hing’s head intensifies. Tin Yeh’s drug purchase from a Thai seller is wrecked by Song Sing who is from a rival triad society.

Man Sir’s undercover cop is killed by Song Sing as the battle between the rival gang heats up. He manages to pick up some clues from the dead cop’s phone and later from Song Sing’s car.
With no peace in sight, Tseung Toa’s retirement plans might be affected. Tai Zhi manages to persuade his father to let him handle the matter so that his retirement plan can go ahead once peace is restored. He and his men go to seek out Song Sing but the latter manages to escape. However, Tai Zhi did snatch back all the businesses that belong to Chun Hing from Song Sing which makes the factional leaders respect him and willing to acknowledge him as the next leader. This is actually a plot by Tai Zhi to succeed his father. Knowing that he has been tricked through Siu Fung, Song Sing targets to kidnap Jovy as revenge.

O tries to fight off the kidnappers but the sudden high pitch sounds in the disco makes him unwell. He struggles to the street to stop them but they hit him back until he faints. Before that, O manages to grab hold of a kidnapper’s phone which helps him to reveal Jovy’s location.

Linda, in turn, tells John that O is starting to suspect that Chloe’s death isn’t accidental.
Episode 9
Tai Zhi uses Toa Tin’s truck fleet registrations to hire vehicles to transport drugs supplied by Tony. This escapes Chung Yue’s notice as she thought that Tai Zhi would be using the company’s own truck for that purpose. Man Sir and Ko Sir are also keeping an eye on the case as Tony is now an assassination target of a Thai rival ever since he took control of the Thai drug syndicate. Madam Ma also stops Man Sir from investigating Song Sing’s death.
During a rugby match, O’s team loses due to fights among team members as each one tries to be a hero. O and Jovy try to instill the spirit of cooperation in the team but unsuccessful.

She sends Ko Chun’s apology message that he has typed in the group chat when he left his phone on the bench. Sum Sum and another classmate also try to help Jovy to express her feelings for O. Although O rejects her advances, they agree to remain as good friends.
Through Tony’s phone, Man Sir discovers pictures that have the presence of Siu Fung, Tai Zhi’s subordinate. Hence, he surmises that the news about Tseung Toa retiring could be false. Chung Yue, who is supposedly going to Shanghai for an event, heads over to Singapore to help out Tony’s rival. This rival is actually the wife of the late leader of the Thai drug syndicate. Chung Yue is informed that Tai Zhi has been working together with Tony to kill the previous leader. Tseung Toa hears about his son’s involvement and is very angry that Tai Zhi wants to assume the leadership of Chun Hing. With such a huge disagreement, Siu Fung suggests to Tai Zhi that things will move more smoothly if Tseung Toa is no longer in the picture.
Episode 11
Tai Zhi tells Siu Fung that he will never harm his own father. Tseung Toa hastily gives up his position as leader of Chun Hing as he doesn’t want any more involvement in triad activities. He appoints Tin Yeh as the next leader. However, the other 2 factional leaders in Chun Hing are not happy with Tin Yeh’s appointment. There are already disagreements right from the start of the new leadership.
Man Sir is still trying to investigate Song Sing’s death and how the police officer involved might be tied to Tai Zhi in the overall scheme of things. Madam Ma instructs Man Sir to arrest the 2 factional leaders in Chun Hing instead based on some intelligence gathered.

O goes to the hospital to visit Jovy’s father and notices a man photographing some details about the patient. The next day, Siu Fung gives an instruction over the phone to ensure that Tseung Toa doesn’t wake up after the operation because if he recovers, Tai Zhi’s plan to take charge of Chun Hing will be ruined.
Episode 12
Before his surgery, Tseung Toa warns Tai Zhi that if he wants to be the leader of Chun Hing, then he would be disowned and would never inherit Toa Tin. Tai Zhi then sets up a ruse to ask Siu Fung to come into the room with a lawyer to pretend that Tseung Toa has signed an agreement to let Tai Zhi manage Toa Tin. As a result, Chung Yue couldn’t take control of Toa Tin despite having the real power of attorney. During his father’s surgery, Tai Zhi takes the opportunity to shift assets out of Toa Tin into his personal company.
Ace reports to Man Sir that the police officer involved in Song Sing’s death is a keen diver and he seems to know Madam Ma. However, Madam Ma is already aware that Ace has started asking around the diving club. She takes the initiative to reveal more about her relationship with the police officer involved to Man Sir to stop him from being suspicious.
O suspects that someone is out to kill Tseung Toa since he has seen a man behaving suspiciously earlier. He goes to the hospital to be on the lookout and saves Jovy and her father, who is still being sedated, when the killers strike. Linda warns him that his identity is going to get exposed after a gunshot brushes his arm which leaves some blood trails. O asks Jovy to hide what he has done in the hospital from the police but Man Sir and Ace know that the witnesses accounts do not tally with the actual situation. So, now Jovy is aware that O is not a mere school teacher and her gut feeling tells her that it is also O who has saved her during the kidnapping earlier.
Episode 13
O tells Jovy that the less she knows about him, the safer it would be. Jovy understands and didn’t push O for answers. Tai Zhi is angry with Siu Fung for trying to kill his father and warns him not to do it again. He is also trying to buy drugs from Kiu Yik Fong in Australia. However, Chung Yue applies for a court order to stop Tai Zhi from taking money out from Toa Tin. She tells a sedated Tseung Toa her deep feelings for the family. Jovy overhears Chung Yue’s talk and begins to feel more at ease with her. Tai Zhi reminds Madam Ma to keep an eye on Man Sir who has been investigating him. Madam Ma works for Tai Zhi as she needs the money for her sister’s treatment.
O’s investigation leads him to Andy’s girlfriend and he manages to get hold of Andy’s notes and laptop. He discovers that Andy was trying out drug productions in the lab which caused the explosion that killed Chloe. O tells Linda that Andy must have been killed by Kiu Yik Fong when he tries to switch his business to Tony instead. Linda then informs John that O is no longer suspicious of the circumstances surrounding Chloe’s death.
Tseung Toa wakes up after his surgery to tell Tai Zhi that he will let him be the leader of Chun Hing if he so wishes. However, he will no longer accept him as his son and Toa Tin will never be his. Tracy, who is Chung Yue’s subordinate, has a secret relationship with Tai Zhi and is helping him to keep track of her boss. Man Sir sends Ace home after an operation and sees a man trying to harm her after getting down from the car.
Episode 14
The man who is trying to harm Ace is mentally slow and works for Siu Fung. Man Sir lets him go after giving him a warning. Ace also receives a threatening letter in her mailbox and they suspect it could be related to their investigations.

To stop Kiu Yik Fong from harming him, O threatens to publish the drug formula if the former doesn’t pull back his men. Jovy and O then make their way back to Hong Kong. The threat will keep him safe temporarily while he thinks of a way to bring down Kiu Yik Fong. Ko Chun is relieved to see O back and asks for details about his sister. O reveals the whole story about Chloe to the whole family.
O begins a new job as security chief for Toa Tin’s building to protect Jovy. She is working hard with Chung Yue to ensure Toa Tin remains a clean company.

Through Tracy’s watch, O, Jovy, and Chung Yue manage to record their conversation and scuttle the business deal. However, Tai Zhi has placed another buyer, Patrick Au, to compete with Toa Tin for the port. Chung Yue sacks Tracy and their friendship ends on a sour note. Tracy did as she was told because of her love for Tai Zhi.
To stop Toa Tin from getting the port, Tai Zhi tries to frame the company as having drug dealings. This would allow the police to gather information from Toa Tin. Madam Ma gives a USB to Man Sir for the purpose of implanting fake drug records into Toa Tin’s server while gathering evidence. Using the USB, Man Sir turns around and informs Ko Sir that he suspects Madam Ma is a mole. While Tai Zhi is angry that the plan fails, it didn’t arouse his suspicion as he knows O is very cautious. Madam Ma ends up being investigated for her crimes by the ICAC.
Episode 23
Man Sir anonymously tips off the ICAC on Madam Ma. To prevent her from exposing all of them, Man Sir suggests to Tai Zhi to use Ah Tung to threaten Madam Ma. Tai Zhi tells Madam Ma to disappear and in return, he will prepare a trust fund to take care of her sister. From her car cam, Madam Ma realizes that she has been played out by Man Sir. She confronts him. Man Sir replies that he will need to remove obstacles if he wants to achieve something big.
So, Madam Ma commits suicide by shooting herself in the head. She leaves behind a letter that says she has been taking bribes from Tseung Toa. Since both Tseung Toa and Madam Ma are dead, the case is closed. Ah Tung decides to move to Canada with her aunt and bids Man Sir goodbye. Although Man Sir is the one who reported on Madam Ma, he sill feels conflicted and guilty over her death. He gets drunk and is helped by Ace who promises to support him all the way. They sleep together that night and Man Sir vows that he will gather evidence on Tai Zhi’s crimes to go back to being a good cop.
Chung Yue meets up with TY, the CEO of the conglomerate that is planning to sell the port that Toa Tin is interested in. O helps Jovy to get inside information on Toa Tin’s rival for the port bid and discovers that it is supported by Tai Zhi. Hence, Toa Tin manages to win the bid for a stake in the port.

His loyal aide, Siu Fung, is also photographed having a chat with Kiu Yik Fong by Man Sir. Thus, Tai Zhi lays down an order for Siu Fung to be killed. But this is all a set-up and Siu Fung remains loyal. Man Sir is now working with Kiu Yik Fong to bring down Tai Zhi and alienating Siu Fung from Tai Zhi is just a step.
