A Great Way To Care is a Hong Kong medical crime drama television series produced by Marco Law and TVB Jade. It stars Alex Fong as Dr. Ko Lap-yan, a senior psychiatrist who has a specialty in diagnosing mentally ill criminals.

Produced in 2008, the first series premiered on Malaysia's AOD on June 8, 2009. Originally scheduled for a summer 2009 release in Hong Kong, the broadcast of the series was put on hold after the success of Lee Tim-sing's period serial, Rosy Business. Lee's sister production, Sweetness in the Salt, was aired in place of A Great Way to Care.

With a total of 20 episodes, the series finally premiered on Jade in Hong Kong on January 10, 2011. A sequel series of 25 episodes was renewed in early 2012. The sequel will premiere on TVB's Jade and HD Jade channels on March 18, 2013.

Synopsis[]

Criminals are always dangerous, but mentally ill criminals pose a whole new layer of unpredictability for law enforcement agencies. That's where Dr. Ko Lap Yan (Alex Fong), a brilliant psychiatrist, comes in. Specializing in diagnosing mentally ill criminals, Lap Yan and his team of psychiatrists and residents at Yan Wo Hospital have close ties to the Serious Crime Unit at the Hong Kong Police Department and Senior Inspector Chung Kwon Ban (Ben Wong). Working together, can Lap Yan help the police track and capture the most dangerous mentally ill criminals?[1]
