Alice Chan's Courtroom Breakdown in "Goddess of Justice" is Acting Perfection! Heartbreaking Scene of Sending Son to Prison, and Who Says She Can't Have Steamy Scenes with Louis Koo?
Hey hey hey, have you been keeping up with "Goddess of Justice" lately? I'm telling you, it's been ages since a drama got me this invested! Especially "Sister Wai" – Alice Chan. She's pushed her acting to the absolute limit this time. The way she completely falls apart, from the inside out, is basically a masterclass for the whole of Hong Kong in how to save ratings.
The courtroom crying scene made me put down my crisps
The absolute standout has to be in these latest episodes, where Alice Chan's character – a judge – has to send her own biological son to prison. I mean, what kind of cruel script is this? But she pulls it off! In court, she goes from forcing herself to stay calm, to tears just dripping down one by one, and finally to full-on sobbing, completely falling apart – that gut-wrenching clash between 'I'm the judge' and 'I'm his mum' broke my heart even through the screen. Social media exploded instantly, with everyone calling her a 'heartbroken mum' and saying 'she's tearing my heart out'. I dare say, if her name isn't on the Best Actress shortlist this year, I'll be the first to riot!
The producer gave the green light! Who says she can't have steamy scenes with Louis Koo?
Talking about Sister Wai, remember the sparks she and Louis Koo had back in the day? This time, the producer of "Goddess of Justice" was smart enough to invite Louis to guest star in a key role, with loads of scenes opposite Alice. Think it's just regular dramatic scenes? Oh, you sweet summer child. I heard from behind-the-scenes crew that one of those steamy scenes was originally written quite subtly, but on the day of shooting, their chemistry was so electric that the producer decided on the spot to 'green-light' it and go for broke. The resulting ambiguity and tension had even the crew blushing. Asked if she felt awkward filming a steamy scene with Louis, Alice laughed and said, 'With a handsome guy like that? Who says no?' Wow, what a boss move.

Even 'Tan Wee Kiong' cried? A badminton star's name mix-up
It's hilarious – with "Goddess of Justice" being so popular, an amusing internet trend has popped up. It turns out that Malaysian badminton ace Tan Wee Kiong (yes, the brilliant men's doubles player) has been getting tagged by mistake by quite a few drama fans, simply because his name is just one character different from Alice's. They've been asking him, 'Why are you crying so miserably in court?' Wee Kiong himself couldn't resist posting a laughing clarification: 'I'm good at badminton, but I really can't cry like Alice Chan.' This beautiful misunderstanding has given audiences on both sides a good laugh. Seriously – one acting goddess, one sports star – both are a credit to Hong Kong and Malaysia!
In short, if you haven't started watching "Goddess of Justice" yet, get online and find it for an all-nighter right now! Just watching how Alice Chan can kill you with her eyes and drown you in her tears is worth the price of admission. Don't say I didn't warn you – make sure you have three boxes of tissues ready, because you won't want to miss a single drop of her legendary tears.
