Justice Is Mine is a 2025 crime thriller web series co-produced by the Chinese video platform Youku and the Hong Kong company Ladder Concept Film & Media Culture. Starring Eddie Cheung and Angela Tong, it is set in the fictional city of Haogang, which evokes 1990s Macau and Hong Kong. Released first in mainland China and later on Hong Kong's ViuTV, it was one of Youku's key productions of the year. It is an adaptation of the Israeli series Kvodo and the ninth version of that story produced worldwide.
Plot overview
The story begins in the early 1990s, when judge Qin Yu and detective Tang Xuan jointly bring a crime boss to justice. Years later, Qin's son is involved in a hit-and-run that injures the boss's eldest son. To protect his child, Qin turns to a retired officer and fabricates evidence, pinning the blame on a young car thief. Lies multiply, and the rivalry between the criminal families revives, while Tang pursues the truth. The conflict between justice and private loyalty exposes corruption and buried cases that shake the city.
