Once a student at the Academy of Fine Arts, young artist Shen Yi (Tan Jian Ci) had all of the skills required to become a great painter. But when an impromptu commission while sketching on the streets lands Shen Yi in the middle of a police case gone wrong, his entire life gets flipped upside down. Spending the next five years riddled with guilt over the part he unconsciously played in the death of a police officer, Shen Yi hopes he can find a way to make amends. As fate would have it, that chance finally presents itself when the Director of the Public Security Bureau approaches him with a job offer that will allow him to do just that. Taking a job as the Interpol Team’s new portraitist, Shen Yi is ready to do his part to make things right but not everyone is pleased to welcome him to the team.

As the long-time friend of the officer killed in the incident involving Shen Yi, Interpol Captain Du Cheng (Jin Shi Jia) is anything but welcoming when Shen Yi joins the team. Laying heavy blame on the artist for the death of his friend, Du Cheng refuses to accept Shen Yi and as such, does everything he can to make his life miserable. Even so, Shen Yi refuses to let Du Cheng’s irritability get in the way of his work. Proving his skill time and time again, Shen Yi gradually begins to convince Du Cheng that he is, in fact, a vital member of the team.&nbsp;

Working together to solve a number of unsolvable cases, Du Cheng and Shen Yi find themselves becoming a formidable force. But will the combined skill of this formidable duo be enough to solve the mystery which still surrounds the death of Du Cheng’s oldest friend?

Painters of Justice

PTS / TVBS-G

Chen Zai Tian (Vic Zhou) is a womanizing layabout of a police officer. He relies on tipoffs from his underworld informants to help him crack cases – and, in many cases, these often lead him to triumphs that he claims as his own. He lives a hedonistic life, and solving crimes is mainly his side interest. His polar opposite is the justice-loving Wu Ying Xiong (Mark Chao), a straight-laced officer whose zeal for busting crime often gets him into trouble.

The duo is brought together – and must form an unlikely alliance when a series of confounding cases requires them to stop a gang that appears to even have moles in the police force. Collaborating with an officer as different as he is not easy for Chen Zai Tian – and the same is true for Wu Ying Xiong! But things get even more difficult for this duo when Chen Lin (Ivy Chen), the daughter of a triad gang boss, arrives on the scene. Could this woman spark a love rivalry between the two cops? And will it derail their bid to restore order to the streets?

“Black & White” is a 2009 Taiwanese drama series directed by Tsai Yueh Hsun and Gao Lin Bao.
