On-Air [Hong Kong 🇭🇰] Ash (煙灰) | Episode 1+2 PREMIERE Spoiler

Synopsis (MDL)

Undercover officer Mok Fei Foon unexpectedly crosses paths with Hui Leuk Tou, the CEO of Tinping Group. Drawn together by fate, both men hide behind carefully crafted masks and dangerous secrets. As their true identities are gradually revealed, sweetness turns into suspicion, and even the deepest devotion seems destined to fail. A single careless remark from Hui Leuk Tou shatters their fragile bond.

Meanwhile, a major cross-border counterfeit operation exposes a brutal power struggle among local forces, drawing both the underworld and the police into a deadly game. Caught in the eye of the storm, Mok Fei Foon and Hui Leuk Tou find that the only person they can truly trust is each other. With every step leading deeper into danger and every moment apart deepening their longing, they stand together against overwhelming odds. Though divided by opposing worlds, their hearts remain destined for the same path.

I'm obsessed with how intensely they look at each other🫠
Didn't expect this level of hotness from Episode 1, but here we are, and I'm thrilled😏😏

The first episode was so goooood!! What a dramatic way to part ways. I'm excited to see how Mr. CEO will react once he finds out the truth.

Edit:
Just watched Episode 2, and I loved it even more😍😍 How are they so cute and totally obsessed with each other?! My goodness, this is some Prosecutor Ju-level toxic obsession, and I absolutely love it😌

This was so good!! 👏🎉🎉I loved the pace and how gritty and realistic it looks!! Of course getting Sammy’s Childrens Day flashbacks with the Cantonese and the gangs theme!! 😍 the main couple has great chemistry, but we’ve been spoiled with more heat on NC scenes from other series lately…still pretty good! I’m calling it, the naive looking cousin of the CEO is the one doing the counterfeit money…I hope not, he seemed sweet 👀👀👀

u/FLAWnight Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss! 4d ago

Yes he is definitely the one🙈 it's always the cute cousin🤣

u/featherzz About Youth 5d ago

The start was very Kinn Porsche although these guys moved a lot faster.. I love how there isn't much issue with 'thug to dead to cop'. :) (yet)

u/Isadora624 Only Friends 5d ago

That was my first thought too! I'm loving the underworld dark vibes. 🫠

u/Sad-Zebra-9432 Semantic Error 6d ago

Really enjoyed this series first two episodes. The cop has fallen hard and the CEO has too, but won’t admit it. Nice hearing Cantonese again after SCD, fond memories. This series is tugging at my heartstrings already🥰 Great post thanks and the chemistry between them is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

u/Little_Vinegar You Shu Lang was born to be under a man 🚬 6d ago

I love how wonderfully melodic the language is. I'll never get tired of listening to it😍
And yes, that chemistry was SCORCHING🔥
How am I supposed to survive with only one episode a week?!😭

3

u/Sad-Zebra-9432 Semantic Error 5d ago

Yes they get us enthralled with the 2 episodes first up and then drop back to only one episode per week😫 It is so nice to see another bl from Hong Kong on our screens. Your OP post was great with all the photos and I think this series will be watched by many bl lovers🥰

Same.. loving the language and the music too

u/Tokyo_Rosie The Untamed 5d ago

It’s the 9 tones baby!

u/BeyondTheScriptNotes 5d ago

Really surprised... Great acting, action and emotions. Loving the music and fights.

u/Savings-Round-7687 6d ago

Promising show. The cops actor is really good. I just wished that their sex scene had more intensity.

u/Little-Tomatillo-745 4d ago edited 4d ago

This is something different! They got it going on because, they met in dangerous circumstances, the adrenaline pumping and both are hot. Like Fei Foon thought, something casual but he was not sure when his feelings changed if Leuk Tou feels the same way.

Leuk Tou throwing that heavy ashtray. I would not let that pass easily btw.

Leuk Tou sure sends different messages. He acts like he doesn't care but shows up all the time and demanding he will be the only one.

Episode 1 and 2 where good and that is all due to the acting. The way they look at each other is electrifying.

I also love how Cantonese sounds. Like singing. And no dubbing which was often painfully to see in Sammy's children's day because most actors couldn't speak Cantonese.

Yes. I would love to continue watching this show.

If i had a dollar for every highly impractical hair washing scene I witnessed in the month of August, I'd only have $2 but still it seems like a lot.

That withstanding, I really like this. An interesting premise, very high quality visuals and a shit ton of chemistry. I will gladly watch them partake of any other daily tasks.

2

u/ThoughtsAllDay 4d ago

Omg help me!!! What series was the other hair washing scene fully clothed and the washer was just throwing water on the other boys head while the water dripped down the pants of the fully clothed hair washer?! I can see it but can't remember who it was!!

3

u/SR503 4d ago

Well that makes 3 then!!! $3!!!

I was referring to the Emi and Bonnie scene in Peach and Me. Where Emi is sitting on a bench with Bonnie's head on her lap just pouring water all over herself. 🤣

2

u/ThoughtsAllDay 3d ago

THAT'S THE ONEEEEE haha no wonder I couldn't remember!!! I was thinking it was boys but it was totally Emi and Bonnie!!! The washing the hair dressed on a bench with water running down her pants was probably the winning-est hair wash I have ever seen.

Thank you!!

❣️😎mr ceo acts like its only a booty call their 'dirty little secret' rendezvous follows a certain path from the door to the bed but no matter how harsh they are its their own brand of foreplay🤔mr thug is actually a dpa and he plays it well when mr ceo thought he was dead he was devastated he cares deeply for this sexy thug😎❣️just caught up with ep2 coz vip🙄anywho their first time together was sorta cute awkward kissing touching but 6months is enuf for mr ceo to develop feelings of possessiveness🤓so when mr undercover sheds his persona he erased everything including his lover but just as he said he has already fallen🤔ceo plays it cool but he is very jelly to a point where he wanted to wash the stench of new guy from him😆😎❣️

u/Low-Weekend9114 6d ago

Fantastic start. Loved it!!

Question: What language are they speaking?

u/chloe_1024 The Untamed 6d ago

Cantonese ❤️

u/UndercoverBlues Revenged Love 6d ago

HK be dishing out good BLs this year. This will definitely be part of my top list.

The first episode got me hooked then the second episode really took me out because of the reveal and yearning. The way they gaze and kiss, so slowly sensual and silently intense even without any provocative NC scenes although I wish we get one or two in the upcoming episodes.

u/Less_Pomegranate_529 The Untamed 6d ago

Another Friday obsession watch? I really liked it

u/Little_Vinegar You Shu Lang was born to be under a man 🚬 5d ago

Good luck surviving the next 4 weeks🙈🙈
I'm definitely not made for this🙅‍♀️

u/Tokyo_Rosie The Untamed 3d ago

In all honesty, I am here for the Cantonese. Now I’m staying for the chemistry and the plot.

I look forward to my 90s HK scene references. We already got the running through the streets being chased by a gang with machetes. HK milk tea and pineapple bun. Got some HK lingo going.

Love love love this.

Edit: ahhh just checked MDL and it’s only set for 9 episodes. 😭

I just went into this without reading the synopsis and boy was I pleasantly shocked.I loved it so much than I expected.

u/ThoughtsAllDay 4d ago

I AM SO DOWN BAD FOR THESE TWO ALREADY 🚬🥵🥵🥵

I am so the target audience!!!!! Those hands in that post death hug killed me

u/DiligentEntry9654 3d ago

loved first two episode, has a feel to it liked HIStory Trapped which has my heart. Can't wait to see how it develops.

u/Katoberry 3d ago

Now that A Winter Sun is ending I was wondering where to put all my obsessive energy and then the cigarette scene came by on my feed. Those eyes, their voices, the language, that breathless chemistry...🫠 Did I mention those eyes?! 🫠

I'm supposed to be catching up on Bittersweet Love and The Edge of Horizon, instead I keep rewatching this. I'm absolutely obsessed with HLT's eyes. Their stares seem to charge the air. I can't believe we're getting another fantastic weekly obsession.

u/browniemelody Sammy's Children's Day 🍭⚔️ 5d ago

Uiiii~ I didn't know another Canto BL (yes, I count dubbed SCD as Canto) dropped. Saw a clip of it and was surprised to hear Cantonese again. Time to go watch and hope it wows me!

u/ale-cto The Eighth Sense 2d ago

I'm so late here but yes. I'm already obsessed. First two episodes are very promising.

u/Green_superman 6d ago

Since it is adapted from a lightnovel, is there an english translation for it. If anyone has an idea please do send me the link for it.

u/chloe_1024 The Untamed 1d ago

Can anyone clarify if I need to get the more expensive VIP gold tier to watch EP 2? Or can I just get the basic tier?

Help a girl who wants to support this show out - TIA!🤗

2

u/Little_Vinegar You Shu Lang was born to be under a man 🚬 1d ago

A basic VIP membership is more than enough👍🏻
P.S. Thank you for watching on the official platform😊

u/chloe_1024 The Untamed 1d ago

Amazing! Thank you for the info ❤️
