For those who do not understand cantonese, I will try to write down what I have inferred from the trailer:
From the synopsis posted eariler and this second trailer, this series is definitely in the tradition of business/family drama a la Secret of the Heart and Golden Faith. Even though Joe Ma seems like the leading man, he also seems like the villan or a grey character from the trailer. Ron Ng seems to be a good character. It seems Joe and Ron will be fighting over the hotel/assets. Joe has a line in the trailer (during the kendo match) where he refers to the fact that he has used devious methods to 'cheat' the stocks (of the hotel?) and taunts Ron to get them back from him. From the earlier synopsis posted in this thread, Joe was supposed to be some kind of mysterious inheritor of Ron's father, however, from this line, it seems that there are lots of complexity between Joe's family and Ron's family, perhaps Joe 'inherits' the asset by malevolent means? Also there is a scene afterwards where Joe shoves Ron to the wall, telling him to ask Ron's dad what Ron's dad has done to the Gao (Joe's) family. It would seem like Joe has return to take revenge on Ron and his family. Another scene has Ron saying how he would defeat (Joe?) and kick him out of the House (during which the screen shows someone literally getting kicked to the ground). This seems to suggest that Joe has taken control of the hotel and Ron is to get it back from him. Also, John Chiang (who plays Ron's uncle) would also likely have big involvement in the power struggle (and a likely villan), as he ressures his nephews in one scene, telling them that 'Uncle (himself) has always supported them', and later, we see Joe pointing a gun at the two nephews. Also, it seems like the three female leads (Kenix Kwok, Ella Koon and Elaine Yiu) are either romantically involved or somehow affilated with at least two of Joe, Ron and John Chiang. There is a brief scene with John Chiang and Kenix toasting, then later a remark by John Chiang telling (Kenix?) that she has betrayed him for the sake of a man (probably Joe). A scene of (Ella or Elaine and Ron?) in bed together and kissing in a car, Kenix hugging Joe, John Chiang slapping (Kenix?). The final scene shows Ron with a gun saying 'everything is over', perhaps he is resorting to desperate measures? Prediction: given the recent TVB trend of killing most of the cast off, I think Joe and Kenix, along with either Ella or Elaine, plus John Chiang and several supporting characters will die (and we know that Lau Dan will die as well) . 11 days left to go for the showing of the series in HK... (btw anyone living in toronto can tell me when it is available for renting?)

Thanks hiiragi....you're the best!! So, it was Kenix that John was talking to then slapped? I thought it was Elaine...who I think plays his daughter in the series...But I'm not sure since everything moves so fast....

Also, thanks hiiragi for the summary!! sounds so interesting lol xP
But now, after looking at the screen pics, there's some "happy - peaceful" scenes as well between Joe and Ron, so not sure if the ending is gonna be a happy one.. or a sad one
whoa, this serie looks good! anyone know the release date in viet? heard it was soon, but just wondering if anyone knew the specific date thanks
i think the ending will be a a tragic one.
it'll be about dirty tricks in trying to win back an business empire (in this case a hotel)..someone / some people may sacrifice thier lives in the process..i reckon
Ella's a policewoman?
RDV airing news?

From Dong Fong (a newspaper in HK)
Headline: Kenix Kwok has Confidence in snatching the Best Actress Award
'The Wind-Cloud of Hotel' (the original title for RDR) starring Kenix Kwok, Joe Ma, Ron Ng, and Ella Koon, will be released following closely to that of 'My Impertinent Mother-In-Law' (the originial title for 'War of the In-Laws'). There would be an arrangment of specialized flight to the Philippines, where a promotional press conference and a BBQ would be held with a firework show in accompaniment. The event should be very salient.
RDR was to be scheduled during the TVB Anniversary Month of November, but the executive manager of TVB, Ho Chi Wan, has decided to push the show forward after being impressed by it. TVB has received firm support from the Philippines Skyview Resort Hotel to arrange a major promotional event with the entire crew of more than sixty people on 8th August. The promotional event would cost more than one million dollar HK.
Accordingly, this hotel resort is one of very high profile, even a former president of the Philippines has once stayed in it. Naturally, this causes the actors of the series to revere the opportunity of living in the 'President Room'. Kenix Kwok has stated honestly that she would like the chance to 'try out' the 'President Room'. She laughs: 'I still don't know who would get the 'President Room', but I won't turn down the chance, if it is gifted upon me!'. Also, Kenix is filled with brimming confidence in regards to the show, and hopefully, through her performance in this series, to snatch the TVB Best Actress Award. She said: 'Actually, I am confident every single year. But I will always feel happy for the winner regardless of who she is'.
Ron Ng is currently busy filming '亂世佳人' (a new series starring Sunny Chan, Ron Ng, and Myolie Wu), but would take time off to attend the promotional press conference. He said: 'I heard there are people (other actors) that need to return (back to HK) the same day after attending the promotional event. But this only shows how highly these actors regard this series.' When asked about the opportunity of living in the 'President Room', he replies: 'Its not important (in regards to the chance of living in that room). During filming (of RDR), I had a chance to enter it. I feel satisifed having had the opportunity to learn about it and to enter it.' (It is now apparent, from this remark by Ron Ng, that part of the filming of RDR was done in this hotel in the Philippines) Alas, when asked about his chance of competing for the TVB Best Actor award, Ron honestly admits that he is not at level. He said: 'I am confident about this series, but I also understand that I have been acting for too short a time. As for the award, let Fate decides!'. In addition, even though Joe Ma is currently filming in Mainland, he would rush back to attend the promotional press conference. He is confident that this series would have the ability to be a conspicuous success, and predicts its strong penetration in the viewing charts.
