Synopsis
Does every verdict reveal the truth? Watch the court room drama unfold as a group of very individual attorneys are brought together in complex legal proceedings and each lawyer reveals their own story.
Barrister Keith Lau's (Ruco Chan) ambition knows no limits. He will do everything he can in order to win a case, even if it means putting himself at risk.
His good friend Wallace Cheuk (Raymond Wong Ho-yin) runs a law firm. Although Wallace is a qualified barrister, he has no court experience, until Mavis Hong (Tavia Yeung) joins his firm. Thereafter, Wallace's debut meets with loud acclaim.
Their good friend James Wai (Louis Yuen) is a down-on-his-luck lawyer who is financially dependent on his mother: but when a thorny case comes his way, it looks as if his luck has finally changed.

Lin further complimented the casting and their chemistry, describing it as "fresh and attractive. There will be at least one actor who will make you want to see more." Lin especially praised Ruco Chan's performance, saying that The Other Truth is definitely his "representative work [...] the 2011 TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Male Artiste already belongs to him."
Netizen's reception is also positive. On Douban, the drama received a rating of 7.9 out of 10 based on 13,000 votes. Shuanglong of Douban also gave the drama a four out of five stars, saying that "although the court room disputes are not as intense as those in the classical File of Justice, the characters in The Other Truth are conflicting and contradictory, with unrevealed truths behind each case."
