The highly anticipated finale of the popular television drama “The Queen of News 2” is set to air this coming Monday, November 15th, concluding the intense boardroom battles and journalistic rivalries that have captivated audiences. The drama will wrap up with a two-hour special broadcast on the Jade Channel starting at 8:30 p.m., following a pivotal penultimate episode that witnessed major organizational and character resolutions.
The episode, which aired last night, set the stage for SNK’s future after key figures reached dramatic turning points. Diana (Kaman Kong) ultimately greenlit the recall of the contentious “Cancer Cure Device,” while the influential Ms. Fong (Gigi Ho) awakened from her critical condition and, in a surprising move, nominated protagonist Man Wai-sum (Charmaine Sheh) to chair the SNK Board of Directors.
Man Wai-sum Seizes Control, Targets Rival
With the reins of power firmly in her grasp, Man Wai-sum wasted no time in unveiling aggressive corporate strategies, including a plan to take SNK private. Her immediate priority, however, centered on confronting her long-standing adversary and head of the television division, Kingston (Bosco Wong).
The episode became the most significant face-off between the two veteran journalists, largely driven by the explosive on-screen dynamic between Sheh and Wong. Their intense verbal sparring culminated in a particularly challenging, high-octane confrontation scene—described by sources as having a “Cold War”-esque style of rapid, overlapping dialogue.
The complexity of the short eight-second exchange, packed with dense lines, proved difficult even for the seasoned lead actors. Charmaine Sheh admitted to stumbling multiple times, losing concentration on three separate takes. Her frustration manifested in humorous blooper moments, leading her to pout, stick out her tongue, and even momentarily forget her lines, prompting Bosco Wong to break character with laughter and a mock-scolding gesture.
Wong, during a recent interview on the entertainment program One Week Stars, recalled that the scene was particularly vexing for his co-star. Sheh confessed to feeling overwhelmed, describing the challenge: “The worst thing was that his [Bosco’s] voice is so loud, and mine is smaller. I couldn’t hear myself speak at all.”
“Honestly, I couldn’t hear much either,” Wong quipped back.
Despite the difficulty, both stars expressed satisfaction after completing the complex scene. Wong characterized the experience as exhilarating, noting: “It was so addictive because you have to be in this truly vacuum state, memorizing the lines perfectly, and then just going at each other. It was incredibly challenging.”
High-Stakes Journalism Puts Reporters in Peril
Concurrently with the boardroom drama, the series continued its strong focus on investigative journalism, pushing other key characters into dangerous territory. Journalists Kayan (Selena Lee) and Lau Yin (Venus Wong) pursued separate investigations into an online romance scam and the embezzlement of university funds. Their combined efforts eventually pointed toward a major international fraud ring operating from a notorious base known only as “3U Park.”
Although SNK veterans Fei Ye (Damon Tung) and Kayan prioritized the safety of their colleagues and advocated for caution, SNK reporter Ivan (Herbie Ho) insisted on embedding himself into the fraudulent hub to secure the necessary scoop. Despite Man Wai-sum’s substantial attempts to dissuade him, Ivan remained resolute. Acknowledging the extreme risk but bound by her commitment to investigative integrity, Man ultimately allowed the young journalist to proceed.
The climax promises to deliver both corporate resolution and frontline danger, forcing SNK to grapple with the ethical and physical boundaries of high-stakes reporting in the age of global organized crime.
