Two out of seventeen Hong Kong Television Network drama productions were selected by a public poll for their online launch on 19 November 2014. Liu was cast in a leading role for both dramas The Election and The Borderline.[3]
Personal life
Liu has 3 sons with wife Money (Barbara) Chan Man-yee.[2][4]
