Forensic Heroes II

Bobby Au-Yeung (the guy in the centre) looks a bit cock-eyed, lol.
Yet another awesome drama from TVB! *bursts out into maniacal laughter*
Forensic Heroes II! The first series was broadcasted some time ago so I can't really remember it, except that it was great as well and the cast were almost the same, like duh. Or else how can this *prods poster above* be considered part II if the cast is a completely different one?
To make my following comments understandable, a synopsis plagiarised from the ever-so-convenient Wikipedia is vital!

WARNING: A little spoilers there.

Bomb disposal expert Yeung Yat-Sing, Ivan, (Kevin Cheng) returns from England to visit relatives and he comes across a grenade case by accident. Ivan's skills are highly appreciated by Senior Chemist Ko Yin-Pok (Bobby Au-Yeung) and he is invited to join the Forensic Division. Ivan soon becomes the division's rising star. Sing gets back in touch with his long-lost best friend Koo Chak-Sam (Frankie Lam). Sam serves as a forensic writer and he is going to get married soon.
During a case, Sam's fiancée Lam Ding-Ding (Linda Chung) and Pok's police girlfriend Leung Siu-Yau (Yoyo Mung) are caught in an explosion meant to kill two drug dealers. Ding-Ding dies of her injuries, while Siu-Yau loses movement in her right hand. Yau's duties are passed to Ma Kwok-Ying (Charmaine Sheh) from the Narcotics Bureau. Both Sam and Ivan find Ying extremely charming with her smart and unfathomable characteristics in case handling.
Integrating laboratory techniques, logical reasoning, and forensic knowledge, the trio strive to fight against crimes tremendously. As they get to know each other more and more, the entangled triangle of love also starts to hinder their working relationships...
At the end of the series, Ivan and Ma Kwok-Ying end up in a car crash while chasing a fugitive, but through that experience, Ivan knows that Ma Kwok-Ying is committed to him, with her efforts to pull him out of the car in which they were trapped in. In the end, Ivan suffers from an explosion by a bomb planted by a fugitive to get revenge on Bell, which leads him into a coma. Right before the explosion, Ivan planned to propose to Bell. After the last case, Tim and Siu Yau get married. During the wedding, Ivan wakes up, although the frame only shows Ma Kwok-Ying receiving a call on her mobile phone, then running ecstatically, while crying, from the wedding, ripping her dress as she did in the first episode to aid running. The remaining wedding crowd finds out, and runs after Bell to see Ivan.

Now for my two cents worth of comments! Fantastic show, nary a moment of boredom! Interesting cases, mostly involving murder but all the same, exciting! Extremely informative, especially if you are planning to be a criminal. They show you the equipment they use, their potential to make evidence "talk" as well as how even the most meticulous criminals leave their evidence behind, all which inform criminals-to-be what to be wary of.

Remember times when you proclaim confidently, "Aiya, this person sure won't die one lah! If he dies then no show to watch already what!" when this lead actor or something gets injured in a car accident or bomb explosion in dramas? Then when the actor really wakes up, reconcile with his lover and live happily ever after, you say happily, "Told you. Expected one lah, typical."
NO! Not in this drama, the first part at least.

When Lam Ding-Ding (Linda Chung) was hospitalised because of a bomb explosion, my brother and I were betting on whether she will wake up. He wanted to bet that she WILL wake up, and I certainly refused to bet with him because I thought she will indisputably wake up. Darn, should have betted with him because she died. Tsk. *grabs flying dollar bill*

Directors are getting smart. If the audience think the person must NOT die, they kill them. =( Harsh reality. Oh wait, dramas aren't reality in the first place. Happy endings are getting typical in dramas, so much that we can guess the ending just by watching the first few minutes of the first episode. The happy ending is no exception in this drama nonetheless, except the part where that girl died.

One funny detail in the show though! Haha, these forensic people gather evidence like a piece of fibre stuck in the victim's fingernail. They will then go examine it and match it with like, another piece of similar fibre from another victim. Here comes a ridiculous part (which happened MANY times), the forensic person will show on his computer, the two pieces of fibre which then approach each other, fuse together and the words "MATCH" appear. Haha, I think the actual procedure is much more complicated lah.
Also, there was another REDICULOUS (like the previous Neopets NOOB spelt it) part, which showed the cock-eyed botak man I mentioned right in the beginning playing the "MATCH" video on Windows Media Player to explain his point to his colleagues!!! At least make it in Full-screen lah! So bloody obvious!
Lol. Like if you fart in public, you don't make things so obvious by giggling and turning red right? At least pinch your nose and pretend to start asking who farted even though you jolly well know it was you, and so does everyone else.
