I wasn’t looking forward or interested in this series since I am not a fan of any of the actors and actresses in here (Bernice would be my favourite if I had to choose one, but more of her personality than acting).
Since it was airing, I watched it. I didn’t have any hopes on this series since I am not a fan of the FungYi couple or individually, had no hopes on Lau Ka Ho and the crew and I am glad that I had no hopes.
It feels like some high school physics class. Of course if they made it really complex people might not understand it, but we don’t need to have a physics class by TVB. They didn’t need to explain everything like that, especially not high school physics.
And they never needed to actually catch any of the suspects, after saying the so called proof they will automatically admit to it or even kill themselves. Of course thanks to the 'know-it-all' Kingsley King.
The crew, especially scriptwriters seemed very new and they have no idea about physics but focused on it too much, the relationships were badly written too.
Tavia and Raymond or FungYi has lots of fans and they cooperated numerous times. This was probably the selling point TVB hoped for, but it flopped.
This is the second time I watched them as a couple (from what I remember). The first time was Twins Of Brothers and they didn't satisfy me in there, (it might also be that affecting me all these years so I don't like them, but I doubt it) so there aren't any positive comments about them. Luckily this time it wasn't negative like TOB, it was neutral and/or I didn‘t care. I didn't dislike or like any scenes, if I remembered any at all. Hopefully it improves for their next series with Bobby.
The only thing that I remembered and somewhat bothered me was when Raymond wanted this memory erasing machine to delete all the sad memories.
If someone's sad memories were deleted they wouldn't know what was happy or sad, they wouldn't have the comparision, the very happy would be happy and the average happy would be sad, making the person more sad...
Seeing somewhere that Lau Ka Ho mentioned that this series was more focused on love instead of cases, it kind of excuses the bad cases (not really) but that just makes the relationships worst. This one went draggy and went in circles and while the other one was draggy and went in circles and a faulty puzzle.
Bernice and Kenneth and the 'friends with benefits' theme was not done well. It was out of place, it was different puzzles pieces trying to be put together into one picture. It seems like the crew just put pieces and bits together and hoping people would understand how bi-polar and weird they were, or wait, both the actresses here are like that, changing too quick. (Or were they trying to relate Tavia to something?)
At first they both seemed cool about this 'friends with benefits', but all of a sudden Bernice is very attached but decides to leave and is attached to another person, another Kenneth, Stephen Huynh. If they didn't have Stephen in this picture, only Kenneth and his many girlfriends, it might have been better. Or was it Bernice’s acting… or should I say the limited time Bernice had.
Oh, and did I miss/forget something or did they exaggerate on the numbers for Kenneth's girlfriends. I thought there would be one every episode but it seemed like there were only a few. Haha.
After all I did have some hope in the series, hoping I would enjoy or get something out of it but it failed to do so, but should I be glad I wasn't anticipating this series so it doesn't fall into the fail category.
My Rating: 5/10, won't re-watch
