Byn's Thoughts

To start off with, the poster gives off a very sexy and mysterious feel to it which I think it's quite suitable for the theme of the show. I'm quite excited for this series even though I don't really like Damian Lau and airing this show together with A Journey Called Life means I'll be seeing Fala Chen in two series in a row.

My main motivation of watching this series is actually to see Sharon Chan but a pity she's only playing a supporting character as a bodyguard in this series. I've seen news articles of her pairing with Johnson Lee so I'm quite excited about them.

I guess another hyped up about point of this series is Idy Chan's return to acting. I've read that she used to play Siu Long Niu before but I guess either I wasn't born yet or too young to even be watching TVB. Haha. So her casting is actually quite new to me.

I haven't see Joe Ma in a very long time already so I'm quite excited about his role although it would be his nth time acting as a cop. I didn't watch The Conquest or The Drive of Life so the last time I've seen him was in Maiden's Vow which was almost 2 years ago (WOW!).

As for Damian Lau, I'm not a very big fan of his after being quite traumatised watching him act in Men In Pain. Something interesting to note about Joe Ma & Damian Lau is that they have the exact same last 3 series that they filmed together which is Catch Me Now, The Drive of Life & The Conquest.

Overall, I'll be watching this series and hopefully it'll be as exciting as Death Investigation Extension which also happens to be a cop show.
