Forensic Heroes 2


Cast:

Bobby Au Yeung as Ko Yin Pok / Tim Sir
Sculpted as the "walking encyclopedia" in the previous "Forensic Heroes", Bobby definitely continued his excellent acting as the all-rounded Tim Sir, yes, pun intended. It is almost unbelievable how the invincible Tim-sir could hypothesize what happened during each case after just merely one glance around the crime scene. Yet Bobby put on such a good performance, that I'm convinced that Tim-sir can do that. And only Tim-sir could do it. I liked the way Tim-sir enlightens the rest of the team with his intelligence and knowledge, merely after listening to the results given by the forensic team. If there really had been a Tim-sir alike in any Forensic Team, then the world would have no more crimes!

Frankie Lam Koo Cham Sam / Sam
Some people say that his acting is stiff, and that he doesn't act with any feelings. But I say that he's perhaps the best person for Sam Koo. He's suave, intelligent, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, especially after his loss of Ding Ding. He's cool when he does the gory job of cutting up corpses, which made the whole process look so attractive. He definitely showed his grief when his fiancée died just before the wedding, and as his tears dropped down his chiseled face, I just wish I could be there to wipe them away!


Kevin Cheng as Yeung Yat Shing / Ivan
Sunny, cheerful, loyal and caring Ivan can probably run for the best boyfriend award. He has no ill intentions, and he's always sincere. Kevin is charming enough to carry off the character, and his laugh is always infectious. He always looked cool in other series, but in this series, it's a little change from his usual cool self, because he is cheerful and likes to crack jokes. His unwavering love for Madam Ma made me envious of Madam Ma, to have someone love you this much.


Charmaine Sheh as Ma Kwok Ying
She's cool, sleek, responsible, yet kind-hearted. She's strong, yet when she cried at the very end, I finally realized that Madam Ma is only human. Charmaine did a great job as Madam Ma, as she always did in recent years. Her acting definitely became much more matured over the years, and she probably is the person who can bring out the spirit of the tough Madam Ma. Initially I was a little put off by her fierce look, but as I strived on with the series, I realized how vulnerable she really is, behind her tough exterior. I have to also commend Charmaine for her excellent crying scenes, no distorted face, no bawling, just quietly weeping. And I cried too, when her tears finally dropped down her cheeks. Just a side note, I felt that the name "Bell" is just too... cute for such a tough Madam.


Yoyo Mung as Leung Siu Yau
I really have to say that Madam Leung should have had a better hairstyle. Shouldn't a highly successful Madam look sleek and cool, like her character back in FH? Instead of that mop of hair that made her look unserious, and incapable of solving the difficult cases? However, I do feel upset that her part had been cut quite drastically by the addition of Madam Ma. She should have been given the credit to use her newly acquired crime psychology to at least help out in some case!


Linda Chung as Lam Ting Ting


Synopsis:


Every clue serves as a silent witness against crime


Bomb disposal expert YEUNG YAT SING (Kevin Cheng) returns from England to visit relatives and he comes across a grenade case by accident. With his tactful and level-headed approach, SING is highly appraised by Senior Chemist KO YIN POK (Bobby Au Yeung) and is being invited to join the Forensic Division. In a little while, SING becomes the division’s rising star. By work, SING gets back in touch with his long-lost best friend KOO CHAK SUM (Frankie Lam). SUM serves as a forensic writer and he is going to get married soon.


Accidentally SUM’s fiancée LAM TING TING (Linda Chung) is killed in an explosion and POK’s police girlfriend LEUNG SIU YAU (Yoyo Mung) also loses the ability of holding a gun in the incident. YAU’s duties are passed to MA KWOK YING (Charmaine Sheh) from the Narcotics Bureau. Both SUM and SING find YING extremely charming with her smart and unfathomable characteristics in case handling.


Integrated the 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.
