That Chen Lin bit that I quoted earlier was because she could have taken the whole San Lian hui there. Don't you think that would have been more logical and sensible?
Umm, I really like the chemistry between Vic and Mark. The despise and rivalry which slowly changed to reluctant friendship and finally morphed into brotherly love was done well.
You are right, wouldn't mind another season but hopefully they will put more thought into the storyline this time.

I thought they did this one pretty well too. I feel like the production team put some thought in the music selection. I really like the soundtrack and it fits the show.
I think Vic Zhou is doing choosing different characters to act to challenge himself. Actually, I saw on one of the interviews that the director actually wrote the character with Vic in mind because Vic actually has a more playful side that he doesn't reveal all the time. Anyways though, his character shows a lot of conflicting emotions underneath the playful facade which is not easy to pull off!
Mark Chao was superb - especially for a first time actor. Also from his interviews, I can tell that he has a can-do professional attitude which is a plus! He's perfect for the straight-forward, brave cop seeking to do good and catch the bad guys. (Of course, it isn't as simple as that with the twists in this movie).
I really liked the contrast between the two characters and although I must say that there were parts of the drama where I was like "uhh.... this is impossible or just utterly stupid" (like what morserachel mentioned), but it was definitely enjoyable w/ lots of eye candy to boot.
I didn't know the part about the writer thinking of Vic when he wrote the part, but I do agree he's doing a good job at picking different roles for himself (if indeed he does.. the system they have in Asia is a little reminiscent of old Hollywood it seems). I'm glad. I think it was ep 11 when we saw his reaction to his "transition" and he was brillant. He kind of reminded of a monkey or maybe L from Death Note. If they ever make a Chinese Death Note, he's perfect. He had the right amount of every emotion necessary for each scene.
I also agree with you about Mark. I think what might have been lucky for him was having his dad on set. As a new actor if he was ever wobbly or unsure, his dad was there for support.
I loved it. Yeah they reached a bit, but I didn't mind. I really don't think the chic going from killing him to herself was that much of a stretch. It could have been written better but the elements for it were there. Same thing with the twin guy. His programming started to revert when they killed his sister. All he wanted was revenge. If he tells all he knows, he'll probably not go to jail, but he will get the revenge he wanted for his sister. Someone mentioned the lack of coupling and to that I can only say HALLELUJAH!!!!! It was a cop show not a romance. It had quite enough.

Yeah people get type cast all the time in Asia it seems. I hope that Vic will be able to break out of the Idol mold.

I think a lot of actors/actress in both Asia and in Hollywood get typecasts if they are good in acting a certain character and some are just plain bad that it doesn't matter how many movies they are in, it's the same character with different name. I really don't know which is better, get typecasts or act as the same character in every movies.
I've to say overall it's not a bad series but toward the end, everything seems to be a little rush rather than let the storyline gradually layout.

Any other good dramas like Black&White! I just finished and loved it. Tempted to buy the DVD's but not sure of the quality of the english subtitles, but the only raws I can get are for real player which can't be burned to a DVD.
