THE FACTORS
- Love Factor -
Yoyo Mung
I have to admit that I began to really like Yoyo now. Ever since "The Charm Beneath", I started to notice Yoyo's special ways of acting. Maybe, she improved on her performances, maybe her characters are just began to draw my attention. Yoyo's character in this series is really refreshing, unlike any of the Yoyo you will ever expect. Her personality is very unique, very independent and smart. At the beginning, I was surprised to know she acts as a senior inspector. However, after a few episodes, I realized Yoyo is a great leader. I especially love the part she speaks out in front of her team. Also, in one of the episode, she was yelling at one of her team-mate (the one that was really lazy). She got really emotional that her voice was shaking. Maybe she shakes her voices all the time, but I was very impressed by her performances.
Some of the Cases (Spoilers, spoilers, need I say more?)
- The case kept me guessing
The first case, about the family murder, that was an interesting beginning. I like the way the series begins, it draws a lot of attention. The way the case was presented was also very interesting. You might not know the killer until later, because the case can be very misleading. Unlike DIF 4, int his series, you will know who is the killer in just 1 or 2 episodes. By the time you know who is the killer, you might already had some wrong guesses.
- The case that was so obvious but hard to figure out how
Watching the themevideo in greater detail, you will know who is the suspect in almost all the cases. So, after watching the themevideo for number of times, you will know who is the serial killer for the rape case, I am talking about Vinci Wong, the crazy guy who killed many girls, and no one can catch him. From the beginning, I know he is the killer, because you see his scary smile in the themevideo, however, to catch this guy, it took the producer many episodes. It is very interesting to see how Vinci Wong tries to challenge the law, and also see how the investigators challenge him back.
- The case that wasn't too obvious but was an easy guess for me
I am talking about Charmaine Li's case. From the first moment I see her, I knew something is wrong with her, because there was one scene, she tries to stand up, but soon she didn't stand up because she saw Frankie. It was so obvious to me that her legs are perfectly healthy. I have great doubts about her from the beginning. Of course, the producer tried to make Charmaine Li's character so weak, so kind, and you won't notice her that much. I thought this case was really interesting because she copied Frankie's books to kill people, it's a good copy-cat murder case.
- Dislike Factor -
The relationship
There will be nothing like DIF 4, which contains great murder cases and awesome love stories. Now, it's very hard to contain both elements, unless you want the series to be 50 episodes long. In Forensic Heroes, you will watch some good cases, some bad cases, some stupid ones, some forgettable ones, but you will never see a great chemistry that will stay in your mind forever. The story lacks effort in building relationships, so just watch the cases are enough for the audiences.
Why can't I find the click with Linda Chung?
So far, I do not like her. Please don't hate me. I just can't find the click about her acting, YET. Maybe someday, I will find my way to like her, but that could be a while. I just think she uses the same facial expression all the time, especially when she talks, she likes to do some hand movement, which can be annoying. Plus, I don't really like her character in this series anyway.
- Chemistry Factor -
Bobby and Yoyo, part 2
Remember Armed Reaction 4? Well, let's just say, this is not a continuation of that series, so you can relax and still watch Bobby and Yoyo together. This time, don't worry, you won't hate their chemistry, you just won't expect too much, other than the one night stand. Hey, what a great way to redeem their chemistry from Armed Reaction 4! I was surprised to realized the fact that their chemistry wasn't boring.
Frankie and Linda
Maybe it is just me, their chemistry is really boring. Maybe it is the story, their chemistry started soon after helping a stranger, which turned out to be a boring story. Maybe it is the relationship, when did their love story really began? I could not figure out when did Frankie started to like Linda. For many number of reasons, I think these two do not match that well. I even prefer Frankie and Yoyo together.
THE COMMENTS
- The Performances -
I am going to say Ms. Yoyo Mung gets my best actress award, I really enjoyed her character and performances. Bobby was also great here, as always. This times, he is not too funny, but very smart. In this series, you don't notice the performances that well, because the series is very focused on the cases.
- The Story -
Overall, it's very nice, there are many exciting parts, and boring parts. I think the producer did an excellent job to present all the cases, nicely done.
- Worth Watching? -
If you like investigation series, you should watch this one, you might not to guess who is the suspects, but you will be interested about the ways the team solves the case. There are many things you will learn from the series, it kept your attention almost all the time.
