The 3rd show of the year, that I seen from TVB.
About a detective with super-powers....he can "read" dead people message by touching stuff that they left behind....
D.I.E, aka Death Investigation Extension, form when the management of the police department decided to put all those "lousy" people into this department.
Story
Consisted of several plot together. They are all "Cold Cases", cases that were never closed
- Missing man found dead at an "ulu" part of HK. Apparently the man have "old people Eat dumb" sickness
- 3 Rich guy involved in the suicide of sonja's friend back when they are studying. Now each of them start dying...
- The Case where a Bad Husband is murder by his mistress and the mistress in turn come and live with his wife...and even help them.
- A Case which involved Sonja's previous Boyfriend, He is suspected to be involved in a murder....his new girlfriend is killed and he is the main suspect.
Refreshing, though TVB is very good at their Investigation type/Police drama serial, this one was different, and added in a supernatural elements to the serial. They Re-invented the serial, making it actually interesting to follow than being bored with lot of scientific Jargon sometimes
Actors/Actress Performance
郭晉安, Roger Kwok, who acted as "Ah Wang" was known his comedic skills. Here he does not disappoint. He have this super-natural power of picking up message from dead people. His Chemistry with 郭羡妮 is really natural. His screen chemistry with the "ghost" character is also funny and witty.
馬國明 as head of the CID, he is known to be the one, women want to be with, but he let temptation acts in and fall in love with a reporter, His Relationship with 郭羡妮 suffered. Though I can't say this is a positive role to act, but just feel his screen-time and impression wasn't as strong as 郭羡妮 and 郭晉安, even the ghost Character fare slightly better with lesser screen-time to boot.
曾華倩, say to be her first come-back role after leaving TVB year ago. She does seem to have age abit, but acting as 郭晉安's elder sister suit her alot. Back in the older days, She wasn't known for her comedic skill (Never seen her act in one), but she is super-good here as well, acting along 郭晉安 does make her look younger though...
郭羡妮, I believe this is the serial that we can see mark improvement in her acting skills. Last time she use to give me the impression that she is like a "vase"especially in 學警出更. But here, she give character to the role she is in...and I can't bear to watch any of the scene without her around. Her screen time make the show interesting.
郭政鴻, consider him as a supporting actor, and he provide the occasional digression to the usual investigation theme. Love interest to 曾華倩 and a funny affair as well which involved a Cat.
梁家仁, 郭晉安's Dad in the show. His chemistry with 郭晉安 could have been further develop. Let's hope that can happen in part 2, Yes , they are filming a Sequel. Wonder how though with the ending of Part 1.
Don really know who she is, but she have the potential here...though her screen time is really short...she make full use of her time. I think she make a good impression.
Ending
The ending is quite unexpected, was expecting something happy, but turn out that 郭晉安 was killed by a car. I heard that there is an alternative ending, But didn't find it on the disc though
Worth seeing?
Definitely. I will say this beat out 法證先鋒II hand down. Much light-hearted and easy to follow. Lesser subplot so u can remember the story better..
Though I still prefer,與敵同行
