now watching D.I.E.

its a HK drama, 古灵精探, the english title is D.I.E., which stands for Death Investigation Extension. quite weird, haha.. the cast includes Roger Kwok, Sonija Kwok, Kenneth Ma. i like sonija kwok, i think she's very pretty, and her acting has greatly improved over the years. i watched her 2nd tvb series, Where the Legend Begins (洛神), and i remember thinking, wah, this girl cannot act! luckily she got the looks and beauty. haha. and now, her acting is so much better. oh yah, Where the Legend Begins was a really good, but sad drama, i cried my eyes out! think i watched it when i was JC2.. hahaha!!

anyway, back to D.I.E., in brief, its a cop drama, and roger kwok's character is someone who's able to see images flash before his eyes whenever he touches the victims' belongings or some evidence. apparently, those images are signals from the victims.. so with the clues, he's able to solve cases lah. as you can tell from the title, roger kwok is very 古灵精怪, and very funny too. Sonija plays a cop woman, who's very chor lor and impulsive, quite different from her usual roles. complete opposite from her role in 3D Angels. i'm very impressed with her acting in this series. almost all the scenes with the 2 of them are hilarious, great script writing man!

also worth a mention, is Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming (马国明). he's handsome, tall. but according to TVB's producers and veterans, he doesnt have the 男主角 look and seh. thats why all his roles are supporting, he was never a lead actor before. anyway, his acting is so-so. still look abit stiff, and the way he deliver his lines are painful to watch at times. and he's so much taller than roger kwok when they stand side by side, kinda funny to see the lead actor so short. hahaha. anyway, kenneth ma's Ah Sir role very stylish. he looks so cool! but abit too much at times, cos when he interrogates his suspects, he still wears his shiny reflective silver shades. LOL. and his hair, wah, very stylish!

the drama 25 episodes, i'm on 21 now, approaching the finale liao. i read reviews that the ending was disappointing. and the producers received so much mails and complaints that they decided to air the extended version of the final episode on 18th April, with possible alternative ending. so i hope someone will upload that special episode on tudou.com haha.

.

although kenneth ma is still quite wooden to be in a leading role, his acting is much better than our own christopher lee and terrence cao. sigh. anyway, kenneth will be in the next hot wu xia drama 少年四大名捕. its based on the novel The Four Great Constables. kenneth is one of the 4 characters lah, quite leading role. so i'm looking forward to his drama, because its got Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, and Sammul Chan as the other 3 constables. and the novel had already been adapted by china and taiwan tv, so i want to see how HK's one will turn out, since its got quite big cast. haha.
