談情說案 (The Mysteries of Love)




The Mysteries of Love (traditional Chinese: 談情說案; Jyutping: taam4 cing4 syut3 on3; Cantonese Yale: tàahm chìhng syut on) is a 2010 TVB modern series. It is Hong Kong’s version of the Japanese television drama Galileo.

This is a love story between a professor and a policewoman. Their dating experience is enhanced with sense and sensibility through the application of interesting physics theories on the investigation of various crime cases.

King Pok (Raymond Lam) is regarded as the youngest genius in physics and he is appointed as an associate professor in a Hong Kong university. Invited by his good friend Lo Tin-Hang (Kenneth Ma), Senior Inspector of Police at Regional Crime Unit, Pok assists in cracking many mysterious crime cases and he also meets policewoman Chui Siu-Lai (Tavia Yeung) during the process. The rational Pok evaluates that he has fallen in love with Lai because of a love hormone called phenylalanine. However, owing to the huge difference in their family background and life value, Pok fails to tackle their ever-changing relationship problems with formulas.

On the other hand, the romantic and uninhibited Hang has been maintaining a sex only relationship with the journalist Ling Man-Ka (Bernice Liu). Hang doesn’t believe in eternity and he is only looking for sensual pleasure in a woman. However, his belief is suddenly shattered when he learns that Man is going to get married.

After the death of her husband, CHU PIK-HA (Hsuan Jessica Hester) returns to her maiden home with her son, in a deliberate attempt to take over the family jewelry business from her big sister CHU PIK-WAN (Sheung Tin Ngor). To prevent HA from getting too out of hand, WAN needs her matrilocal husband HO CHEUNG-HING (Bowie Lam) to create trouble for her sibling. HING does not follow her instructions, but instead secretly helps HA tackle her problems one by one. WAN soon comes to realize that HING has never really got over HA. WAN's little sister CHU PIK-LAM (Macy Chan) is still attending school and too young to deal with such family issues. WAN feels a profound sense of helplessness and becomes even more frustrated when SO LAI-SHEUNG (Tang Lai Ming) turns up suddenly claiming to be a mistress of her late father and pregnant with his baby. Out of respect for their father, the sisters agree to put SHEUNG up for the time being until the situation becomes clearer. Shortly thereafter, HA discovers that SHEUNG is just a tool of her cousin HUNG YIU-SANG (Michael Tao), who has been plotting to wage a battle of wills against the CHUs.


Personal Views:
Like: Glad to have new drama with old cast like Michael Tao and Hsuan Hsuan. Like to see Michael's dramas. Nice plot eventhough not the best one. I love the drama OST, touching.
Dislike: All the 3rd sis and her husband's scenes.

Rating: 3.95/5
