Storyline:
This story is about detective Dayo who solves many crimes. He is very smart and can find criminals easily, but he unfortunately has asthma stopping him from running quickly. On the other hand, there is a lady from an insurance company, Ada, who is pretty messed up. She is competing against Marco to be the Chief of the company. Michael works in a gym to help others keep fit and has fallen for Ada but she doesn't know this. Dayo also goes to the gym. This story goes on with many different crimes that Dayo solves. He eventually falls for Ada. I won't give away the ending so I will stop here.

Comments:
Storyline:
The storyline of this series is quite good. This is because the storyline is interesting and makes you want to keep watching it. Some of the crime cases have very obvious answers, but others will leave viewers clueless. Dayo is great at talking about how the case is solved, so it is a very good storyline.

Cast:
Dayo Wong - Dayo is exellent in this series. There isn't much bad things you can say about him. He plays a funny character, but he is very smart at the same time. I felt like laughing when he told his jokes. When he has asthma attacks he can play this very realisticly, but at those scenes I couldn't help but laugh because he looks very cute! On his crying scene I think it was very well done because his tears were slowly dropping down and he did it very emotionally. I felt very sorry for him and sad when I saw this scene. The bad thing about Dayo in the series is that he always wears the same jacket so it can sometimes annoy you because it doesn't change.

Ada Choi - Ada was pretty good in this series too. She acted so funny when she was trying to get so many people to sign up for insurance. She made her character really funny and also sometimes serious too. When she was in the serious scenes, I think she was making it too unrealistic. Other than that I think she played a great character. She portrayed the sensible woman who could sometimes go crazy. She was able to adapt to different situations which was wonderful!

Michael Tong - I think Michael in this series played a smaller part but he did it well. In this series he really liked Ada and he was always worried about her and cared for her quite a lot. I felt a bit sorry for him because she didn't like him back the same way. But I think Micheal's acting was good in this series because he can do both serious and hilarious situations very well. This makes him able to do two different faces, the straight one and the relaxed one.

Marco Ngai - The role Marco played was even smaller than Michael's but it was very funny! Especially when he does the dance at the beginning and when he tries to speak Mandarin. I can't really say much negative things about him, but I wish he had a bigger role to play because he wasn't in many scenes.

Overall:
The series on the whole is fantastic because it is hilarious and a lot of fun to watch! You may be disappointed by the ending, but TVB had apparently made two endings. The second ending had been shown on TVB TV as well. I would recommend people that like humour and the solving of different crime cases to watch this series because it's brilliant and really enjoyable!
