Note: I will refer to Kevin Cheng's character as Szeto Shun and Ruco Chan's character as Nik. In the series Tavia Yeung is called 'Jan' but I'll refer to her as 'Jenny' because it suits her Chinese name better.
Episode 6.
Back to the scene where Terry, Nik and grandma go 'phew'. Nik has a headache and Terry grabs him ice water. "I'm terribly sorry. If only I knew that she was the gangster's girlfriend I wouldn't have touched her".
A bit too late to say that now.
Nik dives his head to the bucket and we get flashbacks to when Nik didn't have plastic surgery yet. Flashbacks show the scene when the fake Szeto Sir (a.k.a Nik) committed arson. The people from that unit rush out of the place and Nik goes inside to rescue Terry whose legs were badly beaten.
They manage to escape and head towards Manilla, Indonesia. They now want to steal a very precious jewellery worth five billion dollars and it jumps to the scene where they manage to steal the jewellery even with fires of bullets behind them.
Well, they didn't become billionaires for long as a mysterious person shoots towards their car and they to leave. They try to run away except the mysterious figure shoots the car and it explodes, and a flare lands on Nik's face!
90% of Nik's face is badly burned and it took twenty operations before he got the Ruco face.
Pause. Even with plastic surgery this doesn't explain why Nik's voice suddenly changed. The answer is obviously because Ruco's voice is different to Kevin's. One may ask why can't you just dub Ruco's voice to when Kevin was acting the fake Szeto and I agree they could of dubbed his voice but that would mean we would know that Ruco was the twin brother from the first minute. Anyway I don't care about this anymore so let's move on.
Continue. Flashbacks gone and now they explain why they are staying at the hotel now. They heard news that the jewellery was located at the hotel boss's place and while they were taking photos of the hotel they see Szeto Shun. Frankly I didn't think Ruco looked shocked enough and neither did the script do better. Wouldn't Nik know about Szeto's existence with news of Szeto's trial on the press or news or whatever? This didn't make much sense, especially when Jenny was talking to Nik about his experience as a policeman and Nik should of found it weird how Jenny thought he was someone.
Anyway Nik was deliberately trying to meet Szeto Shun (the scene in the shopping mall) where he tried to chase a creepy guy trying to film a girl. Nik also deliberately ate in the same place as Shun and as Shun went to pay he would of taken a sample of his germs by wiping his chopsticks to a tissue. He would also deliberately pretend he badly needs to go to the toilet when in fact he wanted to go to his house and get a sample of a hair from the bathroom. Nik takes these samples to the doctor and tests prove that they are indeed biological twin brothers.
Hong Kong must have hardly any hotels for Nik to target a hotel where Shun was working.
Moving on Nik visits Shun's house and he now becomes close with his parents who of course don't know Nik is their son. Nik looks at a photo of Shun as a policeman and Shun's parents talk about how he was born to be a policeman but what a pity he is not a policeman now.
Pause. Ruco did well by looking like he looks sorry for how he's caused all this trouble to Szeto from the arson case.
Continue. Shun's parents then talk about how Shun's life was outstanding and how he outshined people. Ruco thought back about the memories of how his adopted parents passed away and he lived a rough life by himself until he meet Terry. Shun's parents see him looking teary and go "Sorry we forgot your childhood was an orphan in the welfare centre". They try to make Nik happy again by inviting him for a game of Wii and they play tennis til midnight.
Nik looks at his watch and goes, "Late now, need to head back home now" but they urge him to stay and offer him to sleepover the house. Nik happily accepts their offer and at midnight Nik holds the Szeto family photo and goes, "I hope one day I will eventually get to reunite with you all".
Pause. A short but nice scene that proves Ruco is masterful when it comes to expressing his emotions and thoughts without having to go overboard or exaggerate. If he consistently shows his fine acting I know one day he will get TV King (that's only if he gets a signature role that everyone likes).
Continue. The scene jumps to Jenny visiting the grand-opening of Agatha's detective agency and the promotion clip was indirectly insulting and criticising Detective George's method to investigate cases (I found that quite funny). Detective George was actually there and he tried to snatch Agatha's potential customer who wanted them to follow her daughter.
They make a deal that whoever gets to know about the daughter's mysterious agenda will win and both parties agree. Game on.
Szeto visits Jenny and recommends her to venture out somewhere to make good use of her photographic memory and Agatha says so as well. Detective George heard them and tells Jenny "Fine leave my detective agency and you work for Agatha." Jenny of course goes "No I want to be with you daddy".
Pause. I like how Jenny is a fillal daughter who wants to stick to her daddy no matter what and I know Daddy George deliberately did that so Jenny can enhance her career.
Continue. Back to some serious stuff and in the hotel they host a social event known as "Meeting you in the dark". The hotel boss had to go to a charity event that night so he told the security guards to take care of the event. Nik visits Terry's room and tells him that this is the best opportunity to sneak into the "blind man's" room to find the precious jewellery.
Terry tries to flirt with Miss Zhu who basically tried to resist his flirtation but eventually got charmed by all those compliments and walks away secretly smiling and decides to attend the "Meeting you in the dark" social event.
Szeto and Nik was trying to investigate a cigarette smell in a room and they got locked out by Fan Fate and the hotel manager. The two of them (Fan Fate and hotel manager) activate their so-called materplan to lock Shun and Nik out so that when something goes wrong in the social event they can blame them for not being there and thus get fired.
Their plan obviously didn't work as Nik knows how to open doors using a wire (useful when he was a thief). Terry and the Miss Zhu have a dinner date and Nik tells him to hurry up and get her drunk. Terry asked if she likes the hotel boss's bed and she said yes it's very comfortable and so Terry takes her to the hotel room. Nik tries to distract everyone by giving him tasks and keep their eyes off the Eye in the Sky (CCTV) and manipulates the cameras by trimming the time Terry took her to the room. Terry manages to get inside the room and was trying to hack into the safe. Suddenly, the hotel boss arrived at the hotel since the charity event finished early. Nik tried to hog time by reporting the hotel boss about the incident in the hotel but the girl hotel worker said she already reported the incident to the hotel boss. The hotel boss subsequently got back into his room and he was directly facing Terry!
End. Nice cliffhanger.
Everyone did well so kudos to everyone but Tony Hung got some screentime during the last scene where he displayed some decent acting. His flirting scenes were convincing, his panicking seemed real when the hotel boss was arriving. Tony can sure act and I think he is doing a good job with a supporting role.
I am still buttsore as to how Tavia's role is now a boring fillal daughter even though she is doing ok. Ruco and Kevin are still the highlights of this show.
This series is now like still enjoyable and entertaining to watch but the storyline and sequence of events has all been too convenient that makes it look unrealistic and half-baked. Am still tempted to watch the rest of this series though.
