Synopsis: (edited from Wikipedia)
Kingsley 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 Gordon, a Senior Police Inspector at Regional Crime Unit, Kingsley assists in cracking many mysterious crime cases and he also meets Xiao Li during the process. The rational Kingsley evaluates that he has fallen in love with Li because of a neurotransmitter called phenethylamine. However, owing to the huge difference in their family background and life value, Kingsley fails to tackle their ever-changing relationship problems with formulas. In the end, due to life changing experiences, Kingsley realizes that love cannot be rationalized and finally admits that his feelings to Li are true.
On the other hand, the romantic and uninhibited Gordon has been maintaining a sex only relationship with journalist Nickole. Gordon 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 Nickole is going to get married.
Slacker's review:
The first thing which came into my mind is..."Is this the HK version of 'Galileo'?" Anyway, the storyline is something new in HK dramas, but romance development was standard HK-style. I liked the individual cases, but romance b/w Kingsley and Xiao Li was a bit tiring...thanks to both families as well. Lolz!
Raymond's performance was quite good here. Very gentleman, and very handsome. Haha! However, his expressions were quite woody. (That's because Kingsley is one boring guy!) Chemistry with Tavia was not too bad, but they actually don't have too many scenes together.
Kenneth's character was more interesting, and he had so many bed scenes with different ladies! Lucky guy! Haha! I prefer to see a more serious Kenneth though. Chemistry with Bernice was good, and that's because they had the most romance scenes.
Tavia's performance was pretty standard, but I didn't like Xiao Li after she was ditched by Kingsley. I don't like to see woman who cried endlessly...lolz!
I never liked Bernice, but she's not bad here. Charismatic and confident.
Theme song is "Zhi Dao Ni Bu Zhao Wo" by Raymond Lam.
