Forensic Heroes 2

In HK drama, review on June 28, 2008 by Michelle

Forensic Heroes 2 was a little better than the first only by a little. The introduction of Bell Ma into the series was very nice, though she wasn’t too likable in the beginning. She was a little cold and isolated, but after she started opening up, she became more interesting and turned into one of my favorites. The addition of Ivan into the forensic team was amazing too, personally because I like his role and character very much. The loss of Ding-Ding was heartbreaking because I really liked her. But her loss only turned Sam’s role into a roller coaster and led to the cruel insight of life for many people. This series was less focused on solving cases, but more into the relationship of the characters; which isn’t all too bad, it was pretty enjoyable still.

The last two episodes were by far the best in the series because of the love between Ivan and Bell. It was so touching and so fairytale like and it was the sunshine after the rain. :) For a while, I was absolutely heartbroken for Ivan because I thought Bell was going to leave him for Sam, but she didn’t. They only got closer together after the car accident. The last episode further proved my love for the character Ivan to be worthy because he practically cared after Sam more than he cared about himself. They were on a boat together setting it up so Ivan can propose to Bell on it and then Sam sat on a chair that had a bomb attached under it, which started the bomb. It was so intense. Ivan tried to stop it, but he only made it worse. He forced Sam to leave, but Sam wouldn’t leave without Ivan. So Ivan tricked Sam into thinking they would both make it out, but inside Ivan knew that he most likely wouldn’t. Well it turned out that Sam left fine and just as Ivan let go of the bomb to run, Bell arrives on the pier and sees the ship blow up. Ivan wasn’t dead though! He was just in a coma. Honestly, a character like Ivan is almost impossible to find in reality and I truly loved the role he played. I also liked Bell’s too. The reason behind that is, she started a press conference and on there she “vomited” like she was pregnant to lure the killer out (the killer was envious of Bell and Ivan because the killer’s partner was killed and she thought she was pregnant with her boyfriend’s baby, but she wasn’t) and it failed the first time, but the killer ended up at the police station. Well, it turns out that the “trick” Bell played wasn’t really a trick, she was actually pregnant! I cringed on the edge of my seat when the killer brought Bell up to the top of the building and then kicked Bell in the stomach. Well anyway, some stuff happened and then Sam pushed the killer away from Bell but they both tipped over the edge and they were free-falling, Sam caught onto something so he was okay, but the killer just fell to the bottom and died. Bell was still able to keep the baby, but Ivan was still in his coma. Then the whole series ends with Tim and Madam Leung’s wedding and Bell is there pretty pregnant at that point and she gets a phone call then goes into tears and drops the phone. She runs away from the wedding and everybody is confused, then Sam’s phone rings and he says “Ivan woke up.” The end.

I personally thought it was stupid how Bell ran considering she was pregnant and she was holding onto her stomach for dear life. I didn’t really like how it ended, it could’ve been more thorough with the whole Ivan thing, that ending didn’t serve him justice at all!

Well okay, this was supposed to be professional, but it failed.
