Synopsis:
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.

Kingsley King (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 Gordon (Kenneth Ma), Senior Inspector of Police at Regional Crime Unit, Kingsley assists in cracking many mysterious crime cases and he also meets policewoman Sai Lei Mui /犀利妹 (Tavia Yeung) during the process. The rational Kingsley evaluates that he has fallen in love with Sai Lei Mui because of a neurotransmitter called phenylethylamine*. 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 Sai Lei Mui are true.

On the other hand, the romantic and uninhibited Gordon has been maintaining a sex only relationship with the journalist Nickole (Bernice Liu). 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.

*phenylethylamine - As Kingsley and Sai Lei Mui spends a lot of time together during their investigations on mysteries-crime, chemistry broke out between them eventually. Kingsley used this physics term to explain his 'love' for Sai Lei Mui when he offered the break-up.


Review:
This is one of the not-bad 2010 drama series I've watched.
But still not the best I've watched.
Great and fresh concept for the mystery part as they turned out to be unexpected for me.
But some were really '老更', I knew what's gonna happen..
So, very contradicting on the freshness side though.
As for acting part, I think Lau Kar Ho really did a great job there, having the casts arranged so well.
Raymond Lam's just being himself, the feel is there, perfectly well.
Tavia Yeung suits her role for being a strong & righteous yet gentle policewoman.
Kenneth Ma & Bernice Liu also had their roles illustrated adequately well.
