Synopsis
Tim Sir (Au-Yeung) and the police force are in charge of solving murder cases. Siu Yau (Yoyo Mung) is the head of her department. Sam (Frankie Lam) is a doctor whose responsibility is to find out the victims' causes of death and other health-related jobs. Ding Ding (Linda Chung) is an investigator who helps to solve cases.
In between these cases, the characters of this story have a lot of personal issues to deal with. Yvonne (Florence Kwok) finds that her husband has been cheating on her because she does not want to have children. Kong Jai (Fred Cheng) develops a crush on Ding Ding, but soon finds out that she likes Sam. Tim Sir's wife, Charlie (Jay Lau) dies after being accidentally poisoned by a nurse. Although Tim says he is not ready for another serious relationship, he develops feelings for Siu Yau and vice versa.
Sam meets a young girl named Mon (Natalie Tong), who has been taking many wrong paths in her life and he is helping her to get her life back on track. Sam writes books about crime-solving and murder, which Mon enjoys very much. What Sam does not know is that Mon has strong feelings for him. Mon is jealous of Ding Ding because Sam is dating her. But one particular day, the police force is called to a very strange case. The murder victims have been killed in the same way the victims were in Sam's books! When the force begins to suspect Mon - they find her dead. Who is this strange serial killer and why are they killing people following Sam's books?
MY WORDS
Forensic Heroes looked like the typical criminal investigation series TVB and other channels had done before. But after watching it, I think that Bobby Au-Yeung, who excels in these type of crime investigation leader roles, was once again great, making the series more than just watchable.
Of course, Frankie Lam, who sang the main theme, Linda Chung and Florence Kwok also were great. Forensic Heroes is a bit like CSI but I think much better suited for my tastes as Forensic Heroes' brighter lighting creates a clean and less omnious environment. I mean, serious crime investigation and forensic scientists, you don't want to get more creepier.
So, I rate Forensic Heroes (2006):
4.85 out of 5

Lee Jun Ki - One Word
OK, despite the fact that after watching My Girl, I said I liked Lee Dong Wook more, I actually figured that Lee Jun Ki is COOOL!!!!!!!!! Anyways, I <3 Lee Jun Ki (and Lee Dong Wook, so don't worry).Well, as I was looking at Lee Jun Ki photos on the net, I found this:
One Word or Let Me Say One Word. By Lee Jun Ki. It's sooooo nice!
Konglish Lyrics:
LET ME SAY A WORD
Lee Jun Ki
Hanmadiman nor saranghandago
Hanmadiman…
[verse I]
Nor suchin baram nar suchil tende
Nar bichun hessar nor bichul tende
Nowana gathun sesang sogeso darun sesangur sanabwa
Nomu bogoshiposso jakku aphun gasumi
No obnun nae mosubi cham gayowo
Chago namyon bichorom buronan gurium
Michil dushi nor chatgo inunde
[chorus]
Hanmadiman nor sarang handago
Hanmadiman dorawa dallago
Gasume chan malboda monjo nunmuri hullo
Hanmadiman mothanchae nor nohchyo ganabwa
[verse II]
Gormaso thojyo naonun sarang
Ddo sumur gotdo obnabwa
Ibyorun cham geullo nor bonaenun got kajido
Onjena nae-illo mirwoji janhi
Nae shigenun momchodo no tonaganungol
Armyonsodo nor gidarijanha
[chorus]
Hanmadiman nor sarang handago
Hanmadiman dorawa dallago
Gasume chan malboda monjo nunmuri hullo
Hanmadiman mothanchae nor nohchyo ganabwa
[bridge]
Hajimothanmar boda ddo gasum aphungon
Noege kog dudgo shipunde kutnae naega dudji mothanmar…
Hanmadiman nar saranghaetdago
Hanmadiman haengbok haessotdago
Huhoega ddo huhoe dwae miryoni mironyi dwae
Oddohge nor itgeni niga nar ijyodo…
Love Rachel.

마이걸 - My Girl [2005]
Well, let's jump right into the dramas! Of course, being the trendiest and most up-to-date drama critics on the net, our reviews, synopses etc are bound to be the most accurate. So let us start with the Korean dramas that hit the world and caused what we call, the "Korean wave".Of course, when we think of Korean drama, how could we not think of My Girl. Airing late 2005, this drama has not only been extremely extremely extremely popular in Korea, but also in the rest of the world. I'm hearing you say, Korean drama is actually only popular in Asia, no where else. But that is NOT CORRECT. Teenagers in Australia, Canada, England, France - everywhere - people are watching these amazingly PERFECT DRAMAS.
Now, to the actual info.
Cast
Seol Gong Chan 설공찬 by Lee Dong Wook 이동욱 [ my absolute favourite celebrity]
Ju Yu Rin 주유린 by Lee Da Hae 이다해
Kim Se Hyon 김세현 by Park Si Hyeon 박시연
Soh Jong Woo 소정우 by Lee Joon Ki 이준기
Review
Produced and distributed by SBS, My Girl is just the best. For those who like tragedies, there's the sad stuff you want in it. For those who like comedies, there's hilarious moments in this drama. Basically, it's an allrounder, with absolutely perfect music and unbelievably attractive cast. Lee Dong Wook just absolutely rocks, with the best facial features for a guy and he is just HOT! Of course, Lee Da Hae, her acting is absolutely stunning. How is it possible for someone to not be embarrassed in front of all those cameras? Just a little sneak preview: Lee Da Hae has to sing and half dance in more than one of the scenes and it is just HILARIOUS! Now to Park Si Hyeon, although I would not consider her as pretty as Lee Da Hae, she was Miss. Korea, and her acting skills are undeniable. Although, as I said before, she is not as pretty as Da Hae, her acting is plain good. But we mus say, her cast is not the most challenging of the four. Last but not least, there's Lee Jun Ki, who is widely known for his "prettiness". You may be wondering, why are all the main characters related to being pretty? Well, there is probably a simple answer to that - celebrities are meant to look perfect. Anyway, back to Lee Jun Ki, his acting is so good! He totally falls into the character of Soh Jong Woo, portraying him perfectly. In one of the NGs (or bloopers if you like), there is one with Lee Jun Ki, and he is crying too much in this shot, resulting in a second take. Just an example of how awesome his acting was.
Of course, the plot. The plot is original. I have never watched anything like it in my life, but I'll probably see heaps of duplicates now, due to My Girl's popularity. Basically, the plot is about a girl called Ju Yu Rin (played by Lee Da Hae), who has been to many different countries, because of her father, who simply loves to gamble. As we can all predict, her father has many debts, which is the reason for Yu Rin living in many different countries when she was a child. She has learnt to live by lying, about anything and everything. In the first scene, we are told that she is a tourist guide, who doesn't actually have a license. Her tour group is running late, and she must stop the plane from leaving to Seoul from Jae Joo Island, so she lies to the airport staff that she is majorly sick (as in, she'll die anytime), and that she has decided to let her boyfriend go away from her, so that he can live happily ever after, and that she has not told him about her illness. The airport staff and other people in the airport are greatly moved by her lie, and let her go on the aeroplane. As she walks through the plane, which, does not contain her boyfriend (since she doesn't even have one in the first place). As she gets closer to the first class compartment, she gets more and more frustrated. She mumbles to herself, "Why aren't they here yet?". She reaches the first class compartment and, because the airport staff have realised that her boyfriend is not actually on this plane, ask her to now leave the plane. The passengers from her tour group have now arrived at the airport. Yu Rin then decides to fake faint. Here, she meets Seol Gong Chan for the first time, and Gong Chan sees right through her lie and whispers to her, "If I were you I'd leave now" and forces her hand off the armrest of his chair, where she is clinging on to. She is then piggy-backed off the plane and she sees the people from her tour group boarding the plane. THis is the first scene. Sounds good?
This drama is just too good, so I'm not going to tell you guys any more - you GOT to WATCH it!
Now for the pictures:
And now, lastly, the Original Sound Track!
