Editor's Review
I really wanted to like this drama, but unfortunately, it falls short. Charlene Choi portrays JD, a brilliant forensic scientist who excels at her job but lacks social skills. Her character is reminiscent of Temperance Brennan from the US TV series “Bones,” but without the same sex appeal. The plot throws JD into random situations that often make little sense, leaving viewers scratching their heads. The contrived storytelling had me feeling dizzy at times.
Joseph Chang plays Liu Chi Ming, the male lead. Unlike the charming Seeley Booth from “Bones,” Liu is a hot-headed detective who struggles to get things right. The chemistry between the two leads is lacking, making it difficult to invest in their relationship. Joseph’s constant use of Mandarin when interacting with Cantonese-speaking characters becomes grating, especially since his character lacks charm. He often comes across as a bull in a china shop, throwing poorly delivered Cantonese phrases at people.
The drama does have some redeeming factors. Legendary TVB actors Law Kar Ying, Kenny Wong, and Michael Tao add depth to the cast. However, their performances alone couldn’t salvage the overall experience. Other supporting characters felt lackluster.
In summary, “Forensic JD” had potential but failed to deliver. If you’re a fan of forensic science dramas, you might find some enjoyment here, but be prepared for a bumpy ride. The lack of chemistry between the leads and the convoluted plot hindered its success.
