Two cents worth for TVB HKg drama- Eye in the Sky (天眼)

Ever since I've been indulging myself in K-dramas and variety programs, I have sort of forgotten a lot of H-Kg dramas and variety shows. It used to be my favorite but after seeing almost the same actors for decades, I've decided to put it aside and continue my fandom on K-pop and K-dramas. Around the past week, I've ventured myself back into this new TVB drama released online showing across the cable channels, the title was Eye in the Sky 
"天眼" or literally translated as Heaven's Eye. 

I found the main casts to be rather interesting consisting of great actors such as Kevin Cheng, Tavia Yeung, Ruco Chan, Tony Hung, Samantha Ko, Lin Xia Wei, Susan Tse, Vivian Yeo..etc. 

The storyline is in fact intriguing and worth watching compared to previous TVB dramas I've seen before. It tells about an intelligent CID Detective Szeto Sun (played by Kevin Cheng) who was framed for an arson case. Though he is cleared from the case with people still not believing he is innocent, Szeto is determined to catch the real culprit who resembles exactly like him. So he resigns from the police force and works as a Security Manager in a classy hotel. Unknown to him, he has an identical twin brother Lik (played by Ruco Chan) who was involved in a mysterious jewel heist in Phillipines and has been disfigured from a car accident. Along with his best buddy Terry (played by Tony Hung) both escaped and Lik had undergone plastic surgery after the accident. When he stumbles across Szeto at Y-Suite Hotel, he is shocked to discover that he actually has a twin brother with similar looks!

Jan (played by Tavia Yeung) is a private investigator with an excellent photographic memory. At first she is smitten with Szeto's charms and coolness when he first saved her during an heist. When the original Lik shows up at her father's firm requesting to investigate a case, she assumes he is Szeto. After a night of romance with Lik, she thinks Szeto is arrogant by ignoring her when he sees her at an elevator not knowing Szeto hasn't got any clue. Soon she discovers that Szeto is a different person and even takes the initiative to learn observation skills from him. Lik is thrilled when he is been acknowledged by his real parents and finally reunites with his happy family. Szeto is working hard to find out the truth why people are chasing after him for the stolen jewel. Lik is Mr.Nice Guy in front of his colleagues and family, but deep down inside he harbours revenge for those who made his life miserable. Lik tries to win over Jan when she only likes Szeto who doesn't reciprocate her feelings since he realizes both of them are into the same girl.

As time passes by, Lik is worried that Szeto might eventually find out the real truth about his ugly past and the wrongdoings he plotted along with Terry.

What a blast of story...there are some episodes which cracked me up when the Y-Suite Hotel CEO's nephew Wai and his loser friend Fate sucks up to the boss and the playboy Terry tries to make the stern Lau Si housekeeping manager fall for him. I like this kind of story of twins...mysterious backgrounds and past, cases...etc. 

Both leads are great at delivering their characters...Ruco is perfect in being the main villain while Kevin at his best in playing the cool headed Szeto-sir. The women leads are fine... Susan Tse is exceptional in playing as the romantic novelist with her Pekingnese dog in the hotel. I have to say these 2 men were great in their roles. What more can you ask for them to keep up to that image and look at their age... man! I am impressed at how Kevin could still look so good in his 40s though he lost a lot of weight.
