So, I may be the only person left who's still working on 疲子英雄。 It's not exactly good, but it's gotten plenty Tropperiffic, a They Fight Crime with Triang Relations and a decent Conspiracy Kitchen Sink full of Super Soldiers at the middle. (A conspiracy, it should be noted, named after french president Sarkozy.)警察
I do love that 疲子英雄 managed to combine the classic soap opera tropes "Magic Plastic Surgery," "Incest is Relative," and "It's Personal" all in one character and still make him likable instead of annoyingly simpering. Which is a testament to Vic Zhou's acting skills, given he plays the worst Wingman ever when Mark Zhao's on screen being angry.
Which, it happens, is most of every episode. I like Mark Zhao as an actor, but his depth is largely limited to "HELLO I AM YING XIONG. MY NAME IS UNIRONICALLY PROPHETIC. I AM A SIMMERING BALL OF FLAMING JUSTICE WHO IS CAN'T KEEP HIS BIG MOUTH SHUT. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ME IN EVERY BUDDY COP MOVIE EVER. NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO GO SIMMER."
Except when you put him on screen with Ivy Chen, at which point he remembers how to act and have chemistry.
I may be looking forward to the hot sex scene.
