Hong Kong Drama - D.I.E (Death Investigation Extension) / 古靈精探




Starhub Channel 55 is currently showing every Monday to Friday, 9pm, this 2008 popular modern mystery/action drama "D.I.E" (25 episodes) which stars Roger Kwok and Sonijia Kwok as police officers investigating strange and challenging cases. I had heard from a friend who had watched the drama online that she really loves this drama for its exciting plots and hubby and i have been hooked to the drama since we watched episode 2 last week. For those without cable TV, you can also watch this interesting drama online at http://www.mysoju.com/die/. The opening theme song is "花樣奇案" sung by Roger Kwok.







The "Death Investigation Extension (D.I.E.)" in the police force was established to accommodate those who have been sent away by their supervisors. As everybody knows, members of the Extension are to investigate unsolved cold cases. Yue Chi Long (Roger Kwok), who has cracked a large number of difficult cases by extrasensory means, is assigned to the D.I.E. because his superiors find him strange for falling asleep constantly on the job. New appointee Ying Ching Ching (Sonija Kwok) is a good-looking girl but she means to act tough and sassy in front of others. Believing that she will get promoted soon, she solves a lot of intriguing cases. Later Ying finds out that her supervisor still has a long way to go before he reaches retirement age. She takes an uncompromising stand over every case she deals with, which leads her into constant quarrels with Long. The relationship between the pair is deteriorating day by day.






Long's elder sister, Yue Chi Ching (Margie Tsang), has been living with him. While investigating an old case, Long gets to find his long-lost father Yue Tai Hoi (Bryan Leung). Through close collaboration with Long, Ching Ching has gradually developed affection for him. As she is still torn between Long and her two-timing boyfriend Shing Ka Tsun (Kenneth Ma), Long has started to try to avoid her without rhyme or reason. Feeling so confused about what is happening, Ching Ching decides to do some probing and is shocked to discover that Long has been dogged by a female ghost called Siu Yi (Kitty Yuen).
