The show starts off with the younger versions of Song-Yee, Hee-Won and Hyun-Sung at elementary school. Song-Yee quite obviously likes Hyun-Sung, and when Hee-Won finds out about it, she tells Song-Yee that she will not like the same guy Song-Yee likes. Later, during a class exercise, when the teacher asks the children to choose a boy to sit with for the new seating arrangement, Song-Yee immediately grabs Hyun-Sung's hand. Hyun-Sung is startled, but it is Song-Yee's turn to be surprised when Hee-Won walks right up to the two of them and extends her hand to Hyun-Sung. She then kindly states that he doesn't have to go with her (Hee-Won) if he doesn't want to. Hyun-Sung takes a moment, looks at Song-Yee who forcefully took his hand, then looks to Hee-Won who gently proposed to take his. Making his choice, he breaks away from Song-Yee and takes Hee-Won's hand. Naturally, Song-Yee isn't too happy about this. Furious, she throws her shoe at Hee-Won and then proceeds to beat her up.

The show then fast forwards to years later, when the children have grown up...

After a somewhat disastrous school play, Song-Yee gets fired from her job. Song-Yee, a member of the school staff, has the children perform an altered version of Patji and Kongji, where Patji in fact wins the prince's love after he discovers that Kongji, the pretty one, is manipulative and fake. Turning this classic folk tale upside down upsets the school and the parents, resulting in her being fired. Hee-Won, seeing that she needs new employment, helps Song-Yee to get a job at the amusement park where she works. (This amusement park is very obviously in many respects modeled after Everland.) There, Song-Yee is given the job as a mascot, having to wear a hot suit with a huge head (think Mickey Mouse at Disney World). Song-Yee, who is naturally hot-tempered, doesn't enjoy this job too much, and is seen by Hyun-Sung (who also works at the amusement park) and his friend, Yang Sam-Yeol, bullying some kids after they touched her chest. After an initial chase, they catch her and are surprised to find out she's a girl.

The two boys are waiting for Song-Yee after she gets changed into her regular clothes, and Hyun-Sung and Song-Yee get into a verbal fight. It is then that Hee-Won comes up to the both of them, calms them down, and walks off with Song-Yee. Hyun-Sung pauses for a moment, then remembers Hee-Won and chases after them. As he talks with Hee-Won, Song-Yee realizes who Hyun-Sung is and is a little hurt he doesn't remember her, but doesn't have time to dwell on it as Hyun-Sung and Hee-Won go off to catch up with each other.

It isn't only Hyun-Sung who likes Hee-Won, though. His friend, Sam-Yeol, fell for her at first sight and schemes to make Hee-Won fall for him by pretending to like Song-Yee. Over the next few days, Hyun-Sung and Song-Yee continue to have confrontations, though he begins to see a somewhat gentler side of her as she really thinks that Sam-Yeol likes her. Needless to say, when she finds out that he only pretended to like her because he wanted Hee-Won, she doesn't take it very well and once again decides to unleash her wrath.

While planning to merely do a little damage to a float, she inadvertently causes it to catch on fire as Seung-Joon is taking it for a spin. Seeing that he needs help, she ends up saving him and causing him to fall in love with the "angel" who rescued him. He doesn't know who she is, but has her coat and so he uses that to look for her. In addition to winning Seung-Joon's affection, Hyun-Sung begins to see her in a new light as they eventually become friends. Hee-Won, seeing that two men have fallen for Song-Yee, proceeds to do what she does best, and tries her hardest to steal Seung-Joon from her while making Song-Yee look bad in the process, though Seung-Joon might be harder to steal than she originally expected. And is Seung-Joon the one Song-Yee really wants to be with?

Yang Song-Yee: Jang Nara Yang Song-Yee is our Patji of the show. She is hot-tempered and does not hide her thoughts. Hence, her forthright personality often brings her loads of trouble as many misunderstandings are caused by her candidness.


Kim Hyun-Sung: Kim Rae Won Kim Hyun-Sung is a seal trainer working at the amusement park. He has a heart problem and hides it from others. Because of this, he vows not to fall in love again, as he thinks that his ill health will bring agony to the other party.


Eun Hee-Won: Hong Eun-Hee Eun Hee-won is the nice, pretty Konji that everybody likes. However, deep down, she is scheming, and tries in lots of ways to hurt Song-Yee.


Kang Seung-Joon: Kim Jaewon Kang Seung-joon is the son of a rich amusement park owner. He falls in love with Song-Yee as he thinks that she is a good girl who does not try to hide her real self.

Comments : I cried mostly throughout the series becauze of Jang Nara I felt so bad for her and the way she was treated and blamed on just for one incident that she tried to do to get back at her childhood friend. I also loved the relationship btween Song Yee and Hyun Sung. I also felt so bad for Seung Joon becauze he felt a bit lied to and didnt really know SongYee so well. The thing that disappointed me ish that he and Song Yee had to breakup after the 'fire incident' was revealed to the public and for this their relationship ended quickly. :sniff: But all in all the drama was very good and very short but at least it was at point and didnt really drag on much. so that was good.

Kevin Cheng as bomb disposal specialist Ivan Yeung in Forensic Heroes II.

Earlier this month, TVB organized a drama sales presentation, introducing the upcoming year's drama productions. While the popular and critically successful Forensic Heroes series was announced to be filming a third season, original main cast Bobby Au-yeung, Frankie Lam, Yoyo Mung, etc. are nowhere to be seen. Instead, Kevin Cheng gives a solo appearance, causing netizens to come together to criticize the upcoming production, also remarking, "If there's no Bobby they shouldn't film it!"

Every year, the TVB Anniversary Awards are seen as an important event for the television world. TVB's sales presentation is also equally treated to be important. Earlier on TVB introduced the upcoming year's drama program lineup, which included the soon-to-film Forensic Heroes III. Bobby Au-yeung and Frankie Lam, who were part of the original main cast of the series, are nowhere to be seen for the third installment. Kevin Cheng's recurring character Ivan Yeung in Forensic Heroes II, however, is instead shown as the main lead in the upcoming production.

In 2006, Bobby Au-yeung and Frankie Lam's Forensic Heroes achieved high ratings of 38 points. Two years later the original cast, with the addition of Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh, came together for a second season, which also garnered high ratings. Wanting to continue the success, TVB is already preparing for a third season. Unfortunately, the first and second generation cast is nowhere to be seen, including second generation cast member and Kevin Cheng's rumored girlfriend Charmaine Sheh. There is speculation that the reason why Charmaine Sheh is left out of the list is due to the fact that the audience might grow uninterested to the pair after their appearances together in both Forensic Heroes II and Beyond the Realm of Conscience. Aside Kevin Cheng's solo appearance in Forensic Heroes III, female cast members are also reduced to only Mandy Cho, Leanne Li, and Vivienne Yeo.

Many claim that Bobby Au-yeung is the trademark of Forensic Heroes. His absence in the third season disgruntled the audience. Recently many netizens came together in forums to discuss their disappointments in the third installment, claiming that the new production is like "hanging a goat's head but selling dog meat." Other netizens remarked that the absence of Bobby Au-yeung and Frankie Lam in the Forensic Heroes series is like without Ron Ng and Sammul Chan for the The Academy series. Netizen TENMA said, "What the hell? Can it not be called Forensic Heroes III? It stinks up the name!" Another netizen ken715 remarked, "If they're cutting out Bobby and Frankie, it shouldn't be called Forensic Heroes III. It ruins the name!" Other netizens remarked that as long as there is the Forensic Heroes series there should be Bobby Au-yeung, claiming Bobby to be the image of the series.

Reporters phoned Bobby Au-yeung's manager, asking if the reason of his absence in the series is due to schedule conflicts. She honestly replied "Actually, no one ever contacted us about it. (Forensic Heroes III only includes Kevin Cheng?) Maybe they think he's more suitable. I think it's better if you ask the producer." However, the drama's producer Mui Siu-ching is busy preparing the script, and could not be contacted.

Comments : I cant believe Bobby and Frankie wont be in the third installment. :( Instead some other casts will appear in it instead even Yoyo Mung not going to be in it. Just make it kinda on down low that not much people will be viewing this series. I really wanted Bobby and Frankie to be in it. Without them the title 'Forensic Heroes' isnt so suitable for the 3rd installment. But I see that Kevin Cheng will be in it. I hope he plays the bomb dispossable guy (same role as the 2nd installment.) But yeah. Anyways hope everything will be okay and the series will be as good as the 1st and 2nd.

When Wui Man was 2 years old, his family moved to Hong Kong. He went to elementary and junior high school in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, his dad’s, Lam Wah Kwok, career started to develop in Xiamen [so Raymond lived in HK, and his dad in Xiamen]. Raymond’s grandpa is Taiwanese. He loves his grandchild [Raymond], and so does Raymond vice versa. Because living in a family with different dialects, Raymond was taught how to speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and Taiwanese.

According to some confirmed and unconfirmed sources, since little Lam Wui Man loves cartoon [anime], singing, and art. Therefore, it was the reason why he left the university to enter the entertainment industry.

According to a source, when he was 15 years old, he went to the home of Chu Pong Bo [a very famous female singer in Shanghai, China] by himself to ask her if she can take him in as her student; he lived at her house to study music.

Chu Pong Bo’s impression on Lam Wui Man was: “I remember on that day, someone knocked on my door, and when I opened the door, I saw a young boy with a backpack on and fair clothing [it’s like his clothing weren’t rich nor poor looking]. He politely greeted me and said, “Excuse me madam, I have come to ask you if I can be your student and learn music.”

Lam Wui Man has grown, and changed his name to Lam Yat Fung during his high school years. He stands at 180cm or 5’11”. His skin was very tanned. He often joined singing competitions at school. The honorable thing is that Yat Fung received and gained the recognition of “The top 10 best voices of the school.” With this title, Wui Man became the “popular boy” having to answer his fans’ mails to the point where his hand became tired, he had to ask his friends to help him.

When he finished high school, Lam Yat Fung went to study abroad in Southern California at University of Southern California [it is a private school] He was majoring in architecture as to take over his dad’s business one day, and minored in music. At this time, Yat Fung, again, changed his name to Lam Fung with an English name, Raymond [he used to have another English name before sticking with Raymond…it was Leon].

However, he attended college for only one year. In the summer, after his first year in college, he flew back to Hong Kong. Because of Chan Kwoon Ming's words, a friend of Raymond’s dad, Raymond gave up on achitecture, and joined TVB. He introduced Raymond to go into TVB 13th acting class [with Tavia Yeung, Patrick Tang Yeung Ming]. Raymond joined the TVB family at the age of 18.

Raymond's words: There had been rumors saying that he's Li Hau Wor (one of the TVB owners)'s godson, Raymond honestly replied:

"Actually, my father knows Chan Kwoon Ming, who was one of the actors manager in the past. In 1998, we had a dinner together, and Mr. Chan asked me if I have any interest in being an actor. I've always knew that I'm not the type to do business, and since Mr. Chan thought I have the potential, I decided to join the training class. I worked hard by myself, without any help from others. Acting is my first job, and the one I'm most familar with, if I don't act, I don't know what else I can do, and I know that I still have a lot to learn."

Music Industry:

Raymond signed with EEG Record Company under the EEG Music Plus label in 2007. Although Raymond has always showed interest and ability in singing (from his many TVB theme/subtheme songs), his TVB schedule has always conflicted with recording an album. However, TVB arranged for him to start recording his first album in the summer of 2007. His debut album Searching For You In Loving Memories was released on 23 November 2007. His debut album came in three covers, all with CD+DVD (10 all-new tracks and 2 music videos). More than 20,000 copies of the album were sold and additional copies had to be reprinted. Three weeks after the release of the album, Raymond received the IFPI Gold Disc. Some of the major awards Raymond received are the Jade Solid Gold's Best Male Newcomer Gold Award (he has expressed that he has always desired to win this award since a singer can only be a newcomer once) and an IFPI award for top album sales among the Newcomer category.

On 10 September 2008, he released his second album named Your Love featuring "愛不疚" (Love With No Regrets) from Moonlight Resonance. There are two covers for this album, one featuring Raymond with a cat and another with a clock. In this album, Raymond sang a duet with Vincy Chan called "明天以後" (After Tomorrow) in two versions (one in Cantonese and the other in Mandarin). In October 10, 2008, a month after the release of the album, Raymond received double of the IFPI Platinum Disc award for reaching an album sales of more than 60,000 copies. The sales exceeded that of his first album and additional copies had to be reprinted. A second edition with a DVD of 3 music videos was released on September 24, 2008 due to the success of the first edition; the original versions were no longer printed. His third album "Let's Get Wet" was released on June 15, 2009.

In addition to album releases, Raymond has released singles as theme and sub-theme songs for TVB series, including "記得忘記" (Eternal Happiness), "忘記傷害" (Survivors' Law), "心呼吸" (The Last Breakthrough), "愛在記憶中找你" (The Drive of Life), "浮生若水" (The Master of Tai Chi) and "愛不疚" (Moonlight Resonance).
Raymond Lam held a concert at Hong Kong Coliseum on June 17-18, 2009, with guests Miriam Yeung, Wong Cho Lam, FAMA, Charlene Choi and Michael Tse. The concert DVD sales has reached platinum status.
