    *****Spoilers*****

    Acclaimed producer Lee Tim Sing’s (李添勝) Bullet Brain <神探高倫布> will air on Monday, April 8. The period fantasy drama stars Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) as Detective Columbo, the slow-witted police officer who transforms into a brilliant detective after he gets shot in the head. The series also stars rising artists Ngo Ka Nin (敖嘉年), Sire Ma (馬賽), Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), and Natalie Tong (唐詩詠).

    Heavy taste, a recent Hong Kong slang term that is used to describe visual media that depicts elements of graphic violence, sexuality, and other disturbing, adult-friendly genres, will be briefly touched upon in this 25-episode serial.

    In the latest issue of Sudden Weekly, the magazine spoiled some shocking plot details of Bullet Brain. Although these “heavily tasted” spoilers are neither very bold nor too extreme for TV, some can be quite alarming.

    First Five Episodes

    Wayne leaves the countryside to become a police officer in Hong Kong. His best friend Ka Nin, also a police officer, shows him around Hong Kong and takes him out to eat. At the restaurant, an escort, portrayed by Snow Suen (孫慧雪), is invited to dine with them. Snow touches Wayne’s leg and feels up to his crotch.

    Soon afterwards, Wayne is rushed to the hospital after getting shot in the head in order to protect Ka Nin. Wayne miraculously survives in the crossfire, but the bullet fragments that are trapped inside his head triggers the area of the brain that specializes in intelligence. Wayne’s IQ rapidly rises from 100 to 283, and he turns into a brilliant but cold-blooded detective who has a 99 percent crime clearance rate. Wayne will occasionally suffer from seizures; when they occur, memories of him as his old self will flash into his head. He will also have memories of Natalie, his first love.

    Natalie, Wayne’s childhood sweetheart, never had true feelings for Wayne. Natalie loathed her life in the countryside and only had eyes for money. After meeting a rich heir, she harshly breaks up with Wayne and marries the business magnate. However, Natalie’s husband was abusive, and years later, the now 40-year-old Natalie leaves her husband and returns to Hong Kong to work as a courtesan.

    Meanwhile, Sire – Wayne’s superior – is ordered by higher officials to spy on Wayne, who is deemed as dangerous. The highly intelligent Wayne sees through Sire’s plan and finds ways to get rid of her. In one scene, Wayne forces Sire to go after a criminal in a boat chase. Sire has motion sickness, and after the boat ride, she throws up over the beach. In another scene, Wayne secretly slips a cockroach under her dress. Sire goes hysterical, and Wayne uses this opportunity to save the damsel in distress. Sire’s admiration for Wayne increases, and she loosens her investigation on Wayne.

    Next Five Episodes

    The middle-aged Natalie meets Wayne again, whom she has not seen in twenty years. Realizing that Wayne has now become a successful, crime-solving genius, Natalie immediately regretted her decision in breaking up with Wayne twenty years ago. Insecure of her own looks and jealous of Sire’s youth and beauty, Natalie flies to Japan to undergo plastic surgery. Her youth restored, Natalie comes back as a beautiful dance courtesan.

    Throughout the series, Natalie will use her newfound youth and beauty to seduce Wayne. There will also be a scene where Natalie will flash her breasts at Wayne, and her bare back will be revealed to the audience.

    Sire will have a separate romantic story arc with Edwin, her partner in crime. In a criminal-chasing scene, Sire almost gets strangled to death by a thief. Edwin will save Sire through CPR. Their “kissing scene” is reported to last for at least two minutes.
