The Mysteries of Love
Encyclopedia
The Mysteries of Love is a 2010 TVB modern series.
Kingsley King (Raymond Lam
) is regarded as the youngest genius in physics and he is appointed as an associate professor in a Hong Kong university. Invited by his good friend Lo Tin-Hang (Kenneth Ma
), Senior Inspector of Police at Regional Crime Unit, Kingsley assists in cracking many mysterious crime cases.
During his police work, Kingsley meets policewoman Tsui Siu-Lai (Tavia Yeung
) during the process. The rational Kingsley evaluates that he has fallen in love with Lai because of a neurotransmitter called phenethylamine
. However, owing to the huge difference in their family background and life value, Kingsley fails to tackle their ever-changing relationship problems with formulas. In the end, due to life changing experiences, Kingsley realizes that love cannot be rationalized and finally admits that his feelings to Siu-Lai are true.
On the other hand, the romantic and uninhibited Hang has been maintaining a sex only relationship with the journalist Ling Man-Ka (Bernice Liu
). Hang doesn't believe in eternity and he is only looking for sensual pleasure in a woman. However, his belief is suddenly shattered when he learns that Man is going to get married.
