To catch the Uncatchable !

Just finished the last episode of 棟篤神探. Didn't expect the ending to be a tragic one. It was an open ending...meaning anyone could interprate anything. But i felt that any normal person would think that Investigator Mok (Tung) would have died even before taking his wedding pictures with Lady Long (Vivi).

It was only until the end that Vivi realise she is in love with Tung despite of all his shortcomings. She had the perfect man Jim in front of her, but she knew he wasn't the right man for her. So she tried all means to turn him down. Just when Tung and Vivi had a chance to get together, something bad had to happen. Vivi was suspected of assualting Jim and was detained for investigation. Tung tried his best to help Vivi but got himself injured and into a coma for about more than a month. It was so heart-wrenching to see how Vivi cared for Tung and stayed by him all these while and even promised to marry him in his coma condition. But he eventually did wake up but was told that his blood clot had shifted to a very dangerous spot. He could collapse and die any moment. He asked Kim to keep it a secret as he didn't want his loved ones to be sad from that moment. He rather them be happy now and only sad after he leaves.
The ending shows them getting prepared for their wedding photo shots. But the camera was faulty and had to be repaired. While taking a rest, Tung saw a thief and gave chase. He run despite of his asthma and for the first time he caught the thief. He called Vivi and said he would be back in 5 mins. However, it showed his phone falling down the stairs and him lying down. I would have guessed he died as the wedding pictures didn't show him.

This was supposed to be a comedy but yet the last episode was a tragedy. Why ?? why did that happen ?? Vivi just wanted a man she loved and a man who loved her and wanted to get married before 30. But just as i was despaired, i went into TVB's website and found a new ending to the story. It showed that Tung did not die and actually went back to finish up the wedding photo shots. Happy ending in the end !!
