Three time TV King winner Wayne Lai collaborated with golden producer Lee Tim Shing once again in TVB new series Bullet Brain. The highly anticipated series premiered last night with TV ratings averaging at 28 points. However, Netizens made many negative comments -- the premiere was rather boring and the props used for a story set in the 1960s were too modern.

Bullet Brain started off telling the story of Ko Dai Hei (Wayne Lai), the foolish, simple and kind-hearted man, but because a bullet went into his brain and caused his brain cells to evolve, his IQ increased significantly. He turned into a cold-hearted detective Columbo and would do things unscrupulously. In the premiere, the case was mainly about detective Columbo setting up a trap to capture the kidnappers. Netizens thought the whole explanation of Columbo's plot dragged too much and got a little boring. Another Netizen discovered the hearse that the kidnappers stole was too modernized and was absolutely not a hearse you would see in the 60s; In Pierre Ngo's smoking scene, the cigarette tray was a model launched just a few years ago. Netizens teased TVB for playing with "time traveling" again. Other Netizens believed its more important to watch a series for the story line and not nitpick so much. Netizens also mentioned detective Columbo is too despicable, they feared his nature may frighten children.

Netizens also mentioned Bullet Brain is similar to Dicky Cheung and Anita Yuen's 2001 Chinese series Mr. Winner. The series is about the kind-hearted and foolish Dicky turning super smart and solving many strange cases. The two series are indeed similar, but Dicky's role didn't turn heartless.

Producer Lee Tim Shing expressed Bullet Brain premiere rating of 28 points is not bad at all and this isn't a cop and robber series. The story will get better and better, and eventually withdraws from reality. Tim Gor believes the ratings will increase in the coming weeks. Wayne's role is very complex, but he performed very well. It was said Wayne's acting style is similar to 'Chai Gau' (Rosy Business). Tim Gor has a different view: "Chai Gau is a character who vigorously climbs upward. Detective Columbo is just purely selfish and hopes people die without leaving a name behind."

Netizens said the hearse is too modernized and inconsistent with the time period, Tim Gor said: "It's hard to find a same exact one, we tried as best we could to get one that looks similar. I hope the audience will focus more on the story line. (The plot is similar to Mr. Winner?) I haven't watched that series before, so I'm not sure if its similar."
