Finale Spoilers for “Bullet Brain” Revealed!
Although helmed by golden producer Lee Tim Sing (李添勝), the outcome of TVB’s Bullet Brain <神探高倫布> did not go as well as expected. Two weeks and 10 episodes have already aired, and viewership ratings for Bullet Brain are still hovering around the mid-20s area.
In an earlier interview, Tim Gor promised his viewers that the story of Bullet Brain will pick up in later episodes and urged the audience to be more patient. Indeed, Bullet Brain’s second week of episodes had more engaging content, but is it worth to invest another three weeks on the show?
If you are still deciding if you should continue on with this fantastical crime drama, perhaps these spoilers will help you make your decision.
Spoilers Ahead!
In next week’s episodes, Wayne Lai’s (黎耀祥) character, Columbo, and Ngo Ka Nin’s(敖嘉年) character, Ping On, will exchange personalities. Columbo will return to his old self as the simple-minded Ko Tai Hei, and Ping On will become what Columbo used to be – highly intelligent, evil, and heartless. The transformed Ping On takes joy in teasing and torturing Tai Hei, including asking Tai Hei to pick up feces in the bathroom.
Although Tai Hei has “awakened” from his Columbo identity, he does not remember his time as Columbo, including his time with Eva (Sire Ma 馬賽). At this time, Eva already discovered that Columbo had toyed with her feelings, but she takes pity on Tai Hei and decides to move in with Tai Hei at his flat to protect him.
Tai Hei’s first love, 40-year-old Mui Mui (Natalie Tong 唐詩詠), escapes from her family dungeon and returns to Tai Hei/Columbo. Determined to win his heart back, Mui Mui gets plastic surgery in Japan to look young again. She returns to Hong Kong looking beautiful and attractive.
Mui Mui’s life in her underground dungeon took a toll on her mental health, and she developed a mental disorder that resembles schizophrenia. She begins to start hallucinating, which includes the well-publicized scene of her seducing Columbo with her naked body.
However, Mui Mui turns out to be a murderer, and her crimes are immediately discovered by Ping On. She is later executed by the garrote.
After her death, her 17-year-old daughter, Szeto Nam (also portrayed by Natalie) comes to the scene. She tries to avenge her mother’s death by getting close to Ping On, but her plan backfires, and Ping On rapes her.
As for Eva, she finds new love with her subordinate, Choi Fei Lung (Edwin Siu 蕭正楠), and the two start a relationship. However, Eva may not get her perfect fairy tale ending, as a quarrel with Ping On will put her in a vegetative state.

I see the series is not bad; I will watch it until the end. Natalie, Sire, Wayne, Edwin and Pierre all are very good in this series.
Sire Ma is the worst in the series. Cannot stand the way she speaks. I can hardly understand what she’s speaking
i havent watch any tvb series, is this series any good, i hear ratings were bad
@ray, watch something else other then Bullet in the Brain
She is okay when she speaks slowly, but not when she speaks a lot of dialogues all at one time and fast.
This series SUCKS BIG TIME! It’s super extreme shit produced by tvb. If you have not watched anything from tvb, refrain from this series as it’d kill your impression of tvb’s standard. What a load crap and predictable spoilers. I don’t even want to waste my time with it anymore after EP 7. Boring. Yawwwnnnnnn….
I am crazy like tavia yeung
Yeah! Like every times she says “布布” it gives me the shivers and she says it like “步步”. Can’t stand that. Also the diary part, come on give us a break. I really cannot stand her taking a of the screen time. Beside they’re useless scenes in the drama. Nat is way better than her
Does anyone wants the ending.
Spoilers ahead*
After szeto nam was raped, tai hei wants her back and prepared a boat for ping on.
Tai hei doesnt know that ‘daughter’ was raped, and ping on was sending her, she tried to stop him from
Going to dock.
Ping on was hit in the back and he fainted. From a tree because szeto nam tried to stop him and the car got crashed.
After the surgery of Eva, it didnt go well.
So tai hei tries to look inside her heart
Then after that, tries to save Eva by take a sleeping syringe well holding Eva hand.
The surgery went well. Except for ping on Bcuz his disabillity.
Then goes 40 years
They are all old now and choi fei and his wife Bcuz he dumped Eva just for her if you remember!?
He has 3 son and 6 grandsons.
And this is the part where I get confuse!?
After they meet Eva once again, Eva went to the plane, and Eva looks every old but tai hei was was as young as he used to!
The end goes the story
I sorta predicted the first part of exchanged personality BUT Ping On so damn evil? Come on! Why not make them pit brains in solving cases instead of rape lar, murder lar, humiliation lar.. the story is so out there!
Hmm I think these spoilers are actually making me more interested. I’m on the verge of giving up on the series right now. I don’t know how I can finish this at 25 episodes. Wish it was only 20 episodes. The series better pick up soon.
Ahh rape. Of course there is rape. It’s not tvb without one. I was sorta hoping that Columbo and Ping On would end up being half bad half good type of thing. Not sure if I want to keep watching such a depressing drama.
Well he did, when they found Joanna
“Ow!”, exclaimed Wayne as he hit his head on his acting ceiling.
But alas, it wasn’t the first time he had hit his head there.
T_T
Lol
I was hoping that they wouldn’t switch personalities.. dammit TVB
Also the part where he rapes Natalie (her daughter lol).
TVB please stop…
This series is bad but reading the spolier its really terrible. What a ridiculous story line and shame to waste the talent of Wayne Lai. I can put up with bad story but if it remains entertaining but this is painful. Sire Ma is dreadful in this series. Have seen her better in other series.
Bad…bad…just as bad as Super Snoops with Liza Wang and friends…
Surprised to find that it is Tim Gor’s drama series with our 3-time TV King being the lead actor.
I don’t think anyone could defend this series, as much as I like the producer and the cast. The storytelling, pacing and the scenes are just overly convulted to accept. In most series you could throw in comedy, action, drama, mystery, horror and love it would work out well. However for this series, it’s an absolute nightmare.
If only the scriptwriter had written the script in a linear timeline from the beginning. It would have worked out so much better.
Load if crab serial…..want yo kill the producer…..
Very disappointed with this series thus far (just finished watching episode 8)…
I stopped watching at series 5. Very
disappointed too. With Sire Ma’s poor
acting & poor speech in the drama,it really spoilt the whole show! Uncle Lee
Tim Sing chose the wrong actress. Everyone has been complaining abt Sire Ma!
What possessed the usually reliable and perceptive Tim Sir to choose the unproven Sire Ma to take on such a principal role. The character has almost no redeeming qualities whatsoever. In fact apart from the minor female characters like sook han, all the major female characters were unsympathetic and I am sure any remaining die hard viewers left watching the later episodes didn’t care who dies or who lives. Aargh!!!
Rape is getting boring TVB. They should try something new, like a male getting raped instead.
wayne will be sodomized in rosy business 3: no reverse. myolie will be raped in same series.
Wow, this plot is ridiculous. Exchanging personalities? Two people surviving bullets at point blank into the head? Two miracles? I wanted to see Wayne solving crimes with his incredible IQ with the backstory.
This suppose ending, it would be funny if its a cliffhanger to make it more wacky.
“will put her in a vegetative state”
I am already in vegetative state thanks to the insane story. I have never been so wrong about a series. This series is to me the worst of 2013 and justifiably so because the story is just… oh you know what I am going to say!
C_ _ _!!
Agree . This is by far the worst tvb drama that I have ever watched and I have watched a lot ! The story sucked big time and the number of mistakes in the use of props that are not appropriate to the period is unbelievable . If they are gonna continue to produce rubbish period dramas like this, it’s the end of Cantonese tv dramas for sure .
