Although I hated to see Jack die, I knew I had to accept either his death or arrestment sooner or later in the ending because TVB had to show that even though he may be a kind hearted thief who helps the poor, he is still a thief. With the same thinking as many others, I feel more for the original ending because I felt that Jack wouldn’t be the one to be behind the bars, even if he was destined to die he would die with pride and in action. In this case I felt satisfied that he had died with courage and felt happy that he had done so much for his team and had so many happy experiences with them as well. The thing with the random cop killing him was understandable because anyone else who killed him would be unacceptable (Evergreen, Joe). So TVB made it a stupid clueless dude. Overall, this is my favourite drama of all time so far, TVB has really done well with the cast picking and storyline. Thief team all the way!

okay the original ending was so crap..
it was so random of how the noobie officer juss randomly shoots Damien..
maybe its cuz he sees everyone else is shooting so he wants to be apart of it or something and shoot someone too, but it was really dumb and not needed.
the alternative is much better since atleast one of the main chars doesn’t die..

Neither one i prefer, too typical.
since jack is so mindful, ending with a narrow escape will be interesting and live happily ever after.

The alt ending was weird and was a bit too normal. Yeah, I agree that just having Joe shoot Evergreen is a bit too easy, should be something like Evergreen and Jack both shoot each other and then Yung-Yung watching over Jack waiting for him to wake up….

I love you! Thanks for posting the link to the alternate ending, I couldn’t find it anywhere on youtube because they took it off and on TVB, it was hard because I can’t read chinese. Thanks a lot.

Although I agree with the others that the alternate ending didn’t leave a kind of lingering sadness or message and was the typical kind of ending, not to mention, some parts didn’t make much sense, but I am a sap for happy endings and really wanted to see a kind of “Happily ever after” moment for Jack and Yung-Yung, so I am very glad to have seen them together at last.

Thanks again for your synopsises and link! ^^

XD… Yeah… I like the original more It’s sad but definitely it’s the best cuz the Alt look like a little bored And it looks like they don’t really wanted to make an alt

completely agree with our thoughts on the ending
couldn’t have phrased it better myself!!
and i thought I was the only one rambling
but in the original where the inexperienced cop shot him…now that was lame…and his guilt-striken face just ruined the atmosphere …

as for the alternate ending-just didnt like it, was not as intense, him going to jail was biggest disappointment that i felt that dying would have been greater glory
at least when he died it would have been for revenge and being able to avenge etc. but putting him in jail is like condemning him for all the good things he did

anyways currently watching forensic heroes 2 ..ahh its so gd.. im not ep 22.. cant wait..
so exciting

I have been wondering this for a long time since bt has been singing it in the series but what is that song he keeps singing when his gf breaks up with him and he gets really drunk? Thanks.

This is def a really good series. i somewhat stopped watching tvb for a while since i felt like nothing good came out since revolving doors of vengence and triumph in the skies, but this def makes me want to watch tvb again

I like the alternate ending more. The dialogue between him and Idy matched more with him going to jail. Also I like the brief scene with him and Joe…it wraps up the theme of the series nicely with the thieves and the cops. The scenes following without Idy explaining what happen with everyone was nicely done and somewhat artistic too…so overall this ending was better in my opinion.

Love this serie, it’s definitely at the top of my favorite series list of 2008!

I liked the original ending. It gives a much more memorable performance, rather than to have Damien go to jail.

But at least the alternate ending was much much better and made sense, compared to the one in DIE.

i actually prefer the original ending because i do not want and i don’t think jack deserves to go to jail..dying with pride is a much better choice.. as for BT although i do not want him to die in the series, it is better for him to die in that show as he is stuck between kiu and cheung keok hai~somehow i just like his character in there =P..the original ending was an unpredictable one and i like this series in every way~ thumbs up to tvb for this series! =)

To chibi: Somehow I get the impression Damien was arrested in the alternate ending because he was a thief all along..but that doesn't make sense because they could have arrest him a lot earlier if evidence points in that way. So the only explanation I can come up with was that he tried to kill Evergreen..so dangerous? But if he doesn't kill Evergreen..his punishment shouldn't be that harsh..if you know what I mean. If the alternate ending really continues like the original, Damien may be released in a year? not sure...whole thing doesn't make sense for him to go to jail XD And yes, the photo-shopped photo looked dodegy lol I agree with you in wanting to see actual footages from the other team members..TVB made some sort of "behind the scene" thing asking each of the team members what they have been doing at New Zealand but it doesn't really count because that was just for fun. I liked how Evergreen donated his organs too..little details like this wrap things nicely =) To kinki: I agree with you about the speech part too. I was sorta puzzled myself when I saw that speech she gave in the original ending..the 'waiting' didn't make sense for a dying person.. I guess it's to show YungYung really "grew up" from the whole experience..she wa still lonely in the end though, but she's living on for him.. What did the original title translate to exactly? I can't remember it, something to do with a thief. I was sorta shocked when it turned into "Actually fell in love with a thief" lol To Endlessjoy: I agree with what you're saying..but throughout the series there has been a lot of 'impossibles" and "unrealistic" things happen anyway lol *I'm trying to overlook the fakeness of it all* An explanation as to why he has to be arrest would be nice (alternate ending)

I like the alternate ending better. I understand how it seems cooler that a thief like him dies like this, but it doesn’t make sense. With the original ending, it doesn’t make sense where Evergreen can turn up the gun and shot faster than Joe who has his gun already pointed at him. How Evergreen’s father can run faster than Joe’s bullet and reaction.

Also, I feel that yes, it’s cooler if Damien dies, but he doesn’t deserve it at all. Going to jail is showing how he’s starting new; he comes back out and can be with the woman he loves. I think the alternate ending is the best ending.
