Raymond Lam not talking about Linda Chung, afraid Tavia Yeung jealous
Because TVB series <The Mysteries of Love> plagiarized Japanese drama <Detective Galileo> too much, the issue even caught the Japanese media attention and criticisms from the Japanese Netizens. Yesterday a celebration party for the series was held in Olympian City. Lead actors Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma attended to celebrate the series reaching 850,000 hits online.
Regarding to the plagiarism, Raymond said that he has looked at the Japanese websites and that actually the rumors went from Hong Kong to Japanese. Increasing popularity in Japan, does he feel honored? He smiled and said that he will think more about this because TVB series are getting more popular in Korea. He said: “Hong Kong’s martial art films are already very popular in other countries.”
With the opening of the World Cup, Raymond frankly said that the TV ratings have been affected, he said: “because tonight at 10pm, there will be a game, the episode ends at 10:30pm, I’m afraid we may lose some viewers at 10.” Towards rumored girlfriend Linda Chung saying he has ‘prince illness’? He quickly pulled female lead Tavia into the water: “What, there’s no topics? I’m afraid Tavia might get jealous.”
Tavia said that she’s not afraid the World Cup will affect the ratings. She said that the series have many loyal housewife fans supporting and they don’t watch the World Cup? Regarding the plagiarism rumors that in the series Raymond copies the action of Masaharu Fukuyama from <Detective Galileo>? Tavia said: “I haven’t watched <Galileo> before, but Raymond Lam is Raymond Lam. He has his own actions, no need to copy others. I am not Shibasaki Kou either.”

TVB new series “Mysteries of Love” is criticized by netizens for copying Japanese drama “Galileo.” But “Mysteries of Love”s rating wasn’t affected and its first episode had average ratings of 32 points. Yesterday the series held a celebration event. Raymond Lam and Tavia stressed they didn’t copy anything. Raymond supported the plot is original. Tavia believed romance lines are richer than the original.
Raymond said: “Drama genres are always those few. Our plot is original. Before filming, people already said we copied, most importantly, every character has a different way of portraying, viewers like it.” Watched the Japanese original version? “No, won’t watch original or edited versions in general, otherwise the acting will have others’ shadow. We have to create our own, including ‘A Step Into The Past’ earlier, now producers don’t encourage us to watch, because the story is different.”
Tavia said when they started filming people already said they copied. Although she never watch the Japanese version, but she doesn’t feel anything was copied, plus the romance lines between the leads in “Mysteries of Love” are richer. Afraid being boycott by netizens? She said: “No, people already said it’s similar on the first day.”
