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.”

Yesterday, Kenneth Ma was promoting new series “The Mysteries of Love” at Olympian City. He was given the award of ‘Biggest Playboy’. They also showed his bed scenes with Bernice Liu and other female characters on the big screen. He laughingly said, “In reality, Raymond Lam should be the one receiving the award”. He expressed that this character is loved by males and females. He not only has intense scenes with Bernice and other female artistes, but he even has intimate scenes with a crossdresser. Kenneth said, “Every scene is intense. I also suspect whether they will pass the boundaries [of television]. Everyone says my character is this year’s best. I never had this many intense scenes before–even more so than Wai Siu Bo. He expressed that he was not awkward while filming these scenes, so he does not mind a lot [of these scenes].

When asked about having many bed scenes this time, Kenneth laughing said that he must thank the producer. As for his intense scene with Bernice, he explained that his scenes with Jess Sum and Lee Yee Man are also intense. He is also worried about whether those clips can be aired, so must watch to see whether they have been edited out. However, Kenneth expressed that the group of female artistes were very cooperative, and they also trust him, making him very reassured. As for having so many girls this time, Kenneth laughingly said that he played ‘This Year’s Best Character’ because many beautiful girls flock to him, which he has not experienced for a number of years. Although he has to take on many bed scenes, Kenneth did not shape up. As for teasing Raymond as being the player, he explained that he did not mean that, as he just wanted to say that Raymond has the love of many fans. Kenneth said that he also wants to have many girls in real life, but, unfortunately, he cannot do so, and this is not because he has a girlfriend. Aside from having many beautiful girls, Kenneth also has the admiration of a crossdresser in the series, who also has some intimate scenes with him. He expressed that filming intimate scenes with males or females is not difficult to accept; both are enjoyable.

Raymond Lam Liked Someone from Outside the Industry, but No Result

Raymond Lam envies Kenneth Ma for having so many girls during the series; for the ten years that he has filmed intimate scenes, they are still not comparable to Kenneth’s. As for Kenneth saying that he is a player, Raymond said, “I wish, but I don’t have the time. I once had feelings for a friend outside the industry, but unfortunately did not have the time, so [I] just let it be!” During the event, Raymond proposed to his onscreen girlfriend, Tavia Yeung. Tavia said that she would only consider if he hands over his car and estate. Raymond laughingly said, “When you get married, you must be financially ready; I’ll know when it’s time”.

Tavia Yeung Considers the Money Amount for Swimwear Shows

Because Tavia Yeung recently lost her voice, she had to turn down a number of stage performances, leading to a six-figure loss. When asked whether she would take the opportunity to make money off her figure, Tavia said, “I’m preparing for it. Because I am a spokesperson for a slimming company, I have to stay in shape. I also have to film a new series soon”. She expressed that as long as the pay is appealing and the level of sexiness is acceptable, she does not mind doing swimwear sh0ws, but hasn’t had the chance yet.

Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam, and Bobby Au Yeung were filming “An Uninvited Date” last night. The scene was about Tavia not listening to husband Bobby’s warning, and running to the “third-party” Raymond’s side. She ran so hard that her high heel came off. Bobby picks her high heel up for her, and Raymond helps her put it back on. Even though Tavia was panting from all of the running, she expresses that she felt like she was Cinderella with Raymond helping her put on her shoe. She laughs, “The idol of tens of thousand girl fans is helping me put on my shoe. I definitely feel fortunate! But, I feel most fortunate for Bobby having to carrying my shoe!”

In addition, Raymond plays a somewhat good and somewhat evil demon in the series, and he feels it is a big challenge for him. When asked if he is worried whether his fans will be jealous of him helping Tavia put on her shoe, he said, “I have worked with her the most in TVB, and I have known her for the longest, so I am not worried”. On the other hand, Bobby was asked if he has any kiss scenes with Tavia, he expresses that he does not want any, as he feels embarrassed when filming kiss scenes”.

Note: Heh, heh, heh. Raymond never looks this happy doing other stuff ^^ Great to see him getting meatier, but it was obvious since he was filming with Tavia. Always looks healthier after filming with her!

Tavia Yeung attended a catwalk show this afternoon for a UK brand, Ted Baker. When they asked her whether she knows the matter regarding Mr Ou replacing Mr Stephen Chan in all his duties, she said, “Mr Ou? I met him before. I know which one. But actually, there are no such things as replace or not replace. Some peoples may go and some peoples may come.” When asked whether there are any effects on her job due to personnel changes, Tavia said, “I only film series every day and do my own job.” When talked about high level management that organized birthday party last year and accepted many expensive gifts from artistes, Tavia said, “The most I gave were moon cakes. I also gave moon cakes for my assistant. I just want everyone to be happy.”

Last night, Miriam Yeung and Raymond Lam were on the streets pushing and pulling for a dating scene in their new film <Perfect Wedding> directed by Barbara Wong. As the weather was cold, before the two started shooting they were buried under heavy coats and often drank hot tea to stay warm. When it was time to shoot, Miriam and Raymond were on the streets pulling and pushing, then Raymond made up with her again, looks just like Miriam and her husband Real Ting’s warm relationship, then the couple took a stroll together.

Newly wed, Miriam has been trapped in a sweet marriage and is especially into shooting love scenes. In another scene, when Raymond flinged off her hand in one go, Miriam immediately took it back and held onto his hand tightly. In the end, they embraced sweetly. Perhaps its just been too long since they last worked together, or that it was the first day of work and its not often that Raymond does movies, so their chemistry hasn’t kicked in yet since they NGed quite a bit.

At 9pm, Miriam’s fans especially came to the set with a cake to celebrate her birthday early, which is on February 3rd. Miriam was extremely happy, she quickly cut the cake with fans and blew the candles. A sudden happy birthday party was held on the set.
