The Palace Scheme of East & West
Cast: Roger Kwok, Fala Chen, Sharon Chan
Also, Sharon and Fala will start a new series East West Palace Strategy (東西宮略) in August. In the series, Sharon will be playing Ha Ying Chun, and Fala will play Chung Mo Yim. Sharon said she'll be watching Anita Mui and Mariane Chan's old productions for reference.
*TN: In legend, Ha Ying Chun (夏迎春) is known as the Beautiful Concubine, while Chung Mo Yim (鍾無艷) is known as Emperor Chai Suen's Ugly Empress. The Ugly Empress may not have the looks or won the Emperor's love, but she was very helpful to the country. The Beautiful Concubine, however, may have been very much loved by the Emperor, but her temptation distracted the Emperor from handling affairs in the country.

Endless Exchange Of Enjoyment
Cast: Myolie Wu, Selena Li, Johnson Lee, Vincent Wong, Kiki Sheung, Angela Tong
*Costume Fitting Aug. 2nd
In new comedy series Endless Exchange of Enjoyment, Myolie Wu plays a young housewife who turns into a billionaire's daughter-in-law. In the modern day, many Hong Kong girls wants to marry into a wealthy family. In the series, Myolie's character can finally enjoy the life of a rich wife. The story is about Myolie and Selena Li exchanging lives through a magical website, which causes a lot of problems. In order to steal her husband back, she goes from the first wife to the third party and many interesting things happen.
There are many different websites on the internet, what's popular is exchange of items. Producer Lam Chi Wah used this to outline a story and start new series Endless Exchange of Enjoyment. The series is a lighthearted story about life views. Myolie and Selena were initially people from different worlds, one is a beautiful housewife, while the other is a billionaire's daughter-in-law, but after their identity switches, Johnson Lee foolishly slept with Selena. However, Selena enjoyed being a young housewife, and was unwilling to switch back with Myolie. To seduce her husband (Johnson), she does not hesitate to turn from the first wife to the third party, forcing the honest and considerate Johnson to have an affair.
- Selena Li plays the billionaire's daughter-in-law, but after she exchanges lives with Myolie, she enjoys being a housewife.
- Johnson Lee is both Myolie and Selena's husband.
- Vincent Wong plays the rich man, using Selena Li.
Thoughts: This storyline really reminds me of the old series of Marianne Chan and Cutie Mui, Life for Life =) I remember liking that series....but don't remember anything else at all. Tvb is really beginning to promote Selena Li now ;D Also Johnson as the lead! Not only tvb is beginning to promote the supporting actresses, but now also the supporting actors too =) Someone I'd really like tvb to promote more is Jack Wu (haven't seen him in a while...)
Anyways, definitely looking forward to this series. Only thing though...hope it does not get too cheesy but simply heart-warming =)
