Even though Kenneth Ma (馬國明) often jokingly asks for extra kissing scenes with his female co-stars, he actually hopes to delay filming his lip-lock with Tavia Yeung (楊怡) in director Lee Tim Shing’s (李添勝) Qing dynasty drama The Paintings of Bureaucracy <官場浮世繪>. Kenneth has been busy juggling a tight shooting schedule and has little time left to do much else. Playing a son from a well-to-do family, his character becomes very determined to bring down corrupted officials and dedicates his life to doing so. By chance he runs into Tavia and her younger sister Cilla Kung (樂瞳), orphans found and raised by a Buddhist nun. Fearing retaliation for his vigilante effort, Kenneth hires the two sisters, who have martial arts backgrounds, to protect him. Kenneth and Tavia later develop feelings for each other on their journey to battle corruption, and Kenneth also accidentally triggers bad memories from Tavia’s past, causing her emotional breakdown. Earlier reports revealed that they will share an underwater kiss, which Tavia described as “beautiful”. When asked about this specific scene on March 11 however, Kenneth’s only comment was that he hopes to film it at a later time as Hong Kong is currently suffering from cold, rainy weather. Tavia was also on set on Tuesday to film an extremely emotional scene. Although she will have several action scenes in the series, she is happy that the moves are basic and none requires any special training. “Luckily I am not playing a top martial artist so I don’t have to hang on wires. I’m ready to go after doing just a basic warm-up!” Creds: Oriental Daily
The two is starting to grow on me...originally I like Kenneth and Selena pairing but Tavia and Kenneth bought it to another level
