Lady Sour <醋娘子> began airing on December 1. Caught in a love rectangle, Ron Ng (吳卓羲), Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), Eliza Sam (岑麗香) and Him Law (羅仲謙) revealed their filming experience for the period comedy. For his comedic role, Ron was required to display many exaggerated reactions. Uncertain how viewers would respond, he is prepared for negative backlash. Ron Ng Prepared for Criticism Initially afraid his character would be disliked, Ron said filming Lady Sour is one of his biggest challenges to-date. “This drama’s character gives off a fresh feeling. It may lead to a new path for myself. The audience may not like my overly exaggerated acting and it may be negatively received – there’s no middle ground. I’ve never acted in this type of series before. I can’t really predict how the audience will react.” Partnering with Ron on multiple occasions, including last year’s Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲宵II>, Myolie said Ron incorporated his own personality into his role. Teasing Ron for having a playful side, Myolie sees similarities with his onscreen persona. “I think he is very funny and he brings me a lot of joy. I can never stop laughing when I’m working with him, so I think [the reception] will be good.” Eliza Sam and Him Law Star in First Period Drama Lady Sour is Eliza Sam (岑麗香) and Him Law‘s (羅仲謙) first period drama. Born and raised in Vancouver, Eliza struggled to understand the majority of her script. Especially having trouble with ancient proverbs, Eliza hired a professional to translate her Chinese script to English and had no choice but rely solely on pinyin to recite her lines. Although Eliza struggled with the filming process, she was very thankful the cast guided her on the proper speech for a character set in historical China. “I’ve listened to my mother’s stories about China and I’ve watched historical dramas before. There’s a fantasy feeling to them. Growing up overseas, I learned about Chinese culture later in life, and I feel very lucky to be able to act in a costume series. It exposed me to the culture and helped me understand my roots.” Him was thankful Lady Sour was a comedy and the lines did not contain too many difficult proverbs and phrases to memorize.
