    Synopsis:
    TVB’s second major television drama for the TVB’s 48th anniversary is the fantasy drama Under the Veil <無雙譜>, a remake of the popular 1981 television drama Double Fantasies <無雙譜>. Broadcasting alongside Captain of Destiny, Under the Veil is a series packed with improved CGI effects to complement its romantic fantasy theme. The drama started production in early 2014, and spent over half a year in post-production.

    Under the Veil tells three separate folk legends of how people who look the same can also be very different in the inside—whether it is in the heart or the mind. It stars Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), Sonija Kwok (郭羨妮), Kristal Tin (田蕊妮), Raymond Wong (黃浩然), Bosco Wong (黃宗澤), and Eliza Sam (岑麗香) as characters who experience all of life’s worst tragedies—selfishness, greediness, vanity, and lust.

    In the first story titled “Changing Pins”, Kristal Tin portrays twin siblings who fall in love with different men that share the same face, portrayed by Raymond Wong. The older twin, a general, has a male romance with a prince of the Liao kingdom, and the younger twin, a girl, gets involved in a relationship with a poor scholar.

    In the second story “Judge Lu”, Wayne Lai is a poor scholar in an extramarital relationship with a prostitute who resembles his wife, portrayed by Sonija Kwok.

    The final tale “Chasing Fish” is also about a scholar, portrayed by Bosco Wong, who is the target of affections for a fish spirit and a human, both portrayed by Eliza Sam.

    I don't get this drama. So many episodes in, they are spreading the storyline way too much. I think that hurts this cast. What a waste.

    This drama ended and it still makes no sense. I think most would agree. What a waste of talent.

    A belated answer to your question ~ but I'm not sure exactly which princess you talking about
    So

    Princess 1 (the one that turned to stone) is Katy Kung
    Princess 2 ( the one that killed herself) is Cindy Lee

    ~~~~~~

    My mum finished this drama in like 4 days ~ Lord~
    I only watched the first ep and then the last two final episodes last night ~

    Nice concept with actors playing two opposite roles but man it confused me , partly because I missed a lot of eps and the two roles 1 person.

    I thought the ending was pretty weak, and predictable tbh but it was typical happy endings .

    OST by vincy was pretty catchy ~ good lyrics
