Source: Mingpao Translated by: aZnangel Raymond Lam & Tavia Yeung support new series, absolutely no plagiarism TVB new series <The Mysteries of Love> have been strongly criticized by Netizens that the story plagiarized from Japanese drama <Detective Galileo>. Regardless of the criticisms, the TV ratings have not been affected with many local TV series fans supporting the series. The first episode received 32 points on average. Yesterday the cast and crew held a celebration for the good ratings, Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung both supported the series expressing that the series had no plagiarism elements. Raymond supported the creativity, while Tavia felt that the love story is richer than the original version. Raymond said: "For series, coming and going is the same few genres. The script to our series is quite creative, before shooting we were already criticized to have plagiarized, but the most important thing is that every role is portrayed differently and that audience like it." Have you seen the original Japanese drama? "No, I usually don't watch originals or remakes, otherwise my acting may slightly resemble the original. You have to tailor the character with your own style, including my older series <A Step Into the Past> is the same. Currently the producer is not encouraging us to watch it because the story is different." Tavia said that when they started filming this series, people were already saying that the series is a copy. Although she hasn't seen the original, she still does not feel the series is a copy. Also the love story of the main leads in <Mysteries> is richer. Is she afraid Netizens might boycott the series? Tavia said: "No, since the first day people already said the two dramas are similar."
Didn't they clearly said this drama is BASED on the Japanese drama? But they should watch the japanese version after filming is done. I might also give this a try (Japanese version), though i still have a lot of Japanese dramas to catch up to
^NO, they said they created everything on their own. Latest "similarity"---in MOL episode 3, that guy's place is full of chinese seals against ghost, and he brings his son out exactly at 8PM everyday to avoid seeing his wife & daughter's ghost. Well GUESS WHAT? In Galileo episode 3, the grandma's place is full of those seals as well, oh ALSO, those people leave the house at exactly 8PM everyday to avoid the quake. OH WHAT A BIG COINCIDENCE!
i agree that there is some similarity. But i look outside the box. I guaranteed each episodes has its own specialty.
well yeh they have to have their own ideas, cuz if they copied everything off "Detective Galileo" then they would've been sued and it wouldve been more serious, little details like when they met, how the characters develop relationships and the story could be similar, but they still got to give credit. It still considered plagiarism
they look more like friends than lovers i hope they create that on screen fire as the series goes ahead.
