Liza Wang (汪明荃), has turned down a new TVB drama offer that was allegedly meant to be the third installment of the Wars of In-Laws <我的野蠻奶奶> series. Wars of In-Laws, was a household hit and won the 2005 TVB Best Drama award, successfully propelling the careers of Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) and Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) to another level. Main star Liza also triumphed with a Best Actress win for her role as Bosco’s mother, Princess Sheok Lan, in the period comedy. In addition, the drama brought Myolie and Bosco together as a real-life couple. The in-the-house trio teamed up again for 2008′s Wars of In-Laws 2 <野蠻奶奶大戰戈師奶>, a modern-day retelling of the serial. Another established hit, TVB planned to bring the profitable team back together once more for the third installment, but after Myolie and Bosco’s much publicized split last year, the Wars of In-Laws production team decided that it is best to not bring the ex-couple back together for now. The intended sequel, The Vinegar Wife <醋娘子>, originally had Liza and Bosco cast as the main leads. Liza confirmed this news during an earlier interview, but revealed that she had to turn it down due to a schedule clash. “[TVB] did some preliminary talks with me, but in the end I had to turn it down because I will be working in Canada.” Liza expressed that The Vinegar Wife should not be considered as part of the Wars of In-Laws series. “This time, it will not center about the jealousy between mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws. It will revolve around the real vinegar that we eat.” (In Chinese, ‘eating vinegar’ and ‘jealous’ are homonyms.) “The story is completely different from the previous two installments.” Creds: ihktv
