TVB held a costume fitting press conference on Tuesday to promote its upcoming television drama Three Women, One ‘Gene’ <三個女人一個「因」>, produced by Poon Ka-tak (潘嘉德). Principal photography is expected to start soon. The drama is inspired by the 2015 South Korean drama Kill Me Heal Me, a story about a man suffering from dissociative identity disorder (DID). In Three Women, the lead is portrayed by Mandy Wong (黃智雯), who suffers DID. Her character has three distinctive identities—a professional lawyer, a wild and sexy woman, and a person with a gloomy outlook on life. Mandy’s characters will be involved with three different men—as a lawyer, she is Jason Chan’s (陳智燊) fiancée. When she’s wild and sexy, she has a passionate affair with a model, portrayed by new coming actor Arnold Kwok (郭子豪). Her third personality is involved with Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪). “This is a huge challenge,” said Mandy on her thoughts about playing three different characters on the show. “I’ve been researching about this mental disorder for a few months now. Having to play so many different roles at once is intense and I’m afraid I’ll go crazy.” Mandy said the series, which is currently tied to 20 episodes, has only one story arc. “Because of that, the filming schedule is really tight. But I have rested enough the past couple of months so I’m sure I’ll be fine.” Earlier, it was reported that Him Law (羅仲謙) was originally casted to costar, but his wife, Tavia Yeung (楊怡), allegedly pulled him out because she did not want him to have rumors with Mandy again. Benjamin Yuen replaced his role. Mandy said the rumors aren’t true. “It’s common to have cast changes here and there before official filming begins. Ben and I have collaborated before, so I’m excited to work with him again. The report isn’t true. I went out with Tavia and Him recently. Him probably dropped out because of schedule conflicts.” Creds: Oriental Daily
I am so happy for Mandy! I think she's been deserving of a main lead role for a long while now, and I have confidence she will do well in portraying all 3 personalities. I also somehow believe the rumour about Tavia/Him is true, l0l.
