Additionally, the two-and-a-half year old young actor "Yip Tin Lok" is so adorable that he's quick becoming a favourites of all moms. Recently our reporters have interviewed series producer "Jong Wai Kin", and revealing the secrets behind such a successful family drama. "The Headaches for Madame Justice" No. 1 - Husband rising up and Meeting in Court - Sunny Chan is actually a wimp? In the last incarnation, Stay-at-home dad Gok Gwok Gwing (Sunny Chan) met Madame Justice Go Hay Man (Jessica Hsuan) signed a "stay-at-home dad, professional-mom" contract in exchange for a wedding. This time, Sunny Chan will continue his role as a at-home dad. Conversely, Jessica will become even more successful professionally - even with a promotion to a full Justice. However, due to an accident, Sunny experiences a change in personality with manic disorder. After that, he has decided that he needs to reclaim his masculinity, even at the cost of facing his wife in court... Amongst the funny scenes is one that borrows from what happened years ago with the "Uncle on the bus" situation, with Sunny Chan screaming at others on the bus and was captured for online viewing, thus leading Jessica to be mortified. TRANSLATION pt 2: Recounting the three huge headaches for Just Love II - a friend turned love rival? Having immortalized numerous classic roles, Jessica has been absent from the TV screens since 2007's major drama "The Drive of Life". Finally, she returns by playing a strong woman character - her forte. At the same time, the perfect-husband Sunny Chan continues to win the hearts of many mom's and wives. However, audiences online now are debating whether Sunny Chan - who is known for playing roles of a weaker male character - is actually with such a personality in real life. Notes from the web: - Sunny Chan? he is no longer the Hui Man Bill from "At the Threshold of an Era". Now, he has turned into someon who just lives from day-to-day without much meaning - Whether he gets great characters is not totally up to him. Would you rather he goes out of his way to get exposure? He's a rather low-key person who does't like to fight for fame. For his supporters and fans, this is what we appreciate most about him. Producer's note: many people underestimated him "Just Love I" was from 5 years ago. This can be counted as the first major act from Jessica as she returns to TVB. In addition, she is carrying 3 new drama's this year. Actually, Jessica's character has remain rather static from the first series. In order to have some fresh elements in the characters, Jessica will have a little more challenges, to become more dramatic: husband wishing to reclaim his masculinity, an exchange of personality for the couple, a discovery about her own life history: will she reconcile with a bad father? Jessica has a lot more emotional / internal scenes. Sunny is a talented actor. Many underestimated him! These characters of a weaker male actually suit him very well. Others may not succeed in bringing out these characters, making it very "cheap", but he acts in a very joyous and enjoyable way. The character turns out not to be wimpy, which is hard to get by. He matches well with Jessica as well. No 2 - BB making mommy sad, "Jo Jo" exercises his cuteness! Jessica and Sunny are both excellent actor and actress. It is undeniable that their son in the series will be one of the focal point and comedic relief. The first episode, "Ah B"s honest and hilarious answers to questions of who bathes him at home and who cooks him at home when Jessica and Sunny brought him to an admission interview at a kindergarten will no doubt make the audience laugh. Who plays "Ah B, Gok Yin Jo"? He is a first time actor Yip Tin Lok. Child actors in HK series are often dubbed too old, too serious. Yet, this situation does not applied to "Lok Lok", because when he filmed the series, he was only 2 1/2 years old, and still very cute, very naive. Furthermore, he is not afraid of strangers, and loved to play with others in the series. Therefore, everyone loved him and thought of numerous ways to play with him. Yet as someone who's still learning, but very disobedient to orders in the series, Lok Lok is someone who gives huge headaches to his parents in the series! Comments on the web: - the kid is very adorable! - Ah B is very cute - is he the same kid from the first series? Producer's comment: a kiss to win back Jessica This baby is not from any competition. He's actually the kid of a relative of a colleague, and has never acted before. But he is genuinely child-like, and therefore it doesn't feel like he's acting at all. But when he was filming he was still young - only 2 1/2, and very difficult to work with. He didn't understand what is "acting", and so when you tell him to go one way, he would go the other - with no way of training him, and can only sweet-talk him. He does't need the script - he wouldn't have understood! It all came from his mom explaining it to him. Also, he looked different every time he came (growing up very quickly!), and we're fearful that we can't connect the scenes. So, the whole crew needs to be mindful of him and sweet-talk him. Sunny already has a son himself. The firs ttime they met, he bought him a toy as a gift, and made him very happy. So Lok Lok became closer to Sunny. Jessica doesn't have children of her own yet, and didn't know how to win a child over, so she was feeling a little left out. At the end, she pretended to be angry to show Lok Lok, and the kid kiss her to win her back. Many kid actors came to the set and cried - even those who had won awards, so at the end, we ended up with his kid who feared nothing. No. 3 - a friend turned love rival - surrounding tactics made Joyce Tang very "perverted"? Professional women will also encounters time when they didn't know what to do, especially when someone is interfering in her family life! A slightly troubled woman Ho Shou Shou (Joyce Tang) won Jessica's attention due to her poor life story, and was invited into Jessica's life. As a result, Ho Shou Shou replaced Jessica as the wife and the mother. But the most surprising for Jessica was the discovery of the life stories. It turns out that Joyce was actually her father's daughter, and her own biological father was Joyce's father - someone she despised. Therefore, Joyce vows to get back everything from Jessica. A major show-down among a man and two women will cause havoc in this family drama. Having played the roles of cops, cook, fashionista, and PR professional, Joyce Tang is still to be seen from the first episode, but we are anticipating her character as a troubled single mom.
