Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam, and Kenneth Ma Promote “Three Kingdoms RPG”
Raymond Lam (林峯), Kenneth Ma (馬國明), Tavia Yeung (楊怡), and Sharon Chan (陳敏之) attended yesterday’s promotional event for TVB’s upcoming time travel drama, Three Kingdoms RPG <回到三國>, in Diamond Hill. Tavia has recently been busy filming drama after drama and admitted that it has been a while since she last went on vacation. As for reports indicating that Tavia is living in with rumored boyfriend, Him Law (羅仲謙), she denied them and said, “I’ve been living with my mother for many years!”
Kenneth, who portrays the time traveling protagonist, “Vincent Szema,” will be romantically involved with the housemaid “Song Yau,” portrayed by Tavia. According to Kenneth, there will be many humorous scenes dealing with his character teaching contemporary dialogue and trendy vocabulary to the historical characters. “I’ll teach them how to curse, and they’ll actually listen to me and use them in arguments!”
Sharon remarked that it was a challenge to portray “Xiao Qiao,” the wife of Ruco Chan’s (陳展鵬) character “Zhou Yu.” She said, “My character has princess syndrome. It’s a challenge because I have to be cute without being too irritating.”
Raymond Lam Hates His Mustache
Recently, TVB dramas have consistently used the name “Chok Fung” to ridicule Raymond. He said helplessly, “Thank you to all the scriptwriters for their love!” Asked if Raymond is the leading representative of “chok,” he immediately replied, “That’s silly, there are still many seniors ahead of me that deserve the name more!”
Raymond, who portrays the legendary historical figure “Zhuge Liang,” said the hardest part of his role was not the portrayal itself, but his fake mustache. “The cast often hung out and joked around with each other during filming breaks, but none of us dared to laugh because once we do, our mustaches would fall off! It’s really difficult. We can only smile with our eyes!” He further expressed that he never cared about the ratings of his dramas, but commented that Three Kingdoms RPG has an extremely comedic storyline.
Viewers can start traveling back in time with Kenneth Ma starting July 9th when Three Kingdoms RPG airs in Hong Kong!

Hehe Witness Insecurity used Chok Fung in the first and 3rd episode I believe ^_^ Lol Can’t wait to watch is series
Is this replacing No Good Either Way?
yes. Can’t wait for this series. The synopsis from tvb.com look promising and attractive!
ma ming is listed before raymond in the official website and it surprised me but I think their scenes will be equal.
Tavia looks tired and older in the picture
TY look 40’s
can’t imagine TY play a young maid in 3K. miscast!
Apparently she’s 23 in 3K. Please, i think they accidentally have the digits swapped around.
23 for TY is illogical! ROFL
Hmm isn’t a 23 umarried gal in ancient times considered old? The character should be around 15-17 years old instead 😀
TY does looks older than her age, however it’s not totally impossible for her to play a 23 year old. She can even play a 15 year old, hahaha.
Anyway this a another skip for me…
more convincing to cast a younger gen actress that look this age since this is a fun series
yes tavia will be 23 in RPG. i rolled my eyes when i first read about it.
They should have kept Fala. Linda Chung and Cilla Kung would be even better choices.
personally I think tavia looks only a slight bit older than the other fadans. And I don’t think its a miscast, maids don’t necessarily have to be young.
I can accept if they made her 28 or 29, but 23 is too far 😛
23 ,32 or 40s IS tat really important? As long as she can act and fans still enjoy her performance with co-actor chemistry.why there is the need to bother her character ages. Beside, I dun think Tavia have significant role in tis series. Just a display character that fall in love with KM.So why need make like a big fuse with age?
Lau Ka Ho and the art director fault. End of my story.
I agree with you to some extent a-pop,however, if the actor/actress does not look his/her role then even if their acting is good, it would still be awkward. It is kind of like if you casted a not so great looking actress in the role of Lin xian er(the most beautiful woman in Gu Long’s universe), it just would not look or feel right. You know what I mean??
LKH lousy producer.
Blame LKH and everyone is happy lolz.
Txb dun have enough young actresses, so why dun just make the old chac? Let her act a 33 year old maid and MM’s chac choose her when no guy want her. And it’s more reasonable that after one night love she chases him to get married.
fala & linda does not look 23 either. she looks 30 at least.
If Linda and Fala is 30 at least then how old TY looks in your opinion, fez?
LOL good question Fox.
I don’t plan to watch this drama series.
Don’t like watching a “half modern and half ancient” comedy.
Raymond also said that he wants to play Zhou Yu, and was surprised that he was given the role of Zhuge Liang. I remember a while back, Ruco said his favorite 3K character was Zhuge Liang. They should have switched roles!
Addy,
I think Raymond and Ruco suit their respective roles in Three Kingdoms RPG well. Raymond has a lovely poetic voice that suits the role of Zhuge Liang. He plays scholars well; there is a gentleness about his manners (including in the way he speaks in interviews), likely a product of good family upbringing.
agreed! I can imagine we all fell for LF’s poetic and gentleman Zhugeluang!
strong muscular and rough LF we’ll see in HAL soon! Hooray
Right his voice is wonderful!
Yes, he definitely has a soft and soothing voice which is why I really enjoy listening to him sing and his songs are really good, both slow and fast ones.
He’s a great actor and singer and I’m a huge fan of his but I actually prefer his singing over his acting over the last few years. His acting seems to have remained stagnant while his singing and songs are getting better by the day. He always had a wonderful voice and sang well in his earlier days but he is a lot stronger now with his singing and also sings with great emotions drawing you into the song.
Hopefully I’ll see a great performance from him in Three Kingdoms but I’m not expecting a brilliant performance since it was during the Mavis scandal. There’s also High and Lows which I’m really eager to see so maybe he will prove me wrong in this series and win an award from it. Go LF!
if raymond and ruco swopped roles, raymond will not be the main in here
Ruco will be a miscast as Zhuge Liang. Ray looks ok as Zhuge Liang but I am more concerned about his interpretation of Zhuge Liang as someone so serious he doesn’t know the word fun. I actually do like Takeshi Kaneishiro’s interpretation of Zhuge Liang-he made Zhuge Liang cute and I would have wished he had more scenes.
I can see that they both suit the role they are in. But if they switch, interesting. Wanna see how they do tat.
We haven’t had a good comedy series in a while. I’m really looking forward to this next week.
Just reading about using modern day vocabulary in ancient times makes me laugh, especially with Ma Ming’s delivery. I find him to be adorable in such roles.
yes just reading about the modern vocabulary and curses already make me want to laugh! looking forward for ma ming teaching these ancient people modern curses and vocabulary!
However, i do sense that there would AGAIN be stupid complaints from the audience.
Definitely lookin foward to this! Such a stellar cast 🙂 all my favs ray tav and kenneth !
Same with you looking forward tis series since I love all the cast especially Tavia. Haven’t watch her ancient series character for long time wish her to shown up her ancient character skill again.
Waiting to watch how Raymond and Kenneth can live up the storyline since tis series focus more on male dominated war.
ma ming evidently is great at this funny and adorable roles while Raymond’s role sounds good and smart from tvb.com description. it’s the female side i’m worried
The guys role base on character description sure interesting enough. Female casts I will not evaluate them as not intersting enough. If female lead is weak, would she able to produce good chemistry with her co-actors. One hand cant claps it’s own. I’m also wait to see how Sharon and Kaki Leong will perform.
lol.. wat we all judging about the cast now is basicly just a empty talk because we will only know the result after watching.
Kaki Leung and Sharon Chan I like both. I also like Lee Yee Man, Mary Hon, Jessie Shum, Iva Law, etc. All the supporting female cast are ppl I can watch.
I don’t think we should expect much from the female cast because this is a pretty male dominated series. As a tavia fan I’m also not expecting much out of her character because her character is made up and really is only there to add a love story with Kenneth’s character.
Indeed 3K men roles are more interesting and important than the females, so I don’t expect anything from the females too.
Iva Law looks the best among tge girls ib here un my opinion.
Yeah, all my favs, but it would have been better if Ron was in this too!
hope the females in this series dont drag it down. Yes in step into the past i don’t like any of the female leads too.
I really liked Joyce Tang’s character though. Jessica Hsuan’s character was annoying, Sonija Kwok’s character was too perfect (and therefore boring), and like you said, Michelle Saram’s character was too bland. I was disappointed that Louis Koo ended up with Jessica in the end. I can’t find any reason to why Louis had fallen for her. IMO, I think it was because he felt like he had to protect her, and not because he really fell for her.
I doubt Three Kingdoms RPG will get as entertaining as A Step into the Past, but who knows? Maybe it’ll surprise me.
I also liked TVB’s other time traveling drama, The King of Yesterday and Tomorrow. The triangle dragged the storyline a bit, but it was a funny show while it lasted.
Didn’t he end up with 2 women? My assumption was he loved Sonija more.
YEAY 3K! LOL MOP was so ridiculous and boring I want a good funny series right now!
Sharon make me cant stop observing her. She is so tall . After wearing high heels she slightly taller than Raymond.
She has long beautiful legs
sure want to see this series, dying to see fung in ancient series.
Simply excited because of Raymond! Haven’t seen him in a drama (or movie) since last year! 🙂
excited for LF, KM, Ruco, Sharon, and the supporting actors look good too! Except TY I had enough of her.
Yes, my fast-forward button might come in handy during her scenes.
Kaki Leung and Sharon Chan I like both. I also like Lee Yee Man, Mary Hon, Jessie Shum, Iva Law, etc. All the supporting female cast are ppl I can watch.
Then I watch this one for LF + supporting cast. Maybe could put LF in supporting cast. The repors will do that if it’s a blast. And put him as only lead if it’s a flot.
LOLs “Since Last Year” This is gonna happen every single year then!
I don’t quite understand what you are trying to imply..
I think it’s going to suck. That’s my prediction.
LOL watch it first! How you know it will suck when its not on air yet? Did BBJX and ASITP suck?
I watch the preview…ugh, its not that interesting. I will watch a couple of episodes. If I am wrong, I ill chop my hand off.
the previews are comical what’s wrong with it? I can imagine 3K famous in mainland because of the 3K stuff and fandom KM and LF
Larry 3,
“I watch the preview…ugh, its not that interesting. I will watch a couple of episodes. If I am wrong, I ill chop my hand off.”
Even if you are wrong, I doubt you will admit that you are. So your hand will be safe.
I am being sarcastic.
@Larry3: All the previews are eye catching and funny and the synopsis and role descriptions in tvb.com are interesting. Netizens in HK and mainland are anticipating this very much. Suit yourself if you think this will suck. You might be pleasantly surprised later.
No the trailer & promotion clips did not catch my interest. I have been picky lately , and most of the times, its right….
One main reason why it “may be” suck is the producer… Lau Kar Ho.
I think the ratings and watching rate might be high though, because many of the cast have huge fan numbers and this will be suitable for a family series.
just becuz one think its good doesnt mean its good, why always bring in neitzens? why wont we just use our eyes to watch it and not from other people
I don’t think this drama will suck since rich boy Raymond are in this drama ,TVB won’t make this drama suck since Raymond have too much money to invest in this drama and his dad won’t allow it be suck ,mark my word .
Raymond Lam’s last couple TVB series SUCKS. Seriously, it sucks
Why do you always drag Raymond and his “money” in?? Its got nothing to do with that.
Wow, from an employee now he becomes employer in Txb. Good promotion LF!
What’s with all the rich boy comments? Totally irrelevant.
kidd,
since when LF’s dad became tvb’s shareholder or upper executive? Do you have any hard-base evidence?
Fake Kidd’s rich boy Raymond is superman, dun need to be proved. He can do everything, even fly to the moon without spaceship.
Trailer of 3 Kingdom RPG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTFTD893K6E&feature=related
I definitely watch this serie because I like the story and all my favorite people are in here especially Tavia, Kenneth and Raymond.
Really looking forward to this series. Hope it wont be a disappointment! Raymond looks strange with his moustache
Seems like Him will going poke Kenneth eyes lol..(lousy gag)
http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/bmiddle/6cf095b6gw1dum5hh75owj.jpg
I feel that Tavia was most happiest and good mood among the people. She have a lot of open teeth smile on the event even she look very tired and she have very demure look. Just small part of picture

TVB should put her more in ancient series more than modern series.She those little rare person that can wonderfully pull out those ancient ladies character aura and gesture .
That’s cuz Ray has his fake mustache on and doesn’t want it to come off and plus, guys never smile with their teeth showing.
guessing only fans can see the demure part. Imo demure is more suitable for fresh youngsters.
Yeah! Tavia does look pretty in ancient series. I haven’t seen her in ancient series for a long time. I believe this new drama will be a nice one.
To be frank, your interest is the reason why I lost half of my interest when this one is planned. Do you know how much I look forward to see Ron and Fala in the sale clip? They are not miscast. At least Ron looks MK young guy and Fala looks 23.
KM is cute dont be too hard but LOL TY as 23 year old is ridiculous!
human always so funny and unfair in their comment . When other people criticize on their favourite, they will whinning dun too harsh on the darling but when they making fun or bashing other’s favorite ,it seems like non other people business.
A-pop, are you saying of TY fans in jaynestars, lol? It sounds so similar to some in here.
I implying to majority artist fans in this world. Not only specifically to Tavia fans ( I know few of her fans can be defensive and dun care to offend whoever that bashing Tavia.But there are many of Tavia’s fans still reasonable and will not jump other artists because the other artist’s fans offend them . Just like me )
IMO , people should know where the limit they can go if they wan to express their hate tress or dissatisfaction of artist . If the discussion poll causing other people feel discomfort, people get pissed off , then environment will turn to unfriendly.Then why there is need to keep delivering the repetitive unpleasant message that provoke unhealthy argument.
I sqy of in here. There are a group of her fans like to say that this site is anti her and blah blah. Very similqr to your description. But in general every artists with fans have this type of fans, lolz. Glad to know that you are not one and hope you wont jump like you claim.
It would be funnier and more entertaining if ppl dun jump. Mocking and sarcasm is an art in my opinion.
that mean when people feel taunted with your mocking and sarcasm comment, it make you have fun with sense of victory?
lol…no wonder you so infamous. Just joking.Even though sometime you pissed me off with your comment thrown about Tavia, I know you have your kind side.I also having fun time arguing with you also :p)
Good to know that a-pop. I know there are TY fans who are not too over protective like you. I like to tease the over protective fans of whoever haha. Of course I d like to be frd with good TY fans although it cant change the fact I hate her. I like to see how ppl with different opinions react.
I would have preferred the sales presentation actors too. ron ng and steven ma… “double gas” rofl
Between Ron and Kenneth, actually Kenneth is the better actor
Steven Ma lacks charisma to be such powerful figure.
But Ron is suitable for the role of MK guy more. Like in The Four can you say Ron and MM can switch role?
Ron’s role in The Four suits him but it’s smaller than Raymond and Kenneth.
But he suits the role and cant switch. Txb has intention to promote MM a lot recent years while demote Ron. Is it obvious? So it isnt strange if they’ve made Tit Sau’s part that big. If they switch role, Lang Huet will have big part. But MM as son of wolf Lang Huet? LMAO
Well, reading the sysnosip and it makes me feel like a BL love of Vincent and Chukot. One-sided love, understanding love, breakup, misunderstandings, anger, evil third party, LMAO. LKH wanna feed the BL fangirls?
KM and LF love will be cute and fangirls will be happy to see two hotties together!
I still root for 2R because they look more matchy
2R for me too! I just love how they have such a good brotherly relationship.
That’s why even Txb dun pair much 2R in series, the fans like them more than the any other couples.
LOLS That’s so true, audience like 2R more than any other couple. Well I really really like the pairing of Ron and Kate, Ray and Linda, and Ray and Ron.
My 2cent.
Tavia look mature but she not look that old
She look tired but she still pretty
People complaining her boring
I laugh them pity
This was because they just know hating
dada
Because you are a fan. Cant see the things non fan can see and vice versa. Anti or non fan wont see the good thimg fans can see. Then let make it like an intersting game to argue haha.
she doesn’t look 23 either
‘look-a-like’ 23 year old with that nose…geez.
I never think Tavia Yeung is pretty. Her acting is quite decent though.
Her acting loses steam lately. The last good thing from her was MR
Found her quite annoying in MR.
but that time still ok
Last time I found her pretty was HOG. Then Cupid stupid changes my opinion toward her acting.
imo she went downhill since Beyond the Realm
Even though people may said I bias in my opinion below, but IMO, she still can act after BTROC
Such as in A Fistful of Stances, even though she just guess appearance ,but her acting there drove me into her character especially the scene she begged the Wing Tak and police officers dun drag her into mental institution. That scene and another scene where she chased the train to get back her kidnapped son make me rolled my tear
(at that time I still not her fans but I impress with her performance)
After watching On Call. she give me impression that she have develop capability to lead the series herself with and another co-actor. I feel that she can produce a proper expression as feedback to her co-partner .For the last few episode of On Call ,beside I wow at Kenneth performance, but I also drove by Tavia into her character and performance.
Hence ,IMO. she still can act but people just feel bored to watch her same person with same hairstyle therefore complained her have same bored acting.
too add in more, the in one of the On Call 2nd last episode scene where Tavia & Kenneth make confrontation on seaside, (deja vu of Mystery OF love) , the scene where she shouted at Kenneth not to talked further anymore and cried asked him if she can for not having surgery. That scene prooved another higher level of Tavia acting skilled compare her performance in Sai Lei Mui
Who isn’t bias in their opinion?? Once again, beauty just like talent is in the eye of the beholder…
I do think there is a general accepted level of what is called a beauty. Tavia is of course pretty and I prefer her pre-surgery to tell you the truth. I can still remember some of her fine performances. But sometimes you’re not suitable, you’re not suitable. Oh don’t mention BTROC. That was the series that made her talent a mockery, in part the character was badly written but mostly because she was awful. I also blame the director.
I think why we feel she is not up to par is because we have high expectations but mostly because she is everywhere and to me over exposure is bad, more so when one group of us believe that she has no leading lady qualities.
to each own opinion. ma ming imo wowed audience in hippocratic, but imo tavia is basically the same kind of acting and expressions she has done in many different roles and series.
I dont like Raymond’s Mustache!
His beautiful face shouldnt have anything to mess it up!!!!
It looks very unnatural on him
BUT Zhuge Liang HAS that sort of moustache by the time he was working for Liu Bei!
cant wait watch ma ming…
yes. can’t wait for ma ming too 🙂
I agreed with some of you. TY looks really old especially playing a 23 years old!! I feel she’s the most miscast one here.
Not really looking forward to this drama but will give it a try b/c of the male casts and I like Sharon.
They should make her age 28-29 so that it looks more fitting for her. Some one above also said that maid don’t have to be young.
Woo! So excited to see Kenneth act in comedy series 🙂
Miscast or not doesn’t matter anymore!! Still lookinnfoward to the great cast
I kinda agree with most of commentors above that TY is sure had been miscasted for this role. Foremost, she doesn’t look 23 yrs old, she can passed as a maid’s head or supervisor.
Agreed
If Ray’s 2 great Dramas:”3 Kingdoms” and “HAL” will air this year, then what are we going to wathc next year??!!
Well LF basically films 1 series per year so I’m sure next year he will be in another one but it’s up to TVB if it will be released in the same year.
LF will get the actor award this year since after HAL he has no more series
Don’t have too high expectations on HAL as expectations might lead to disappointment.
HAL looks ok based on the sales presentation and news.
Movies, albums, China series, concerts. Many thing to watch.
Or Txb loves to mention of him, can watch these scenes.
No Txb series but can see many other things. Dun feel afraid, he wont disappear next year.
Well see how the audience reacts to Ray’s acting after 3 Kingdoms. If people or TVB starts praising, then he might win the actor award. But Kenneth is in the same drama so…Well also have to see the audience’s reactions to HAL.
Or maybe everything just really depends on who TVB likes more.
I disagree that Tavia look old in 3 Kingdom. Yes, Tavia might look very mature in some series. But, from the promo clip and trailer of 3 Kingdom that I have watched, Tavia look young.
For the purpose of her character she is too old for this role. 23 is stretching it. Maybe she should have played a widow, someone whose husband died and her age can be adjusted to her current age. And since Kenneth is supposed to be a modern guy he wouldn’t have mind that fact.
The issue now is the 23 age. She surely doesn’t look this age
Well, not really surprising. Since when did TVB show accurate ages for their characters anyway?
I think she looks young without her short professional-looking hair. Glad she’s getting rid of that haircut. After having it for 4 series, it’s good to have a change.
Is China going to ban this drama since i will went to China on monday ,where can i watch this drama if china are banning this drama?
Will China ban this drama since rich boy Raymond are in this drama ?
hey fake Kidd, China people watch online
China dun have TVB jade on free tv. Dun be worried. Or if your rich boy Raymond can do everything like you claimed, you can ask him to sponsor you a TV with TVB jade in China.
I will say yes if any China TV channels is buying this series.
Kidd are you from china or are you from outer space?
Kate confirmed that HAL(30 episodes) will air at 930pm in September.
Great news to Raymond’s fans, this can be his year 🙂
In fact it’s 1 Oct because 30 Sep is Sunday.
Yahoo!!! I have waited twelve months for “Three Kingdoms RPG” to be aired. In fact LF’s Zhu Ge Liang attire and image is quite iconic (after last year’s incident)
Oct is sweet time to be remembered for the awards 😀
I’m watching this drama for the sake that it involves time-travelling. Personally, I have no interest in the Three Kingdoms and the history involved with it. The cast is pretty nice, but I’m mainly watching it for Raymond & Tavia here. Honestly, Tavia is one of the only actresses left at TVB who can actually act.
Are we the only one’s here who likes Tavia? I’ve always liked her from the first time I saw her act. I like her even more now cause she’s the only actress/fadan who is not a chinese pagent!
Doesn’t mean I don’t like the other actresses though. I like Kate, Linda and a few other non fadan actresses.,
Hey! I also like Tavia because I find her acting to be natural. For the dramas she is in, it is always one of the high rated drama. Therefore, I am also looking forward to this drama
1st episode sucks… I think in some parts of the episode it was rush and rough edited. Nothing funny at all. Nothing worth watching it…..
