Joe Ma, Kate Tsui, and Johnson Lee at “Harmony is a Virtue” Costume Fitting

TVB’s new comedy drama Harmony is a Virtue <以和為貴> held is costume fitting press conference on August 26. It features Joe Ma (馬德鐘), Kate Tsui (徐子珊), and Johnson Lee (李思捷) in the lead and is slated to run for 20 episodes.

Joe Ma portrays a second generation gangster, whose father is the leader of a triad. He is humorous, witty, and does not take his job as a gangster seriously. At the press conference, Joe took off his jacket to show off his tattoos, causing Kate Tsui to break into laughter.

Kate said her character will have a lot of romantic tension. She is married to Stefan Wong (黃長興), but her husband fools around often and has a mistress (Carat Cheung 張名雅). Joe Ma comes in between her and Stefan, leading Kate to divorce Stefan. Kate anticipates filming the comedy, as it has been a few years since she last worked with Joe.

Johnson Lee portrays a competitive lawyer who changes girlfriends left and right. In the series, he will be pursuing Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎) and Elena Kong (江美儀). Kate said Johnson has very charismatic eyes and expects him to have a lot of chemistry with the women. “I will try to avoid his eyes during filming,” Kate said with a laugh.

Joe Ma Wants to Stay in Hong Kong

Harmony is a Virtue will be Joe’s last drama with TVB according to his contract. He intends to sign a new contract and will continue to work with TVB in the future.

Joe will also try to maintain both a career in Hong Kong and mainland China, “I’ve been in talks to star in [mainland] dramas. I want to try new things. However, I also miss the Hong Kong audience, so I’ll balance both sides.”

  1. this looks like another stupid “mo liu” drama….. -____-

  2. how does guys like Johnson Lee get to be an actor… and also a magnet for so damn many chicks.

    1. Yeah seriously. I dont hate him or anything but unfortunately he just can NOT act.

    1. She actually looks natural in the above picture, without the eyelashes and rigid hairdo. If only she could stay like that in dramas, it would be a lot more comfortable to watch.

  3. Joe is too old for his character as the triad son & Kate doesn’t do well in comedy (she doesn’t do well in any, girl can’t act). Johnson gives off the gold fish man vibe, big contrast & age diff between Jacqueline Wong & Elena Kong if they r his love interest.

    1. Anything Joe Ma in it. It’s a no brainer. 😀 :p :O( 😛

  4. To be honest, I’m tired of watching Kate dramas. Edwin would fit as a better role than Joe because he has a baby face.

  5. Joe – miscast.
    Kate – so wrong in comedy proven by Bounty Lady and the CNY movie

    Audience don’t miss you Joe. Next.

    1. Agreed about Joe. Kate’s acting was good in the Bounty Lady. 😀

      1. You think so ……. especially Kate Tsui? Personally I don’t think so.

  6. Wow Carat Cheung is in. She is extremely beautiful and talented. TVB should groom her to become future fadan

  7. dammit Kate in a tvb series skip……..even tho Joe and Elena Kong is in it

  8. Beats me how those two clowns can get lead roles. Is TVB that short of quality actors? What about plans to bring the veterans back like Andy and Tony? I guess they scrapped that after all…

    1. It will be hard bring back those guys… They can’t even bring back nick gallen Louis bowie deric and couldn’t even keep Raymond Michael tse Steven ma

    2. Who wants to do long-hour filming TVB drama series with low pay? Definitely not Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Lau Ching Wan or Louis Koo!

      1. They all did little girl. Don’t forget where you come from. 😀 :O( LOL!

  9. Would you look at that! Kate with no scray, mile-long thick fake lashes!! Thought I would never see the day, lol. Good for her. I hope she’s turning a new leaf with her acting too. Might (big MIGHT) give this series a try. Though….

    The costumes look hideous. It’s like they copied KC’s Ghetto Justice character but gone completely bad and awful.

    I agree that the role sounds too young for Joe, though I do like and prefer him over Him, Oscar and the likes. Ruco would have been better since he’s younger and looks good as a thug. Edwin seems to be too wimpy for the role.

  10. OMG! I didn’t know blond hair on Asians is back in fashion! Used to think Johnson was funny till he got too big for his boots and started showing his true colors as a touchy feely lecher and creep. Disappointed with Joe Ma too. Both have “salty pig hands”.

  11. yay Kate drama !! Looking forward to this drama! I love all four main characters ( ie Kate joe Johnson & Elena) thank god they didn’t put weird new people as second leads lol. 🙂 TOTALLY EXCITED FOR THIS!
