Vincent Wong, Selena Li, and Eliza Sam at “Flat Slave” Costume Fitting

With the recent exodus of its top stars, TVB assembled a fresh cast for upcoming drama Flat Slave <樓奴>. The comedy centers around the difficulties of purchasing a flat amidst Hong Kong’s skyrocketing real estate prices. The series’ theme is regarded as a bridge between TVB’s 2000 drama Ups and Downs <無業樓民> and the 2012 drama, L’Escargot <缺宅男女>.

Starring alongside Vincent Wong are Selena Li (李詩韻), Evergreen Mak (麥長青), Kiki Sheung (商天娥), Eliza Sam (岑麗香), and Toby Chan (陳庭欣).

The drama, produced by Law Chun Ngok (羅鎮岳), features Vincent Wong as a handsome cook who is very popular with the ladies. His girlfriend later breaks up with him due to her materialistic personality. Vincent said he has never met a girl like that in real life, adding, “I am poor myself. Both my wife and I work hard together for our family. We have a lot of people so I need to buy a bigger flat.” Vincent said he is eyeing a 1000 square feet apartment in Hong Kong Island. “I’m saving money for the down payment. Hopefully, I’ll be able to do it in five years.”

Eliza Sam portrays a girl who recently returned to Hong Kong from overseas. Eliza, who is Canadian, said the role fits her background. She also recently visited her own family in Canada. Asked if she plans to buy a flat in Hong Kong, she said she is a frugal person, but will work hard and save money so she can purchase her own property in Hong Kong in the future.

Although Selena Li owns a few properties around Hong Kong, she revealed her goal to save more money so she can move into a bigger home. Selena did not avoid questions concerning her new boyfriend, and even admitted that she does not plan to cohabit with him. She also said they will not buy property together. “A woman should be able to make her own money so she can earn the respect from others.”

  1. hmm,a cook that is materialistic,sound unrealistic,if one is materialistic will he become a cook?…interesting

    1. He is not. His girlfriend is n she break up with him because he is poor.

    2. I believe they referred the girlfriend as materialistic

      1. Thumbs up Vincent for getting the 1st lead. :))

    1. “Is Vincent Wong slowly losing his muscles?”

      If so, it’s a good thing. He looked too bulky in that other photo. I can’t tell the timeline of the photos but how do people lose muscle bulkiness?

      1. You’ll lose muscle mass if you stop working out. Muscle essentially turns to fat. It’s easy to bulk up at first, but if you don’t keep up it’ll turn intk fat and that’ll make it harder to regain or return that flab into muscle again.

      2. Okay, so how to have less muscle without it turning into fat? Cardio 7 days/week?

      3. Muscles don’t turn into fat if you don’t use them lol. Muscles and fat are completely different things and just because you don’t use your muscles, doesn’t mean they’ll turn to fat.

      4. Where is that guy commenter who shared his pic to challenge HXM’s underwear ad? He ought to know the answer.

    2. Yes! Congratulation to Vincent!. Cant wait to see him act.

  2. If Vincent hasn’t been working out lately, he will lose muscle definition. One has to put in time 3-4 times at 1-2 hrs each week to maintain ones physique. In Hong Kong with all the hustle and bustle especially in the entertainment business, there is no real free time to get that long of a work-out routine in consistently unless that person can survive without sleep which I doubt.

  3. Looking forward to this series, but not looking forward to watching Eliza Sam playing yet another character who returns to Hong Kong from overseas.
    Really, the idea is getting stale!

  4. I would love to c this cuz Vincent’s in it but idk about Eliza Sam her acting is bad and never improve don’t know how she got most improves actress

  5. Congratulations, Vincent Wong. You finally got a 1st lead role. Hope you will excel in this drama series to get established as a 1st line siu sang.

    1. Yeah, happy for him too! But I’m not too sure if he got what it takes, but this guy sure can act! Just that I’m too used to see him in villain roles.

      1. Wow I knew one day Vincent would become 1st lead one day but never knew it would be this quick. i THINK IT’S BECAUSE VERTERNS LIKE RAYMOND lAM LEAVEING AND THEY NEED NEW MAINS AND VINCENT HAS BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB.

      2. Yeah, kinda quick for him to take the leading role, but I think it’s the timing and a little bit of luck. Hope he won’t let us down! 🙂

  6. Another one to skip besides that bicycle drama starring Sammy Shum and the Ms Hk runner up. The first time i saw vincent in the football drama (the one starring Bobby Au Yeung and Shereen Tang), i thought he looked weird. I still do.

  7. Congrats Vincent for the first time being lead :). This one looks good to me since it is fresh and not the same faces all the time. Well, I like the fact that I admire all in the cast.

    1. What else can she be? Not versatile enough , so boring. Lucky Selena is in it others wise wouldn’t waste my time watching it.

  8. those who say muscles will turn into fat are real slobs who have never workout in real life an they are also stupid because scientifically it is not possible for muscles to turn into fat.
    Please read more to gain more knowledge instead of spewing nonsense here

  9. Yay Vincent pairing up with Selena again. Looking forward to their chemistry again.
