Official Poster :-

I hope this is true! Yay, another Raymond drama. ^-^
Also...Bosco! Bleh...Toby? ;o

It's true.

Fung confirmed to take part in. He said tat it'll film on Feb 09.

And he won't fair wit Toby.

so many unconfirmed stars! i love ray and bosco together... they are funny

According to some news sources :

Raymond will not pair up with Toby [if she is comfirmed to be filmed] but he will be paired up with the mainland actress..


I wonder who is the mainland actress...???

Here is the gallery for Yang Xue :







Note :-

Yang Xue is the rumoured mainland actress that will be filmed for this series..So, she may not be 100% confirmed for filming this series.

wasn't this girl in blade heart with Raymond a couple of years back?? lol! I think its her....she played that evil role....

Is that the rumoured female lead who'll pair with Raymond?

Lets say IF Bosco is in the series I hope Raymond and Bosco don't play enemies. They're better off acting as close friends.

IS this series for real?
I thought they cancelled it?
Means in 2009, Fung will have 2 mainland productions?

This is the only one Mainland production he'll take part in, for 2009.

The other series Raymond will take part in is the series with Yuen Chao and Yuen Wah which might be filmed in second half of next year.

Any more information on the story or Raymond's character/pairing?

I didn't remember Yang Xue in Blade heart. Good memories you have. This means she had worked with Raymond before.

So that means Ray will end up with Yang Xue and theres a chance that Bosco will end up with Toby..yuck. Toby and Bosco...-puke-
Hate Toby. Cant Tavia be in it instead!!

Look forward to Bosco & Raymond's performance! I don't really like Toby. But it's ok

I hope this will be a good series I won't mind ray pairing up with the mainland actress yang she's pretty. I really think that if they are thinking about pairing toby and bosco up that is disguesting it'll make me gag I just hate hate hate toby. I hope she doesn't confirm she's in this series.

YAY! So is Bosco and Raymond confirmed to be in this series?!
Woot! woot!
I wish Tavia could replace Toby..
Hate Toby..

for me any TVB actress will be much better than Mainland actress

good things, is no longer Charmaine or Linda!! I would like to see Raymond with someone else..

yang xue looks really pretty in some of her pictures. hope she and raymond will have good chemistry ^^

Is Toby related to Tommy Leung Ka Shu? He seems to be favouring her. I mean he casted her in a grand production "The drive of life" when she was still new in TVB. I know her father is someone who has a rather high position in TVB...but I don't remember if he was an executive or a producer. Anyway, I'm glad Raymond isn't paired up with her.
I think Raymond and Yang Xue looked quite okay together in "Blade Heart" so I'm looking forward to see how they will fare in a modern drama.

Leung ka shu is toby father
can't wait to watch raymond and bosco
and yang xue is the girl in blade heart, she is pretty

May Not 100% accuate...

黃生說要到明年二月才拍劇，時裝劇，要到內地拍三個月。helper叫黃生考慮搞一個內地fa ns gathering，黃生說還沒肯定拍攝地方，不知道是北京還是上海。

Translation: Bosco said that the series will be filmed in February, a modern series and will be filming in mainland China. Bosco was asked to consider holding a mainland fans gathering. Bosco said that they haven't confirmed on the filming location, either Beijing or Shanghai.

p.s. Didn't Ray himself say that he won't be filming any series in 2008? Anyway, it's confirmed that this series will be filmed in 2009 (Feb) and not in Dec 2008.

Credits: LoveBosco.net

ah yang xue was in that series with nicholas and dicky! she acted as the evil girl that likes nicholas!

Anyone know the real title for this series?
Coz i saw like 3 titles for this series like..
"Star's Journey"
"Wise Men, Young Ladies"
"Picking Star Of Adventure"
And also...is Linda in this series?!
I thought she was uncomfirmed or something...
And i heard that this series would start filming in Feb and end in May...
4 month?! But not sure if it's correct.

^ The series will start in Feb and end in May. In May Ray have another modern series with Bobby.

I'm looking forward for this serie, though I don't really like mainland series but as long as both Raymond and Bosco are in it. The female leads seems not very strong, don't really like Toby's acting.

this has two young stars in it and all the others are unconfirmed but i hope that all of them will says yes. hope that this one will be great

Star's journey or Picking Star Of Adventure r just ways to translate from the China name 摘星之旅. Wise Men, Young Ladies isn't name for it.

Up to now, the confirmed cast has: Fung and Bosco only. Yeung Suet (Yang Xue) said tat she'll do series wit Fung, so she is half confirmed to be in this series. Others like Mimi Lo, Power Chan, Dominic Lam, Toby Leung and HunanTV's star Yu Hao Ming rn't confirmed.

Yesterday Bosco confirmed that he will film this series with Toby. Yeah.

So we have 2 couple: Fung-Yang Xue, Bosco - Toby now.

Yeah....Lam Ga Wah is Dominic Lam

*sigh* toby is confirmed? I'm not a huge fan so we'll have to wait and see ... but glad that Bosco and Ray are doing a series together again ... can't wait!

Ray and Bosco aren't bad; but I don't like the female leads in this series. Yang Xue is not pretty at all...she doesn't look that compatible with Raymond. Also, I really don't like mainland series and don't really think the actor/actress can act at all.

Bosco and Toby is definitely not a good pairing. How about Bosco with Selena Li? I think she's really pretty and can totally act! TVB need to do a better job sometimes of pairing the characters up.

Bosco and Selina?!
Well...i think thats better than with Toby but i really want Bosco and Tavia..
*sigh* Yang Xue is not really pretty but shes okay...
Im just happy to see Bosco and Raymond..
Hope they're friends and not ememies! LOl...

LOL I also don't like the female leads. Toby?! ...anyway yay for Raymond & Bosco.

Yay Raymond and Bosco in it. These guys are my favorite artists. What is this series about? Hotel in Mainland? Yay. They will act the guys in uniform.
Who is Toby?

Toby is the female lead with Ron Ng in Men In Pain as well as in The Drive Of Life...She is the daughter of a TVB producer, Tommy Leung

I thought Toby isnt the female lead in Drive.

Isnt Charmaine the female lead for The Drive Of Life?
I think Toby is second lead in this series..
While Yang Xue is main.

No, Toby was one of the female lead in The Drive Of Life with Ron. And you are right, Yang Xue will be the first female lead and the second one is Toby..Hope she can improve her acting skill before acting with Bosco as a couple.

?!?! I am shocked?
I thought it was Charmaine or Jessica?
Anyway, I agree. Toby should improve before acting with Bosco.
AHHHHHHH.
I cant believe Bosco told me he will film the series with Toby first X.X

Since Yang Xue is the main lead the series will be about her and Raymond more than Toby. So at least Toby won't have more screentime than Yang Xue so no need to worry much

News Update@13th December :-

Yu An An had welcomed back to film this series. Here is the picture of Yu An An if someone does not know about her...[Anyone had watched the mainland drama, Endless Love 新不了情? The main cast is Chen Kun and Fiona Sit and Yu An An is the mother of Fiona Sit in this drama...anyone had watched it before?]

Here is the picture of Yu An An :-




My thoughts :-
It is excited that Yu An An will film this series..i wonder Yu An An will be which main cast's mother in the drama? Raymond or Bosco?

She is old wife of Chow Yun Fat.

Yang Xue's acting is good, but she has villain look . I like her villain roles more than goody roles.

News Update@14thDecember :-

*Damian Lau had added into the cast.

News:

Yu On On said tat her role is a tragedy role. The series will be filmed in Shanghai.

SH? Do you know when will they start filming???

After CNY, Ms.Lok Yi Ling said tat. Means the beginning of Feb 09.

I see. Roughly about how long?

3 months. Fung and Bosco, both said so. The series will stop filming on May, I guess.

Awesome! Can't wait till the filming starts! And can't wait for fanclips! I noticed that when Raymond films outside of HK, fans always comes to visit him on the set and films him! Fans' own BTS!

I'm feeling that Damian probably plays the role of the hotel owner...rich...Probably Raymond is the son (siu yeh again).
