What’s So Special?
Under the panic and fear of the virus, characters from different backgrounds are forced to be quarantined in the same hotel for seven days. Among these characters, there are vengeance and forgiveness; loyalty and infidelity; justice and evilness, thus everybody’s various actions and thoughts will be presented in front of the audience. Using the city’s hottest topics as the package, the drama will be filled with the feel of everyday life and dark humor, portraying the various difficulties in life which are being faced by the people living in the city, thus arousing a familiar and shared resonance among the audience.

Story Outline:
In a hotel located in Wan Chai, a down-and-out police officer is getting ready to commit suicide by shooting himself; a extremely jealous husband secretly tailing after his wife, whom he suspected of having an extra-marital affair, and planning to perish together if the affair is true; A new female immigrant, who’s forced into prostitution because of livelihood, accidentally kills a prostitution client, and is prepared to destroy all evidences……
At this moment, the lobby broadcasts an announcement, saying that there’s someone who’s confirmed to have contracted the virus in this hotel. Thus the hotel will be sealed off for seven days with immediate effect. Once this news is released, it triggers everyone’s nerves in the hotel. Will the down-and-out police officer change his decision and give up the suicide attempt? Will the husband be able to investigate if his wife has really been unfaithful to him? Will anyone discover that the new female immigrant is actually a murderer?
The seven-day quarantine is about to end. Everyone will be returning to the normal outside world. But will there be any changes to their lives?

This sound really interesting. I would definitely watch it if they decide to make this series.

Oo sounds mysterious, like a who's dunnit plot, LOL!! The cast looks good so I will definately watch it if this is gonna be filmed!

Stephen Chan confirmed that this series will be filmed

Sound like Lost

wow tvb is lacking of good actresses and actors, they kept on reusing myolie sonjia bleh!

What an interesting plot...hope it wont turn out bad!!

Quarantined 7-Day Relationships (In Preparation) - Real-life Adaptation, Many Sides of Human Nature
Tentative Cast - Bobby Au-yeung, Bowie Lam, Myolie Wu, Yoyo Mung, Sonijia Kwok, Sammul Chan, Crystal Tin, Evergreen Mak

Bowie Lam claimed that the new drama, Quarantined 7-Day Relationships, uses real-life stories as a main source of the script. The story will revolve around many characters from different backgrounds, and all of them were forced to be quarantined in the same hotel for seven days due to the fear of the virus. Bowie said, "If this drama is to be filmed, I believe the characters will be very colorful. Because many different types of people will appear at the hotel, thus making the storyline more interesting."

Evergreen Mak felt that the story outline is very realistic, and it's a dark comedy. He said, "The stories which took place in the drama, they resemble the society norms which everyone can read from the newspapers. For the filming of the promotional clip this time, it showed me acting as a lustful prostitution client. There's even a social escort character in here. Many crazy and funny things occurred between both of us."

Captions:
1) Purple circle - People from different backgrounds were forced to be quaratined in the hotel for seven days. During this period, many unexpected incidents happened.

3) Due to the fear of the virus, Yoyo Mung was forced to stay within the hotel. Thus she could only use the phone to keep in touch with her family members outside.
4) Myolie Wu and Sammul Chan acted the roles of the hotel service staff. They had to look after the meals of everyone being quarantined in the hotel everyday.

The plot is interesting but TVB need to stop reusing the same faces as female leads and find more refreshing cast

Look like a fresh idea and cast to me. Definitely will support this when it is filmed



Sorry. Since when did TVB use the same faces as female leads> I don't get you. Myolie, Yoyo and Sonija in the sales presentation 2010 will have only 1 series, where as Kate, Tavia, Linda and Fala have at least 2.

Glad to see that Myo's being considered for this new drama genre. Hope she really gets to film with Bobby and Bowie to learn from them ^^

Oh...some sour grapes should just stop whining here

I'm content with the cast list!!Especially with Bobby and Myolie in it!!

Anyway,yuki9066 may I know why is the cast not refreshing to you??Or is it because someone you like is not in this series??The trio have never work before together in a series as far as I'm concern.So what's actually your problem??

If I'm not wrong Tavia,Linda,Kate and Fala has at least two series in the sales presentation and Tavia has 4 series that hasn't been aired yet so do you think TVB should change Tavia to someone else so it's more refreshing to you?

the idea is new.....lolll at least tvb is trying to break away from its usual mould of series and try new things XDDD.....

I actually find the cast really refreshing. Myolie has never worked with Bobby, Bowie, Yoyo, Crystal and Evergreen before (correct me if I'm wrong) - that alone is refreshing to see - and the last time she worked with Sonija was seven years ago.

Sonija-Bowie-Bobby would also be refreshing to see, as well as Yoyo-Bowie. Even the 3 female leads: Sonija, Yoyo and Myolie - the three has never worked together before. I'm not sure how this cast is not "refreshing" enough. At least it's not the same old cast which TVB likes to re-use all the time.

Anyway, this is just the Sales Pres. The cast isn't even confirmed.

Yeah I agree with you guys, hope the casts will confirm soon and hope Myolie will have a chance to work with Bobby and Bowie!!!
The story is great and interesting, the cast is good and refreshing to me.
Just have to wait for everything to be confirm.

I'm getting interested in the storyline already, hope it will turn out good. Seems like it's confirmed to be filmed next year, just hope they will keep the same cast, since many of them have not cooperated before. Looking forward to see the SP clip

Storyline seems cool. The plot seems a bit dark but how come it's quarantined 7 day romance. Sounds like a romantic themed series

THEY ARE!!! well would u like to give us the list of first line tvb actresses and actors? i'll tell u how many series that have

Bobby is missing for a long time I hope he can film this series or just come back for FH3

Is it really true that this series is going to start filming FEB 2010?

Seriously, some people should just stop making ignorant comments like "why is it always XXX", when in fact, there are other artistes out there with more series than the cast here do.



You know...I really thank you for the compliment. Perhaps it's really like what you said that TVB's lacking of good actresses and actors that they need to, in your opinion, keep on casting Myo. Cos like you've just indirectly implied, she's a good actress

Oh really?WOW?I didn't notice that Thanks for telling!That just probably makes them stand out among the others and that TVB actually take notice of them rather then the other artist which is a GOOD THING imo!

oh really? wow? i dint notice that thanks for telling! that just probably makes the viewers getting sick of them abit more.

Yeah,you must be one of the "sick" viewers Gaining more fans and losing a small sum of "sick" viewers.Hey it actually balance things out! You know nothing is fair in this world so who gives a damn about the small sum of "sick" viewers when you have a whole other bunch of ppl supporting you

^ no. its call freedom of speech, even if a celebrities i like, im not going to lie and say omg she/he deserve it, no! and why i dont support them because, there's some ppl out there that deserve their spot more than them, like nancy wu and bernice liu,and Anne heung. and like you said this world is unfair, and wow thats the only thing i agree with you

Now you're seriously funny. Anne Heung is no longer in the media business anymore Nancy has a couple of dramas on her - Cops, RB2, The Iron Horse Searches for the Bridge, and the upcoming A Chip Off The Old Block which is about to air. Based on your definition of "deserve" (ie in terms of number of upcoming series), how is Nancy losing out to the female cast here?? Though Bernice might not be filming any TVB series for the moment, she has an upcoming movie, another movie filming in progress, plus a completed TVB series.

Even if you wanna reason, get your facts right first. Oh, and please don't bother throwing us other names of actresses

THATS the reason why she left ! and about nancy, would u like to list the dramas that she got first lead role ?????

Sonija-Bowie worked together before, same as Sonija-Myolie, But not three together, so pretty fresh

At this moment, there arent many leading fa dan at TVB. Also, Myolie is a pretty good actress. If she was given a right script, she could shine

LMAO why bring Tavia here. Why I'm implying is not freshness in terms of collaboration but why not use this to promote new fresh faces as leads since we keep seeing repeated female leads in TVB series.

Where's Bernice(only 1 upcoming TVB series), Leila who is a very good young actress, Nancy who is still due for her female lead and so on

It's definitely not any other ppl's problem if Nancy is not given a lead role!It's TVB!!Nancy entered TVB two years later then Myo so you expect a junior to lead over a senior??Besides,she's not from the pageant so it's definitely "tougher" for her to get lead roles.Like I said before life is not FAIR!You can't blame any other celeb for getting lead roles!It's like a task given by their boss for pete sake!!Just say if you were given a lead role in a series do you think you will be so "kind" to tell your boss "Hey,I don't want to be lead because I have no potential,you can give it to someone else"



Oh,why bring Tavia here??First,because you said the cast of this series is "un-refreshing".Second,because you think TVB is reusing the same faces as leads and Third,because you think Myo has a lot of series next year.

Therefore,I'm using Tavia as an "example" because she had 4 series next year and mostly are leads plus a few upcoming unconfirm series as lead too so I'm just wondering if you think those series are "un-refreshing" because TVB kept using the same face as female lead.

About Bernice she has been focusing on filming movies nowadays so how is she suppose to film TVB series??Leila too is in mainland filming series and bare in mind she is NOT a TVB contracted artist so why would TVB give a chance to some outsider?

I couldn't resist replying to your post which I find very amusing! Why not? For example, Charmaine was leading over Nnadia Chan and Annie Man in Strike at Heart So you're implying that inorder to get the lead. every girl should enter a Beauty Contest?! How about Jessica Hsuan, Nnadia Chan, Tavia Yeung and Flora Chan, they are have been leads and they didn't have to flaunt their bodies to get noticed!

Why bring Tavia in? Isn't she one of the repeated female lead faces that appear in TVB series as well? No? Then why just use this drama specifically to promote new faces, but not others? Cos there's someone in the cast whom you wanna pick on?



That's only your assumption on Anne's departure. Mind backing up with evidence like articles or interviews which quoted her saying that??

Nancy got her Most Improved only last year. I believe her lead role should be coming soon, and I'm hoping too that TVB gives more opportunities to her. Then again, why this drama? Because you, like yuki9066, have someone in the cast that you dislike? So it's more of a case of picking on then?



She didn't imply that, but it's the TVB norm. But of course, it's not as twisted as you'd put it.

You gave a bad example. Charmaine already rose to fame during Strike At Heart period (2004). She had gained recognition and got lead roles after her breakthrough in Return of Cuckoo (2000). So I don't see how strange it will be for Charmaine to be getting the first lead.

I'm okay with the cast (a fan of some, not a fan of some) but I think it is refreshing, so I hope TVB doesn't change it or get rid of anyone (or add in anyone). I'd like to see Myolie paired up with any one of the three guys. The plot is also new so i hope TVB does decide to film it and make it good.

How do you know that she didn't imply that? I rather have her tell me this than having someone to speak for her! And how is it twisted? I'm saying like it is!!



No I didn't , From this quote Charmaine is the junior and Nnadia and Annie are the seniors cos they have been acting longer than Charmaine



Tavia was portraying a character in a series!!

Although I am not a Myolie and Sonija fan, I dont agree that
.
As a matter of fact, Myolie has only two series this year- Burning Flames III and the upcoming A Chip Off The Block. Yes, she does have series which have already finish filming but they have not been aired yet. Plus, in the sales presentation, she only has one series, ie this series. It's even more funny that someone actually says TVB kept on reusing Sonija. She has The Greatness Of A Hero but it's been warehoused and then finally she has DIE Again and just an episode in ICAC 2009. How possible is that she is being "kept on reuse"? The only series she has for 2010 (if you exclude this series) would be Safety First. Does that count as being "kept on reuse"?

Indeed, Sonija-Myolie-Yoyo have not worked together before, althought Sonija has worked together with Myolie & Yoyo separately. And with the addition of Bobby, Bowie and Sammul. It looks quite a good cast to me.

What's the big deal? TVB films over 20 series a year. They have maybe 10 contracted actresses who are of "leading" status. What's wrong with having 2 series a year?

Yet when TVB uses new actresses, it's the SAME individuals who whine about how these people shouldn't be given lead roles so fast.

Why am I not surprise that you find my post amusing?
Your "example" of a junior leading over a senior is a rare one and I'm trying to say you don't normally see a JUNIOR leading over a senior.It's natural to see someone who enters the industry earlier leading over someone who enter the industry later.Besides,I'm not implying that in order to get lead roles one need to be from the pageant!I said it's tougher because artist from acting class or other alternatives besides pageant started out with cameo roles or probably hosting before they could get any supporting roles in a series where artist who comes from the pageant usually started out with supporting roles.Therefore do not assume before you can get that word "tougher" process in your system
At least the other artist from the pageant had a chance to "flaunt" their bodies and be proud of their assets rather then getting "unnoticed" for a period of time before they get famous and then only get the chance to "flaunt" their bodies in a series.

Hey, take it as a compliment, cos it got my attention!!




Well, if you said that earlier, then you might not have seen my post!!



Flaunting their bodies in Beauty contests doesn't neccessary mean that they'll get noticed straight away!! BTW getting to flaunt their bodies in a series is called ACTING!! If they don't like a particular role then they can refuse it! Whereas having a "Bikini round" in a Beauty Contest is compulsory!

Hey, I look forward to your reply!!

But that's a different comparison. Charmaine already had around 8 to 10 first lead roles of experience prior to Strike drama. If you mean Nancy has 8 first lead roles of experience prior to this drama for her to lead over Myo/Sonijia/Yoyo, then fine

I have no idea what you are talking about! I never ever mentioned that Nancy has 8 first lead roles of experience prior to this drama for her to lead over Myo/Sonija/Yoyo!! Get your facts right!! I was only quoting and giving out my opinions!

Isn't tavia willing to show her body now?


Since you said it's acting and I assume you're right. Is that mean those who acted sexy role such as Tavia in DB tried to flaunt her body to get notice? As you said, she can decline the role but she chose to accept it.

I don't know, why don't you enlighten me on that! And whats this got to do with this thread?


Why should she decline the role if she feels comfortable with it! And what exactly is your point?


Don't forget I wasn't the one who started to talk about Tavia's role in Dicey Business!

And I'm still quoting and giving out my opinions!

I can't wait for Quarantined 7 Day Romance with Bobby!!

^ omg go get a life doode!!!

^ Because I've offended someone? And I already have a life and am very happy with it. Thanks for caring.

You gave Charmaine/Annie as an example, but to put this example into the context of Nancy/Myo/Yoyo/Sonijia, it wouldn't fit. I was just replying to your opinion as well, that's why I said previously that it was a BAD example to back up your opinion. Maybe you should give some thought too, before replying for the sake of replying

loool hahahahaha okay

Someone answered it for me.


Since Tavia didn't refuse the role, then that must mean she likes the role and wants to get the chance to flaunt her body to get noticed while acting.


You said she didnt use her body to get attention.

Please don't act stupid here to make confusion.

^


Now let us wait for this series to confirm its cast and see how TVB will handle the fresh style of series
