Omg, Louisa looks so old in that costume. Something needs to be done to her hairstyle; it just doesn't suit her. And Nancy's costume looks cool, though.

Louisa + Sunny don't really make a good couple...but maybe I'll learn to like them. It's always cool to see a fresh couple.

Nancy looks so pretty in her costume. She looks beautiful in almost any ancient-drama costume.

This series sounds very interesting. I agree...the cast list isn't very strong. I wonder whom Nancy will pair up with...or if she will pair up with.

Ah Wayne is also in it! xD, perhaps there will be some funny scenes!

Nancy! She looks really pretty in her outfit, but the male cast isn't that...appealing.

I actually quite like the cast :lol: especially glad that Sunny & Nancy & Jack are in the series. I felt that the last past series where Sunny was in were really good. WAD, PR, LG and so on .. I'm expecting this series to do well also :)

& I'm glad Nancy has another series, she's got potential, same with Jack :) I wonder why Jack isn't mentioned in the cast list in the first post? Hope he is not getting a small role & will be paired up with Nancy. They were quite cute in Ten Brothers ^^

Also, here is a picture from the blessing ceremony :)

This looks interesting. Poon Ga Tak is a good producer and I like fantasies/costume dramas. Glad to see TVB had the good sense to bring Liu Kai Chi back- one really great veteran actor- and I am happy to to see that Jack Wu is in this.

Does Jack and Nancy really look cute together? I think the whole thing that ruined my impression of them in TenBrothers was his... hairstyle. But they're good. Leila+Chris did a little better, though.

Not looking forward to this. It really sucks that TVB chose to warehouse 'Sweetness in the Salt' & 'Greatness of a Hero' over this drama? The casts is so weak, especially when compared to 'GOAH'. 'SITS' is a great drama too, oh well.

This is a comedy drama, right? Well..not really looking forward
to it since I don't really like the cast, but I'll watch episode 1 and see. x]
Also, Louisa's hair is a big no-no. >.< Nancy looks pretty, though. =]

I agree. I think Nancy is made for ancient series or something since she looks stunning in ancient serials. (Okay, yes - most of the time - since it depends on who's doing the make-up and custome, etc. since I just remember the disaster in Face to Fate - she was robbed.)

I don't mind giving this a miss after seeing the preview in Astro. The voices are annoying and I hate Liu Kai Chi's character. The shaking of his body is too annoying and that gesture was repeated too many time in just one preview.

Sunny Chan accused of another sexual harassment case, urges to release names

TVB's new series "The Winter Melon Tale" cast members Sunny Chan, Liu Kai Ji, Nancy Wu, E02 and Producer Poon Ka Dak attended the promotional event. Female lead, Louisa So was absent because she's in the States for some education and was not able to attend. Louisa was replaced by a cardboard cutout of her and did the promotion for the series through the phone.

Yesterday at the promotion, Sunny Chan was about the recent incident of a Mainland male singer who exposed that there was a Hong Kong Actor who was drunk and tried to "manipulate" the girls around him, but he did not reveal the name of the Actor, he only told Reporters to look on his blog where the pictures were posted. On the blog, only pictures of Sunny Chan, Eric Tsang, Eric Suen and Edmund So were seen. As for being a suspect once again for another "salty pig hand" incident, Sunny sighed and said: "I don't even know this person, I'm not sure what the problem is, so I don't need to respond. If something did happen, just reveal the name, I do not want to second guess someone's motives." This is not the first time Sunny had been involved in such incident, he was asked if he has some kind of special fate with these types of news? He said: "I will not respond. I collaborated with many different people in series and I took many pictures with other people, I cannot remember so many things. (In the future, when you take pictures, will you be more careful?) I take many pictures every day, if someone told you that they like you, will you just reject taking pictures with them? The entertainment business is like this, when there's space, there will always be someone talking about you."

Nancy Wu expressed that in the series she and Ellesmere Choi will have scenes together, as to Ellesmere haven't been present in the promotions, Nancy frankly said that she doesn't know and was asked if its because he was on the news headlines earlier that he rejected to attend? She said: "The characters from the series are all very healthy, I feel that he won't be avoiding to attend because of the past incident. I believe that the Producer treats all artistes very well, maybe in the next promotion he will be here." In the series, Nancy plays a Fox and when she gets angry, her eyes will turn read and her 9 tails will appear. Asked if she's worried that children might not like her role? Nancy said that she believes that the children will know that it will only happen when she gets angry.

What is this series? Does anybody rate it?
I've given it a miss, because I don't find the cast appealing at all.
But can someone please let me know if it's worth watching...

i only watched the trailer for this and i thought it sucks already....and it looks totally fake. I feel like tvb dramas are not as good as the old. sometimes i have to watched the old ones when i have nothing to watch because they are a little bit better than the ones right now.
