Kenneth Ma no taste in fashion, Tavia Yeung takes him out clothes shopping

Last night Norman Leung hosted a celebration dinner for the cast and crew of TVB series The Hippocratic Crush and announced that there will be a sequel. Lead actor and actress Kenneth Ma and Tavia Yeung are currently busy shooting for pre-modern series Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles and attended in their costumes.

Kenneth Ma has been accepting series after series, but he modestly said it's not much of a harvest. It is all thanks to THC's high ratings that he got more public event job opportunities and is another source of income. He hopes to save enough money to get a bigger house. When reporters teased him asking if he needs a 'golden house to keep a mistress'? Kenneth jokingly said: "If I'm rich, I don't mind. I want a bigger house, enough for 7 people to live in. This is for the convenience of my sister bringing her two children to visit us, and have more room to move around." Kenneth also believed that home investment is far more practical and valued than having famous cars or watches.

Earlier Lawrence Ng publicly praised Kenneth's good acting. Kenneth thanked 'Ching Ji Mei' (Lawrence's role in Healing Hands) for his appreciation. "I thought he didn't watch. Actually Healing Hands's Dr. Ching Ji Mei is an icon. This time, our doctor roles are more on the greater scale, different from their type." Kevin Cheng also praised that he has hope for the TV King title this year. Kenneth was very grateful: "Have to really thank this big brother, he loves me a lot too. Often times, he gives me advice on what to wear and the way I dress. He also told me he'll take me along to develop in Mainland." When speaking of him lacking a female companion to dress him up? Kenneth claimed that Tavia should take him out for clothes shopping because there will be a discount. He laughed and said this is what Tavia suggested, so he's not worried to be called the 'light bulb' between Tavia and Him Law.

Tavia teased Kenneth's outfit that he looks like a waiter and told him to put on a suit jacket: "Today, he initially came here without the suit jacket. It was only when I said he's always looking like a waiter, that he put that jacket on." Tavia continued to tease her partner: "He has everything, he has a house, he has the acting, but he just doesn't have any taste in fashion. He really needs to change his image, in order to reach the a higher level. Although I don't really have much knowledge on fashion myself, but as a friend I'm not trying to bash him, just giving advice and trying to help him. He is happy to accept any advice, just not many people tell him. (But he has no girl?) Leave it to fate." Tavia also said she doesn't mind taking Kenneth out to shop for clothes, just as long as time allows her to do so.

Yat Kin Tau's Love Declaration Surpasses 200,000 Hits

In the 24th episode of "The Hippocratic Crush", Yat Kin Tau (Kenneth Ma), 'hijacked' doctor colleagues Tong Yuen and Wing's wedding by pulling Yue Jai (Tavia Yeung) on stage to propose. The scene was romantic and intense. This 'Love Declaration' scene received praises from netizens, and has surpassed 200,000 hits on YouTube within a few days.

Yat Kin Tau told Yue Jai that the wedding vows must be acted on. He said, "When young, beautiful and healthy, so certainly love. However, when the other gradually ages, old and defeated, has more and more illnesses, and even watching the other die of old age...so, no longer love then? Since, in the future, will not abandon each other...now should be the same. If just because the other has an illness and not love, then it's not true love. [No one knows one's life span.] Even we, as doctors, cannot guarantee that we'll live to a hundred. Thus, there is no guarantee of growing old together in marriage vows, but must guarantee that, whether in sickness or in health, must be together". Some netizens praised Kenneth's performance as being sincere and natural...still touched after re-watching it.

"On Call 36 Hours" confirmed to film sequel!

杨怡[2012/03/19]第十六屆香港國際影視展On Call 36小時續集已經確定即將開拍

Kenneth Ma just found out that the original cast will be filming a sequel. Although he still does not know when filming will begin and whether the characters will be continuing on, he believes that it will still be a hospital setting.

When Kenneth was asked whether he was confident in becoming a housewife killer like Lawrence Ng's Dr. Ching Chi Mei in "Healing Hands", as well as filming a number of sequels, he said, "I am Cheung Yat Kin; there are differences to Ching Chi Mei. Hope that my girlfriend is still Yue Jai (Tavia Yeung). Believe that it would also be very enjoyable to watch us portray a couple for another 25 episodes...do not want it to be like Ching Chi Mei's girlfriends...all dying".

Tavia hopes for sequel after sequel

The finale of The Hippocratic Crush staring Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma averaged at 37 points, currently securing first place in ratings among other TVB series aired this year.
