It turns out that Raymond and Elaine's relationship dates back to when Raymond first debuted and worked as TVB8's host. Back then because of the 'Siu Lung Lui' incident, Raymond was able to interview her: "Over 10 years ago, I interviewed Elaine Ng before. It was that incident, which gave me the only chance to see her. After so many years, she is still my senior after all. (At the time did you speak up during the interview?) Yes, actually it was just a surrounding interview because at the time, there were too many other reporters at the scene." Raymond reveals this is his first time portraying a member in the law enforcement, and is fortunate that shooting starts after the Lunar New Year, giving him time for him to physically train himself.
Elaine's last TVB series was Legal Entanglement (2001), and this will be her comeback series after 10 years. She was asked how she became interested in accepting this series? She said: "A 30 episode story is very good. Also, I've been watching my partner Michael Miu's works since The Fearless Duo (1984), many of my female friends are envious that I get to work with him. They also said Michael's looks are better than the past. (Are there any kiss scenes?) I don't know. We do have a relationship in the series, and have a child after the divorce. (Will you refuse to kiss scenes?) Television is different from film. After all there is a limit. Artists don't really have much that they we don't want to shoot, just as long as its not a kiss scene during the time we eat." When speaking of Raymond once interviewed her in the past, Elaine frankly expressed it's been too long that she can't remember. It's been over 10 years, but she does remember one time they had hot pot in Shanghai.
Kate appeared as a pregnant woman for the costume fitting, she expressed she doesn't know who's baby she's carrying yet because the plot has not been fully confirmed. It is possible she's pretending to be pregnant to traffic drugs. Kate said: "I have the most miserable role in this series. In order to raise my younger brother, I had to sell pirated material and work as a 'boxer' at a bar. Later, I become a known 'Drug Queen'. The role really has a lot of room for development, so I must thank the producer. This Lunar New Year, I will have homework to do, since I need to know how to play the drinking game 'chai mui' and have to use a lot of slang words."
As for Ella Koon, not counting the series she guest starred in, it has been 6 years since she's been in a TVB series. When asked if she had to confirm who her partner was before accepting? Ella said: "I trust TVB's selections, feels quite suitable for me to portray. (Will you avoid series with Ron Ng?) This time I'm very happy to collaborate with Raymond Lam because we never collaborated before. Many of my female friends screamed when they learned about this, I will really have to enjoy these 3 months. (Any kiss scenes?) I don't think so, the story is about me having a crush on Raymond, he later chooses Kate Tsui."
