Bernice Liu uses Animals to Reduce Stress; Wasabi Mon Amour Promotion

TVB lunar new year's series, "Wasabi Mon Amour" 《和味濃情》, yesterday held a promotional event at a Japanese sushi restaurant. At the event, the cast including Bernice Liu, Joyce Tang, Lousia So and rest of the cast, played games, hitting chinese new year cakes (lin go) with a big hammer. They split into groups and made sushi, fish and satays. But when they were finished, the judges were afraid to try them!



Regarding Brokeback Mountain's male lead Heath Ledger's death, Bernice feels much pity for him because he just had a daughter, she says "his baby girl would be in great misery, so young and already lost her father." Bernice also knows that he has not been able to retrieve himself from the Brokeback Mountain character. As for her, does she have a habit of taking sleeping pills? She says, "I don't have any problems with sleeping, why would I have that habit? But pressure I definitely have, fortunately I have my parents to talk to and also my pets could help me reduce stress."



Joyce tricks Michael Tao
(Note: The first half of this paragraph may seem confusing. The whole thing of Joyce 'tricking' Michael is referring to the coincidence of the storyline and Michael's real life).

Because yesterday Michael Tao was not in Hong Kong, he was absent in the promotion. When Joyce was introducing her character, she laughs "My character name is Ah Bo (Michael's ex-wife), and we also walk our dog. (You seem to have tricked Micheal?) Even if its tricking him, it wasn't me! Maybe its fate, because in the middle of filming our martial status suddenly changed! But, I believe the scriptwriter didn't make this coincidence on purpose." Recently Joyce and rumored boyfriend Derek Kwok were photographed looking at homes sweetly together. She explains that actually that day they went for Dim Sum together with a large group of colleagues. Because she wanted to look for a house and she's generally not good with directions, so she forgot the street name, that's why Derek accompanied her. Speaking of them being sweet and happy together, would there be a chance for them to develop a relationship? She laughs, "Until the day I'm married, anyone will have a chance."

”Wasabi Mon Amour” Promotion Lacked Michael Tao

All the cast members attended the TVB new series “Wasabi Mon Amour” promotion except male lead, Michael Tao. Louisa So, Bernice Liu, and Joyce Tang was out in full force for the promotion. Joyce said that Michael was working in mainland China and couldn’t make it back to Hong Kong for the promotion. During the filming of “Wasabi Mon Amour”, rumours ran rampant about Michael’s divorce was caused by Sonija Kwok. Joyce explained it was a coincidence in the storyline that Michael and her would often walk their dog. In the series, her name is “ah Bo” which is the same as Michael’s ex-wife. In reality, Michael and his ex-wife used to walk their dog together. At the time, she asked if Michael felt awkward about the storyline and he said that it was only acting and he didn’t mind.
