Several years ago, Roger Kwok Chung On gained immense popularity by portraying mentally challenged characters inSquare Pegs (戆夫成龙)and Life Made Simple (阿旺新傳). Next month, Charmaine Sheh Si Man will also have the opportunity to play a mentally challenged character in the upcoming series, The Colorful World of Sister Fa (花花世界花家姐) which will also star Raymond Lam Fung. Allegedly, Charmaine’s role will be very high profile and may even help her win the Best Actress Award again.After filming Justice, My Foot (審死官) with Roger Kwok, Charmaine will shoot for twenty-episode series, The Colorful World of Sister Fa. As a delivery girl working at a restaurant, Charmaine’s character will have the mental capability of a ten-year-old girl. In the inspiring series, despite Charmaine’s mental disability, she faces life’s obstacles with perseverance. Her younger sister, Toby Leung Ching Kei, will be bullied by her supervisor at work, Raymond Lam. To protect Toby, Charmaine will work at the same company. As a spoilt rich heir, Raymond throws away the family fortune and in his impoverished state, falls in love with Charmaine.
Producer Kwan Wing Chung said, “Mentally challenged characters offer a great opportunity for actors. Charmaine is still filming in China now. Before leaving China , she will visit a school with mentally disabled children to gather research for the role.”
Raymond Lam Happy to Play Spoilt Heir
Raymond Lam said that he was unafraid that Charmaine will steal the limelight in The Colorful World of Sister Fa. “I always wanted to play flawed characters, to increase my acting versatility. If the audience hates the actor after watching the series, [the portrayal was successful] and I would be happy from an acting standpoint.”
Last year, Raymond and Charmaine wore matching outfits at a promotional function, sparking romantic rumors. Raymond said, “We will not have any more matching outfits, since I have my own clothing sponsor now. Due to our numerous past collaborations, I know Charmaine very well and am unafraid of rumors.”
Heavily promoted by TVB, Raymond’s new series Growing Through Life <摘星之旅> will be broadcast in August. Currently, he is rehearsing for his upcoming July concert. Yesterday, he was practicing with Kate Tsui Chi San and Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, who will be guest performers at the concert. Raymond thanked Kate and Ron for their participation. Ron said, “I should thank Raymond instead for allowing me the chance to perform at the concert. As his friend, I am happy about his upcoming concert.”

My thoughts:
Raymond Lam role looks similar to Golden Faith. The plot a bit ridiculous.
