"Meet The Daughters-In-Law" not about Fala Chen
30 Sep – The upcoming TVB series tentatively titled "Meet The Daughters-In-Law" about two friends who become rivals when they became actresses and whose relationship is made worse when they marry into the same family, has sparked speculations that the series was inspired by the rivalry between Fala Chen and Maria Zhuge.
When Fala was in a relationship with Neway heir Daniel Sit, the 31-year-old actress was rumoured to have secretly married the businessman and has since then found herself being compared to Daniel's brother Ernie's celebrity wife, Maria Zhuge.
It was speculated that both Fala and Maria fought to gain the favour of their in-laws, and their rivalry was made worse when Maria announced her pregnancy. However, their rivalry allegedly ended when Fala broke up with Daniel in June.
According to HK Channel website, the series' producer Kwan Wing Chung dismissed these speculations, "There is definitely no allusion to anyone's relationship. We just wanted to give an entertaining comedy about rich families and the entertainment business, as it creates the most discussion within the public."
When asked if the ratings will be lower since it will be aired during the Lunar New Year, Kwan stated, "In the past, Lunar New Year dramas have been well-received by viewers because they can enjoy it while on holiday."
