Priscilla Wong is Sick of Wearing Wedding Dresses


Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) and Priscilla Wong (黃翠如) are involved in a very confusing and tumultuous relationship in their upcoming TVB drama, Two Steps from Heaven < 幕後玩家>. A few days ago, the onscreen pair shot a rather bittersweet wedding scene together. After reciting their vows and exchanging a sweet kiss, Bosco suddenly vomits blood and falls to the ground.

Showrunner and producer Joe Chan (陳維冠), unsatisfied with the way how Bosco and Priscilla presented their kiss, required them to do the kiss four more times. Priscilla’s real-life boyfriend, Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), also stars on the show as Priscilla’s ex-boyfriend.

Bosco noticeably struggled with his dialogue while reciting his vows during the scene. The actor joked, “Of course [I struggled]. There was pressure!” (Are you worried that you’ll upset Edwin?) “Of course not! We’re all as close as family. I struggled because I was trying hard not to laugh.”

Priscilla said she wasn’t embarrassed while doing the scene, saying, “We’re all professionals here. Actually, this scene was nothing compared to the other kissing scene I had with Bosco. That one was very daring and definitely something I’ve never done before.”

In Two Steps from Heaven, Priscilla’s character is romantically involved with both Edwin and Priscilla. It’s a confusing love triangle indeed—Priscilla said she had to wear five different wedding dresses on separate occasions. “It’s gotten me so confused. My character was involved with Edwin, but then I end up with Bosco. I’ve had five weddings for this drama. It’s absolutely horrifying. I don’t want to wear them anymore!”

Was Priscilla sad that the groom was not Edwin? She immediately changed the topic and said, “We thought doing the scene during a rainstorm would make the wedding sad and beautiful, but it didn’t rain in the end!”

Two Steps from Heaven, a soap opera about three friends and their attempts to build a business empire, also stars Louis Cheung (張繼聰) and Alice Chan (陳煒).
