HONG KONG, November 18, 2023 – A constellation of established and emerging talent, including Kenneth Ma, Elaine Yiu, Elena Kong, Joey Law, Hera Chan, Tiffany Lau, and Gigi Leung, gathered today to promote their highly anticipated new legal drama, The Unstoppable Prosecutor, offering a blend of serious court conflict, unexpected comedy, and campus romance, with several cast members revealing unique challenges and personal milestones related to the production.
The series, which centers on a complex legal practice, showcased actress Elaine Yiu in a surprising spotlight moment. Yiu, who plays a sharp professional frequently seen in tight skirts, recreated a memorable scene involving leg-baring that she jokingly referred to as her career’s “high-light moment.” She noted the stark difference between filming the scene three years ago—when she had a single child and felt confident—and today, as a mother of two infants, one still breastfeeding. “My physique is slightly less defined now, so I instinctively wanted to cover up while attempting the pose again,” she remarked. Yiu also enthusiastically detailed a surprising campus romance subplot with emerging star Arnold Kwok, admitting she proactively requested the director include more intimate scenes. “Knowing he was such a handsome young talent, I urged the producer for some close interaction—I even encouraged him to hug me, which was great fun, although he remained very shy,” Yiu confessed, adding that her interactions with veteran Kenneth Ma were strictly fraternal.
Ma, who plays a key figure in the series, is paired with Elena Kong (Chen Wei), though their characters’ relationship history is depicted by younger actors. Ma highlighted the complexity of his role, which relies heavily on intense, dialogue-driven confrontations. “It’s a demanding role with a lot of lines, emotion, and character detail to memorize, but ultimately very rewarding,” he said.
Actor Makes Musical Debut Amid ‘Traumatic’ Scene Recount
Joey Law, transitioning into a key supporting role, unveiled a new skill by performing his first-ever song, the drama’s theme track, Tears of the Punished. Law admitted to extreme shyness regarding singing, stating he had to convince himself he was a “pop star” before taking the stage as his primary identity remains that of an actor. He recounted a chaotic recording session: “I made so many mistakes during the recording that I genuinely thought I’d be recording all night.” He expressed hope that production company executives were pleased with his debut and would offer future opportunities.
The promotional event also featured a comedic recreation of a dramatic scene between Law and Hera Chan, centered on a frantic search. Law humorously recalled the physical intensity of Chan’s performance during filming three years prior. “She was so aggressive that she exposed me,” he joked, referring to a wardrobe malfunction on set. “I still feel slight psychological trauma over that wardrobe mishap.” Chan, for her part, stressed that her wild on-screen persona does not reflect her real character.
Star Addresses Paparazzi Snaps and Relationship Rumors
Tiffany Lau, who portrays an auctioneer in the drama, shared a memorable filming experience involving a scene requiring a late-night shoot in an isolated area, which was compounded by a chilling atmosphere due to recent grisly real-life events.
Away from the set, Lau addressed rumors about her dating life, clarifying that she has been an avid pickleball player for six months, not recently picking up the sport due to a breakup. She recounted playing alongside other celebrities, including members of the popular boyband ERROR and singer Keung To. Lau downplayed social media photos showing the stars unglamorously. “No one was wearing makeup, so we didn’t take formal photos. The pictures were just taken by friends,” she said, dismissing concerns that Keung To would mind the candid shots showing him in the background.
Finally, Gigi Leung addressed persistent tabloid rumors that she had played a role in the high-profile breakup between Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) and her former partner. Leung firmly stated she is currently single and expressed happiness for anyone who finds love, irrespective of age differences. While she once felt it necessary to date older men, she now prioritizes compatibility and genuine feeling over age when seeking a partner.
