Myolie Wu and Jessica Hsuan Are Rivals in New Series, Not Afraid Being Accused of Plagiarizing

TVB series <<萬鳳之王>> held an opening ceremony yesterday. In order to become the queen, Myolie Wu tries to harm Jessica Hsuan and Jessica fights back in order to save herself. The plot is similiar to "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" and "War and Beauty." Myolie said: "Female rivalry dramas are always about fighting for love and hurting each other. I believe having different elements can create refreshing feelings to viewers." Asked whether she is afraid of being compared to Tavia Yeung? Myolie said: "Being compared is a good thing. 'BTROC' is this great. We would try our hardest."

First time playing a mother, Myolie even has to express sharp expressions. Asked whether she finds rumored boyfriend Bosco Wong to practice expressions? She said: "No, I practice in front of the mirror."

Jessica said she hasn't watched "BTROC" and "WAB" and not afraid being compared to Charmaine Sheh: "I don't have much experiences with ancient dramas. I treat myself as a newcomer and try to adapt to it."
