Every year, TVB would arrange a grand production as its anniversary series to build hype leading up to its anniversary on November 19th. This year, apart from "This City Never Sleeps" (starring Julian Cheung, Ron Ng, Kelly Cheung, Samantha Ko, et al.), the other anniversary series is known to be "War of Thorns", starring Tavia Yeung and Lin Xia Wei! This series' cast is formidable; apart from the two TV queens, there are also three TV kings, Moses Chan, Kenneth Ma, and Ruco Chan. Although many netizens previously expressed dissatisfaction with TVB's frequent production of revenge-themed series, "War" mainly revolves the struggles of the entertainment industry, sisterly discord, and scheming. The story is about four good sisters, Lin Xia Wei, Kelly Fu, Elaine Yiu, and Judy Kwong, who fall under suspicion regarding the death of their former good friend, Yoyo Chen. Tavia, who plays Yoyo's bestie in the series, stages a comeback to execute a revenge plan, manipulating the women into turning against one another.
'Arch-rivals' Tavia and Lin Xia Wei are set to clash again following "Darkside of the Moon" in 2024. In a promotional clip that was released in a programme presentation earlier, there was a tear-filled confrontation between the two. There was also an intense scene where Kelly pulled Yoyo's hair. Elaine also had a lot of screen time, and there were multiple scenes of being humiliated.
In an exclusive interview with on.cc, Tavia talked about "War" becoming an anniversary series. She happily said, "Yes! Will be meeting with everyone soon. I am also greatly looking forward to it. Actually, also cannot control when it releases, but certainly even happier to be able to air during the prime anniversary slot!" At the anniversary the year before, she won 'My Favourite TVB Actress in a Leading Role (Greater Bay Area)' for 'Yu Moon Yuet' in "Darkside" but missed out on TV queen. Asked if she hopes to vie for an award again with "War", she said, "Not thinking too much about awards. Right now, when filming series, hope to encounter a good script and land a good role; having the continued support of viewers is enough. As for other things, my mindset remains the same as always: do [my] best and leave it to fate".
Lin Xia Wei previously revealed that her role this time is vastly different from the one in "Darkside". She said in an interview, "Because 'Darkside' was very well-received. Very happy to work with Tavia again, but there was also some pressure because everyone would definitely make comparisons, so particularly nervous; however, I think that viewers will not be disappointed because the character this time is even more fun and challenging than last time. Could be said to be an evolved version. I am also greatly looking forward to it. Will definitely be working hard to promote it then. Hope that everyone sees a new side of [me]". Kenneth is extremely happy to collaborate with Tavia again in over ten years since "The Hippocratic Crush II"...believes that viewers share his anticipation for this nostalgic CP; he and Yvette Chan, whom he is collaborating with for the first time, also play father and daughter.
Ruco Chan Finally Has a Series Airing, Playing a Rich Second Generation and Fulfilling Dream of Driving a Supercar
Regarding "War" becoming an anniversary series, [Ruco] laughing said that he had 'waited a long time': "My character is mainly with new actors. Hope that there are some sparks. I have not worked with Tavia since 'The Other Truth', which was my first series as the male lead. Have also never officially collaborated with Moses...have more scenes together in this series". He also pointed out that he was very happy to drive a supercar when filming this series: "Had wanted to for many years, and finally had the chance. This time, I am playing a rich second generation. Hope that everyone likes seeing a side of [me] that has not been seen before". His last aired series was already "The Queen of Castle". He laughingly said, "Did not have much screen time in that one. Have a lot in this one. Also very happy to meet with everyone with another series!"
