With airing earlier this week, and the rating already up at 32 points average within the first few episodes- what more can the cast want? Thankfully, as Adam joked, his screening did not affect the stock markets with his 'Ding Hai' effect. TVB Newsflash rounded up the cast to ask what they are going to do to celebrate.

"We are going to have a house party to watch the series airing together!" Bosco laughed

Leila nearby jabbed him in the ribs playfully and suggested the whole crew turn up at his apartment to which Bosco complained his was not big enough to fit so many people. Kevin also added that its okay about the size, at least the whole crew is cosy.

"Anyone's house is fine" Bosco told TVB Newsflash "Except for Raymond's place cos it's reserved!"

What did Bosco imply by this? He ventured on another topic of the crew's stay in Athens. "Due to budget constraints, although our characters are owners of 5 star hotels, I had to share a room with Raymond! It was good in a way because we shared all our video games but he just don't want to be my room-mate" Bosco laughs "You guys ask him why? I am a fairly tidy male!"

The end of last year, there were rumours the male lead Raymond Lam, was head to head with rising idol Ron Ng. Not only Ron scored the golden roles in , and but also had his first album sold out. Being held back in mainland to film and , Raymond's popularity and fanbase seems to be consumed by Ron Ng's hot new image. This apparently sparked Raymond's request of coming back to Hong Kong and taking more modern roles to re-establish his number one idol throne.

But adding to this controversy, there is another reason why Raymond wants to come home- Tavia Yeung.

The bond they shared, Raymond had once said 'Tavia and I worked so hard to get to where we are now. For her particularly. I remember seeing her in class when we were in the acting academy. She was the quiet girl but when the instructor told me to pair up with her in a practice scene, we just connected somehow. It was amazing. Deep down she's really independant and works hard at each opportunity she's given'

'We both started as cameo and funny enough we were always in the same series but never had a line with each other. Then I got my big break in "A Taste of Love" and got promoted in the ranking of male actors. My first lead was in with Michelle Yip but I was really happy to see Tavia there as well! We hardly had any scenes together but we hang out during breaks. Later when I got casted in I was over the moon to see Tavia as Kiko and we rang each other getting all excited for acting together the first time. also brought memorable moments in my acting career because at that point both of us were acknowledged.'

But earlier this year nearing Valentines Day and Raymond was off in mainland, Ron had openly gave Tavia a ring as a gift. What was the intention of this best friend?

Raymond shrugged it off 'Ron is a good friend. We hang out together a lot. We are not enemies like the media portrays.'

Well one thing is for sure. Raymond Lam determination not to be restationed back at mainland sure paid off. He scored not only a lead in a TVB big budget anniversary, he is co-starring Tavia Yeung. Seeing Tavia's smile at the suspicous bouquet of lilies at her birthday, no wonder Raymond is smiling at his right choice!
