Yoyo Mung and Krystal Tin enjoy first collaboration

Although both Yoyo Mung and Krystal Tin have been in the entertainment industry for many years, they have not had the chance to collaborate until Only You. However these two were at ease and very comfortable with one another even before the filming for [Only You] begins. The friendship between these two talented actresses developed so fast, covering thousand miles in a day.

Krystal and Yoyo share a similar interest which they discover when filming for [OY] begins. The shared interest was to play jokes on the cast and crew. The little pranks bring laughter and cheer to everyone.

Yoyo and Krystal met up at a dried seafood shop to buy some goodies. As Krystal is married and holds the wife title for many years, she is able to make skillful selections when shopping. Yoyo, who is happily dating Ekin Cheng, was a little lost as seen when she was trying to differentiate between the many types of fish maws. Krystal can't help but laugh at Yoyo. Krystal then helped Yoyo to pick out some abalones.

"Before I started eating as a vegetarian, I can easily cook up dishes serving 10 people with absolutely no problem. Abalone, ginseng, wings, tripes, I can do it all. My husband Chapman To is also a very good cook, but we can't cook together because we'll have disagreement, so it's either him or me that cooks, otherwise there will definitely be an argument," reveals Krystal.

Yoyo is currently trying her best to improve her culinary skills. She explains that she is fortunate to have so many friends who are willing to share with her cooking tips and experiences. Yoyo adds that she also gains when her friends share with her tips on super deals when buying high quality foods.

Krystal and Yoyo were teased about their lightning speed friendship. Krytal shares, "Ah Yo (Yoyo) appears like a woman on the surface, but in fact she's very much like a man! On the set, it was really dry for everyone, so we tried to make it fun! Though this is my first time working with her, but oddly we don't even need a warm up, we were already like this even before we started shooting. I probably owe her something in my past life."

Yoyo adds, "It wasn't that severe when we were shooting, it was later that we got more familiar. Our whole group were always very noisy on a daily basis, very happy!"

Yoyo Mung and Kevin Cheng talk about love

Yoyo Mung and Kevin Cheng are currently starring in TVB's latest series, Only You. Although Yoyo and Kevin have collaborated twice before, it was in [OY] that they got to know each other better.

Yoyo explains, "Perhaps he's passive and I'm passive too. We both sort of have an imaginary wall between us, until now that we tear it down. If it wasn't for Krystal Tin who helped us take the first step, we may not have been able to tear the wall down. But actually, Kevin and I are the same type of people, he is very direct and will talk about anything. He doesn't have bad intentions, nor does he like making news, so this series helped us get to know each other better, I am very pleased."

Yoyo reveals that she is very pleased with the script of [OY] and is happy working with Kevin. "I play a middle-aged Hong Kong girl that can't get married. The script has a lot of touching parts, like the line "we need a marriage, not a wedding", is something worth to think back on. In the past, I had the same feeling as my role in the series, I didn't have a sense of security, and would ask my boyfriend what plans we have. Later, I realized that men don't like to talk about plans even if they had one," Yoyo shares. She adds that enjoying the whole course of the event is more important, petty things shouldn't matter.

As for Kevin, he explains that he is still looking for the right partner. "I am already 40 years old, my mom gave up on forcing me into marriage. I only want to have a child, but I still haven't met a match yet. I don't want to split in or out of the industry, I am just looking for a match. At my age, if I'm dating, I want to get married and have children. I just want this one time to be the one that I live until old with. To be with a person who is not compatible is impossible!" says Kevin.
