Yesterday Aimee Chan, Ruco Chan, Tony Hung, Lin Xiawei and Vivian Yeo attended the promotional event for TVB new series Outbound Love premiering on Monday. Aimee expressed to her, this series was very meaningful to her because from filming until now, it feels like she had her second baby. "Although at the time I didn't know I was pregnant when I was in Malaysia, I found out after I finished filming the series. It was pretty difficult because I only had 2-3 hours of sleep each day, I had the flu and I wasn't used to eating spicy foods, it was so 'hot air'."

It was said the crew in Malaysia kindly gave Aimee several bowls of herbal tea, so she can reduce the 'hot air'. Aimee directly said: "Yes, I thought it was great. Shows my son is a tough baby, he's already that tough at a young age, when he grows up he can endure through anything."

Ruco regards this series as one of his representative works and has confidence in the TV ratings. He said: "I've discussed this with Tony Hung, if the series gets 30 points, he will demonstrate a cold swim and I will stop driving in my personal time." When speaking of TVB's ratings had only been average lady, Ruco felt this is the modification stage. If the ratings aren't good, then that means there room for improvement. Because of Outbound Love, Ruco Chan has been dubbed the "Penang Prince". He claimed he got that reputation because of his dark skin. "I'm in trouble now that I'm filming The Great Pharmacist because the producer wanted me to be a little more pale, so I've borrowed my mother's skincare products to use." Ruco has roots in Malaysia, he expressed earlier when he went back to Malaysia to visit relatives, they told him to start a business there. Ruco said: "But I will stay in Hong Kong to film more good productions first."

This will be Tony Hung's debut TV series and he has already taken Toby Chan's first on-screen kiss and given his first to Lin Xiawei. Tony expressed he was cautious and unnatural: "It did not feel like in the past where I could just freely kiss a girlfriend at the corner of the street because I wasn't really familiar with the girls when we were filming the kiss scenes. (After the kisses, more familiar?) After we NGed several times, it got more comfortable. (Report it to your girlfriend?) I've been single for two years, I don't have a girlfriend now." Asked if there were love sparks after the kisses? He thought for a moment before answering: "I really didn't feel anything, I really have to consider my sexual orientation."

TVB series Outbound Love's TV ratings have increased. Up until today, the average rating is 29 points with a peak rating of 31 points. Yesterday the cast including Ruco Chan, Aimee Chan, Tony Hung and Lin Xiawei (Rosina Lam) celebrated the success. The on-screen couples fed their partners cake to celebrate Valentine's Day. Aimee said: "I'm pleased to hear the audience are still supporting us after the new year break. The series is about to get exciting, it will get better and better. My family of 3 watches the series together, sometimes I carry my son with one hand and watch the series on my iPad with the other. My son is beginning to listen to sound/voices. At the time, baby also participated in the shooting, he brings us so much luck!" 

When Cindy Lee and other good friends went to send new year greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Chan, they were only allowed to take photos of a sleeping baby Aiden. Does Aimee not want to expose Aiden's looks to the public? Aimee explained its just a device to let parents watch over their babies, it was not something to prevent friends from seeing her baby. 

Tony laughed and said his friends are not used to seeing him in TV series. He said: "They are more used to watching me on travel shows. It felt strange seeing me in a TV series and they even teased that I'm the 'Expression King' because my expressions were really exaggerated. In the coming year, I will be concentrated more on filming series. Travel shows, I will only be doing one per year. If Samantha Ko wants to be my partner, I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate." Ruco Chan expressed the ratings going back up is a source of encouragement. He hopes for good results during the finale, so they can have another celebration.

Yesterday Aimee Chan, ruco Chan, Lin Xiawei, Samantho Ko and the other cast of TVB series Outbound Love met up at a restaurant in Kowloon Bay for a dinner celebration and to watch the finale. Aimee disclosed she'll be splitting the bill with Ruco and the producer. As for the ratings, Aimee expressed despite the Lunar New Year holiday, the series still got a peak rating of 31 points which isn't bad at all and all that hard work filming in Malaysia paid off. 

Aimee just became a mother not long ago, she plans to maintain good health and concentrate on taking good care of her son. She probably won't film another series until mid or end of the year. Asked if she'll miss her son when that time comes? Aimee laughed: "Sure because baby is growing everyday, but I also really miss filming. When I was watching the series, all the feelings came back. (What does your husband Moses Chan think about that?) He told me to go pursue my own dream. My dream is to be a good actress, but my other responsibility is to raise my son and I hope I can balance between the two." Asked if she plans to throw a 100th day party for her son? Aimee said she may. Asked if she'll invite friends from the industry? She said: "We have many friends from the industry, but I like to keep a low-profile." She expressed she and Moses still hasn't come up with a perfect Chinese name for baby Aiden yet. 

Samantha Ko disclosed she caught the My Love from the Star 'poison', her highest record was watching the drama 3 nights straight without sleeping. She watched so much, she couldn't even open her eyes and the following day, she had to film TVB show Find a Good Man (搵個好男人). Asked if she wanted to find a boyfriend like 'Do Min-Joon' (Kim Soo-Hyun's role in the drama)? She said: "Yes. Whenever I encounter trouble, he will come out and rescue me. Kim's acting is also really good, I can learn from him. (Did your mother hurry you to get married during the Lunar New Year holiday?) She's been rushing me to save up more money so I can buy a home. If the housing prices drop this year, there is a high possibility I can get one." 

Also, TVB announced Outbound Love's two hour finale on Sunday averaged 32 points and peaked at 35 points (at 10:52pm during the last few minutes of the episode), about 2.27 million people were watching. The 22 episode series averaged 26 points.
