Celeb Lookalikes (2)

3. Certified Twins

Maggie Cheung Ho Yee and Tavia Yeung Yi

There is a 9 year difference between them, so Tavia gained fame while Maggie was in quarter-retirement. For a time, I kept confusing the two aka Lee vs Joo. Whenever I saw Tavia in a show, I’d get the impression that Maggie was starring in it. Maggie has a slightly softer look than Tavia. But if their ages were closer, they could plausibly pass for twins. Coincidentally, Maggie also shares her english name with Maggie Cheung Man Yuk and her Chinese name with Kenix Kwok.

4. The Demure Trio

1. Crystal Liu Yi Fei of Return of the Condor Hereos 2006
2. Liu Shi Shi of Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008
3. Janine Chang of The Hospital 2006

No one would ever confuse Crystal Liu with Janine Chang. But one could possibly mistake Liu Shi Shi for either Janine or Crystal. Liu Shi Shi is like a cross between Janine and Crystal.

Crystal Liu Yi Fei is undoubtedly the most famous out of the trio. She shot to fame playing classic Jinyong characters Wang Yuyuan and Little Dragon Girl, treading the paths of previous “Dragon Girls” Idy Chan Yuk Lin and Carmen Lee Yuk Tung. Today, she is one of the most recognizable and sought after Chinese stars, known for her classic beauty.

Janine Chang plays an unforgettable role as the anaesthetist in The Hospital, Taiwanese remake of The Great White Tower. She played her role very convincingly and enjoyed good chemistry with co-star Jerry Yan.

Liu Shi Shi is an upcoming actress, starring as another Jinyong character Mu Nianci. Based on her previous works though, I wouldn’t say that her acting skills were fantastic – she was uniformally wooden throughout, like a pre-Condor Crystal Liu, but I do hope she’s improving.
