Tiffany Tang and Ron Ng Battle between Love and Career in “The Lady in the Cubicle”
The Lady in the Cubicle <格子間女人>, recently released a ten-minute preview, giving fans a glimpse of mainland Chinese actress Tiffany Tang (唐嫣) and Hong Kong TVB actor Ron Ng (吳卓羲) in their upcoming career-related television drama. Helmed by Hong Kong director Jeffrey Chiang (蔣家駿) and told from a viewpoint directed toward career women, The Lady in the Cubicle is sure to entice modern working women with its accurate portrayal of the battle between love and career.
Adapted from the novel of the same name, The Lady in the Cubicle describes the life of white-collar worker Tan Bin (Tiffany Tang), who is approaching the dreaded thirtieth birthday. As she struggles with challenges in work and love, particularly when she becomes involved with her superior Cheng Ruimin (Ron Ng), she uncovers the real meaning of true happiness.
The drama will also revolve around the lives of two other career women: Mini (mainland Chinese actress Monica Mok 莫小棋), who is Tan Bin’s constant rival, and Jessica (mainland Chinese actress Lynn Liu 劉浠希), a pampered young woman who has just entered the workforce. Korean actor Nathan Lee (李承炫) will also make an appearance as a young artist.
From beginning to end, The Lady in the Cubicle highlights the cut-throat environment of working life, realistically depicting the workers’ struggles to achieve a higher position, as well as the power game between the company’s higher-ups. Heroine Tan Bin even reveals a very poignant line in one scene, saying, “You can cry. But before you cry, you have to find a place where no one else is present.”
In order to strengthen the overall effect of the drama, the production spared no expense, even when it came to the details. Everything from the leads’ clothing to the company environment was meticulously planned. The cost alone for building the company’s office reached one million RMB, and the production even created a real, internal Internet system to create a higher sense of believability. Through its professional and accurate depiction, combined with its high-end storyline and generous production, The Lady in the Cubicle is certain to become a paradigm for future career-related dramas.

Not liking these mainland/TVB collaboration. Give me back my TVB dramas of old with entire HK cast. Even TVB productions these days have too many China-born actresses. Whatever happened to all the true-blue HK actresses?
Agree with you; Chinese actresses are not charming as HK actresses.
I personally think tang yan is prettier than A LOT of hk female artists
That is not true, many China actresses are more talented, prettier and more charming since many of them were actually trained and educated to act well. I can’t say the same for TVB actresses who often come from the overdue MS. Hk pageants with no looks or acting skills. You need to see more China series to actually see the actresses in action. There are many of them that are so beautiful and can act well too.
I agree with HeTieShou! I must say I was bias towards TVB in the past. But since TVB has gone down the drain, and I don’t like Korean series, I tried mainland series starting with the legend of zhen huan and then a few others. They are very good quality. Prettier, better acting and far better in costume and set.
OMG my freakin gawd, which one of the current TVB actresses are beautiful and can act? I’ve tried and tried, and found NONE to be charming or beautiful.
I wish that more viewers were like Puff and would give mainland series since many of them are pretty good. Of course not all of them are but that goes for every company not just TVB, China or any particular company/country. China is willing to fork out the dough for high quality productions unlike TVB who are so cheap now. Ancient/historical mainland series are pretty good, however, I can’t say the same for their modern series. I have not seen a single modern CHina series that I like yet.
Yes, not all Chinese series are good, but TVB is just so poor especially period dramas. Just finished watching Lan Ling Wang. Highly recommended, especially episodes 1 to 20!
Not talking abt their production quality cos never got around to actually sit down and finish an entire series. What i hate most is the cutesy voices and the way these mainland actresses speak; just gives me goose bumps.
Not all actresses talk like that sadly many of them are dubbed. I hope that more mainland series will consider using the artists real voices instead of dubbing so much. It gets annoying.
Mainland audiences probably wonder the same.
Why so many HK actors in China productions?
i don’t mind they are from mainland china but don’t like them dubbed in cantonese. so strange.
They have to be since they are not fluent in Cantonese. I wonder if Ron’s real voice will be used??
Wait where can we watch the dubbed Cantonese version? And I hope Ron uses his real voice.
wow tang yan collaborated with 3 of tvb’s siusangs in a 2-3 year time frame period.
And all the series pretty much flopped.
and how did they all flop if 2 of the series didn’t even come out yet? get your facts straight please.
Just wait and see….
The drama quality looks pretty good tvb couldn’t produce something this good
TVB is cheap so of course they will not fork out the dough which is why the quality of their series has gone down the drain.
Hmm, I hope they are using serious business storylines and not just using a business environment as the backdrop. And I hope she’s not magically gifted at everything without ever doing any work. Have seen that way too often in Taiwanese productions. Otherwise, it piqued my interest so I will probably check it out. Although why do they always air so long trailers that reveals so much?
Yea I DON’T LIKE THAT WHEN THEY MAKE A CHARTER TOO GOOD TOO SMART TOO NICE AND NATURALLY GIFTED AT MANY TALENTS.
Sidetrack a bit. Last night i watched episode 39 of TITS2, Ron’s pronunciation was bad. ‘Please’ he pronounced it as ‘peace’. Simple word, yet couldn’t pronounced it correctly and clearly.
Wow the english police
Maybe Ron was saying peace maybe that’s the word that was in the script we don’t know
Well if Ron never studied overseas or majored in English, then we can’t expect his English to be good.
Well what ever Ron was meant to say it passed the director or it would have been NG
I just can’t wait til the day when that awful Beiber-mop-haircut is a thing of the past. Ron Ng (and many others) looks better with his hair off his forehead.
Also wish these dramas are available in both Mandarin and Cantonese, than it will be accessible by viewers in HK and China. However, with the way things are going, it won’t be long before Mandarin wipes out Cantonese for good.
I do not think so since many of the series are available in Mandarin and Cantonese. They are even available in other foreign languages so why not Cantonese??? I highly doubt that Cantonese would be wiped out since it is a major dialect. I think the other more minor dialects should be more worried.
