Goof in new TVB series Brick Slaves discovered by a netizen


This week, TVB started broadcasting new series Brick Slaves (樓奴), whose topic can easily instigate sympathy from the audience. But an observant netizen discovered a goof: female lead Selena Li (李施嬅) took a cab to Tin Shui Wai (天水圍) but the location where she got off was actually Tseung Kwan O (將軍澳), which shows the crew's lack of professionalism. However, there was a netizen who left a message expressing support and pointed that the role's wardrobe and even script is "already pretty good."

Facebook page "The home of Tseung Kwan O" (將軍澳主場) posted a screenshot of the scene, indicating that Selena took a cab heading to Tin Shui Wai and the location she got off was opposite a long bridge. The moderator pointed out that it is actually across from Tseung Kwan O's Sheung Tak estates (尚德邨) and left a message saying: "Did everyone realized, many series usually take sceneries from Tseung Kwan O, since after all the station is nearby. But, she clearly said she's going to Tin Shui Wai, why did she end up at Sheung Tak in the end? Please be a little more professional in filming, although you've fooled many people but you wouldn't be able to fool us people who live in Tseung Kwan O."

Our reporters looked up Google Maps and confirmed that the location the female lead got off at was Tseung Kwan O's Tong Ming Street (唐明街), the bus stop across from Sheung Tak shopping center.

There was also a netizen that the goofs in TVB series are related to their budget, they wouldn't actually go to Tin Shui Wei for a one-second scene; another also pointed that in the end, it's just a series, no need to be too serious about it.
