The actor, who won the Best Actor award in the 2000 TVB Anniversary Awards for his portrayal of Sung Chee in "Witness to a Prosecution," expressed that he is very excited about finally being able to work alongside Meng.

Ay-Yeung and Meng were supposed to collaborate in the comedy series 'Officer Geomancer'. However, according to media reports, the 54-year old actor has to withdraw from the project on the last minute as there were conflicts in his schedule and that of the filming time table for said drama.

According to Au-Yeung, it is the first time he will be working with Jacqueline Wong and Harriet Yeung who are both newcomers.

"I feel like I have a responsibility to take care of these little sisters. Jacqueline is a silly girl and obviously Harriet too!" says Au-Yeung, adding, "I also heard that Joey is kind of silly. You really have to trail after her so she won't go missing."

"With or Without You," which is slated to run for 30 episodes, also features actresses Becky Lee and Susan Tse.

Last year, Au-Yeung had to be admitted to the hospital due to acute pneumonia which was said to have been a threat on his life. Ever since he recovered, the actor had promised that he will be making his health his number one priority.
