For example, the lobby of the main building is very
versatile. In Tiger Cubs, it stood as two different locations – the hospital
where Kenny Wong was hiding and the hotel housing the rich kids. In Ghetto
Justice II, it was used as the corporate office of the pharmaceutical company
that was selling tainted medication.
Meanwhile, a shot from above offered a refreshing view of main building. No one can whether it is TVB's office building or an hotel.
Another commonly seen place is the garden outside the second
floor restaurant. It made an appearance in almost every episode of The
Hippocratic Crush, where doctors and nurses went in and out of the hospital. In
Ghetto Justice II, this is where KK Cheung punched Kevin Cheng when Christine
Kuo was hospitalized.
The restaurants connected to the garden also make frequent
appearances. The group of doctors in The Hippocratic Crush always hang out in
the Western restaurant. On the other side, there is a Chinese/Western
restaurant occupying two levels. In Wish and Switch, this was the fast-food
restaurant that Johnson Lee worked at. The cafeteria of the police headquarters
in Witness Insecurity is actually the top floor of the restaurant.

ReplyDeletehehe, nope it wasn't me :P i only translated the article. but i thought it's quite interesting how tvb uses the same set to be different places. the only setting i know they keep reusing is that big mansion with the swimming pool.
