Starting Out
After graduating from TVB's acting school in 1999, Tavia Yeung began her journey as an actress. At first, she had very small roles, sometimes without even a name, in shows like Justice Sung II and Street Fighters. Her first important role was in The Awakening Story in 2001, where she played the younger sister of the main character.
In 2003, Yeung's career took a big step forward. She played a rebellious single mother in the drama Vigilante Force. Her performance was so good that she won the TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Female Artiste. This award showed that people were noticing her talent. Soon after, she starred in popular shows like Twin of Brothers, which made her even more well-known.
Becoming a Top Actress
In 2008, Yeung starred in Moonlight Resonance, a spin-off of the very successful drama Heart of Greed. Her role earned her great reviews and the TVB Anniversary Award for Best Supporting Actress. This was a huge achievement in her career.
The next year, she took on her first role as a villain in the historical drama Beyond the Realm of Conscience. She played a clever and scheming consort in the emperor's palace. The show was a massive hit, and Yeung won the My Favourite Female Character award for her amazing performance.
In 2012, Yeung starred in the medical drama The Hippocratic Crush as Dr. Fan. The show was very popular, and she won several awards for her role.
