It seems that the victory came at the right time as well, as Samantha had just celebrated her 37th birthday the day before.

The actress, who signed with TVB after placing top 5 in the Miss Hong Kong 2008 pageant, began her career as an actress by making a cameo appearance in the 2010 drama, "Some Day". She went on to play supporting roles throughout the years, with several lead roles here and there.

However, the actress began to slow down her drama works beginning 2021.
