Joyce Cheng
https://www.dramasian.com/threads/joyce-cheng-plays-lydias-old-role-shanghai-lady-hard-to-resemble-the-legend.56611/ (translation of Ta Kung Pao article) "Besides expressions resembling Lydia, Joyce also needs to use Shanghai foul language, although her grandmother taught her to speak Shanghainese, but elders do not use foul language. Joyce was only taught the gentle way of speaking, so during filming Joyce had to ask her colleagues at the changing room to teach her and used her cell phone to record it, constantly playing it back to practice. Asked if Joyce felt she resembled Lydia? She shook her head and said: "Not at all, Mommy is a legend in my heart, I am just trying my best."
