Film career
As an actress, Miriam is known for performing in comedic films; often as a silly, naive, and clumsy girl. For example, in one of her very popular films, ''Love Undercover'', she played a newly graduated police officer who failed every test as a cadet and had entertaining and nonsensical ways of completing her assignments. She tried different roles to good reviews both in 2003 and 2004. In ''Sound of Colors'' co-starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Miriam played a blind woman who found love in an unexpected way through a series of fate twisting events. The following year, she tried a darker role, in the ''Three...Extremes'' segment ''''. Miriam played Ching, a former TV actress, who fears of growing old and losing her looks, while trying to keep her cheating husband from abandoning her. She seeks out Mei , who shares with Ching the horrific secret ingredient in her dumplings that keep her young. Miriam's greatest critical achievement of her acting career to date came in 2005 when she was nominated for Best Actress in Leading Role at the Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards for her character, Fung Siu-Man, in the comedy ''Drink, Drank, Drunk''.
Miriam's only film of 2006 was '''', a "dramedy" which was released early that year. She co-starred with Taiwanese actor/singer Richie Ren for a second time, after starring with him in ''Elixir of Love'' in 2004. Miriam played Bingo, a woman who is an advertising executive that lives a somewhat carefree lifestyle. She meets a clinical psychologist, V , one day, and discovers a lump on her breast. The movie chronicles her fight against breast cancer.
Miriam's next film, ''Hooked on You'', was released on June 28, 2007 in Hong Kong. The film was directed by Law Wing-Cheong, and co-starred Eason Chan. This will also be the fourth time Miriam and Eason have collaborated with each other in a film, the first being 8 years ago in the film ''Rumble Ages''. In ''Hooked On You'', Miriam plays Miu, a fishmonger who sets out a plan to change her life before she turns the age of thirty. The film has been well received by critics, with LoveHKFilm.com praising "As of June 30th, it's hard to think of a 2007 Hong Kong movie that's better than this one."
