Common TVB Pairings

 1.       Michael Tao & Kenix Kwok

 {1}

The first on-screen couple that I can remember. Absolutely loved them in the Detective Investigative Files franchise. By their own estimates, they have filmed in 200 episodes together.

1994 – CATWALK俏佳人

1995-1997 – Detective Investigative Files I – III

2004 – Shine on You

2005 – Love Bond

2.       Joe Ma & Jessica Hsuan

 {2}

Jessica has recently been named “Hostage Queen” for being held hostage 24 times in her filming career. Joe has probably saved her countless times. Joe said he enjoys working with Jessica because of her professionalism and punctuality.

1999 – 寵物情緣

2004 – Lady Fan

2004 – 一屋兩家三姓人

2007 – Drive of Life

2012 – Tiger Cubs

3.       Moses Chan & Charmaine Sheh

 {3}

Being the big brother and sister of TVB, Moses and Charmaine certainly has amply opportunity to work together in big productions.  They are both favourites of producers Mui Siu Ching and Jonathan Chik. With Charmaine’s reputation as “姣佘”, it’s surprising there are no rumours about this pair.

2004 – War and Beauty

2005 – The Dance of Passion

2009 – Beyond the Realm of Conscience

2010 – Can’t Buy Me Love

2011 – When Heaven Burns

2012 – 4 In Love

4.       Steven Ma & Linda Chung

 {4}

Steven is always paired with younger actresses to mentor them. His most frequent partner has got to be Linda. Despite a 10+ year age gap, they have surprisingly good chemistry. Of course, working together so many times doesn’t hurt. From Linda’s first series, Virtues of Harmony II, to Steven’s last series at TVB, Daddy Good Deeds, this pair has been together five times.

2004 – Virtues of Harmony II

2007 – A Journey Called Life

2009 – A Watchdog’s Tale

2009 – Ghost Writer

2012 – Daddy Good Deeds

5.       Ron Ng & Kate Tsui

 {5}

Best-friends on and off the screen. Their close interactions reportedly made Ron’s (now-ex) girlfriend Viann Zhang unhappy. To me, it seems they are like good “brothers” instead of lovers.

2005 – On The First Beat

2007 – Brink of Law

2011 - 你們我們他們

2011 – Wax and Wane

2011 – Forensic Heroes III

6.       Him Law & Mandy Wong

 {6}

These two seem to be TVB’s next golden couple. I personally don’t like Him too much because of his off-screen scandals, but I find Mandy to be quite an actress. Both are being heavily promoted and have collaborated many times, though not all of them as a couple.

2010 – Suspects in Love

2012 – L’Escargot

2012 – The Hippocratic Crush

2012 – Tiger Cubs

Upcoming – A Chip Off the Old Block II
