TVB couples have no chemistry? Options

who here thinks alot of the couples on shows/series have no chemistry. they absolutely do not look like they are couples relative to western actors.

[dert45]

I dont think so. Some TVB actors do have a bit of chemistry. Either in real life they like each other or their characters do, TVB actors seem to be getting better at these sorts of things. It really draws the viewer in better when you actually think there maybe something going on.

[LaMissy]

You're partly right. Couples with no chemistry or don't look like a couple are Damien and Flora in Hard Fate. This was probably the worse couple I had ever seen... Couples who look good together and have great chemistry are Raymond and Tavia. They look great together and one of the couples with the best chemistry!

ahahhahah~~ well some really don't have ..
but tvb couple ...majoriy they have the chemistry so don't worry about it

yeh i think they do........in real life or just in movies..i think they're pretty good actors they know when to be serious or when its real life

[fantasyforever]

I think that TVB actors and actresses have tonnes of chemistry. some might not but most do...you know how you get that funny fuzzy feeling when there's lots of chemistry in a series, well it happens a lot to me.

I think most TVB couples have chemistry, but some of them have more and other less. This chemistry is a result of the script writer and the actors.
So less chemistry can be the fault of the actor, but is also the fault of the writer.

I would say that familiarity with each other would put the couples at ease and comfortable and that would help create a better chemistry between them. looks also play a part, but for damian and flora in hard fate, it is not their fault, the storyline requires damian to be much older than flora, so it does look like a mismatch. but that's the requirement of the story.

well... i remember watching a tvb serie back then... it was with jessica hsuan and some short guy..... the name of the serie was "when dreams come true" jackie liu was also in there..... i think jessica and that guy did not have any chemistry at all.....

[sky88]

This happens espcially in movies for teens.....
it's is so fake that you lose interest in the movie

Yeah, like the series Sunshine Heartbeat and HOF.

[vanterminator]

Generally i would say most pairings have a certain amount of chemistry but there have been instances where the pairings look weird such as Adam/Tavia,Gallen?kingdom just to name a few.

[keylin]

I think TVBs actor and actress have most of them good chemisty. But I am alittle enoyed about TVBs choise of pairing. Adam Chan and Tavia!? It is a big joke. Daimen and flora?

[amidaladown]

no. i think jessica suen and sunny chan have great chemistry.

[7HeAvEn]

I agreed that Tvb did make a lot of good pairing but they did make some lousy pairing such as Adam Cheng & Tavia n Wong Hei with Tavia...

[MIHK_daydreamer]

yes i agree that some pairings sucks (like adam and tavia) but most of them are ok....
i don't think it's mostly the actor's fault....i think it's the ppl who picked the actor to act the charcters' fault....they should have picked the right ppl that looks good together.....

[miss scarlett]

well... tvb is ok with the chemistry... sometimes it's just AWFUL... i won't point out which couples, but some are also really good... such as raymond/michelle, raymond/bernice (they weren't a couple, but since they were great friends in SL, i'm assuming they are) steven/charmaine, ron/tavia etc...

[lonilonei]

Sometimes, I really think the casting is blind. I think the people I've seen with the worst chemistry were Flora and Damien in Hard Fate. Hopeless. And in Angels of Mission 3D too. I've heard Raymond's doing a series with charmaine and Sonija soon as well! Ew! Gosh, what happen to good old chemistry like Louis and Jessica!

[OMGWTFBBQ]

I think that some couples had great chemistry but not recently... Gallen Lo and Kenix was a great couple in Threshold of A New Era

[acc1771]

ahahhahah~~ well some really don't have ..
but tvb couple ...majoriy they have the chemistry so don't worry about it

ya i agree.. most on screen couple look great together and have a certain amount of chemistry...

i relaly think it depends. i think some of them match. HOWEVER.. many are just relaly off. i think its just the casting..

[jimmytan]

my point of view, most of the actors have pretty good chemistry with the actress

[Andy85]

it depends who has chemistry together. some have good chemistry becos they are friends outside acting. the more close they are outside acting the better the chemistry

[reireichi]

raymond and tavia makes good chemistry!
same as ron and leila! well...they were quite in TOB

[cheung139]

I think Adam Cheng and Tavia Yeung have no chemistry at all in The Prince's Shadow...

[SushiloverxD]

In Princes Shawdow Tavia and Adam didnt do nothing then out of nowhere all of a sudden they're a couple. thats jussed crazy But in Twin of Brothers did u see how many chemistry Ron and Lelia had!! I mean first they couldnt be together and then they were together and so did Ray And Tavia First they thought they could be together but then Tavia wanted to repay the other rich guy back so they couldnt be together and then they were together other couples should be like that too. But then Ron, Lelia, Ray and Tavia had more chemistry probably because they're young. so the director had to put more chemistry between them.

[lilangel966]

i think that the older generation couples have like no chemistry. but i think the young actors have pretty good chemistry with each other....maybe that's why everytime they act in a series together, the young actors are always linked to be having affairs and stuff like that...

[jeahh]

They have chemistry in their own ways... think of the asians now. Most are still relatively not the "intense" type like "oh I must touch you and kiss you to show I'm in love with you". I think it's the same with TVB actresses/actors. They just like to deliver the cheesy dialogues and give each other a hug to signify that their relationship has reached another level. I think if they were given more room to express this "chemistry" that they're missing, most viewers would be uncomfortable (aka Tava & Ron's kiss in TA). That was the conventional american kiss and looked how much controversy it caused.

Some pairs do have chemistry, but some pairs just don't make sense. Besides that, I guess the main reason why we think there is no chemistry is that their relationship doesn't usually involve very intense physical contact. Maybe holding hands will already signify that they are a couple. You rarely see kissing or make out scenes on tvb series. I think in that sense it makes the relationship less believable

I don't link Jessica Hsuan paring with Joe Ma...

[SuperBee]

I don't link Jessica Hsuan paring with Joe Ma... 

Really agree with you la. when I saw Lady Fan and Handful of Love I didn't see any chimistry between them.

[summertime36]

I guess one reason is that the imtimade scenes in TVB are not all that intimate afterall, compare to some in the west. And also, that fact that some actors are continuously filming for several series doesn't really connect any sort of bonds between couples. Even if they are worked together in the past...not many seems to be that connected...

i think bobby au yeung have chemistry with nobody!
and couple when one is much older than the other one

[toomanysidesofme]

some actors have great chemistry with eacher other. It really depends on which actors you pari together. Some actors just don't work, but some have amazing chemistry.

Louis and Jessica had great chemistry.

i hate the pairing of joe ma and jessica in lady fan....but jessica is a great actress

i think most of them don't have chemistry or they do.. but they don't look good together.. and well.. and there are some who cna't act at all..

a good number of them do. like marco ngai and joyce tang in armed reaction. i say they look pretty good together. of course couples like adam cheng and tavia yeung in the prince's shadow look super weird. he can be her dad!

[♥eddiepengyuyan]

i think that the older generation couples have like no chemistry. but i think the young actors have pretty good chemistry with each other....maybe that's why everytime they act in a series together, the young actors are always linked to be having affairs and stuff like that...

yeah, agree. it probably depends on the familarity of the actors and actresses in each show. Raymonds can create alot of chemistry with female leads but in 'twin of brothers' I completely did not see any chemistry between him and Li qian, probably it's because of the language barrier? But in the same show I pratically saw fireworks between him and Tavia. I think that new comers tend to have better chemistry, but I think that Gallen Lo and Jessica Hsuan have great chemistry but Joe Ma and Bobby Ou Yeung can't create chemistry outta anybody

[maboroshi]

i agree some are really bad and some are really good too

i think raymond lam can create chemistry with anybody

[stars13]

its not true that all tvb actors and actress have no chemistry for e.g gallen and flora,raymond and michelle,ron and shirley....but then tvb do really wierd pair ups like bobby and charmaine?????gallen and charmaine????????bosco and amy???????they are old enought to be brothers and sister of daughter and dad
