Tavia Yeung and Michael Tse Engage in Intense Bed Scene in “Friendly Fire”
Half of TVB legal drama, Friendly Fire <法網狙擊>, has already been broadcast, including many flirtatious scenes between the characters. Near the beginning of the series, Toby Chan (陳庭欣) and Christine Kuo’s (苟芸慧) characters seduces Michael Tse’s (謝天華) character. A later scene involves Sharon Chan’s (陳敏之) character ending up soaked after falling into the ocean and revealing her undergarments.
In episode 12, which was broadcast on January 2, a bed scene with Tavia Yeung (楊怡) and Michael’s characters in an apartment that lasted for two minutes attracted viewers’ attention. The scene spoke of JJ Kam (Michael Tse) taking care of Chris Fong (Tavia Yeung) after Chris is drunk from a heavy alcoholic drink. They are both soaking wet from the heavy rainfall outside, and JJ helps Chris take off her soaking clothes inside the apartment. Chris then began tearing off JJ’s wet garments as well, and the ex-lovers engage in a long, deep kiss.
Speaking of the scene, Producer Man Wai Hung (文偉鴻) said, “Tavia and Michael’s flirting scene is supposed to express their inner conflicts. In the drama, Tavia’s character broke up with Michael’s character because of her family’s genetic disease.” The producer emphasized that the scene, which was stated to be two minutes, also consisted of the ex-lovers’ flashbacks. The bed scene itself did not last for that long. Most importantly, there was no explicit content.
Producer Man Wai Hung further revealed that Michael and Tavia were informed the synopsis of the scene before filming began, and they had the freedom to develop it the way they want. Michael and Tavia were both very involved in their roles, so the scene was a success with only one shot. There were no cuts, and they did not have to accommodate the positioning of the camera while filming. This enabled the scene to flow naturally, allowing the audience to feel the romance between the characters.
The following scene in which the police suddenly appear at the door to perform a license check served as a comic relief.
Ensuing episodes of Friendly Fire will continue featuring intense scenes, including the rape of Samantha Ko’s (高海寧) character, the developing love triangle between Michael, Tavia, and Grace Wong’s (王君馨) characters, as well as a kissing scene between Alice Chan (陳煒) and Derek Kwok’s (郭政鴻) characters.

Oh yeah, another rape scene to look forward to…….hope it’s not another 2 second flashback like what we got from Kate Tsui. Let’s see some real action this time!
LOL yeah..
omg you people are sick
Wow, they did it in just one take? Really awesome! FF is getting really exciting! Great casting!
I actually love that kissing scene between tavia and Michael. I find it very intense and loving, especially the way he cared for her and his efforts of warming her.
Yup, awesome chemistry & can’t believe it was completed in just one take!
Yeah i found it intense and loving too. I really like Tavia & Michael’s chemistry in this drama! They have good collaboration!
YAYAYAYAYA!
Can’t agree more!!
I’ve never seen such sweet chemistry among the casts for a long long time in Tvb dramas!!
And Tavia+Michael truly rock this drama <3
I liked how the scene when from intimate to comedy hahaha. Surprisingly I actually quite like watching MT and Tavia’s chemistry together in their scenes. Hooked onto FF atm!
I wouldn’t really call it intense lol besides TV has it’s limits they can’t show any parts of process of the rape besides the part where the man attack and shred their clothes then the aftermath where they’re presumably crying or terrified….I dont’ understand how some actually complain about not seeing enough if they did show then the complaints would be even higher.
Kate’s scene in HAL was disturbingly enough even though it was short knowing she was raped by multiple men and forced injection in her is already too disturbing just the thought of it like what do ppl expect that they actually show it? The main part of rape scenes is not to emphasize the process but the painful memory they have to live with that experience, it made me sick how a while back ppl actually complained about wanting to see more, like seriously? It’s even more brutal when she was unconscious, rape scenes are by far the most disturbing kind of scenes to see in films, even mentioning it is cringing enough.
I’m really enjoying this series so far, it’s pretty fast paced.
Well, the whole point of movies/tv series is to drift off from reality, but also maintaining the reality of things that happen, such as rape, assault, murder, etc. If these are left out, what do you have? Nothing.
I’m not saying I oppose it of course not since some are required for those scenes I know that, but I’m basically saying ppl shouldn’t expect much based on TV standards
Agree with you Pyro, what kind of sicko would want to see rape? Even in fiction, it is quite disturbing indeed.
I agree with u too!
Just like the movie “TAKEN”
There is COMPLETELY no rape scene shown at all but only shows how awful the gals being drugged and forced into prostitution.
And honestly, I found that movie is so so great that I watched it few times ^^v
Taken? Amazing movie! I cheered as he blasted his way through all levels of villains. For once, renegade justice is fantastic. That scene where he warned that kidnapper is a classic!
I feel sorry for Michael. He didn’t do anything wrong to deserve the break up. Can’t wait to see them get back together.
I agree. It’s TY being the stubborn and resistant woman in the relationship, who doesn’t believe in chances.
Lorr, the reason they broke up is Michael slept with another woman >.<||
And OMGoshhh that scene is so hilarious!!
And also Michael misunderstood Tavia for having affair.
I really can't wait to see them back together 🙁
Their chemistry in this drama is superb good!!
Seriously brilliant & awesome! Loved JJ & Lam Lam so much!!!
Idk why, I kept thinking about Michael and Linda’s kiss scenes in l’escargot…which made Michael look like a creeper LOL, so I had to skip this kiss scene..
I do think he was more passionate or rather intense in L’escargot. And a better character as well.
Go back to FF Episode 12 and watch the kiss scene. Then compare LOL
It was not an apartment. It was a seedy motel hence the funny scene. It wasn’t intense. It was slow, darn Japanese song if I remember correctly and it took them forever to kiss and then snip snip next thing police out there. Hardly revolutionary, hardly sexy. It was boring. I find Sharon Chan and her mini hot pants sexier and she has yet to even fly kiss any guys. And I find these 2 characters a pain to watch. I hate the “I love you, but I can’t be with you” nonsense. Am waiting for a real 3rd party to appear but looks like there won’t be any.
Oh really? I thought it was quite intense. They were kissing quite passionately and then JJ ripped Chris white blouse.
If that wasn’t intense in terms of TVB series, what would you classify it as o_O lol. Maybe the kiss itself isn’t considered as ‘very intense’ like they are eating each others heads off, but the gradual tension between them felt pretty intense to me.
Grace can be considerd as the 3rd party, although MT and Tavia’s characters have already split..
You seem to despise tavia in general. Well that’s my opinion since I usually read comments and whenever tavia is mention you seem to have one or two negative things to say. But that’s just my point of view and I’m tavia’s fan so I guess you would say I’m biased.
Yes you are biased. I don’t have 100% nice things to say about her not do I concentrate 100% on her negative things. Let’s face it; she won’t get universal love if that is what you’re looking for. No one will. Question is what is the criticism. Mine is at least on something substantive or you rather I go on the nose route?
Oh well. The intensed kissing scene was done brilliantly and i’m completely carried away by them. Excellent and just 1 take? Way too cool!
Comparing to Michael & Linda’s kissing in L’escargot made me laugh reading the comment. The kissing was so awkward & not natural enuff & I dont recall Michael’s character as better one there.
I never used to be a fan of tavia but I like her more and more. She did great in SSSS, compared to this series, FF. But a lot of times it is not the artists’ fault because given the script, there’s only so much you can do with the character. For example, Kate was given a terrific character in HAL as the drug queen. There was much more room for her acting talent to shine there than Tavia in FF.
Aww Funn, I think ur the only one who feels that way. Lol. Even though I love Tavia, I find ur criticism towards her and the show hilarious.
What did Toby chan do in friendly fire? I don’t even remember her being in the series at all
Same here @@!!!
I think she’s the hot lady in the bar whom Michael & his guy buddies placed bet in the very 1st two episodes? And Michael managed to get her mobile number & she waited for Michael to give her a lift home, but he ended up hailing a cab for her. Later when Michael reached home, Tavia saw the lipstick stain on his collar & teased him with a sharp scissors.
Was that her? Wow she really didn’t catch my attention at all. Very small part in the drama
Yeah, the hot lady at bar. Too soon & short screening – didn’t leave much impression in me too :p
I ship them so much !! Love Tavia and Michael !! Never liked Michael except for his role as Laughing Gor but him and Tavia are super adorable and cute in the series !!! But I am still a bigger fan of Kenneth and Tavia in Hippocratic Crush 2
There is something about Toby that really puts me off..she doesn’t come off as sexy or hot to me. But I do have to applause her for her drunken state scene. That was quite well done and convincing lol
Jan – i am already confused in choosing btw KenTa or JJ + Lam Lam :p
this scene was hot! and funny as well. Very entertaining show so far!
🙂
Yeah, FF is my most entertaining series in 2012 😀
Because the chemistry between Tavia+Michael way exceed our expectations ;p
And it’s the first time I see Tavia so so sweet 😉
And Micheal did a great job!!
I never really like him b4 but this drama really change my mind!
Even his pairing with Fala in LOO seems so dull >.<||
yeah Tavia’s character is very sweet and cute.
I agree with Yen: Although I don’t mind seeing MT as Laughing but he really does it well, he is pretty much always carrying around the same image whenever the audience sees him in his series imo. FF has really changed my perspective of him. Id much prefer him in a comedy and lighter roles then the heavier roles. At least he has more facial expressions to show in ligher/comedic roles LOL. But well done MT, you’re doing well so far in MT (like watching his court scenes, very convincing)
And they look so sweet+lovely in the picture above!!!
really like Tavia hair style in the movie.
Me too. Tavia looks great in this hairstyle. But when it grows longer (in few episodes due to different time of acting), her hair is obviously longer already and it makes her face thinner & sharper which is not so nice for her skinny size.
To Funn Lim,
I think the kiss between Chris and JJ in this serie at first was slow because it shows that Chris loves JJ but she needs to suppress her feeling in front of him. Then, after a while, she cannot self-control anymore, she returns his kiss by kissing him back.
I enjoy lovely scenes between Chris and JJ but damnnn the police interrupts them…and it turns into an embarrassment and funny scene.
Haha Yes, it was brilliantly portrayed by JJ & Lam Lam. Could feel their intense & conflicting love so much!
What is there to suppress when they were living together? There wasn’t much to show there were bad feelings between them except for JJ walking out on her but even then he would always come rushing back. I don’t get the whole reluctance and shyness and suppressed passion because these 2 were very open with one another. Unless show one of them actually moved on with another then stumbled into this awkward situation and hence the suppressed passion. If not, I feel nothing for them. I fast forwarded their many flashback scenes because I find nothing dramatic that ripped them apart and so far nothing dramatic to bring them back together.
@Funn Lim
I don’t think you understand the part of “suppressed feeling” that Lucia was talking about. Chris had to suppressed her feeling because she wanted no more ties with JJ so she had to pretend she didn’t care or love him anymore. Hence, the whole suppressed feeling. And they don’t live together anymore if you actually watched the series. I hope you aren’t defending your statement without even watching the series. And what I find ridiculous about your statement of suppressed passion is supposed to be like. I mean what does this mean, ” Unless show one of them actually moved on with another then stumbled into this awkward situation and hence the suppressed passion”. Wouldn’t that be just lust not suppressed passion? Or maybe I don’t understand what you are trying to conveyed. I supposed you don’t find anything about them “dramatic” since its only been half the series. Kinda hard to know the dramatic part to it unless you watched the whole series. For examples, sometime I watch a series that has random scenes or lovey dovey actions that seem undramatic but after finishing the whole series, I realized ohh those parts must be added in so viewers can understand their quirky or cute relationship. Overall, I’m Tavia’s fan and I love this series. So my opinion doesn’t necessary share yours but please do not criticize one’s lack of passion due to you not understanding it or even watching it.
Alice,
I am watching the series, if not how would I know it is not an apartment but a motel? You and I view suppressed feelings differently in this series’ context which to me had no basis. You yourself in another post say you’re a fan of Tavia so whatever I say, she is the absolute best. So you view it your way and I view it mine. All I am saying it there is not enough of backstory to make that situation awkward or any suppressed passion when we see so little of whatever is supposed to be suppressed and for what reason supposed to be suppressed except for a few childish fight.
“So my opinion doesn’t necessary share yours but please do not criticize one’s lack of passion due to you not understanding it or even watching it.”
How can anyone suppress anything if there is no passion involved? Do a passionless person, be it hate or love suppress any feelings that is hate or love is.. passionless? Could that be pointless passion then? pointless suppression?
@Funn
It’s not exactly a motel either?? At least not where Tavia and Michael stayedd
I like the chemistry btw JJ and Lam Lam. Very sweet loving couples in the drama. TY has the cut for lawyer because she has this strong and confident attitude. Hope this drama will have good ending. 🙂
Like many others, I love their chemistry. I am quite neutral towards Tavia and not so liking Michael Tse before this (Laughing too over hyped IMO). But this drama added my liking towards them by a huge margin. I can’t wait for them to get back together. I also like that Grace Wong is there occasionally to stir up the jealousy and sadness in Tavia. It reminds her of how much she misses and loves Michael :D. Awesome show!
I thought Grace Wong character is too impossible. She openly left early to book a place for lunch and she is hardly working, just going all out for the guy. I would wish for a legitimate rival and then we can start talking about rivalry, jealousy, etc.
Grace Wong’s character is soo…makes me want to smash my head onto the table when her character appears lol. But the way she’s actively persuing MT is quite amusing and funny. THough I think Grace’s acting has much room for improvement!
She has very nice posture, that I will admit.
I think her postures are exaggerated, and she has thick legs
True, very “S” type. Yes fat legs. Most of the actresses have fat legs until they starve themselves to stick thin so they have big head stick thin body normal legs.
I am watching Ninth Widow now and Michelle Ye has that look. But actors are generally very very thin, just a question of whether well proportioned or not. I won’t be surprised if Grace in real life looks normal and well proportionate and healthy. Having seen Tavia and Michael in person, I can honestly say they’re very thin and very petite, Michael included. So I do think Grace or even Samantha Ko who looks big in the series will look pretty normal and very pretty in real life.
Funn,
Could you kindly let me know where I can watch Ninth Widow? Ive been dying to watch it.
I am watching on Tv right now.
For youtube without subtitles, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6XxJqKhnsc the 1st episode and so on and so forth.
Thank you! 🙂
Do you have anymore series with michelle ye? I lost all news about her since she left tvb. I miss her alot on screen 🙁
Funn,
Thank you for the link.
For FF, The highlights are JJ and Chris plus the anecdote, hilarious scenes with Grace Wong. The ingredients of tension, restrain, jealousy, unconditional love, passion, makes it an interesting watch.The rest is way too cliche and predictable.
I’m addicted to FF! 🙂
Me too- besides liking the chemistry between Tavia an MT, I also quite enjoy watching Sharon and Sammy spar off each other in the series. Sammy is surprisingly doing very well may I say lol. Thumbs up to his character.
yeh he looks like a rapist lol..
Me too!!! Love this series!
Tavia rock at episode 14. Her way questioning Patrick in court make me feel the tension Patrick also amaze me with his performance putting guns on his head to threatened opponents.
Tavia is alwiz so excellent!
Tavia’s doing quite a good job as a lawyer in FF!
“Lust, Caution” is the one going with the word “intense”
Didnt expect such result, but yes, Tavia and Michael are both so convincing as a couple! They really portrayed the roles well and made me feel like they’re dating. Almost no barriers between them.
If tis series aired b4 or during TVB anniversary , Tavia should nominated or get BA award for tis series. They should replace 3K ROG or SSSS with FF.
To: Funn,
Before the hotel’s scene, Chris left early to avoid JJ. That is why I say she suppresses her feeling eventhough she still inloves with JJ after the break up.
Yeah I agree with you that Chris shouldn’t break up with JJ desipte her illness. About the “dramatic get back together” I hope JJ and Chris get back together not because of another person’s misfortunate.
To: Alice
Well explaination! I’m glad we share the same thought! 🙂
I loved that scene. You can really sense the internal struggle that Tavia had and the love she wanted to express.
When the police knocked on the door, I laughed so hard. My favorite scene ever.
Nobody mentioned YUEN SIEW CHEUNG. I liked his character as well and the scenes between him and Tavia were so cute.
I like the scene, but the plot to get them into this scene was so illogical! Why didn’t he just take her back into the cafe instead of a sleezy motel? So Louis and her dad drugged her drink and thought that was okay? 5 seconds of rain does not make you soaking wet! I’m just glad they acknowledged how dirty everything in that room is. haha
Maybe the scriptwriter has this fettish about getting caught in some dirty sleezy motel…. 😛
comedy! that’s why its so funny haha
really love that ‘bed scene’. Pretty hot.
Michael and Tavia has good chemistry. You can tell how reluctant Tavia was to reciprocate coz she still loved Michael but didn’t want to be with him or start anything new and then Michael went in for the kill and she couldn’t help herself and kissed him back… muhahha
And when we think they were gonna do it, cops knock the door. HILARIOUSLY EMBARRASSING!!!! Cracked up laughing, and then they see how dirty the place is, dirty towel, dirty bed sheets and tavia just screamed hahahhahaha OMG how funny is this couple.
They were really cute to start with when they were together. I really hope they get back together. Not buying that Moon girl. Moon is nowhere near as good as Lam Lam. Lam Lam’s more prettier, got better hairstyle, better dress sense, and not clingy.
