Raymond Lam and Michelle Ye's 10 Year Break Did Not Affect Their Onscreen Chemistry

​

Onscreen lovers, Raymond Lam (林峯) and Michelle Ye (葉璇), have not lost their spark for each other despite a 10 year hiatus.

Although the 45th TVB Anniversary Awards is fast approaching, Raymond is currently filming mainland Chinese drama, Legend of the Purple Hairpin <紫釵奇緣>, in Hengdian. Producing her first TV drama, Michelle immediately thought of casting Raymond as the “Yellow-Clothed One”, Nalan Dong, in the drama, which reunites the onscreen lovers after a 10-year break to fans’ excitement.

Raymond and Michelle instantly warmed up to each other on the filming set. On November 28, the duo was photographed chatting excitedly together. Raymond even leaned over Michelle to help her adjust her hair ornaments. Michelle smiled widely at Raymond’s attentive gesture.

Rumored to have only eyes for Michelle, Raymond largely ignored fellow Hong Kong artist, Kingdom Yuen (苑瓊丹), who did not receive the same warm treatment.

Despite Michelle busily developing her career in China and not remaining in frequent contact with Raymond over the last 10 years, the good friends retained their old chemistry. “Although we have not seen each other for 10 years, we feel that we have never separated,” Raymond revealed that their friendship has not been dulled by time.

Raymond Will Be Michelle’s Guardian Angel

Set in the Tang Dynasty, Legend of the Purple Hairpin is adapted from the classic opera, The Purple Hairpin <紫釵記>. In the drama, Raymond’s role has been turned from a supporting character to a main role. Raymond’s character’s heroic traits and unselfish love towards Michelle will become the focus in the drama.

Despite his deep love for Michelle, Raymond is also torn by love for his country and loyalty to his good brother. Under such circumstances, Raymond decides to sacrifice himself and remain Michelle’s guardian angel instead in Legend of the Purple Hairpin.
