Charmaine Sheh And Gigi Lai Reunite 17 Years After TVB's War And Beauty
Fans really want the duo to act alongside each other again.
Remember when TVB palace drama War And Beauty was all the rage?
The TVB palace drama, with its tales of palace intrigue and conniving consorts, was an instant hit when it first aired in 2004, catapulting its stars, including Hongkong actresses Charmaine Sheh, 45, and Gigi Lai, 49, into the A-list.
After the drama aired its final episode, many fans hoped to see Charmaine and Gigi act alongside each other once again. Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed when Gigi retired from showbiz in 2008.
In the years since, Gigi has found considerable success as the boss of a skin care business, while Charmaine focused her sights on China, where she’s super popular now.
How do they look so good?
But now, some 17 years on, we guess fans can find some joy in the fact that the duo has reunited once more.
And while it isn’t exactly an on-screen reunion, with Charmaine and Gigi apparently meeting up for a short catch-up session, fans were super glad to see the actresses together again.
“We haven’t met in a long time! Charmaine Sheh and I met up for a short while, and spent our time together pleasantly. Looking forward to more interesting works from you. You’ll always be my good companion. [I’m] missing Yi Chun, Zhiruo, Chunfen [the characters that Charmaine played when she acted alongside Gigi]… [I] cherish such a good friend like you!” wrote Gigi, who also posted this pic (see above) of her and Charmaine together.
Similarly, Charmaine also shared the same picture on her Weibo. She later left a comment on Gigi’s post, writing: “I might not meet this friend often, but whenever we do, it feels like [the last time we saw each other] was just yesterday! Gigi Lai’s still as gorgeous as ever! Do you still remember War And Beauty’s Yuk Ying and Yi Sun?” she wrote.
Yup, this was 17 years ago
Their posts were super well-received by netizens, with many posting photos of Charmaine and Gigi in War And Beauty. Some also marvelled at how Charmaine and Gigi “don't seem to have aged a day” since 2004, a sentiment that we wholeheartedly agree with.
Then...
... And now
