Mandy Wong Reluctant to Film Kiss Scene With Benjamin Yuen
Earlier this week, Mandy Wong (黃智雯) and Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪) filmed an intense kiss scene in Wan Chai for The Hippocratic Crush 2 <On Call 36小時II>. The scene spoke of Benjamin’s character trying to propose to Mandy’s character in the presence of a large group of friends. After loud cheers from the crowd, Benjamin wrapped Mandy into a hug and the two shared a kiss.
However, Mandy appeared very stiff and held her lips together tightly. She did not accommodate Benjamin’s actions, which made him feel awkward. With the camera still rolling, the two continued the scene anyway until the director yelled cut. After a number of outtakes, the director had to accept the scene instead of wasting time and took a few more shots of the roaring crowd instead.
Did Mandy feel shy? Two days later, Mandy shot a bikini advertisement and appeared very natural and friendly in front of a dozen cameras pointing her way. Feeling shy or embarrassed by the kiss scene was therefore probably not the reason behind Mandy’s reluctance.
Entering the entertainment industry through the 2007 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, Mandy remained unpopular until her role as the selfish Lau Siu Lan in L’Escargot <缺宅男女>. Along with the public’s opinion, Mandy beat Christine Kuo (苟芸慧) and Eliza Sam (岑麗香) in winning TVB’s Most Improved Female Artist award in 2012.
Now rising to the second female lead position, Mandy is fought over by many producers. Currently, she is filming for The Hippocratic Crush 2 and Always and Ever <情逆三世緣> at the same time. Next month, Mandy is scheduled to start filming for Tiger Cubs 2 <飛虎II>.

I like Mandy, she’s good and I think she’s professional but it might be true. Mandy seems to have quite strong personality so that she might not like Benjamin that much.
Maybe Benjamin is not popular enough…lol…
So unprofessional!
But then to kiss in front of so many people is hard. Maybe her character doesn’t love him as much as he thinks she loves him, hence the reluctant kiss.
I like Mandy, and if the report above is true, that’s very unprofessional and poor acting on her part. She’s an actress, she should be able to act the part even if she finds the person despicable. If i was the director, i would not be concern with wasting time but get the scene right.
benjamin is hot!!
Summer in HK?
pretty sure in the first installment, she had a kiss scene with Benjamin anyway, so this may not be true
I agreed with you
I don’t think it’s true. Who wouldn’t want to kiss Benjamin Yuen? 🙂 I also doubt she was reluctant to kiss Ben because everyone was watching. Didn’t she kiss Him Law in front of a bunch of people in Suspects in Love? Funny thing is Ben was one of the people watching that scene.
Him Law is very popular, so to be kissing him makes sense. She’s smart…lol…
Maybe Benjamin Yuen having ‘Bad Breath’ , he should try using Darlie Toothpaste …might help
Very unprofessional if true…
Very unprofessional. Shame as I like her. She has the most potential and talent within the current crop of ex beauty pageants actress.
Anyway, what’s the problem with kissing Benjamin Yuen? I think he’s hot!
Mandy had a kiss scene with Him Law with the L’Escargot. Perhaps she didnt like Benjamin in real life and felt being taken advantage of?
not true. Mandy is quite good friends with Benjamin.
I doubt this article is true anyway. We are only viewing it from the report’s perspective. Normally news in hk like to add fake stuffs on it.
Mandy & Ben has intense kiss in the 1st installment anyway but why wasn’t there any news back then? So obvious this is a stunt used to promote mandy more.
know your facts before commenting.
1. Mandy and Him didn’t have a kiss scene in L’Escargot.
2. Benjamin and Mandy are good friends in real life.
3. They already had a kiss in the first installment.
yeah I’m sure this is just the media creating more drama to hype up this series , Mandy made out with Benjamin in the first installment so I don’t think there’s truth to this article.
This news is probably fabricated. Stupid hk media.
Isn’t it a little too early to start the promotion?
Watever! Use scope btw!
Mandy is my favorite actress….I am her super fans…add oil…Mandy…keep on improving…
I don’t think this news is true at all.
In the first installment, they had a scene where they kissed..
I dont like her. Voice is quite annoying.
i would have no hesitation if i was in her spot haha!
Mandy beat Christine Kuo (苟芸慧) and Eliza Sam (岑麗香) in winning TVB’s Most Improved Female Artist award in 2012
did i just read that correct? did Eliza act in another film before Diva in distress? Also, did Christine Kuo even improve at all?
Tvb awards are the biggest joke
can’t tell if this article is meant to make Mandy or Benjamin look bad…
Benjamin is hot and has star power qualities. His acting is very natural Nd hos cantonese flawless unlike jason. I love it when scenes with him comes on will stick to the tube to watch it attentively. He is so charming. Really wonder why he doesn’t get acting jobs often.
