Local drama Doppelganger that started airing early this month marks a major milestone for Singapore’s celeb power couple Christopher Lee and Fann Wong. This is the first time that the couple are acting in a drama together since their last 2003 drama (Always on My Mind). Although the two met and fell in love on set and are best known for playing lovers in TV dramas, they decided not to take on such roles after tying the knot in 2009. The lovebirds are most certainly not the only couple whose relationship formed under such circumstance.
After all, if there is chemistry between two actors on-screen, there’s a good chance sparks will fly when the cameras stop rolling too. Here are 9 other celebrity power couples who met at work.

The next reel-to-real couple needs no further introduction. For over a year, the “Descendants of the Sun” stars denied rumours that they were dating. Rumours of their off-screen romance started circulating after the two were spotted together in New York. On Jul 5, 2017, the Song-Song couple sprang a major surprise and didn’t just come clean about their romance, but also announced their plans to wed on Oct 31. The beautiful couple eventually exchanged their vows in a private outdoor ceremony in Seoul.
Even though they are usually coy and tight-lipped about their relationship, Song Joong Ki’s agency, Blossom Entertainment recently revealed that he turned down a role for the Netflix drama “Kingdom” to focus on Song Hye Kyo. Cue the awws!

You would think that the way these two act around each other that they had been married since birth. But no, they actually met at a salon. Andrea first caught Pierre’s eye as she left a salon, but the latter didn’t do anything because he was in a relationship with another person. Like a scene from the movie, a few years later, they met on a set of a play. This time round, he took the plunge and asked her out and the rest is history. The pair made headlines in 2002 when Andrea suffered liver failure after taking slimming pills from Slim 10.
Pierre donated a part of his liver to her. The two eventually tied the knot in 2003 and are still head over heels in love. We have Pierre Png and Andrea De Cruz to thank for keeping our faith in love alive.
