War of the Genders

War of the Genders is a Hong Kong sitcom that ran on TVB Jade from 21 February to 7 July 2000. Produced by TVB with Tsui Chong-hong as executive producer, the series centers on a cast of lively, talkative characters played by Dayo Wong as Lok, Kingdom Yuen as Angel, and Joyce Chan as Apple. Episodes relied on rapid-fire banter, recurring misunderstandings, and comic set pieces that highlighted clashes and flirtations between male and female perspectives in everyday urban life. The show kept its tone light while turning ordinary social situations into comedic sketches, and its steady viewership built to a notably large live audience for the finale. No plot twists or endings are revealed here.

Created by Chui Jing-Hong, the show was a TVB production that debuted in early 2000 on TVB Jade, with Tsui Chong-hong credited as executive producer and a cast drawn from well-known Hong Kong comic actors.

There are no widely reported major international awards tied to the series. Its recognition came through high television ratings and local attention rather than prize wins, reflecting popularity with viewers more than festival or academy circuits.

The finale attracted about 3.1 million live viewers, giving the series one of the highest rating averages of that period, tied with later hits like Dae Jang Geum and Moonlight Resonance, and falling just below the 2003 Real Madrid charity match in television reach.

Audience-driven scores list an 8.4/10 average on one voting source, pointing to solid fan approval. Reviewers and viewers noted the program's brisk comic timing, recurring character dynamics, and its habit of poking fun at gender roles, office dynamics, and modern relationship habits, making it a memorable entry in turn-of-the-century Hong Kong television comedy.
