Kevin's Character: Kevin plays an IT executive in the series. Due to the nature of his job, which also influences the way he lives his life, everything is fast-paced. As a result, he doesn’t know how to relax or enjoy life until he meets Lai’s father, played by veteran actor Paul Chun Pui. In a character trait most of us can relate to, Kevin is also Western-educated and doesn’t know Mandarin. But because the company he works for is taken over by a Chinese company and my boss is Mandarin-speaking, he have to take lessons from Paul Chun. From him he learns to slow down and take notice of people and things around
(info from general discussion forum)
Here u can discuss about his character/acting smile.gif

i think his character is quite interesting after reading this info myself.. i want to know how he is when he cant relax on his own and when he learns to relax lol.gif

I don't like the glasses dry.gif.. they make him look so, weird? LOL.
Hopefully he can prove to us that he deserved to win the best actor award with this series.. and for once he's not paired with Niki!

Kevin definitely seems different with the glasses...but he still looks very handsome.
I hope his character will be fun to watch.. it will be interesting to watch his pairing with Gigi..
Seoshi.love.
Watched eps 01 and I like his character smile.gif He's so funny when he bickers with his sister tongue.gif
~Sue~
Based on episode 1, Kevin's character is very likable so far! Yes, he is funny when bickering with his sister! He also says, "hurry hurry" all the time!

I don't think Kevin has ever tried this playful type of role before.

He looks unbelievably young in glasses. Like how Sammo Hung defies gravity, Kevin seems to defy age. wacko.gif
Ahching20
so far his character is likable, except how he yelled at gigi for not helping his mom...Overall, adorable character

I have one question, is kevin's real mandarin as bad as it sounds in the series? I watched him in the Taiwanese drama "legendary twins" with Alec Su and Jimmy Lin, his mandarin was alright, or was his voice dubbed in that show?

Kevin's character in Hard Fate was kind of playful too, but it is just that he turned more serious as the series progressed.

Kevin's Mandarin in real life is not bad at all, plus he has lived in Taiwan for a couple of years. In interviews, Kevin even said he had trouble making his Mandarin sound horrible and had to put alot of thought into it. I just laugh whenever his character, Ryan, tries to speak Mandarin.

kevin is actually quite cute in this series! he's alot much more playful! and he always makes fun of mandarin by calling it "pu tong gua"! and boy! he doesnt age huh?!! still looking good!!
glamourdoll
Kevin looks so good with the glasses! Haha, it does remind me a lot like Hard Fate though. But he was a bit mean to Gigi in the first episode, felt kind of bad for her.
babebluegurl
kevin is so hot!!! i love the glasses effect... it makes him look more cute.... i like his role in here... very nice and caring... jsut that hez a workaholic... thatz the bad part.... but it funny hearing him try to learn mandarin... in the first 2 episode it was funny hearing him speak broken mandarin... just couldn't stop laughing hehe... can't wait till him n gigi gets together in the movie...
Lisa.D
kevin cheng is very good actor! ^^ he is very cute in this series and had a good acting =)
annie083
He did quite well so far in the first 3 epi. but I don't really like his glasses!
muimui001
i think the glasses are there to make him look older to match gigi. jason has the same glasses too i think it's to make them both look older.

i think the glasses make it look more geeky for kevin is IT and for jason it does make him look older


think black plastic frame glasses give a bookworm style while the frameless one in Brink of Law give a rich upperclass look/style (this is just my opinion)...Life art is more about art, calligraphy which are inner personalities and not materialistic therefore most of the props are give a more natural down to earth feelings
Pola56
I think the glasses are ok for Kevin...Maybe they trying to make him look more professional?

But still...Kevin looks handsome and cute =)
His character is quite funny i guess~
loc630
i like kevin in this series, he is cute and funny. unlike the devils of discipline was boring.
pauline
His performance in this series is good and very funny. Kevin is better in modern series, bc in Devils of discipline his character is very boring!!
hlac
I like Kevin in any series, he plays his character so well, and he can really act. I like this role as an IT specialist, he's always press for time. I love it when he tries to speak Mandaring blend with cantonese, so hilarious. Kevin's seems like he loss weight, he seems more skinny.
jadii
I dont really like Kevin's acting that much but his personality is quite amazing. For some reason i think he needs more experiance in acting in order to be better...
xtremecold
kevin is so much better in modern series than ancient ones. devil's disciples was pretty bad. I've never really had a problem with kevin cheng modern series, most of them have been relatively enjoyable. His IT character in this series is super nice, but a little naive at times, but at least he's honest, loves his family and friends, and true to his word. Too bad guys like this only exist on TV or they're married.
靚仔Eeyore
*sigh*

Yes, Kevin was not at his best in Devil's Disciples. But surely you have to agree he looks very good in the brown frames.

Ummm the ones that were a present after Gigi broke his original ones tongue.gif
Ka10
kevin's role in this show is quite cute and active,,,,but its still so similar with his other roles in 'under the canopy of love' and 'trimming success'..=)
ah-sand
i prefer kevin in modern series than in ancient ones.. think his performance in Devi;'s Disciple lost out to Bosco's, but anyway, i like him with glasses. and he's more funny in this series. i like his personality as Ryan.
chikuen
oh. I really like him playingin this serie. He looks cute and his acting is good.. He also has nice clothing. (Prefer him playing in modern series)
Totem Bear
I do like him but his glasses I'm really not sure about. I think his character ok but when he shouted at gigi because of his mum I didn't like, but then if I was in his shoes I probably would have done the same so its understandable.
AngryBaby
hmmm don't think anyone can NOT like his character - because its unnaturally FLAWLESS

- goodlooking
- young and successful career
- perfect son, doting brother
- dedicated boyfriend
- energetic, playful, sensitive
- righteous boss

Ai-yah so typical chinese- too good for Gigi's character
porkbun
i think this is a similar character he plays in all his recent movies... just with different outfits.. tvb should give him other characters.. but then again, i think it's his acting, he needs a little improvement...
ariad
I kinda like the glasses. Nerdier= smarter???? lol. His good looks is enough to cover his flaws in acting. =) comment from a typical girl..
xclusivelymeeh
kevin wants to be funny on this show and he kinda is. his character is really outgoing and kind.
chinoischick
I think Kevin's character is so hot in this series. He is a leader but at the same time is a tech geek. He treats his mom so nice! He is the good guy with attitude. That is soo hot.
annie083
Yeah, he was a lovely character here.....helpful, positive, hardworking & reliable...!
He was true to his love as well....unlike those who used to mess about in life!
swe3tdreamz
I love kevins acting! his so natural and i think that IT image kindah suits him. I lov e how they put him as the PM. He looks so mature and in control.
monkeybusiness
I like his character. I initially thought that his character would be like the one in Under the Canopy of Love...which was a bit too cheesy for me. He is a bit silly...somewhat like his character in Yummy Yummy.
m0us3
i liked him...
and i think he potrayed the character well...
but i think his character is a lil mean tho..
i understand that he wants to let gigi and queenie knows who he really loves..
but ignoring her (queenie) altogether..that's a lil extreme, imo..
refusing to even talk to her and all...hmm...
i didn't think there was a need for that..she doesn't seem that she's going crazy after him...just wanna talk..

prince69
i rekon his such a good boy friend i rekon his character is good as well always willing to help others as well dats y turn out dat gigi will fall in love with him.
hithere03
Kevin looks so cute in glasses...w/o glasses, he looks hot.

So far, this serie is the first serie that I have enjoyed Kevin's performance infatuated.gif a lot. To me, he has showed more improvement from this serie. thumbsup.gif
*~CompletelyZaZa~*
yea, i think kevin looks quite cute in this series. characterwise, i don't see a big difference between his role here and in "Under the Canopy of Love". but i prefer his acting here compared to UCOL. i think he looks cute with glasses. hehe.

pairing wise. Kevin looks weird with Gigi. he definitely looks better with Niki.
clumzii3monkie
definitely something different from what he usually portrays and he did a really good job! =) soo i like his character hahah and his acting..
aneeshka
at first i thought this was gonna be one of his usual characters, but it gave me a nice surprise, and he portrayed the character pretty well too, i like his character a lot in this series, and he does look pretty damn hot lol!
DSgirl
I don't know about ya'lls.. but I find the glasses HOTTTT!!
He looks so much better to me, for some odd reason, but it could be because I find guys in glasses kind of sexy ;P
Anywho, I love his character.. cute, nice son, good brother (most of the time), and def good boyfriend
LiK
I really liked the way that kevin portrayed this character
much more relaxed and fun than some of his other more high anxiety or brooding roles
I like the way he romanced gigi...really cute!
*bluebutterfly*
I really liked his glasses too! Lol I think he looks better with the glasses than without. Lol
They suit him!

I actually liked his character. In the last series I saw him was UTCOL and his acting and character is so much better in this. And he was so caring! xD
Puffins
I thin he looked good with those glasses as well.
Overall, i like his character in this show alot. He is a good son, bro & bf. Most impt of all, @least he isnt un-decisive abt r/ships. I also think Kevin had protrayed his role well in the show smile.gif
hippokathy88
kevin looked really good in this series. im not quite updated w/ hk series n i think this is the 1st series that kevin was the main lead that ive ever watched tongue.gif he shared his main lead w/ ray in yummy yummy so that didnt count tongue.gif

i really like his glasses haha. he looked quite nerdy in them but they suit his character i suppose tongue.gif i love his bushy eyebrows ahha, they totally complement his hair biggrin.gif
foreverleila
I agree that Kevin looks a little different with glasses, but he still looks very handsome though. His job in this series pretty suits him in my opinion. I actually enjoyed his character in this series.
