"Kawaii"

What exactly is "Kawaii"? Well, it's the Japanese word for "Cute". "Kawaii" is also part of popular culture in Asia influencing the way girls dress, wear make up, and even act. It has also evolve into a form of beauty in women's standard through out the world now. There's an attraction of two forms that is very mainstream. Women who are tall (5'7-5'11), slender, and posses a strong beautiful face are often label as "Couture" (French for High Fashion) and "Elegant". And now another form of beauty has taken over, girls who are maybe about 5'2-5'6 , with baby faces, and youthful personalities are labeled as "Kawaii" or "Cute". So who I consider to be very "Kawaii" TVB artistes? Vivien Yeo: I really like her. She has a baby doll face, and a sweet smile. Even though she's 5'9 her Kawaii side shines brighter. I wasn't at all surprise Japanese producers and advertisers were highly interested in her. I know people aren't accepting of her yet because of her Mandarin accent (She's Malaysian), but I don't mind. Diversity is a good thing, it would be a very boring world if everyone was the same. Leila Tong: She was a child actor and now she's famous for great acting and of course her baby face. She always has a joyful look on her face, and a very youthful smile. Her innocent persona is another factor making her very Kawaii. Selena Li: She has a honey sweet face, and exude cuteness. Her soft spoken personality, and alluring look are also reasons why she is Kawaii. Shirley Yeung: It's my opinion that this girl never ages. Since winning Miss Hong Kong 2001 she still looks like hasn't aged a day. Her innocent smile with dimples, and her baby doll eyes are the main traits that make her very Kawaii. Tavia Yeung: Youthful face, fun personality, plus the alluring look in her eyes make her very Kawaii in my opinion. Others: Besides them there are others I quite Kawaii like Nancy Wu, Yoyo Chen (Ironically name 'Kawaii' in The Best Selling Secret), and Suki Chui (I find her just kind of Kawaii, but not really that much). Who do you guys find Kawaii?

. : Health Does Matter : .

Its seems like every year when an Artists celebrates a Birthday or Chinese New Year they ask for good Health. Being in my youth & never really had a major illness I was naive enough to think "why would they ever ask for that?" I always thought they should ask for Wealth & Popularity. In recent years & presently my Health have been not so good due to some moderate conditions, I finally realize why TVB Stars are so keen on Health. We really don't give TVB Stars enough credit. I find them to be more than just "actors who read scripts" as some people see them. They're really wise people with great perspective on life. I really admire Maggie Cheung Ho Yee. Before she was diagnosed with her Thyroid Disease I found her to be a great actress, but she had a rough personality of course because of her "Fued" with Jessica Hsuan, Kenix Kwok, & Charmaine Sheh. Now I see as a changed person. She had Wealth & Popularity and her Health force her to take a near 2 years leave. Although I always say I hope she comes back soon and film TVB Series I feel now she should put her Health first. She looks like she has fully recovered base on pictures but we can never know for sure. Her disease seems to be very serious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease. I can definitely see the disease has taken a toll on her. I hope she regains her health soon. After downloading Mr. Hong Kong 2007 in High Quality I noticed there seem to be something uneven about Maggie's appearance. Besides her softer voice I couldn't pin point what it was until now. When she looked into the camera I notice she has become "cross eyed". Is this just me? Does anyone else see it? Maggie also was known for bust and curves after her endorsement for "LF", the beauty enhancement company that was started by Marianne Chan Miu Ying. (Also recently famed Maggie Shiu for her curves.) Anyways, I remember Natalie Tong mentioning she wish she could have curves like Maggie Cheung. However, if you watch Mr. HK you can see she's almost completely flat and is no longer the near "D" cup advertise in magazines for "LF".

<3 The Age of Love

"Are You Old Enough To Know Age Doesn't Matter?" "The Age of Love" is a TV Show that just finished airing here in the U.S. It had concept slightly different of other Reality/Love TV Shows. A 30 year old pro tennis player had to pick a love out of two groups of women. One group in their 20's with the youngest being 21, and another group in their 40's with the oldest being 48. The show wasn't highly rated because viewers just was not interested, because they all knew he would go for the younger woman. In the end, he chose a 25 year old over a 48 year old. Viewer's instincts were right. The concept of "Age Doesn't Matter" is very popular these days. However, contrary to what you might have thought this post was about, I believe Age Does Matter. Hence the oxymoron opening question. Through the last few series in recent years which feature older woman/younger man relationship a new phrase was coined, "Big Sister" relationships. I think its total BULL, and everytime I hear it I thing its the stupidest thing ever. What kind of world do we live in where we say we're open to these types of relationships, but we call women who are in it "Big Sisters" like its incest or something. Though these relationships are made mainstream by movies, tv series, etc. but in reality there aren't that many of these type of relationships, and barely any of them ever work out. In La femme Desperado, Raymond Lam & Melissa Ng were in a 'Big Sister' relationship, but in real life Melissa's secret husband is confirmed to be older than her, and Ray's current rumor girlfriend (Linda Chung) is actually younger than him. With so much limelight shinning on the 'big sister' relationship people lose sight of the traditional older male/younger female relationship. These marriages have actually been the most successful. The fact is all women is do not like looking old. When your husband looks younger than you, then it simply makes you feel old & look old. Men also age alot slower than women, they "mature" & look more rugged while women just simply get older. Besides that you have to admit, older men have more mature perspectives and have their priorities straight. When you're a young girl dating someone 5-10-15 years older than you seems like you'll never do, but I've learn as you age & meet more people who have experience with love you'll be more familiar with the concept because it will be common. Women seem to be more comfortable in these relationships. Any Celeb. "Big Sister" relationships will be brought to attention nomatter what's the difference, 2-4 years is all it takes to cause a stir. But when it comes to the opposite, not even a 12 year or up difference will matter. Here are examples of some true relationship & trustworthy rumor relationships in the HK entertainment circle. There are just so many of these, we'll be here until tomorow if I named all. Cindy Au: 16 Dec, 1979 ==> 15 Years <== Roger Kwok: 9 Oct. 1964 Gaile Lok: Aug. 22, 1980 ==> 14 Years <== Leon Lai: 11 Dec, 1966 Niki Chow: 30 Aug. 1979 ==> 10 Years <== Kevin Cheng: Aug. 15, 1969 Bernice Liu: Jan. 6, 1979 ==> 8 Years <== Moses Chan: 16 April, 1971 Linda Chung: April 9, 1984 ==> 4 Years <== Raymond Lam: Dec 8, 1979 Kenix Kwok: 27 Nov. 1969 ==> 2 Years <== Frankie Lam: 19 Dec 1967

My Name Is Fame

After watching so many HK Variety shows I had an overwhelming feeling to write this post. I was wondering how desirable Fame is in the eyes of people entering the entertainment industry? I'll be the first to admit I dreamed of being a TVB artists, but I woke up to reality. Back in the day, you only had about maybe three possible ways of entering Show Business or as its better known as "showbiz". But specifically to enter TVB, you either entered a pageant, TVB's acting class, or you have some sort of connection. These days, there are billions of ways to enter with new Variety shows & competition like Minute To Fame, Beautiful Cooking, etc. We even have a Mr. Hong Kong for men now. This is a dream for TVB because they will always need hosts for small shows, and extras on the set. Winners of these shows, and finalists who got the attention of the press will usually get their 15 minutes of fame as a jump start to their career, but other seem to be stuck doing minor jobs. I see so many pretty Miss Hong Kong contestants fail to win the title, but still pursue an acting career. I see most for about a year before they completely disappear. The truth is I think you need to rise above and beyond to survive. I saw so many talented Mr. HK contestants who excel but they still failed, because in the end only 1 person can win. Its just pitiful to watch TVB's "Deal or No Deal". Not because there are people are really desperate for the money winnings, but also the girls in the show. They're known as the Deal or No Deal girls, formally refered to as "Kam Tin Siu Jze". I recognize every single of them. They're either Miss Hong Kong contestants who didn't win or TVB extras or character actors. I know that some of these girls are University graduates from MHK, but its weird to see them putting everything aside to pursue fame. It's such a shame that TVB uses this show as a "dumping ground" where they unload all their cheap labor who are in search of fame. I would be really happy to one of them make it to the top. If I were them would really envy actresses like Linda Chung, Fala Chen, Suki Chui, ... They are so lucky to recieve the blessing and support of TVB. I think to successful you should be in it for FAME and not Money. Be persistent and patient. Most importantly be confident, walk into the TVB studio like "you're walking through hell in gasoline soaked pajamas."

TVB & Hong Kong's "Housing Projects"

Just a spark of curiosity, what's the big deal with living in "Housing Projects" in Hong Kong. I notice TVB made a couple of series where the stories intertwine with living in the "housing projects". In Life Made Simple Roger Kwok and Jessica Hsuan's character both lived in a "housing project community". Jessica's character seem to really bother living there, and she made it her business to do anything to get out of there. When she wanted to marry Bosco's character his mom looked down on her for living there. I must admit the housing from this series was pretty bad, but the housing project community in The Family Link looked good, similar to one in the picture above. Yet people still looked down on Sheren Tang, Cecilia Yip, Kiki Sheung's character alot in the beginning. Their houses look like an apartment complex or condos over here in the States. And really the "Projects" or better known as "The Ghetto" in the U.S. are 100 times worse. So what kind of housing would be considered respectable in Hong Kong? The mansion in The Brink of Law? By the way, that mansion estate in that series, which I've seen before in some movies is like a dream house for me. I really want to live in Hong Kong one day, and I think the type of house in the Family Link looks like a good starter home for someone who just moved there and has only "starter budget". Would it be accurate to say a respectable housing community in Hong Kong would be the one liek in Welcome To The House? Whatever, just curious.

Couldn't Help But Notice The Similarities...

Jessica Hsuan = HK Top Model: Her poses in photoshoots/pictures eem to kind of resemble some America's Next Top Model Pictures... -Walk The Dogs--Jess/Christina from ANTM Cycle 4- -Alter Ego-Jess (Nice vs. Naughty)-Tyra Banks (Good vs. Evil)- Miss Hong Kong 2007 Is.... #3 William Hung! Oh wait actually its #3 Kayi Cheung: The press recently described the newly crowned MHK Kayi Cheung as being a William Hung and Urshula Wong look alike. I actually notice the William Hung thing a while back. I finally set out to explore this a little further. Here are my findings... I'll be nice, Kayi is slightly better looking, but the resemblance is definitely there... The ironic thing is a William Hung quote was used in this year's show. HK Sex & The City: For Some Reason Halina Tam & her Fiancee remind me of Carri Bradshaw & Mr. Big from Sex & The City. Halina & Sarah Jessica Parker seem to have that look, while Mr. Big played by Chris Noth have the same persona as her fiancee in real life. Mr. Big is a player in the show, while Halina's fiancee is known as The Miss Hong Kong killer because he has dated many MHK's like Anne Heung.

Bosco Wong's Very Questionable Fashion Style

I Haven't Commented On Anyone's Fashion In a Long While. It finally took Bosco Wong to lure me out of my cave. It has come to my attention his fashion taste has become the subject of conversations. Some of which really offends me, people call his style "Gay". A family member of mine is gay, and he has gone through so much under this society of tough scrutiny. I think people shouldn't use the word gay in describing how someone dresses in a negative manner, in example Bosco. I would definitely not use gay to describe his fashion taste. Anyways, the picture that pushed me to commenting his fashion is the picture at the far top. I've seen alot from Bosco including things like leather leg boots, jacket, and cap with a purple stripe shirt to a pink & white combination outfit with what look's like a woman's blouse. Of course he also had his share of floral shirts and pants or stuff I dare not save to my computer, but that outfit had to be brought to attention. You have to draw a line somewhere, that line should be somewhere between a man and a woman. He wore at last week's JSG, it looked like an explosion of bad taste and bad hair in the women's section of a department store. The necklace and lite violet inner top just made things worse. Not to me mean, but that's the worse hairstyle I've ever seen on a man. Do you guys know if its just curled or did he get a perm? Now that is out of the way and we're completely frank and honest about things, I hope the whole calling him gay will end.

What Will Get You Farther In Life?

This Shallow World We Live In. I just don't get it anymore. Will exuding sex appeal really get you farther than you basicly doing what you're suppose to? I'm finding this to be the case in any working enviroment for most women. Sad to say, most women dont even need to show up to work on time anymore, just show up late wearing a bit more make-up and loosen up a few buttons on your blouse. I find it wrong but the women I work with tell me its the norm in almost every job that ever had, on top of that some of my closest friends do it too. I finally realized that I have done it also, when I do things like wear short skirts to interviews or talk in a flirtatous manner. It's something that I'm not proud of but its something I found to be very mainstream nowadays. Even when you look at the entertainment industry with female artists these days. The news report on subjects like certain actresses stealing the limelight by wearing Deep-V blouses, or short shorts revealing their legs, etc. almost everyday Recently there have been a surge of news and reports banking on actresses like Fala Chen. I must say short skirts, deep-V tops, and bikini shows brought Fala to the peak of her career. She's a leading actresses now. But Leanne Li on the other hand is alot more conservative, and you can see its not taking her career anywhere. They were both MCI winners of the same year but its just remarkable how far Fala is ahead of her. There are even reports that Leanne is now trying to dress more revealingly to go after jobs like Fala. Also hailing from MCI is Vivien Yeo who is also trying to shed her Girl Next Door look and go after a more sexually appealing image. Suki Chui is also a big part of this "era", I cant tell you how many times I've about her C-Cup. Its getting extremely repulsive, and the press goes crazy everytime she appears at a function wearing something even remotely revealing. Even Tracy Ip is rumour to have gotten breast enhancement, and going on dates with rich men. The "good girls" seem to don't even stand a chance against these girls. The TVB Standings these days almsot resembles a "classic" High School social standings. Mandy Cho for example is completely cut off in terms of her work flow in series because its rumour when she came back from her studies in the U.S. TVB was not happy she left work for over 9 months. Its like god forbid she gets an education, I sympathize with her. Shirley Yeung is also rumour to be frozen because she's to open with her relationship, again its like god forbid she has a steady boyfriend. In the End You Just Have To Ask Yourself, What Will Get You Farther In Life?

TVB Artist's English Names-Just What Do They Really Mean?

Ever met anyone who had to pick a name for their baby? If you have, they would probably tell you its one of the hardest thing to do. Some in my had to and I found out that almost every baby nursery/hospital has a book for new parents to pick their baby's name, but most people nowadays make up weird names so their baby would be unique. By the way, some of the English names I hear of on TVB Dramas are ridiculous, for exmaple-Candy, Sugar, Apple, ... Seriously, who would name their baby that? Well, Gweneth Paltrow named her baby Apple, but lets hope nobody named their kid Sugar (From VOH II). The topic of names spark my interest to find out what some of TVB star's names really mean. With the help of http://www.babynamesworld.com I looked up alot of artist's names. I also added some commentaries on stuff like whether the name really fits the star or just basic opinion of the name. Also, as predicted names like Myolie, Bosco, and Kenix weren't even listed as real names. By the way, C = Commentary. ---==== NAMES/MEANING/ORIGIN ===--- Kevin (Kevin Cheng) --Meaning: Beautiful at birth -- Origin: Gaelic C: I personally agree with the name, its very fitting. I would name my kid Kevin. Bernice (Bernice Liu) -- Meaning: Victory bringer -- Origin: Greek C: Although Bernice hasn't brought home victory with any TVB Awards, she's definitely brought home a Victory in terms of her popularity. Ron (Ron Ng) -- Meaning: Ruler with counsel -- Origin: Norse C: Huh??... lol Linda (Linda Chung) -- Meaning; Pretty --- Origin: Spanish C: Umm... No Comment from me. No offense. Steven (Steven Ma) -- Meaning: Crown -- Origin: Greek C: Crown, sounds very royal. Nice meaning. Ada (Ada Choi) -- Meaning: Noble kind; of the noble sort -- Origin: Germanic C: Very interesting, very fitting to Ada's character. Gigi (Gigi Lai) -- Meaning: Earth worker -- Origin: Greek C: Hummm... I'm not sure what Earth worker is so supose to mean so I can't really comment on it. Charmaine (Charmaine Sheh) -- Meaning: N/A -- Origin: Latin C: I thought that Charmaine would be one of the names not listed. However it doesn't have a meaning, but atleast it has an origin. Raymond (Raymond Lam) -- Meaning: Advice; decision protector -- Origin: Germanic C: So many people in the industry are name Raymond. I guess by its meaning, if you ever need advice Raymond is your guy. Moses (Moses Chan) -- Meaning: Drawn out of the water -- Origin: Hebrew C: This a very traditional name based on biblical roots, I think its a good name. Maggie (Maggie Cheung Ho Yee) -- Meaning: Pearl -- Origin: Pearl C: Sounds very classy, I think its fitting. Michelle (Michelle Ye) -- Meaning: Who Is Like God? -- Origin: Hebrew C: I couldn't believe Michelle's meaning is a question. Strange. Michelle would be the rumour & gossip god. Shirley (Shirley Yeung) -- Meaning: Bright grassland -- Origin: English C: By its meaning I dont I think I would name my kid Shirley. Sharon (Sharon Chan) -- Meaning: The Plains -- Origin: Hebrew C: Like Shirley, its too landscapish... If want search up any other TVB stars I miss just visit: http://www.babynamesworld.com

TVB Actresses & The All Important Height

When I did this post I was so AMAZED. I thought maybe only 4 or 5 actresses were above 5'7, but my god! Just take a look at the list and you'll know what I'm talking about. This List ALOT MORE Extensive Than The Actor's List. Its also in ascending order as requested. Don't forget, Women are able to wear heels, so if you're curious to see how tall they are with heels just add about 2-3 inches or about 5-7.5 cm. Once gain, if "cm"measurements are easier for you just remember 1 Inch=2.54 cm & 1 foot=12 inches. I know some of you guys are using the metric system in your country. (There are plenty of actresses that are in the 5'4 range so I think people shouldn't say 5'4 is too short be an actress. After all, the requirement to be in the TVB's Acting Class is 5'4 for women.) Esther Kwan: 5'4 Leila Tong: 5'4 Shirley Yeung: 5'4 Flora Chan: 163cm-5'4 Annie Man: 163cm-5'4. Angela Tong: 5'4. Selena Li: 5'4.5 Sheren Tang: 5'4.5 Nancy Wu: 5'5 (For some reason, she doesn't look the same height as Gigi or Fiona) Charmaine Sheh: 5'5 Fiona Yeun: 164cm-5'5 Michelle Ye: 165cm-5'5 (I thought she was alot taller than 5'5) Gigi Lai: 165cm-5'5 (I thought Gigi was atleast 5'6) Jade Leung: 165cm-5'5 Belinda Hamnett: 5'5.5 Kate Tsui: 5'5.75 - about 5'6 Tavia yeung: 5'6 Sonjia Kwok: 168cm-5'6 Ella Koon: 168cm-5'6 Maggie Siu: 5'6 Anne Heung: 5'6.5 Mandy Cho: 5'6.5 ============================== The Reason why I put a bar and seperated these actresses is because they are all over 5'7. In order to be considered as a high fashion runway model you have to be at least 5'7. I was so amazed that SO MANY actresses fell into the category where they can be both model & actress. These actresses are the reason I always emphasize that actors must be tall now. I find it interesting that all the original fa dans are 5'7 or above except for Esther & Flora who are both 5'4. Joyce Tang:170cm-5'7 Halina Tam: 170cm-5'7 Nnadia Chan: 170cm-5'7 Yoyo Mung: 170cm-5'7 Mariane Chan: 170cm'5'7 Maggie Cheung Ho Yee: 170cm-5'7 Kenix Kwok: 5'7 Jessica Hsuan: 5'7 Bernice Liu: 5'7 Fala Chen: 5'7.5 (I didn't know she was this tall.) TOP 10: Myolie Wu: 172cm-5'7.71 - about 5'8 Melissa Ng: 172cm-5'7.71 - about 5'8 (Myolie & Melissa Tied) Queenie Chu: 5'8 Linda Chung: 173cm-5'8 Ada Choi: 173cm-5'8 Tracy Ip: 5'8.25 Niki Chow: 174cm-5'8.5 Sharon Chan: 174 cm-5'8.5 Leanne Li: 5'8.75 Vivien Yeo: 5'9 Tallest Actress AT TVB: Carrie Lam: 5'10.25. She is 6'1.25 with 3 inch heels on. Thats even taller than Joe Ma.

TVB Actors & The All Important Height

I became interested in knowing TVB actors height. For some reason I've become quite biase towards short actors, I find myself saying "He's kinda short, he'll probably will never be a lead actor" when I see a short actor, and I realize it was wrong of me to think that. But lets face it, very few short actors make it in the industry. However, there are exceptions like Eric Tsang. I am 5'8-173 cm. At times, I feel confident, but sometimes I don't because some of the men are shorter. I think I make my guy friends feel short when I wear heels because I'm 5'11 with 3 inch heels on. But for the most part they're tall too so its not so bad. Girls are also getting tall now, asian girls aren't that short anymore, most of my asian girl friends are 5'6-5'7 or above. In a society where short is considered a semi-disadvantage, its become crucial to be tall. How do our TVB actors fair? I gathered as much information as I can to a little report. I had to some math too, converting cm to Inches back and forth. In going through some of the information in forums I found that some of the height information is false. I'll just put some little comments if I have something to say about that certain person. Also, if you need to do personal conversions-1 Inch is equal to 2.54 cm. Bosco Wong: 180 cm-5'11 (Tall) Bowie Lam-The forum site said Bowie is 5'10. He's is not 5'10! To be blunt, thats a lie. Almost every actress is taller than Bowie. I found data from another site to be alot more accurate, he's about 5'7 1/2 - 5'8, but definitely not 5'10. That's just too ambitous. Gordon Lam: 174-5'8 1/2. (Medium Height) Jack Wu-At AF his profile said that he is 173 cm-5'8, but I'm pretty sure he's not 5'8. Another profile stat said he's is 169 cm-5'6 1/2. I kinda believe the second one more because he does look short onscreen. Joe Ma-He's thought to be the tallest at TVB but he's not, just wait a little bit to see who is. Joe is 6'1 which is really tall. Joey Leung- 5'7 1/2, If you guys watched Heavenly In Laws Linda is taller than Joey even when she doesn't have heels on. Kenneth Ma-6 ft (The Ideal Height for alot of men.) Kevin Cheng-179 cm-5'10 1/2. (Tall) Lawrence Ng-5'10 1/2. (Tall) Matthew Ko-6'1 (Very Tall) Michael Miu-Apparently he's 5'11, but is it just me or he doesn't look it? he's looks like he's 5'9 than 5'11. False info.? Moses Chan-6 ft. (Tall, very good height) Power Chan-5'7 (Sorry... Short.) Raymond Cho-OK, one site said he's 176cm-5'9, and another said 5'7 1/2 - 5'8. I think the second one is correct because in Welcome To The House, Sharon Chan is taller than him with regular shoes on. Raymond Lam-180 cm-5'11. (Tall) Ron Ng-180 cm-5'11. (Tall) Sammul Chan-182 cm-5'11 1/2 - 6 ft. (Tall) Wong Hei-178 cm-5'10. (Tall) AND THE TALLEST TVB ACTOR IS... Eddie Li: He appeared in many series like Heart of Fencing & Forensic Heroes. He's 6'3, which is REALLY REALLY Tall. Almost too tall to be model or an actor. He looks weird onscreen because he's too tall. He's at a basketball player's height. UP NEXT: TVB Actresses & The All Important Height.

>> Hot Male Newcomers <<

The days when Bosco Wong & Kenneth Ma were newcomers, and Ron Ng was King of the Newcomers are long over. A new breed male newcomers have arrived. Some of which are extremely fresh faces and some of which are familiar faces that are now getting bigger roles. What It Takes: Good looks are essential. Acting skills may always be improved after all they’re newcomers, we don’t really expect a Oscar Award winning performance from them. Height is now crucial to be an actor. The new breed of actresses are much taller than back then, Linda Chung, Sharon Chan, & Bernice Liu are some examples of how things have change. No longer will the norm for actress be 5’3-5’5, but 5’6-5’8, maybe even 5’9. Actors must now be between 5’8-6 foot atleast, but not too tall that it looks awkward. TVB Loves Foreign & Overseas Men: Most of the hot newcomers I’m going to name are “foreign” and are from overseas countries. Matthew Ko & Fred Cheng are both from Canada. Stephen Huynh & Francois Huynh were both born in France & of Vietnamese descent in the mix. Rocky Cheng of course is mix Chinese & Caucasian. TVB loves the fact that talents now come from abroad. And I really the diversity. Finding Talents Through Mr. Hong Kong: Everyone doubted me when I said Mr. HK would bring some good men into the industry, but now look at all these newcomers Mr. HK has produced. Matthew Ko, Stephen Huynh, Rocky Cheng, Francois Huynh, & TVB Host Otto Can are just some of the new bloods TVB found through Mr. HK. This now levels the playing field for the women & MHK. Its officially going overseas this year so if any male readers are interested…. Matthew Ko: Mr. Hong Kong 2005. He just appeared in To Grow With Love and people are fond of him now. His acting is actually pretty good considering he’s only been acting for a year or two. He appears in the TVB Calendar for the second year in a row so its clear TVB is promoting him. His roles are actually pretty big for a newcomer because he was Mr. HK. He’s 6’1, that’s just a little tall to be an actor because right now all the actresses he’s work with must look up to talk to him & he kinda has to tilt his head down, but its not a major problem. Stephen Huynh (Wong Cheung Hing): They say French is the language of love so a lot of people find his French accent to such a traditional language as Cantonese very romantic & sexy. Stephen was a Mr. HK finalist in 2005. TVB is also promoting him by giving him bigger & bigger roles. I think he’s dashing & his body is amazing, no wonder advertisers & sponsors love him. I just saw him in the Pok Oi Charity Show, his Cantonese has improved ALOT. He looked really sharp playing Michael Miu when he was young in DB, he kinda resembles him. Rocky Cheng: I’m not really fond of Rocky, but I think he’s going to be really big in the Supporting class. Afterall, there isn’t that many actors left supporting , I mostly just see Kenny Wong all the time. Rocky doesn’t appeal to the 18-29 demographic but more towards the 30-45 group. The OL-Office Ladies are we refer to them as. Francois (Fran-Swa) Huynh : Stephen Huynh’s younger brother, TVB is marketing them as a brotherly duo. I think TVB sees the same marketability in Francois as they did in Michelle Ye. TVB always praised Michelle for being fluent in English, Cantonese, & Mandarin. I was reading Francois’s Mr. World profile, he speaks English, Spanish, French, & Mandarin fluently. That’s extremely impressive. I read he’s working on perfecting his Cantonese to pursue acting, being fluent in 5 languages would be truly talented. Stephen Wong Ka Lok: He’s often confused with Stephen Huynh & Jimmy Wong Ka Lok, the HK male supermodel. His acting is actually pretty good. TVB is giving him bigger & bigger roles. He’s good looking, and I think he has great potential. All he needs is better roles. Frederick Cheng a.k.a. Fred Cheng: Really like him. This guy is extremely easy on the eyes. The camera loves him because its clear he has the classic good looks. But besides being handsome, I think his acting is also very good. He did an really good job in Forensic Heroes. The romantic rumors of him and Winnie Sum might have affected him getting bigger roles, after all TVB sees those reports as bad press. But the rumors have stop. ( Winnie Sum is now linked with Matthew Ko.)
