TVB Turns to Kevin Cheng and Raymond Lam to Ace Ratings!

By on July 4, 2012

TVB Turns to Kevin Cheng and Raymond Lam to Ace Ratings! thumbnail

The summer is heating up with the impending broadcasts of two highly anticipated dramas, Ghetto Justice 2 <怒火街頭 2> and Three Kingdoms RPG <回到三國>! Both TVB dramas will air in July, setting the stage for the fierce battle for TV King at the end of the year. Will Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎) be able to duplicate last year’s glorious success and win the TV King title once again? Or will Raymond Lam (林峯) prove to be a strong contender?

With TVB unable to secure the broadcasting rights to the London 2012 Summer Olympics, the company was nervous in sustaining viewership.  TVB looked to its ace card, triple-award winning TV King, Kevin Cheng, for assistance. TVB was currently airing Ghetto Justice, which was a critical and popular hit last year, in its late night time slot. This strategy was to build up local Hong Kong audience’s anticipation of the July 30th broadcast of Ghetto Justice 2.

Will “Law Ba” Survive Prison?

Raking in $30 million RMB last year, Kevin was TVB’s highest earning actor and most sought after artist in mainland China. In the cliffhanger ending of Ghetto Justice, Kevin’s character, “Law Ba” was seen heading to prison and losing his legal license.

The sequel will continue with “Law Ba’s” prison escapade. Even if Kevin’s Law Ba were to survive prison, will he be able to sort out his love life with Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), complicated by the re-emergence of ex-wife, Christine Kuo (苟芸慧)?

TV King Race to Start

If the audience reacts favorably to Ghetto Justice 2, there is a high chance that Kevin Cheng may once again win the TVB Best Actor Award this year! TVB was known to bestow the award to popular choices in recent years.

Each year, Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) has proven to be an especially strong contender for the TV King title. Wayne’s new drama, King Maker <造王者> will air on August 13th. If The Confidant <大太監> were to become this year’s Anniversary series, Wayne’s chances for the TVB Best Actor Award will increase dramatically.

Raymond Lam’s (林峯) popularity will likely peak once Three Kingdoms RPG airs on July 9th. Portraying the brilliant strategist, Zhuge Liang, would normally have been an acting challenge for any actor. However, Three Kingdoms RPG is a time-travel comedy, which may diminish Raymond’s chances in winning the TV King title.

Master of Play <心戰> featured the brilliant performances of Moses Chan (陳豪) and Adam Cheng (鄭少秋), who should be nominated in the Best Actor category for the Anniversary Awards. However, the drama was a ratings failure due to its convoluted plot confusing audiences. This may severely limit Moses and Adam’s chances in winning the highly sought after award.

Jayne: TVB’s July line-up looks interesting! Is the fever for “Three Kingdoms RPG” and “Ghetto Justice 2″ heating up yet? “Three Kingdoms RPG” may be a ratings success because there simply has not been a drama resembling a time-travel comedy since “A Step into the Past.” 

“Ghetto Justice 2″ has very big shoes to fill due to the success of its first installment.

    1. fiona says:

      Ghetto justice 2 and 3 Kingdom has long been among most anticipated series! Finally TVB airing something exciting after the boredom of master of play. With Tiger cubs on weekend this lineup of this 3 serues look amazing

      • TVBaddict says:

        omg this is like the best month ever!!
        1. witness insecurity
        2. rpg
        3. ghetto 2
        XD YAY.

    2. fiona says:

      Raymond Lam still has High and Low. If TVB wants him to win and if there’s no hype from other roles he will.win

      • Jayne says:

        Fiona,
        Kenneth’s popularity is at his highest peak right now. “The Hippocratic Crush” is a turning point for him and may pave even greater TV King talk for “The Hippocratic Crush 2.”

        Similar to many awards shows, dramatic roles seem to offer actors an advantage in being considered as a “serious actor” and worthy of winning awards. Cop roles also seem rare; the last one I remember was Louis Koo winning “My Favorite Actor” for “Detective Investigation Files IV.”

        • josie says:

          LF’s cop might have the same brooding personality that Louis did. That would bode well for him unless his story w/ Kate drags him down.

        • vivien says:

          LF character in HAL sounds great and the brooding cop type will give make him interesting!

        • vivien says:

          Audience love rough cops like LF in HAL and wasnt KM doctor role also was using his ‘own way’ in THC? I think characters like these will have big chance.

        • fiona says:

          ma ming shined the most in Hippocratic, he deserves something since the series is the most popular from the first half. The second half is starting now with 3 Kingdom, Ghetto, High and Low, Silver Spoon, ATF, Confidant

        • fiona says:

          i have to agree that TV king might go to raymond if High and Low aired or Zhuge Liang is popular. His role in High I admit is interesting and dramatic too and will give him a big chance.

        • lol says:

          Like all above, I also think that Raymond’s grunge cop character in HAL sounds attracting.

        • Fox says:

          Highs and Lows, Silver Spoon, ATF are not confirmed to be released this year. The Confidants is said to released this year but also not 100% confirmed. Ben Wong said HAL is going to released and it isn’t a confirmation. Then overall, now only GJ2 and King Makers are 100% sure.

        • Hannahh says:

          I got my finger cross for Ma Ming

    3. Nicole says:

      what about Kenneth Ma being nominated for TVB King after the Hippocratic Crush??

      • Jayne says:

        Nicole,
        TVB may actually give Kenneth the big push this year. “Silver Spoon, Silver Shackles” seems like the right vehicle to showcase his acting chops opposite Damien Lau. Another role to propel Kenneth’s fame further.

        • lol says:

          Jayne is right. From how things look Kenneth may actually given the big push this year.

        • gold4canada says:

          For me, I’m not looking forward to SSSS. Sounds like another family/women fued series, much like Gem of Life.

      • josie says:

        Kenneth probably has a better chance than Moses. And Laughing has no series for nomination this yr too.

      • vivien says:

        I also think KM got great characters this year all can show his acting abilities LOL

        • fiona says:

          yes ma ming’s roles this year are fantastic and prove his versatile and dramatic acting :)

    4. josie says:

      Yummy yummy, really looking forward to watching my 2 fav guys, Kevin and LF. But not sure how popular the Olympics are in hk. Their series’ ratings might be greatly affected.

    5. Jess says:

      fully support Kevin Cheng on Ghetto Justice II and Gloves Come Off .. hopefully he will get the TV King this year once again.

    6. Bubblez :) says:

      Ghetto justice 2, Silver spoon, sliver shackles and 3 Kingdoms are some of the dramas I anticipate. As for Moses and Kenneth, their acting is alright.

    7. simplitee says:

      Raymond’s High and Lows drama might be aired in Sept (unconfirmed) I think they might air Highs and Lows after seeing how the ratings for 3K goes.. I support RL since he keeps getting dragged in for the ‘hype’ but always losing out. It’s about time.

      Don’t think it’s Kenneth’s year.. yet.

      • vivien says:

        i support LF too. If there a second place KM can get it.

      • Fox says:

        I want to watch HAL. Don’t have any high expectations on 3K. I support LF to win for the same reason with you. It’s annoying to see LF vs A/B/C/D/E/F every years and he ends up with Asian-Pacific award.

        • Gar says:

          I’m totally supporting LF to win Best Actor as well for his role in Highs and Lows even though it hasn’t been released yet. I think he has a higher chance to win with his portrayal of a cop rather than with his strategist role in 3 Kingdoms.
          I suspect TVB will release Highs and Lows next year as there are too many high profile anniversary series this year so LF might have to wait another year to get the award.

        • Fox says:

          According to Ben Wong and MC Jin, it seems to be HAL for 2012. And note that they already shoot the poster for the series. So I guess it’ll come out in the end of the year. There is no reason to postpone it if Txb wants LF to win this year. And I also hope it’ll be aired. TVB can postpone watever series but not HAL without my “protest” lolz. For example, series A/B/C/D/E/F can wait for beautiful or perfect edition blah blah, I don’t care, hehe.

    8. Applelim says:

      I am really looking forward to both series. However do think Kevin should get the award instead for Raymond this year. Do agree that Kenneth deserves something this year as he has been great and have come leaps and bounds for the past year.

    9. anoninhk says:

      LF doesn’t really seem like the lead in 3 kingdoms.. It’s like Kenneth’s character is more central. I just hope he has a breakthrough this year.

      • Fox says:

        Depends. If the series is a flop, he will be called the leading or the central. If the series successes, he will be called side-actor. Lolz.

    10. T_T says:

      No one looking forward to Wayne new drama King Maker <造王者? :(

      • anoninhk says:

        i am! love wayne in ancient, non-romantic dramas. and he’s starring with kent cheng again, which means double the anticipation for me. also looking forward to the great eunuch.

        • T_T says:

          I prefer him in ancient drama, I reckon he look weird in modern drama like forensic hero 3 acting as pro sir.

      • lol says:

        It’s because Wayne is more looked forward for his performance in Eunuch.

      • gold4canada says:

        I am! I am!. I don’t really like watching kent tang (his dramas with steven ma were blah), but after watching greatness of a hero, i want to see how he does with wayne again.

    11. Tegan says:

      Out of curiosity, has there been a confirmed air date for Beauty at War? It was featured in last year’s sales presentation and filming is currently in progress, but I saw some fan talk/speculation that it’ll only air in 2013.

    12. vivien says:

      my guess is King Maker and also WI are series that are just filler dramas to fill the slot.

      • vivien says:

        That’s why not many news and viewers talking about it? ROFL

      • lol says:

        you’re correct Vivien. TKM and WI are just series that I think TVB aired just for the sake of it. Same with the current NGEW.

        • gold4canada says:

          I think wayne and kent can turn king maker into something good though. remember rosy business was slotted to be a filler as well.

        • T_T says:

          king maker will have alot of audience due to he cast and the acting also the storyline

    13. Funn Lim says:

      “TVB Turns to Kevin Cheng and Raymond Lam to Ace Ratings!”

      TVB-kaput. Seriously TVB, why not depend on finding better scriptwriters?

      I am excited about both series, will watch both but I am not watching 3kingdoms for raymond whom I feel his Zhugeliang reminds me of that wood in that almost worst series ever, Mysteries Of Love.

      As for Law Ba, yes I wanna know can he survive prison (of course he can! he is Law Ba!!) but I shall forever wonder if it was Bowie in this role what he could have done with Law Ba.

    14. kevin says:

      if tvb was planning on giving the best actor award a third time to anyone im voting for kevin to get it

    15. Selena says:

      So looking forward to 3 kingdoms.

    16. Kidd says:

      Raymond lam a rich man son in TVB could get the awards if he want since he have the money and fame ,with rich daddy beside him ,his chance are higher than other but i hope if he play fair kevin or kenneth could get it ,could wayne lai getba hattrick this year ?

      • Grace says:

        Actually it took a very long time before TVB “actually” promote LF.
        Infact they were trying to promote Ron ahead of him. Ron didnt work out.
        I guess that’s why they started promoting him, & everyone just loves him & the rest is history! I believe it took TVB by surprise.

        • Fox says:

          Finally someone see it. I don’t see any intention of Txb to truly promote him like other biological sons.

        • anoninhk says:

          eh? how did tvb try to promote ron before LF? if i’m not mistaken, both entered tvb as trainees in 1999. i know ron started out as a dancer and was highly recommended by louis koo, but until TITS, never heard of/noticed him. meanwhile, raymond was bumped up to 2nd lead in 2001 and then into lead from 2002 onwards.

        • vivien says:

          both entered trainees in 1998/99. Ron in dancing. LF in acting class with TY. LF got to acting first and got big characters as soon as that series with Miriam and ASITP. Ron debut in TITS.

        • Fox says:

          Ron was in dancing class in 1999 while LF was in acting class in the same year. So can consider that Ron joined Txb the same year with LF but turn to actor later (in end of 2000 to beginning of 2001). Before that, Ron only did job as background dancer in TVB.

          Ron was highly promoted during the years 2001 (TITS) to 2005, having leading roles, big series, promoted as a singer. He appeared a lot in TVB Mags during this period and TVB allowed him to release album in the year 2005 but it was a failure. After that, he slowly decreased.

          On the other hand, LF has big roles from 1999 (not 2001) onwards, first leading role in 2002 due to the success of A step into the past. He was accepted by the audiences for the leading role in Eternal Happiness. However he dun have much promotions during this period and onward, until 2005 when he changed image to handsome thin guy.

          So if comparing, during the period 2002 to 2005, Ron was promoted more with more investment from TVB to have works in other fields such as singer while LF dun have these promotions. For example, when they shared the lead in Twins of brother, Ron was promoted more and appeared in more TVB news and mags than LF.

          Many ppl dun noe that LF did about 13 kelefe roles before having a role in A taste of love. He also did the work of a TVB8 reporter and host before having the first big role.

        • vivien says:

          Correction TITS is 2003 Fox, not 2001 :P

        • Fox says:

          TITS started to film in 2001 :) . It was planned to film this year. When talking about promotion, should consider the year it was filmed not the year it is aired.

        • lol says:

          Wrong. The fact: TITS started to film at the end of 2002. There was a record of this, but it was aired at the end of 2003.

          Maybe Fox is counting the pre filming planning where they tried to invite Daniel Wu to play Ron’s character.

        • lol says:

          If counting the entire scripting and casting which means inviting and finding the person for each role then yes it starts from 2001. TITS2 itself was planned from last year and only start filming end of this month.

        • lol says:

          Raymond’s second lead drama ATOL premiered in mid 2001.
          http://wiki.d-addicts.com/static/images/thumb/b/b0/Atol.png/230px-Atol.png

          ASITP was filmed in 2000 and aired in late 2001

        • Fox says:

          A taste of love filmed in 1999 :) . It was warehoused in 2000 and then re-aired on TVB in 2001. So it’s LF’s first meaty role, not the role in A step into the past.

          TITS started in the end of 2001 (determinate the cast and the roles) but the blessing ceremony was held in August 2002. I still can rmb I’ve watched the K100 (now turned to TVB Scoop) on this on 17 August 2002.

      • Gar says:

        Getting awards has no correlation with wealth whatsoever. If TVB were to hand out awards based on your conclusion, then they would have given it out to LF years ago for Best Actor in Mysteries of Love which they didn’t cuz he didn’t deserve it. I think Wayne Lai won that year hands down for a great performance and correct me if I’m wrong but just by having a wealthy family background doesn’t guarantee anyone a sure win. They have to deliver a stunning performance, have great audience support as well as the execs favour.
        LF will win Best Actor but it won’t be for 3 kingdoms but for Highs and Lows and depending on whether they air it this year or next, we will have to wait and see.

        • Fox says:

          Nope, he deserved to win with Siu Chai in La Femme Desperando or Alfred in Heart of Greed many times more than Kingsley in The Mysteries of (Boring) Love. Not that Kingsley only but I find the whole MOL is boring and laughable.

          And acting isn’t a matter to Txb but the roles. Good role = good acting in eyes of young audiences. That’s all. So he’ll win if he has a good role.

          And he dun lack awards :P . Just that the Txb Best actor, finally won to end the long long long discussion of LF vs A/B/C/D/E/F every years. Just give it to him finally!

          As a fan, I don’t care for watever he wins it with, deserve or not. Txb award meh~. Just win it and c’est fini!

        • lol says:

          Winning it means outside fee will be higher. Myolie’s fee in mainland rise a lot after she wins.

        • Fox says:

          @lol: His fee is already very high for years :) . He is already paid HK$200k/eps 3 years ago.

          He can get more fame from the music and movie career rather than the TV one. And I blv it’s his aim right now.

      • Fox says:

        A new Kidd?

        If a rich man son = winning Txb awards, then LF won years ago. He is in Txb 13 years, not 1-2 years. Too bad he didn’t win any sooner :( .

      • teri says:

        Why use Kidd’s name to write this? I don’t understand people like you.

    17. lol says:

      The list isn’t surprising. I already predict those names will be in but maybe swap Moses with Kenneth who has a tremendous leap of popularity this year and has great relationship with TVB.

    18. gold4canada says:

      3 Kingdoms will have great ratings but I doubt Ray Lam can win based on this

    19. Melanie says:

      Yes!!!! Hopefully tvb is saving the best for last. I am excited for these dramas and cannot wait for Wayne’s dramas to come out as well. Tvb has disappointed me and nothing made me want to watch except for On Call. The only drama tht has my interest as of now is Tiger Cubs and that’s only on during the weekends ;(

    20. Hannah says:

      I do believe MM will make it top 5; however, it is not his turn to win. Unless, he has a tremendous amount of support (similar to Sheren in RB).

      Also, I doubt TVB will leave Moses out of top 5.

      • lol says:

        Same. I also believe Kenneth will make it to top 5. Especially when Michael Tse and Bosco is out of competition this year. Kenneth’s hindrance is Moses who I also doubt TVB won’t leave out.

        • Fox says:

          Micheal Tse is still in if Tabloids can get high rating. I think MM will have his top 5 in Favourite character instead. Also have to wait to see if Bosco’s WI can get popular or not.

        • lol says:

          ST isn’t confirmed to air yet. As for WI, the series has aired but noone is talking about it. There appear to be more talks about the yet to be aired 3K.

        • Fox says:

          I blv ST will be aired very soon.

      • lol says:

        but you shouldn’t forget that Raymond is opted for the position this year.

      • Hannah says:

        Also, I believe TVB want to give the award to LF first out of the young siu sangs. So, I don’t know to what extent TVB will go to promote MM over LF.

        If SSSS airs this year, MM will be nominated for his role in their vs. LF’s in HAL. MM stands a better chance winning My Favorite for his role in THC.

      • gold4canada says:

        What other series does Moses got besides Master of Play so far? I doubt he will make Top 5 from that because of poor ratings, regardless of his acting.

        • vivien says:

          Moses only lucky Chik kei yi tailor made that killer role for him but LOL I think Ruco can do better.

        • Fox says:

          4 for love is the other Moses series. Heaven Burn, too.

          If War and Beauty 2 is aired, then Moses will be nominated with it.

        • gold4canada says:

          4 in Love and WHB was forgettable for Moses, also due to poor ratings. Not sure if War & beauty 2 will air this year. Aren’t they filming it just now?

        • Fox says:

          Last year the Laughing series I dun rmb name was aired right after its filming period ended.

        • Tegan says:

          @gold4canada Yeah, I’ve also been wondering whether WAB2 will air this year. I’ve read fan speculation that TVB might not want to air WAB2 and The Great Eunuch / The Confidant too close to each other, since both are heavy-hitting dramas with Qing palace settings, so I’m wondering if WAB2 will be held over till 2013.

    21. Jadedreams says:

      Unless another actor comes out with a really, really good and strong performance in a serie with ratings success, I think it’s Kenneth Ma’s year to lose. On Call was an unexpected success and boost his popularity, and his performance was good in there. Then his next two series looks popular so people will tune in. If he puts in a decent performance, it would also increase his chances. It is kind of like Myolie last year with 3 series. Personally, I would also like to see Kenneth win Best Actor.

      As a fan of Raymond, I would rather he win Best Actor for a role and performance that is he is deserving of. It’s better not to win then win for something that isn’t worth it….kind of like Kevin’s first win (criticism that he didn’t deserve it, TVB gave to him, not a strong role, etc, etc)…it wasn’t as memorable as his 2nd win because he deserved it in his 2nd win.

      • lol says:

        Myolie delivered good performance last year. If you are implying that this year Kenneth should get it instead of Raymond, I guess it depends on if Raymond can beat Kenneth’s THC reputation as you said which I agreed on :)

        • vivien says:

          Good

        • vivien says:

          Good? LOL supporting actresses did better than Myolie and linda in the dance series. ROFL.

        • vivien says:

          Damn TVB. Always pushing up fadans that act worse than their supporting actresses! Yoyo and Angela Tong were great!

        • vivien says:

          last year Myolie was horrible in CORH. Her mum the supporting actress however was epic greatness although her screentime was not much LOL.

        • vivien says:

          Jessica in CORH was also goddamn boring. I swear the supporting actresses act better than these two ladies! Nancy, Myolie’s mum Rebecca and so on

      • Fox says:

        Lolz, criticisms are something not too strange to LF. He won 3 Asian-Pacific awards + Golden song for Chok, and these Best Actor blah blah won’t kill him or make him any down, don’t be worried. I blv he was very well deserved to win with Alfred in HOG but it didn’t happen, so now whatever he wins with, to me is just a gem in the jewelry box.

        TVB won’t let MM wins this one before LF because looking at any aspect, MM is under LF in TVB – fame, fanbase, market value. Just look at the series 3K, MM’s name is always put behind LF although his chac seems to be the central. What is the meaning of this action? MM is behind LF in TVB’s eyes.

      • Funn Lim says:

        I believe by the time the awards come kenneth will not win because viewers only remember recent series.

        • fiona says:

          ma ming in Hippocratic is still memorable because of his fantastic job and it’s the highest rated 2012 series so far. ma ming might not get TV king because Raymond will get it first. TVB will make Raymond and Tavia win together probably but good if ma ming can get favourite role to reward his great job in hippocratic but Raymond can win this too since his role in High look great

    22. MARS says:

      i am not sure to TVB giving awards to fung gor, they are so bias, many word but never true, hate to tvb now, i want him go to china series or movie, i am not tvb fan.

      • vivien says:

        LF already made more concerts and movies than TVB series. Only 1 series per year LOL.

      I fear Christine Kuo will hurt Ghetto Justice 2 series if her acting is not up to par.

    24. Dafuq says:

      Hmmm whatever happened to Triumph in the Skies 2?

    25. Hannahh says:

      I can’t wait to see GJ2 n 3Kingdom, so excited. How about Ma Ming? he should be in TOP 5.

    26. Larry 3 says:

      For those Kenneth Ma’s fans… Hes coming to New York….actually Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, USA for Miss New York 2012 pageant as a special guest/performer.

    27. wen wen says:

      looking forward to these 2 series, at least have something interesting to watch. Love Kevin’s series, he is awesome, hope he can get the award again :-)

    28. P. Tan says:

      Kevin should win this year’s battle for the awards if he not only survives his prison term but performs as well or better than Ghetto Justice1. Hope he does and wins too!

      • kenny says:

        I think KC should be generous enough to let others win the TVB awards this year. Yesterday night he got another award in Beijing, which makes two awards this year, besides the six awards he had last year.
        I will be rooting for Bosco this time though. Hope Bosco can shine in the new series that’s currently on air.

        • fiona says:

          glad kevin winning so many awards for law ba. He was great.

          bosco won’t get nominated top 5. His role sounds boring in the description even paul Gor’s role soynds more interesting and the series witness is old fashioned

        • Vicky says:

          witness is old fashioned, old fashioned movies used high tech electronics like phones? wow they are really old fashioned, they probally filmed this in the 1800′s with high tech phones and weapons

        • fiona says:

          @vicky: you don’t understand the term old fashioned. it means the series can work 20 years ago but not now and go read the official tvb website for the role description and synopsis to get what i mean by old fashioned

        • Vicky says:

          why wont i go read your mom’s? and you can go suck KENNETH MA

    29. Lucia says:

      Larry3,

      When is Kenneth coming to New York?

    30. sehseh says:

      Kenneth Ma is a dark horse candidate this year.

      I’m placing my bet on Kevin Cheng & Wayne Lai to be strongest contender, though it pretty much have to depend how their series fare.

      • fiona says:

        yes ma ming is the dark horse because of his fantastic job in hippocratic. Ghetto 2 I’m really looking forward to

    31. Vicky says:

      this year im rooting for raymond, if raymond doesnt get it i doubt bosco ron n kenneth would get it b4 him

    32. Ric says:

      I don’t see Kevin winning yet again. He was the most deserving actor last year but don’t forget last year was quite bland for TVB. No grand productions aired last year and Kevin was able to win hands down. This year is completely different. Grand productions such as the Confidant and SSSS have already completed filming and are likely to air.

      As for Raymond, I think he will be overshadowed by Kenneth. Up to this point in the year, Kenneth has the highest chance. If his performance is solid in Three Kingdoms he will likely steal the limelight from Raymond. Don’t forget, Kenneth is the main protagonist.

      With Wayne’s dramatic role in KM, he is sure to be a hot favorite even without the Confidant. This year’s awards may be heavily contested with Kevin, Ray, Kenneth, and Wayne in the mix. They are all sure to be in the top 5. As for who will win, it’s still way too early to tell.

      • lol says:

        TVB will need to award the next generation so based on their series Raymond and Kenneth are the top bill. I firmly believe TVB will air HAL quick to make it a tough game.between Kenneth and Raymond. Of course Kevin, Wayne and maybe Moses will be in top 5

      • Fox says:

        Depends. Boring guy has value of boring guy. Who can blv that in most of polls online in hk forums last last year, Kingsley won the “interesting as claimed” Gordon. Uh oh the limelight is hard to predict.

    33. P. Tan says:

      So early still in the year and the race for the annual awards is already on, and so many contenders for the crown. It’s become terribly exciting but where is Kevin now? Can anybody tell? How can he get the rest he craves for and on top of that look for the woman of his dreams with all this going on?

    34. Grace says:

      It’ll probably boils down to how good the story is & how popular the series turn out to be.
      They all can act & looks good.
      Still I do hope LF will win ….lol…..

    35. Yukified says:

      I don’t understand you people, I mean im a fan of both Ron Ng and Raymond Lam.
      First and foremost, I don’t reside in Hong Kong so I really don’t know about the tabloids nor adverts there, so to me both starts as an equal, when I saw the show when I was 11 years old in Singapore, I have already been a fan of Raymond Lam…

      To me, Ron Ng ‘s role was a little boring? While Raymond Lam have that conflicting role of both a good and bad role but eventually good which is astonishing to me so I have been a fan of him already.

      He somehow has the same role in Face To Fate, I know Frankie has the main role there but again I find him boring so I skipped his scenes to Raymond. I know this show is out in 2007, but star hub in sg being slow only broadcast recently yeah.

      Also, Kingsley how could I forget him, Raymond portray his roles so well that I only watch his scenes lol. The way he proposed to the female lead was pretty cool as well.

      In general, my favourite actors are Raymond, of cause there are Wallace Huo, Nicky Wu, Mike He, Roy Qiu, Alec Su etc, yeah they are the main actors that I keep tab of their shows….

      The rest not as much, Raymond is also the 1st canto singer that I bought his watch discography so yeah…

      While some may not agree that ray is good, to me he is a great actor and singer so yeah.

      I have said my piece ^^
