Kevin Cheng Eager to Start a Family; Yoyo Mung Considers Marriage Unimportant
In new TVB series, < Only You 只有您>, Kevin Cheng Ka Wing and Yoyo Mung Ka Wai portray quarrelsome lovers. Kevin plays a slovenly and financially insecure photographer, while Yoyo plays a middle-aged woman greedy for money who was dumped by her boyfriend and unable to find a husband. At first, the Kevin and Yoyo’s character dislike each other. After experiencing numerous events together, the couple find a happy ending together.
Yoyo Mung Reveals the Female Heart
Kevin and Yoyo’s prior collaboration was in 2007’s Last One Standing <與敵同行>. Due to the relaxed and easy-going script of Only You, Kevin and Yoyo developed a good partnership. Kevin praised Yoyo’s acting in several scenes depicting female psychology. Kevin said, “A woman’s inner mentality is often difficult to observe on the surface. If a woman does not get married by a certain age and become pegged as ‘leftovers,’ there is a great deal of pressure. Perhaps she may say she does not mind outside. I was quite moved by these scenes.”
40-Year-Old Kevin Cheng Craves Children
Entering the industry for twenty years, Kevin has turned 40-years-old in the blink of an eye. Despite reaching middle age, fortunately Kevin did not face the pressure to get married from his mother. He craved to become a father; as he grows older, there will be less energy to play with his children. However, finding a significant other was not easy. Kevin indicated that he did not mind whether the woman worked within or outside the industry. The most important factor was that they were compatible. An industry insider would understand the unstable work hours, while an outsider may not understand.
Kevin’s past ex-girlfriends and rumored romantic interests, Linda Wong Hing Ping, Niki Chow Lai Kei, Charmaine Sheh Si Man, and model Jenny Tsui, worked mostly in the entertainment industry. When the reporter asked whether Charmaine was compatible with him, Kevin replied carefully, “It’s hard to say. The most important is the feeling as marriage is about spending a lifetime together. IT is best to avoid making any mistakes.”
Since Kevin was currently looking for a wife and not a girlfriend, he was looking for a woman who had maturity. He hoped to have a simple family life after getting married and grow old with his wife. Kevin spoke about his vision, “Men have to cultivate the self, regulate the family, rule the state and the world. Currently, I am cultivating my self, as I will be filming topless for The King Boxer <拳王>.”
Yoyo Mung Not in a Hurry to Get Married
Yoyo Mung said that not getting married was not a problem. Although having a significant other resulted in much happiness, many people only have their friends left towards the end of life. Yoyo believed that having good friends was the most important thing and she will not pass over her friends for her boyfriend. In Only You, Yoyo plays a wedding planner and meticulously plans her younger brother’s wedding. She noted that many couples obsess over their wedding planning. The series denotes a difference between having a wedding versus a marriage, a point worthy of reflection.
Yoyo added, “Couples will often experience clashes in their relationship. Kevin’s character is a carefree person and will spend all the money he has, while women consider security as one of the topmost priorities.” (Did Yoyo request that her boyfriend, Ekin Cheng, plan for the future?) “I did not have any special requests. Growing older, the process and experience itself is very important. This series delivers a message that having a good marriage was more important than having a wedding.”
Over the Lunar New Year holiday, Yoyo had a fever and vomited. Due to the holiday, Yoyo did not want to go to the hospital. Her boyfriend, Ekin Cheng, suggested that Yoyo play video games to “sweat out” her fever. Yoyo snapped at Ekin and asked whether he wanted her dead? When two people are in a relationship, arguments were inevitable. The most important aspect was that they were both happy in the relationship. When Ekin made congee for Yoyo, her heart was filled with joy.

Jayne: I love watching a good romantic comedy…and the premise of “Only You” doesn’t sound too bad.
I think Only You will be a good series with this sweet topic. I like the one story per episode idea.
Kevin should lose the hat. It make him look his age which is older. He look better and younger with his normal hair.
He’s wearing the hair maybe because he is bald, just shaved his hair?
It is. He’s bald because of his china series.
He’s better looking and younger looking when he has hair. I don’t like his bald and hat look.
Oh mannn, I (really) don’t like that look either 🙁 I hope his hair grows soon haha.
And sigh, Charmaine’s name always comes out. Doesn’t anyone remember him and Nikki anymore? :/ I don’t even get unhappy anymore lol, I’ll just… continue hoping and hoping they’ll get back together 🙁
Ahhhh if he and Charmaine are still together, we may be hearing wedding bells soon. If they’re not, I am sure Kevin has plenty of female admirers in TVB
Kevin is famous for his good looking face I’m sure he has many admirers to choose from besides Charmaine.
Only You is really good. Yoyo is very good and funny in this one. The stories and characters are also quite refreshing so far (I’m at episode 5).
When you are with a boyfriend who doesn’t want to commit, what can you do but say ‘not getting married was not a problem’?
lol sounds logical.
Back on topic, hopefully I’m interested in catching this show because Kevin has grown on me. 🙂 Yoyo is okay, too.
As a fan of Yoyo and Ekin, I don’t see Ekin is not commit to this relationship. If you pay more attention to them, you wont say something like this. Ekin bought news house which Yoyo liked, even he already have many other houses, he bought car for her when she wanted a new one. From time to time he will hand in hand go see movies or go supermarket with her. In his last concert, He said thanks to her before thousands of fans. What more commit he has to show? They’re such a loving couple in my opinion.
Thanks for the info Cherry. After the big break up with Maggie Siu and then Gigi Leung, I really hope that Ekin is committed to Yoyo. I actually have a good feeling towards Ekin and Yoyo and I heard Ekin parent’s like her too. However, in spite of all the things he does for her, why won’t he just marry her if he is THAT committed? I personally would question how committed a guy is to me if he refuses to marry me. If he is willing to do this and that for you but not marry you. I find that there is something really wrong with that…
come on ekin, you can get better tail than that in hk
I do wish that Kevin will soon grow his hair back. No man, however handsome can look good with no hair, besides, it’s unnatural.He had to shave it off for the Mainland sries, Bu Bu Jing Xin, a time-travelling tale. I’ve been able to watch only snippets of Only You and it does look interesting to me. Just waiting for the DVD.
Kevin’s hat gotta go!!!!! He looked way cuter in seven day with nikki chow thought they made a cuter couple!!!
I know right, the hat is like, ._. Yayy someone still remembers them! I AGREE. I’m still shipping kevin-nikki till now(:
Kevin is so great. He always plays very good in every role in his film. Really love to watch all film having him 🙂
