Friday February 23, 2007 HongKong Chinese Title 寫意人生 Cantonese: Se Yi Yan Sung Producer: Tommy Leung Choi Yuen (Head Producer of [The Drive of Life] Cast: Leading Female/Male: Gigi Lai, & Kevin Cheng Veteran Actors: Paul Chun (One of the Main Characters), Helen Ma Returning Star: Astrid Chan Hot Newcomers: Natalie Tong, Kathy Yuen, & Matthew Ko Supporting Cast: Queenie Chu, Ben Wong, Josephine Shum,Vinci Wong, Rabaee Yeung, Yvonne Lam, & Sam Ho Yan Character's Intro: Gigi's Characters: In Life Art, Gigi’s image is one of gentleness and innocence. She will be dressed in a simple white dress with minimal make-up through out the series. In the series, her character loves to paint and do calligraphy. But an accident causes her to lose the use of her right hand. She goes through a lot. She has to find the strength to move on and through her determination, she strives to use her left hand to paint and draw, and eventually she becomes a famous cartoonist. 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 Paul Chun plays Gigi Lai’s dad. He teaches Kevin how to live and enjoy life while teaching him Mandarin. Natalie Tong once again plays a rebel. Kevin's younger sister, whose outlook, behaviour and mannerisms are reflective of Hong Kong’s younger generation. (apathetic attitude towards their family and society. The message they are trying to convey in the series is that they have to change.) Queenie Chu: Based on interviews, it seems like Queenie Chu will be the third party that will come between Kevin & Gigi. credits: tvbgeneration, asianfanatics.
