The TVB series "Mrs. Revenge" is currently airing and has received many good comments after its release. Kenneth Ma, who plays 「葉家謙」, has even been praised for being a good man both on and offscreen. He jokingly said that it may be because Samantha Ko's character in the series had too rough of an experience; the screenwriters, unable to bear it, added a warm guy for her, pointing out that this good man character only exists in fairytales, modestly saying that he himself does not have such good qualifications.
Kenneth and Roxanne Tong officially became husband and wife in 2023. Asked if his mindset or acting approach would have some sort of scruples or inhibitions when playing warm guys or husband roles now that he is married, he frankly said that he also merely follows the script. Of course, have to inform his wife [if] there were intimate scenes, though Roxanne also would not mind, as she is also a professional actor herself. However, Kenneth laughingly pointed out that, after becoming a husband, [he] realized that there is a discrepancy between the husbands in the series and reality: "Filming involves tropes, but in real life, [when] two people live together, truly facing each other for 24 hours a day!" He believes that real-life marriage definitely requires mutual understanding; if only one party makes compromises, this marriage definitely would not last. [He] also pointed out that everyone might assume that he is the only one making concessions for his wife, but there are actually times when Roxanne also makes compromises for him. Kenneth also revealed, "I'm really foolish when it comes to online stuff! For instance, I would find it a hassle to pay electricity bills or gas bills online...can't be bothered to deal with it. Plus, read about so many scams where it is so easy to get the entire account balance drained through online transactions! Actually, my wife is scared of hassles as much as I am, but can't do anything about it because I am not willing to handle it, so she ends up handling it". When asked about the areas where he has to accommodate his wife, he frankly said that he is a person who loves cars, specificially paying attention to the tidiness of the interior; however, his wife loves to eat and drink in the vehicle the most, which also really bothered him at first: "But now, I don't mind anymore. (Because [she is] already your wife?) She is the only person who is allowed to do that...ha ha!" He believes that women should ultimately be accommodated and cherished. Even when in a standoff where each side is holding his or her ground, he also ultimately ends up being the one to 'give way'.
In addition, it was mentioned that he had received positive comments after holding shows in Mainland with his good friends, Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho. When asked if shifting focus to the music scene, given that TVB has reduced the production of series in recent years, might be a good choice, Kenneth frankly said that he still loves acting the most, laughingly pointing out that commercial performances usually only require a few songs; however, the setlist is much longer when holding a show: "These are songs that I had heard of but had never sung before. Later, got dragged off by the two of them to practice singing. After hearing [me] for the first time, Edwin said, '[We're] in trouble'"! He expressed gratitude to his brothers for not giving up on him and for acting as his vocal coaches. Thanks to diligent practice, there has been improvement, and with the support of sponsors, even successfully took their show beyond Asia to the US; he was also pleasantly surprised by the unexpected good news. Asked if [they] would consider forming a boy band in the long run, he said, "No need. The three of us can continue holding concerts. It just so happens that there aren't many series being produced right now. These are opportunities to make money. Plus, many people in Mainland also grew up watching our series. More forgiving of my singing...already satisfied as long as it is not too bad". He pointed out that his wife, Roxanne, often teases him about his mediocre singing skills, laughingly saying that he also agrees, as it is only barely passable, revealing that [he] plans to find a coach to seriously learn how to sing.
