~*~Bernice & Kenneth ~*~ BK

Love BK? Let's share everything BK here!
Princess Bernice Liu and Prince Kenneth Ma captured our hearts when they came onscreen together as Man Tai Bo & Koon Ching Wan in Into Thin Air. Despite the limited screen time, the couple managed to shine and steal the show. During the airing of the series, the forums became populated with a rush of Bernice-Kenneth fans, who came to be lovingly known as BK fans. Their next pairing onscreen in The Brink of Law, as ah Wing and ah Ming, led many fans to declare that despite Kenneth's small guest role, he and Bernice had much more chemistry and loving gestures in the first 8 episodes compared to Bernice and Steven in the entire series.

While the BK-pairing may not house the most numerous nor the most active fanbase, they have managed to leave a permanent mark in our hearts and memories. Without a doubt, BK is always within the top 3 or top 4 lists of the pairings for Bernice and Kenneth individually.

We await anxiously and excitedly for the next time...or maybe even "times" when TVB pairs this gorgeous and charming pair together again!


Series/Miniseries They've Been In Together:

Virtues of Harmony
Golden Faith
Survivor's Law
Summer Friends Forever

Hidden Text:
This was an advertising miniseries for Houses/Villages in China
(eg. The ones like Tavia lived in in TBBOL).
Cast: Bernice, Kenneth, Sammul Chan, Heidi Chu, Waise Lee, Yvonne Lam

The story is about two Realtors, Kenneth & Sammul. Kenneth is the lazy and more assertive one. Bernice is Waise's (he is both guys' sifu/boss) sister who just came w/ friend Heidi to visit.Kenneth has always had a crush on Bernice as she has come during the summers. This is Sammul's 1st time meeting her, h/e & he falls for her too.
Kenneth pretends to have a stomach ache and sneaks off work so he could hang out w/ Bernice. They have a good time together, going around to eat and Karaoke, where both sing (Kenneth sings Kelly Chen's FaFa World & Bernice sings an English song). Kenneth, gets really tired from their trip, showing signs that maybe he didn't actually fake his illness.
Sammul soon becomes jealous and gets in a fight w/ Kenneth because he mistakens that Kenneth is taking advantage of Bernice (when actually he was helping her regain balance). The once bestfriends are at odds. During this time, Bernice realizes she has feelings for Sammul.
Heidi consoles Kenneth, asking him to think clearly about whether he really likes Bernice or whether it's an infatuation. He thinks about it and then he takes the initiative to befriend Sammul again. They promise to be friends and let Bernice choose whoever she wants to.
At the end, BS end up together & Kenneth ends up w/ Heidi.

(if anything. I watched this b4 ITA & already really liked BK. Since Sammul was more popular back then, he was paired w/ Bernice. Things sure do change. Also, BK had so many more traveling /outdoor scenes!)

What Do the Stars say about the Couple's Compatibility?

* Compatibility Test - Chinese Year, Month, Day and Hour Signs.
Bernice (Horse) + Kenneth (Tiger) = Rating 95%

* Aquarius and Capricorn
When Capricorn and Aquarius join together in a love match, they tend to bring out the most positive attributes of one another. Capricorn is a more cautious, rational outlook on life, while Aquarius is insatiable, fostering an idealistic approach to nearly everything. On the surface, they may seem like total opposites, but once these two set eyes on one another, an unbreakable bond is formed. hug.gif
Hidden Text:
Both Capricorn and Aquarius can be opinionated to the point of seeming unwilling to compromise. Capricorn thrives on organization and is always looking for consequences. Aquarius is modern and finds routine troublesome and boring. Capricorn will find wonder in Aquarius, but may get frustrated trying to find a stitch of logic in their partner's desultory, mystical mind. Aquarius will not appreciate the domineering streak in their partner, but will find the solid base that Capricorn provides to be a great support and will be relieved that someone will help them to take care of their personal matters.

Capricorn and Aquarius are ruled by Saturn, and Aquarius is also ruled by Uranus. Saturn is a cool, traditional energy. This planet is very goal-oriented and devoted to progressive thinking. Capricorn and Aquarius merge their strengths to Aquarian revolutions or Capricornian social status. Uranus is about all things different and unusual. Capricorn will show Aquarius a life based on organization, rationality and comfort. Aquarius can help Capricorn to dream more and possibly stand up for their beliefs.
Capricorn is an Earth Sign and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Aquarius sees life as an random exploration, while Capricorn looks for a specific result. At times, these two may understand where the other is coming from. Conflicts can arise in this relationship if Capricorn becomes overly regimented or Aquarius drifts off too often into flights of fancy. Both partners need to learn that they have a unique way of navigating life's paths, and so have many things to share with and learn from one another.

Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign and Aquarius is a Fixed Sign. Both can be implacable, opinionated and stubborn. Both partners have an intense drive to obtain objects of their desire. If they have a plan, they'll stick to it until they have what they want. Capricorn prefers to generate the ideas and to dole out the assignments. Aquarius is pleased to help Capricorn out if they are given a substantial role. Conflicts may occur due to the pigheadedness of both Signs. However, if they understand they're working together for a common goal, it's much easier for them to achieve noticeable results.

What's the best aspect of the Capricorn-Aquarius relationship? It's the unbreakable bond they form when they come together. This relationship will be enlightening and a delight to both partners. Their love will be a valid asset, not only to themselves, but to those around them.
