Tracy Chu’s realistic performance in K9 Cop wins netizens' praise
HONG KONG: Last year Smooth Talker and The Fixer star, Tracy Chu has topped the popularity polls again with her role in this year’s K9 Cop.
The cop comedy, which also stars Bosco Wong, Linda Chung, and Raymond Wong, premiered on Feb 9.
Numerous netizens came online to praise Tracy’s realistic “kong girl” portrayal, commenting that they ended up getting really invested in her character and her relationship with Raymond. A netizen opened a post to praise Tracy’s performance, calling her “girlfriendable.” A netizen shared that he went through a similar experience with his girlfriend. Another netizen said that though Tracy’s role is very money-minded, she is likable and realistic.
A female netizen said Tracy was spot-on in her “kong girl” approach, saying, “Whether it’s the inside or the outside, Tracy Chu did a really good job with this role. She perfectly acted out the contradictions that women would feel in a relationship.”
On the show, Tracy plays Raymond’s longtime girlfriend of four years who desperately wants him to quit his career of being a police officer so he can inherit his family’s restaurant business. She even threatens to break up with him, but Raymond, passionate about what he does, refuses to step down. In the end, Tracy’s older brother, portrayed by Bosco Wong, reminds her of Raymond’s good qualities, and the two make up their differences.
