Francis Ng's fans unsatisfied for his TV King loss

19 Dec – Dayo Wong's victory as this year's TV King did not sit well with many, especially with "Triumph in the Skies 2" actor Francis Ng's fans.

According to Sina website, though Francis himself, who made a surprising appearance at the TVB Anniversary Awards on 16 December, expressed his support for Dayo to win the award, a lot of fans believed that the major movie star should win instead.

Several fans credited Francis, who made a climactic return to TVB a decade later to shoot the series, for helping TVB from further ratings slump through his brilliant role reprisal as Captain Samuel Tong, making the series the highest-rated drama of the year.

Even former NBA star, Yi Jianlin was surprised that Francis did not win the said award, saying, "Why Captain Tong isn't the TV King?"

However, Francis was graceful about losing the award to Dayo, saying that he is satisfied with the result and that there is always a reason for everything.

He also turned to Weibo to thank his fans and the series' viewers, saying, "Thank you to all the voters. I have (finally) appeared on television", inviting 5,000 comments that mostly praised the actor's performance and providing him with support.
