Urban Council – 1996– Apart from the occasional vulgarian and philistine, Ko Lo-chuen had moved up the social ladder to play middle-class fathers. However, his characters were marked by shrewd proclivities: they were scheming, stubborn, lascivious, who were often blundering idiots as well. In Young, Pregnant, and Unmarried, he was a blundering father; in Diary of a Chauvinistic Husband, Part Two, he was a lascivious old man searching for a concubine; in The Student Prince, he was a snob of a parent.
