Rainbow Express – Where Late-Night Rides Turn Into Healing Conversations

Johnny, a veteran entertainer who has witnessed countless artists rise to stardom, transforms into an unlikely hero: a Viu chauffeur. Each episode features him picking up Hong Kong idols after their work shifts, turning ordinary car rides into extraordinary therapeutic journeys.

But this isn’t about traffic or destinations. It’s about real conversations. As they drive through Hong Kong’s neon-lit streets, Johnny explores how each idol defines “role model.” He listens to their struggles, their dreams, and their inner worlds. Spontaneously, he crafts surprise itineraries—sometimes it’s carefree fun at a local basketball court, sometimes it’s late-night street food in Mong Kok, sometimes it’s quietly gazing at the sea while processing life’s big questions.

It’s a show about healing through human connection.

Meet the Cast: Hong Kong’s Brightest Stars

Johnny – The Wise Chauffeur
A seasoned entertainer with industry credibility, Johnny brings warmth, humor, and genuine curiosity to each conversation. His ability to create a safe space for idols to open up is the heartbeat of the show.

Edan Lui (Episode 1)

Fresh from wrapping the Korean drama Taxi Driver, Edan Lui—member of Hong Kong’s beloved boyband Mirror—sits down for a deep seaside conversation about career transitions, mental health, and finding balance in the spotlight.

Marf Yau (Episode 2)

The multi-talented artist shares insights on various aspects of her journey, opening up about personal growth and the internal transformations she’s experienced throughout the year.

Kim & Jason (Episode 3)

Members of ROVER hit the streets of Mong Kok with Johnny, grabbing snacks and chatting about their journey as a group while navigating the pressures of the entertainment industry.

Sica Ho (Episode 4)

The singer joins Johnny for a casual supper at a street food stall, where she shares her intimate journey in music—the struggles, the breakthroughs, and what keeps her going.

ERROR (Episode 5)

Two special guests hit the basketball court with Johnny, creating a relaxed setting for conversations about variety shows, dreams, and the mental health challenges young performers face.

Why Rainbow Express Stands Out

In an era of curated celebrity content, Rainbow Express feels refreshingly honest. Johnny’s veteran status means he’s not starstruck—he treats idols as real people with real problems. There’s no manufactured drama, no forced laughter, just genuine human moments.

The show also celebrates Hong Kong’s entertainment landscape at a time when regional talent deserves more global recognition. By featuring Hong Kong idols prominently, Rainbow Express reminds viewers of the incredible talent in the city.

Each episode is short (under 13 minutes), making it perfect for winding down after a long day—ironically mirroring the idols’ own experience of needing a peaceful ride home.
