Low key peng is the understated compliment — an admission that someone or something is more attractive or excellent than you'd initially clock, or more than you feel like openly declaring. It carries a slight reluctance, like the speaker is trying to maintain their composure while conceding quality. You might describe a film as low key peng because you didn't expect it, or a person whose appeal sneaks up on you slowly. It's the UK slang equivalent of a slow double-take: impressive without demanding a reaction, which somehow makes it more so.
I wasn't rating him at first but he's low key peng — the more I look the more I see it.
