Analyze the sentence structure in “He looks cute”

In English, "he" in the sentence "He looks cute" is the  subject of a copular verb, which is similar in Mandarin; "CUTE" serves as a predicative word. While in Chinese, there is no predictive word. This sentence can be translated as 他看上去很可爱。here "很可爱(hen3 ke3 ai4, CUTE)" works as a complement.
