The Leading Stars & Dramas for the next 3 Years
We are mapping out the entire 3 year’s plan on the types of dramas to be produced for your viewing pleasure. Any leading stars you want to see?
I need you to share on 2 areas. First, I need you to tell me what drama genres you want. For example:
Family Drama – The story always feature families’ matters and the ending is usually positive. E.g. 煮妇的假期, 团圆饭, 奶爸百分百
Social Drama – Story has elements reflecting social issues. E.g. 不凡的爱, 书包太重, 一房半厅一水缸
Historical Drama (including epic) (including War Dramas) – Films that focus on dramatic events in history. E.g. 出路, 和平的代价
Melodrama: a sub-type of drama films that uses plots that appeal to the heightened emotions of the audience. Melodramatic plots often deal with “crises of human emotion, failed romance or friendship, strained familial situations, tragedy, illness, neuroses, or emotional and physical hardship.” Or some may call such a genre as “weepies”, tearjerkers, or “chick flicks”. E.g. 沸腾冰点, 钻石情缘, 至尊红颜
Police/Investigative Drama – Character development based on themes involving criminals, law enforcement and the legal system. E.g. 叮当神探, 破茧而出, 刑警二人组
Period Drama – Dramas in period settings (this can include folklore and mythology). E.g. 小娘惹, 河水山, 少林僧兵, 封神榜, 红孩儿
Romance: a sub-type of dramatic film which dwells on the elements of romantic love. E.g. 爱的掌门人, 1/2缘分, 变奏曲
Fantasy: a sub drama type that has elements removed from reality. E.g. 阴差阳错, 幸运星, 凡间新鲜人
Thrillers/Sci-fi: E.g. 谜云二十天, 谜图, 镜中人, 法医X档案, 十三鞭
Idol Drama: E.g. 星锁, 天…使我爱你
Paranormal: Theme dabbling in the supernatural/paranormal phenomena (both contemporary and period). E.g. 迷离夜, 奇缘
Profession-based: The theme of the serial is based on specific vocations/professions (includes uniformed groups). E.g. 法庭俏佳人, 真心英雄, 宝家卫国, 奇迹
You may have come across genres other than those listed above. Feel free to suggest. Please share what genre you most prefer and give examples of any dramas (local or overseas) you have seen before in this format:

The Leading Stars You Want to See for the Next 3 Years:
Next, I would also like to find out from you which 10 stars you want to see in the next 3 years (in order of priority). You may have more than 10 stars but I just want you to list 10 stars (you can include newbie stars you want to see them taking up lead roles).
So, keep your comments coming in as we gather your feedback and map out what and whom you will be seeing in the next 3 years.
Say now or forever hold your peace…hehe.

3 Genres I want to see:
-Police/investigation drama
-Family Based
-Melodrama
-Police/investigation + Romance
[by the way, why isn't there 'comedy' in the genres?]
Why I like such genres:
-Police/investigation drama
-it adds the excitement.
-Family Based
-Family dramas are always refreshing.
-Melodrama
– N/A
-Police/investigation + Romance
-Some twist and turns there with a little bit of love makes verything much more realistic.
10 stars I like to see in the following 3 years (2010/2011/2012) in order :
1. Eelyn Kok (from her performance in ‘Together’, ‘Precious Babes’ and ‘The Family Court’, she convinced me that she can act really well. She’s just not given the chance.)
2.Tay Ping Hui (He never cease to amaze me. Every role he plays is portrayed in such an exquisite way that he makes me believe that who he is. I see Mediacorp giving him many chances and I hope he beings home the Best Actor award next year)
3.Chen Han Wei (Portraying a role isn’t much of a problem for him. He, like Tay Ping Hui, never cease to amaze me.)
4.Koh Yah Hwee (This bubbly girl can act, but she just hasn’t show her true potential yet. She proved to us that she can take on any kind of role. e.g The Table of Glory, The Best Things In Life)
5.Cynthia Koh (Cynthia. What can I say. She’s just such a brilliant actress. From her latest role in Mrs.PI, she proved that she can do much much more. Just give her a chance.)
6.Rui En (Being one of the youngest artistes in Mediacorp, I have to say, she impressed me. Her looks and her acting skills)
7.Terence Cao (Bagging a nomination in the Asian Television awards must be huge accomplishment for him. I agree that his performance in ‘The Best Things in Life’ is just wonderful.)
8.Joanne Peh (She may be irritable sometimes but based on your latest post, she can act. really well)
9.Cai Pei Xuan (She has been given the 小妹 too many times before, but based on her latest role in ‘The Score’, she showed that she can be really lady like and elegant. Her acting skills are not to be under-estimated)
10.Paige Chua (Paige has been in this industry for almost 3 years now, but she hasn’t really shone yet. Chances.)
Additional: Shaun Chen, Yvonne Lim and Belinda Lee
Indeed, all three are from ‘Your hand in Mine’.
Shaun led me to believe that he is really a baddie.
Yvonne has the potential just that she hasn’t got the chances.
Belinda has got all the chances she can get and I her on-screen presence is not irritable.
The Leading Stars I Want to See for the Next 3 Years:
1.Eelyn Kok | Tay Ping Hui
2.Cynthia Koh | Terence Cao
3.Joanne Peh | Chen Han Wei
Preferred couples:
1.Eelyn Kok and Qi YiWu
2.Jeanette Aw and Elvin Ng
3.Cynthia Koh and Darren Lim
4.Rui En and Chen HanWei (Although Chen HanWei might be a LITTLE too old)
5.Jesseca Liu and Tay PingHui (Yes, Jessesca isn’t in Mediacorp anymore, but she can come back for guest staring, right?)
6.Ann Kok and Zhen GePing
——-
This submission might be a little late, since your post was in 2009.

please give terence cao better roles. he has shown that he still can act (in the best things in life), so we’d love to see him in roles which he can “fa hui” his talent. being in the industry for 20 years already, i think he’s definitely too underrated. people who’ve been in this industry for so long should be more recognised that this!

Romance is a must else if will be very boring i guess but hope to see more of the twist and turn kind, more exciting.
I was wondering if melodrama will be better. But as audience, no matter how bad things happen in between, we will always hope to see how the bad events can turn better eventually, hence it will depend on how the story writer twist and turn the story, making it more exciting.
Both romance and melodrama can be blended in to add flavours to the story, thus an interesting one for people to guess in between.
What if in the drama there are less talking and more expressions, i hardly see in singapore dramas. hope to see…
Genres (not sure if i can have more than 3) :
1. romance + family based
2. idol + melodrama ( idol drama will have to depend on the right match of couple so as to get people talking for eg the very popular taiwan show that has spread to even US side, ming zhong zu ding wo ai ni.)
3. romance+ profession based
Profession wised can be featuring those well known jobs that are best in the industry like designers, lawyers, doctors, etc ? Somehow can give youngsters inspirations on what they can do in future too isn’t it?
4. melodrama + family based
leading stars:
1. Elvin ng
2. Jesseca Liu
3. 715
4. Jeanette Aw
5. Dyt
6. Nat ho

romance is a must, i guessed if not it won’t be interesting enough to see a twist and turn in the story. However, romance can always be a blend in sort. Like romance + ???…
Genres (not sure if i can have more than 3):
1. romance+ family based
2. idol drama+ melodrama (idol drama also depends on the right match of couples to get people talking just like the taiwan show that is super popular ming zhong zu ding wo ai ni)
3. romance+ profession based (lawyers, doctors, designers, pathologists, etc?)
4. melodrama+ family based
Leading stars:
1. Elvin Ng
2. Jesseca Liu

FIrstly, I hope that readers will STOP criticizing Zoe. PLEASE!
Top 3 genres:
1. History (War) — It has been almost a decade since war themes have been filmed. Will be refreshing to do so again.
2. Period dramas(Purely MDC production; No No to co-production)
On a side note, MDC should have noticed that when they engaged in co-production and broadcast that show, viewer ratings dropped as
a. MDC stars are always casted as sidekicks of the main leads.
3. Adaptation of manga and novels: like 金田一, jin yong’s novels or zhang xiao xian’ s novels~~
Just my 2cents worth..

Genres i will like to see
1) Idol Drama: We have taiwan, japanese, korea version of F4 so why can’t we have singapore version of F4. And i personally think Mediacorp has enough good looking guys to potray F4, out of which includes ELVIN NG, Dai Yang Tian, Joshua Ang and many others. I bet singapore version of F4 will make the ratings fly.
2) Detective Drama/Sci-Fic: Most audience will love a great detective drama. fa Zheng Xian Feng of TVB is one of the most successful examples of such drama.
3) Family Drama: Nothing warms a audience heart after a exhausting day of work with family drama. This is also one of the areas i feel mediacorp is doing quite well in
Top 10 stars for next 3 years:
1) Elvin Ng ( A definite must must with him and Rui En)
Jerry Yeo
2) Rui En
3) Felicia Chin
4) Jessica Liu
5) Daw Yeoh
6) Jeannate Aw
7) Joshua Ang
9) Christopher Lee
10) Fann Wong

I think one genre which mediacorp hasn’t been producing much would be dramas shot in a more humorous way, example: fu man ren jian
The camera angles and chracters actions brings out laughter in audiences. At the same time, there is also a storyline behind it. I love the way the director flimed for Fated To Love You. A pity that mediacorp hasnt been producing much of this drama. The recent drama Baby bonus has a little bit of comedy in it using camera angles. eg showing actors/actresses talking to the camera. I wonder if you get what I’m saying, i find it a little hard to explain.
One drama which i missed most was fa yi X dang an. One good thing about this drama is that every episode is a new case, so you dont have to worry about missing any epi. I felt that that show was great and the pairing of ivy and edmund was GREAT.
Mediacorp produces many family dramas and i find it getting a little to dry as the ideas are all the same.
Leading stars:
Felicia Chin(okay, im biased cos im a fan of her)
Starsearch contestants( I feel that they lack exposure, even though their acting may not be up to standard, but if they’re not given chances they’ll never improve!)
This is just my 2 cents worth, (:

Top 3 genres :
Police/Investigative Drama (best on Interpol, like Korean’s Time of Dog & Wolf)
Thrillers/Sci-fi (on untouched-topic like movie, Surrogates)
Comedy (like Charmaine Sheh’s 绝代商骄）
Top 10 artistes I want to see for the next 3 yrs:
1) Dai Yang Tian
Zheng Ge Ping
2) Joshua Ang
3) Jeanette Aw
4) Joanne Peh
5) Priscelia Zeng
6) Chen Han Wei
7) 715
9)Tiffany Liang Li Fen
10) Teresa Zeng
If not for a bad first impression I had of Kola Zhou Ying when I saw her, I’d have put her into the top 10 list. Not friendly, stuck-up.

3 Genres I want to see:
1. Family Drama. Those light-hearted family dramas that quarrel because of money matters, or any reality-like stuffs.
2. Idol Drama. We’ve seen many overseas Idol Dramas. But haven’t seen any for quite a long time.
3. Fantasy Drama. I like Zero to Hero. I would like to see more of such shows.
Top 10: (In order of pirority)
1. Jesseca Liu. She really needs a breakthrough drama because she has the potential. But she hasn’t been given the chance. Why holding back?
2. TPH. His acting has been proven. But he still lack of chances to grab his award.
3. Joanne Peh. Great Acting, but I want to see more of her.
4. Elvin Ng. Shown improvement.
5. DYT. I hope to see him acting as a bad guy. He definitely has the potential.
6. Felicia Chin. I like the way she potrays herself in BB although the role doesn’t seem pleasing to everyone.
7. Fann Wong.
8. Dawn Yeoh.
9. Zzen Zhang.
10. Huang Hui.

Drama genre:
1) Historical Drama
2) Police/Investigation Drama
3) Thriller/ Sci-fi
Taiwan had lotz of romance idol drama thus i think mediacrop shld not follow suit. Instead, we shld film something unique and different to attract more viewer esp the youngsters.
Leading Stars:
Belinda Lee
1) Ivy Lee
Attract her back to Singapore from HK w a good script
2) Paige Chua
Up rising star. I think she really can act. Maybe apart from drama, mediacrop can consider letting her host a travel program based on BACKPACKING to introduce more in depth cultural stuff?
3) Thomas Ong
He is still as charming as before. Nevertheless, his acting skills improve tremendously over the time (esp in recent drama like “一切完美” n “我们的饭店”) after disappearing from scene for years.
4) Jeanette Aw
Give her more chances and let her shine even brighter
5) Rui En
有想法，有个性的艺人. She has her charm in acting
6) Michelle Chia
Think she did rather well in “一切完美” so give her more opportunities to prove herself
7) Elvin Ng
He has the X factor but nd more chances to brush up his acting skills
Haven’t been seeing her on screen for quite some time. Busy w “稀游记3″?
9) Dai Yang Tian
Think he is on par w Elvin same fighting ground same room of improvement = equal opportunities?
10) Fann Wong
Would like to see her more on the local screen =)

3 Genres:
1. Melodrama
I never liked this type of drama until i see HK’s Heart of Greed. The lines, the atmosphere and the plot is tightly knitted and with little drag. Not to say that Singapore has to ‘copy’ that format, but hope to see more creative yet intriging storyline. No 豪門恩怨 but more to power (or money) feuds… but at the same time take care of the softer sides (i.e. romance, family bonding). Brawns and brains matter.
2. Period Drama
I was thrilled when the Little Nyonya came on because it’s been a while since MDC produced a period drama. Hope to see at least one period drama every year reflecting the changing of times (like this yr’s Together & next yr’s “40s ge tai” drama). Since we’re into the 2010′s, maybe we can look back at the 1980s and 1990s as well, we don’t have to be stuck at 1940s-1970s all the time. Or something like “胭脂水粉” in the 20s-30s will also be nice.
3. Social drama
There’s a lot of social issues happening in our society, i.e. aging population, single-parent families, children with special needs etc. Hope to see dramas which will convey messages that will spark awareness to let people know that they need care and concern. i.e. the life of a child who has autism and how it shaped the family’s lives and perspectives to the society.
10 Stars who I want to see (for dramas)…
1. Felicia Chin (in period drama)
2. Joanne Peh
3. Dai Yang Tian (would like to see more of him in modern-day dramas)
4. Xiang Yun

Little Nyonya. – I love this drama.
I went to Singapore twice and Malacca.
I have no enough time to visit all place in Malacca.
But I love BABA and Nyonya culture.
Little Nyonya, played in SHANGHAI televison.
I am interested in this drama. The dressing, Food, culture of Nyonya.
I noticed 1 new star in this drama.
NAT HO.
Although he is not the leading actor , I still feel he played very well as a boy friend of 陈靓萱。
I want to see more Singapore drama played in China, in SHANGHAI.
and NAT will act more different role in future.

But please please, the script better be good and the case better be nice.
As for Idol Drama, use more of those new/fresh faces like Nat Ho, Paige Chua, Rebecca Lim, or audition specially for the idol drama..
no no to those very late 20s to 30s plus actor/actress still trying to be ‘idol’

My 20 cents worth… (Haha! Coz I think my opinion is actually quite valuable)
1. Genre is not important
From the hundreds of comments left, it seems that there isn’t a clear crowd fav. Every genre has success and failure cases.
For me, the point is not to stick to one genre but to switch/rotate. For e.g. Holland V was a hit, then after that, there was a whole slew of such dramas–tong xing yuan, the foot reflex one… a bit of an overkill towards the end.
Leaving fans of a genre wanting more would be a better strategy than giving them so much that they become ‘gelat’.
(Paul: Correct, we have identified this issue too, thank you)
2. Mature audience
With the internet and cable tv, people who watch TV get to watch local and HK/TW productions. Mediacorp’s attempts to copy/adapt ideas will be more and more obvious. Often, direct comparison puts SG productions down as the inferior production.
Nonya was such a hit because of its innovation. It was a good mixture of history-romance, nostalgia and poignant love is a good formula. Chu Lu combined some of these elements too! Still remember the tragic wedding scene with Hong Dou after all these years….
While SGreans like dramas they can identify with, screaming aunties, quarrelsome heart-landers and straying husbands seem like a dime a dozen on tv. Think the brainstorming and creativity is the most important factor. The challenge is to think of something the fans can’t think of. Meeting expectations can’t compare to surprising and exceeding expectations.
(Paul: Correct)
3. Leads
While planning ahead is sound, in 3 years, the current favs will be in their late 20s/30s. Technology allows them to look younger but they will no longer be convincing as undergraduates/young love birds etc.
Perhaps the planning could extent to grooming a younger tween talents. I think in the long run, for SG to break into overseas market, we need young, fresh and talented actors. While it is true that acting takes time to develop, the longevity of the actors will be extended if they start younger.
(Paul: There’s a deliberate effort introduced to ensure new blood are given good roles every year to help them move up to lead roles)
4. Quality of production
On the issue of acting, I’ve always wondered what actors do when they are not filming? Does the company send them for training? New actors, after 2-3 years of Drama classes can’t still be that bad right? Even secondary school students improve with CCA training…
Actors like Terrence Cao, Li Nanxing and even Zoe Tay and Fann haven’t improved at the rate proportional to their years at the station. (before the fans scream, I’m a Zoe Tay fan. But I think she lost her competitive edge when dubbing went out of fashion. As for Fann, her acting is too controlled/stiff these days, lacks a full range of emotions maybe because she maintains her pretty image even while acting.)
Script writing has improved but could still do with further honing. I hardly watch TV but when I do, it is very easy to guess what will happen next and what the characters will say. Maybe adapt from short stories/plays instead of other dramas? SG don’t read much Chinese fiction… Can explore that option. Good TV=good plot=good literature.
Cheers to Singapore! May our celebrities become International STARS!!!

historical drama<3! 历史背景的电视剧尤其好看，掺杂爱情故事，可歌可泣，还可以从中学习很多东西。。
悬疑剧也不错～ profession-based drama, romance.
不建议idol drama,因为打不过台湾那些偶像剧。
未来3年想看到的艺人～：
欧萱，戴阳天，黄俊雄，芮恩，周颖，戚玉武，李南星，范文芳，刘芷绚

Open Letter to Executive Producer Mr. Yeo Saik Pin and Production Committee:
I came across this news online (http://news.omy.sg/News/Local%2BNews/Story/OMYStory200910080413-96325.html), and I think there is potential in the concepts of DNA testing and forensic science for future production. I would like to see more crime/investigative dramas, particularly produced by EP Yeo Saik Pin, with Rui En casted as the main lead. Looking forward to more of such dramas. Thank you.

i wan to see vivian lai back in acting. pair vivian lai n tay pinghui tgtr la! or pair vivian lai n dawn yeoh as sisters. dawn yeoh i tink match very well with robert zhang (zzen). so the show can be vivian & pinghui and dawn & zzen. should be quite nice! quite a refreshing combi also.
or actually vivian lai n yvonne lim also got sister look. can pair them tgtr. and they fight over the same man – tay ping hui – again. in de end yvonne win, vivian try to sabo the relationship. in the end tay pinghui turned out to be cheat and actually swindled both of them of their estates and properties. the two sisters then patch up and decided not to fight over the same man again. ending will be both of them bump into qiyuwu along the street. den both of them de eyes open bright bright like wan to eat him. this mite be an ending that will lead to a sequel, possibly!

3 genres of dramas and examples:
social eg. by my side, my school daze
police/investigative eg. metamorphosis, crimebusters x2
period eg. bukit ho swee, together
reasons:
i think it’s time for more social dramas so as to raise people awareness of more social issues and as there is quite a number of family dramas in 2009. there’s no police/investigative dramas in 2009, so it’ll be great to have them again as they’re pretty interesting. it’s good to have period dramas so as to let us know more about the cultures from the various time periods.

I pity poor Zoe again. Why she always got people attacking her ah? She is just an artiste like everyone else. It is not like she say she is Ah Jie, everyone has to respect her. She is so down to earth. U want to blame, blame the company, blame the media. Everyone calls her Ah Jie. She didn’t call herself that! People like David Gan tell the younger artistes to greet her Ah Jie. Not herself. Stop criticizing her. It’s not like she has done a major crime or what. And to those people who say she PR, she has always been the way she is. She is straightforward and very forthcoming. Her character is a bit similar to Quan Yifeng kind, she just say what she thinks and feels. Don’t say she PR because that is not PR. PR means will por people, will be especially nice to people just to get into their good books. Zoe is definitely not that kind.
and I am sure those anti-Zoe people will come and say that I am a Zoe fan who over-rates her and tries to protect her etc. but I am really not! Paul, I just cannot take it. I always come to your blog and read. When comments got Zoe, these anti vicious people will just come out and hit her for nothing. How can u let them do that? Her comments are always the worst lor. I dun see other people being shoot until so jialat. Until she is not worth it. I just saw a few of her old episodes, and I think she is deserving of her current status in mediacorp. Definitely.

I would definitely want to see Huang Biren make a comeback!!! Really really really miss her dramas! I dare say Biren’s the best and most versatile actress in S’pore!
She can take on almost any role! From a Low IQ woman who suffers constant bullying to an incorrigible gambler, from young act to old, murderer, psychologist, lawyer, police detective, housewife, career woman, crazy woman… etc!
She’s pregnant with her 3rd child now, but I do hope she comes back after that… Maybe end of next year or 2011. So please get Huang Biren back!!!
Other stars I hope to see: Ann Kok, Aileen Tan, Kym Ng, Paige Chua.

to alicia i agree with your 2nd last statement-where joanne peh and felicia chin are overated and their acting are also soso. but i dont really like jeanette aw, dont know why but i dont hate her. i think out of the 7 princesses the ones who have the least chance is jesseca liu and rui en. they should be given more chances to shine. mediacorp should let them shine and stop grooming joanne peh and felicia chin. but out of jesseca and rui en, i think jesseca has the least chance out of the 7p. rui en sings more than acts. but jess doesnt sing and she is given so little chance. we already had enough of jeanette aw(THN & publicisty), felicia chin and joanne peh so we should she some of jess nad rui en.

I think Jeanette have long ago improve already. She had been taking speech classes and we as the audience could really see her improving by leaps and bounds. TLN really shows us her change. You should have seen it already. And people just like to harp on that problem as if its very serious. But its all history. She have improve. Do watch her new drama, together. Pronunciation have no longer been her problem already.
Its past, so can you guys stop bringing back the past? Its not happening already, so why do you guys still wanna harp and emphasize on it just to pull her down?
I disagree with u, JS. Since she have already improved, I dont see the need for anybody to continue commenting on it.

i do not understand why someone is asking others to keep their comments in their pocket… i thought we are all giving our own feedback and comment with our own preference to Paul. if one can only accept positive comments and not negative ones, how is one going to improve. A may prefer XXX, B prefer YYY and C prefer ZZZ. liking a particular star doesnt mean the whole world must like that star too. everyone has their own preferences. even the heavenly king or queen jackie cheung or a-mei, though they are very popular stars, there are people who like them and also people who dislike them. this is reality, you cant please the whole world. Not liking jeannette doesnt means that person is jealous of her popularity and beauty. there are people who dont like joanne peh and felicia chin too, but do i see their fans there saying people are jealous of their beauty or popularity? why should anyone be jealous? there are a lot of beautiful and popular stars around the world too. get a life. the whole world doesnt exists because of just one star. its not just one person but more than one who says jeanette’s problem is her pronunciation/speech, and these people have nothing against her, but just hope she will improve on that aspect. like i say this is just a platform to voice out our opinion, why be so serious

3 drama genre:
1) idol drama – mediacorp seldom produce their own idol drama
2) historical drama – maybe a drama featuring the life of LKY and their struggles during the 1960s? instead of always on WW2. a drama that features our very own singapore history
3) Fantasy – defintely! seldom get to see this kind of drama!
Leading Stars
As for Idol drama, get new faces! no need to be from star search, a good choice will be from those in Campus Belle and Beau. No need to have really good acting skills but must be really cute or good looking! The taiwanese idol actors and actresses all started out as being a vase in an idol drama and look at how successful are they now!
so, lesson learnt is no need to have what 7 princess and so on.. people will get sick of it, just get new faces and let them act naturally, you may not know who will be the next ah ge or ah jie just from this.
As for other dramas for the next 3 years, i’m hoping to see more of
Dai Yang Tian – Promising
1) Rui En (definitely!) – you’ll never get sick of seeing her on screen
2) Jesseca Liu – another one who can carry off her roles really well and natural.
3) Ann Kok – The real talent
4) Cynthia Koh – Another actress with real potential in acting
5) Michelle Xie – Refrigerated for too long?
6) Apple Hong – more challenging roles!
7) Koh Ya Hwee – not the next FC please!
9) Zhang Yao Dong – Hot!
10) Zhang Zhen Huan – The next big thing!
Enough of Jeanette Aw and Felicia Chin…

u are rebutting at the one who say jeanette over exposed. then pls just target that person. dun pull other princesses in saying their acting skill are soso. everyone has their own likes and dislikes. if u say FC acting skill is lousy. then i bet u did not watch the golden path. i believe she can shine if given a good role.
and to all those bo liao ppl:
for goodness sake, this is a discussion forum for u all to say who u all want to be the leading stars. just say who u prefer to be on the tv and stop putting down the rest. really sick of all these people that come here to stir trouble-_-
PS: i am only refering to those who said those nasty stuffs about the actors/actresses. if u did not then i am not saying you. so if u are offended by what i say, i am sorry. this just means u are guilty of that(:

Social Drama – With a STRONG meaning/message.
E.g. 不凡的爱 (educate HIV), 书包太重 (Kid capabilities)
Police/Investigative Drama – I like 破茧而出 because this show will keep me in suspense and very look forward to watch such show. Where u never expect what’s happening next.
Idol Drama: E.g. What happen ? Suddenly it’s mean missing. Looking fwd to drama like “Ai qing ling du C” and ” Ming Zhong Zhu Ding Wo Ai Ni”

The 10 Leading Stars I want to see for the next 3 years:
Fann Wong – An irritated, hot-tempered naggy H.D.B wife to a good for nothing hen-pecked husband (Calvin Soh).
Jeanette Aw – A nurse to an elderly sick dying man. Then inherited his vast fortune after his death to the disgrunt of his son. (Chen Tai Ming, Huang Wen Yong)
Chen Li Ping – Protrays as the 1st wife living under the same roof with a younger second wife (Eleyn Kok). Endless squabbles from wives to children.
Zoe Tay – Protrays as a sua-ku Malaysian came to Singapore to work as a factory worker & later got involved with her supervisor, a married man (Hui Ge). Remember the (Kallang murder-case) . Then Zoe got CHOPPED into pieces by her ugly lover when she threatened to reveal their affair to his wife (Hong Hui Fang).
Xiang Yun as a sexy loud mouthed mamasan taking care of her young chicks (Dawn Yeoh, Ezzan Lee, Paige Chua, Fiona Xie). Then her rival mamasan (Hong Hui Fang) got jealous of her. There should be many cat-fights.
Qi Yuwu as a rich notorious playboy always involved with women, gang fights & drugs. Later got AIDS. The only person that stands by him is his father’s nurse (Yvonne Lim).

I like dramas like Heart Of Greed. Long dramas are great too, if they are as good as Holland V or Portrait or Home. However, the cast of the long dramas must be appealing and the plot has to be a great one – not a lousy one like Love Blossoms which is so sketchy and badly put together.
Anyway, I’m fine with the other genres of dramas. (:
I love period dramas though. TLN rocks!
Anyway here are my top 10 stars:
1. Jeanette Aw!!!!!
The single actress that made me start watching mediacorp shows. I used to not like watching mediacorp productions, but it was because of Holland V and jeanette aw making me like her so much in the show that I started following her in every show she acts in – which introduced me into the local drama scene. She is a must have in any year, as she has the X factor, acting capabilities and I feel that she is the most pretty out of all the 7 princesses. Furthermore, she is the most likely new ah jie given her hot popularity status. Her acting just keeps improving and getting better as well!
I believe jeanette aw is not only a star who will rule Singapore’s local media scene in time to come, but she is also capable of being an A-lister overseas, just like fann wong, if given the right opportunities.
2. Felicia Chin
I’ve always liked felicia since her “mei ren yu” role in Portrait of Home. That’s the single show that transformed her into the popular princess she is today. Having said that, I hope MDC gives her more of such roles as she really suits them.
Her acting in Huang Jin Lu is her best too. Such roles suit her too. And Baby bonus roles also suit her.
But please don’t get her to act as a tomboy any more.. I thought her acting fell flat in TU.
Being a pretty and pleasant face to watch, felicia is a must have on TV. =)
3. 715
I really really like his acting, and he is one of the better looking MDC male stars as well. He should be casted alongside with jeanette aw, they are my favourite on-screen partners.
4. Elvin Ng
I think given the right opportunities, he will shine. Pair him up alongside with Rui En, he seems to act really well if she is his partner.
5. Joshua Ang
He is a potential next ah ge. Given that MDC lacks good male actors, he is one that MDC should groom properly.
6. Julian Hee
I feel that he isn’t given enough opportunities to shine as an actor. He has huge potential that isn’t tapped on yet.
7. Joanne Peh
She is an actress whose acting has improved tremendously since the start.
I don’t really care much about the other actors/actresses.
But to be honest, any show with jeanette aw draws me in. So my main choice for important leading star for the next 3years goes to JEANETTE AW =)

YES!!!
Paul, I thought of it!!!
We can have a social drama about homosexuals in Singapore!!! The struggles they go through, the pain they suffer, the isolation they feel.. That will soooo cool!!!
I’d like to see Terence Cao paired up with Tay Ping Hui. They will make a good couple. Ping Hui play the masculine, macho type, while Terence play his scholarly type. And then Thomas Ong, Ping Hui’s all flame, come back from HK. He want to get Ping Hui back and threaten Terence if he don’t get Ping Hui back, he will tell Terence’s entire family (Terence from a rich family, he been spending half his life in the US where he got to know Ping Hui, and just came back not long ago because his father’s health was weak and his siblings were too concerned about the property. His mother had asked him to come back because he was the one whom his father trusted the most). Terence had no choice but to break up with Ping Hui because once his family know, his mecenary siblings will cast him out of the house and most importantly, his father will die. He then went to get a girlfriend (Apple Hong) just so to pretend that his life is normal etc. But he was never intimate with her, but she thought it was very gentlemanly of him given the current generation and wanted to marry him. Terence then took over the family business according to his father’s will, and brought the business to greater heights. He did marry Apple in the end, but they were unhappy from the lack of a sex life between them.
Ping Hui, after the break-up, was very devastated. He went back to Thomas. However, Thomas wanted Ping Hui to become a social escort for men. He told Ping Hui that his social escort business was doing well in HK but not at all well in Singapore, and he needed someone like Ping Hui to help out. Ping Hui finally agreed, out of confusion and depression. Other than being a social escort of coz, Ping Hui also slept with all his escorts, just to numb his feelings of depression. In the end, he contracted AIDS. Thomas dumped him immediately, and decided to blackmail Terence one last time. Terence gave him the money and went over to see Ping Hui, only to see Ping Hui in an almost dying state. Terence held on to Ping Hui and cried, and swore to him that he will bring him back to the US where they will enjoy the last of his life together with him.

Fann Wong, an irritated, hot-tempered naggy H.D.B wife to a good for nothing hen-pecked husband (Calvin Soh).
Jeanette Aw, a nurse to an elderly sick dying man. Then inherited his vast fortune after his death to the disgrunt of his son. (Chen Tai Ming, Huang Wen Yong)
Chen Li Ping protrays as the 1st wife living under the same roof with a younger second wife (Eleyn Kok). Endless squabbles from wives to children.
Zoe Tay protrays as a sua-ku Malaysian came to Singapore to work as a factory worker & later got involved with her supervisor, a married man (Hui Ge). Remember the (Kallang murder-case) . Then Zoe got CHOPPED into pieces by her ugly lover when she threatened to reveal their affair to his wife (Hong Hui Fang).
Xiang Yun as a sexy loud mouthed mamasan taking care of her young chicks (Dawn Yeoh, Ezzan Lee, Paige Chua, Fiona Xie). Then her rival mamasan (Hong Hui Fang) got jealous of her. There should be many cat-fights.
Qi Yuwu as a rich notorious playboy always involved with women, gang fights & drugs. Later got AIDS. The only person that stands by him is his father’s nurse (Yvonne Lim).
Tay Ping Hui as a gruffy looking taxi-driver. A single trying to look for a wife.
Wang Yu Qing a toilet cleaner but life changes when he strikes TOTO 1st prize. Then all the long lost relatives & forgotten friends start looking for him.
Christopher Lee as a filial son torn between mother (Lin Yin Zhu) & stubborn wife (Cynthia Koh).

Like:
1 – Ivy Lee is classic. She will be a good mentor to all the new actresses. Humble, modest and the Best Actress in the entire MCS.
2 – Jeanette Aw is also another one. The graduating princess (to Queen-dom). Needs to work on her pronunciation though.
3 – Rui En is a third one, but we need to convince her to not restrict her roles. No passionate scenes?! This era, how not to?!
4 – Cynthia Koh is fantastic too. Maybe it is her time to shine now? She has been so hardworking – let her SHINE now!!
5 – Zoe Tay is another one! I believe she still has it in her to deliver! I didn’t like her when I was younger but these two years she really convinced me that finally she could act.
Dislike:
1 – Felicia Chin. Already give her chances yet her acting is so-so only. Sometimes terrible. Plus her person so fake. Let her leave the screen for a while so that people can forget about her first. Den she can start afresh.
2 – Joanne Peh. Yucks. She is another fake one. Definitely the most undeserving Best Actress. Made me wonder about Star Award’s credibility. Stop grooming her, you’re just wasting your time and effort. The public still doesn’t like her.
3 – Fann Wong. She botox her face until it is so unnatural. Let her go and have some babies, then maybe she will realize that botox is not good for health, natural beauty is better.
4 – Eelyn Kok. She is so plain in terms of both looks and acting. How she got the leading role for Together is a total mystery. Well, maybe her PR skills are good.
5 – Michelle Chia. Please do not let her act anymore. She acts as though she is hosting. And her hosting is already very one-dimensional. Please don’t let her bring her one-dimensional hosting into dramas.

i wish to see some sports drama and period dramas.
Actually, period dramas need not always reflect on our history. For example, 福满人间is a very fine example. I miss watching 出路，客家之歌，和平的代价and小娘惹. 这些剧种往往都是获得最多回响和收视率的剧集。
I think we can also have something like Polo Boys on channel 8.
We can have a drama that just relates about the lives of soldiers in BMT. The cast will make up of Zzen, Elvin, Nat, Dai Yang Tian, Chen Jiong Jiang, Adam Chen and more.
戴阳天可试演一个刚获得公民的中国人，而由于语言和环境背景的不同，其他人开始欺负起了他。结果，Elvin挺身而出帮助了他。
Adam可以试演一个面恶心善的regular. 除此之外，我们还可找来几个公主来试演这些人的女朋友。

Alan Tern (Same as his wife. He needs more chances as well.)
2) Elvin Ng (I think he just needs more chance, and maybe improves more on his speech.)
3) Pierre Png (He’s a good actor, even though chn8 might not be the best platform for him. He’s shown that he indeed improved alot.)
4) Qi Yu Wu (Needless to say.)
5) Christopher Lee (Needless to say too.)
6) Priscelia Chan (She’s a hidden gem. Given time, she can do it too.)
7) Carole Lin (One good actress.)
9) Jerry Yeo (One of the better youngsters in MDC. Evil roles are not suitable for him.)
10) Pan Ling Ling (A pretty lady who can act. Where are the chances?)

Msia co-production is getting improved, eg the current drama in 7pm, i think it is worth to watch.
Rui En seems to be the hottest name in the tabulation, because she can play the role well, not over-act. Same to Jesseca, but she seems to be lack of luck to grab any breakthrough role.

Family
Profession based
if mediacorp can produce something like HK’s 烈火雄心,妙手仁心,EU,仁心解码etc quality kinda profession based dramas it would b fantastic. we cant get the same actors/artistes but at least the script muz b good. so far, the only profession based i think is good is Perfect Cut.
these r those that i personally think really CAN act WELL and i hope to see these faces on the tv screen more often especially thomas ong. i think such good actors/actresses are needed for every show to be able to complement a good script.
1. Thomas Ong
2. Tay Ping Hui
3. Li Nanxing
4. Chen Liping
5. Jacelyn Tay
actually when i watch a drama, the first thing i will look for is story is engaging, 2nd will b actors/actress whom i feel can act well and those i like watching. so far i never fail to watch shows starring the above-mentioned actors/actresses. too bad they are those that seldom or hardly act nowadays except for TPH, which is a real pity.
as for the younger generation actors/actresses, i would think Joanne Peh and Felicia Chin is ok, improving at least.
just some additional feedback, Paul, IN MY OPINION, elvin ng cant act and he really should get some proper speech lessons. jeanette au’s problem is her way of talking as well, no doubt she is pretty and popular, but i think she talks like she is memorising and thus i think she sounds not natural.. when she act, i can see she is literally acting. dai yang tian only have good looks but cant act either. no offense to elvin, jeanette and dai yang tian’s fans i know u all are going to curse me for that, but this is only my PERSONAL OPINION. in fact i think the 7 princesses’ problem are their articulation, so it makes them very unnatural.

3 Genres I Want to See:
1. Profession-based
2. Romance
3. Social Dramas
Why I like such genres:
Professional dramas: Introduced to ‘behind the scenes’ of professions which we never know about, etc.
Romance dramas: Every girl is just waiting to be swept away by her Prince Charming! (I want to be mesmerised by DYT!!)
Social dramas: able to relate to it since it portrays everyday life and experiences.

3 Genres I Want to See:
1. Fantasy Drama
2. Family Drama
3. Social Drama (immigration related maybe? hahas!)
Why I like such genres:
Having Family and social dramas as part of our programme routine is beneficial to Singapore’s society. Family dramas are there to aid in enhancing relationships between family members, sometimes implicit topics like unwanted pregnancy is touched on and it is rather relevant to our society. Some people are unsure of what to do when they encounter such problems, these dramas sort of provide an indirect guideline to them in a sense.
Social dramas are usually very relevant to our local social issues, hence they can change or enhance Singaporeans’ perspective on certain social issues. Singapore, being a high context society, where most things are rather implicit, these dramas serve as a platform to display public opinion. Therefore, both social and family dramas are nice to watch as they are usually very close to our hearts.
Lastly, fantasy dramas, to me, is more for entertainment and escapes from reality.
I was quite impressed with 凡间新鲜人’s story plot, it’s fresh and cute, a good source for entertainment.
The Leading Stars I wanna see in the next 3 years:
1. Rui En

Please produce more period & historical drama. Little Nyonya, 出路, 和平的代价 are one of the very good ones. I really missed those days when we had such great dramas.
In fact, Holland V (始祖 of 长寿剧) is best among all!! Other than that, the rest are boring and not as nice as Holland V. Probably it’s the cast that brings out the plot. So, casts are very important.
Nowadays, the dramas we had are mostly 大同小异.

哇哈！读过了以上这么多评论，我才惊觉原来新加坡有那么多拥有潜质可以成为编剧人材的观众，那新川媒不怕闹剧本荒了！哈哈哈！不过有一位提议拍“倚天屠龙记”！演员名单也拟好了，看来不错不妨一试！有过拍“神雕侠侣”的经验没理由不拍“倚天屠龙记”吧？
其实我倒是有个提议：可以尝试拍科幻＋动作＋爱情＋时空交错的剧集；又或者拍“不来的传说”续集，故事背景是在未来，剧中最重要的反派僵尸王就由黄俊雄来演，大家认为好吗？
无论如何，我都还是希望在接下来的三年里拍摄的剧集会有欧萱，瑞恩，刘芷绚，戚玉武，戴阳天，黄俊雄的参予，当然还有郑各评，向云，李茵珠，朱厚任等人. . . . . .

I think I dun mind watching Zoe Tay. But please let her act in suitable roles! I mean I don’t think she minds acting as mothers to the young stars like Dai Yang Tian or even Elvin Ng (actually can just make her look a little older and she can really be Elvin’s mother – they both look quite similar!). Acting as mothers to these newer stars doesn’t necessarily mean that she is not the lead. She can still be the lead. Look at Heart of Greed for example, the mother (Louise Lee is it? I don’t know her English name) was the lead (she was won Best Actress in a Leading Role)! We can have something like that!
I would like to see Zoe act as Elvin’s mother. He can act as someone with an IQ that is slightly lower than others. That will be quite a challenge and he might be able to excel in it! Zoe can act as someone who was rebellious and wild in her young days, resulting in her giving birth to Elvin. She had to endure her stepmother’s (Li Yin Zhu) taunting and when she could not take it anymore, she left the household. Aileen, Zoe’s sister tries to help her, but her husband Zheng Geping and children – Joshua and Koh Yah Hwee – are unsupportive and bully Elvin as well. Zoe then rents a place to stay with Elvin, and just when she was beginning to settle down, Elvin gets accused of a rape crime and she has to do all she can to help him get acquitted. Rui En, a passionate lawyer, steps in to help Zoe after the latter approaches an unscrupulous lawyer played by Yao Wenlong, and finally Elvin is acquitted.

Dramas:
1) Social (Really like 不凡的爱 kind of show. Educates and entertains)
2) Investigative (Think we need more of such show!)
3) Idol (Mdc shd try such shows. The previous ones…. aint really memorable though)
Stars:
Jerry Yeo (I think he can act well. Needs more roles!)
1) Nat Ho (I think Nat has really a lot of potential, and he should be given MORE and DIFFERENT type of roles for him to show his talent. I think he can portray other roles well too, and not just the stereotyped NS boy.)
2) Felicia Chin (Hooked onto the current Baby Bonus show. Her show is really entertaining!)
3) Desmond Tan (Newbie in this line but has the flair. Needs to be given more roles too.)
4) Rui En (Loves her show. Has got a different feel.)
5) Jesseca (Hasn’t been given alot of new roles lately. But i like her previous shows)
6) Dai Yang Tian
7) Elvin Ng
9) Joanne Peh
10) Tay Ping Hui

Drama genre I like:
Melodrama with a tint of social aspect (e.g. working relationship, survival and success in the corporate world) – must be inspiring and help build a positive mindset.
Leading Stars for next 3 years:
Jeanette Aw
Felicia Chin
Ng Hui
Priscelia Chan
Rebecca Lim
Ezanne Lee
Kola Zhou
Ivy Lee
Koh Ya Hwee / Paige
Kym Ng
Xiang Yun (Like Li Si Qi’s role)

Nick Shen
Julian Hee
Zhang Yao Dong
Nat Ho
Pornsak / Li Peng / Guo Liang
(Any chance Vincent Ng and Xie Shao Guang coming back???)
No more leading roles for the two mediocre Malaysian actresses Jesseca Liu and Eelyn Kok. They were given too many opportunities, but are simply incredible to always turning their leading roles into supporting roles.
Can see that MDC is recently trying to promote Jesseca aggressively, but she just doesn’t have the star quality to attract publicity (Nobody cares much even when she constantly talks about her ex and goes for the plastic look, unlike Felicia, Jeanette and Joanne who command attention and evoke jealousy.) She was also very unprofessional to ignore “repeated prompting from Tay Ping Hui to shift to the center” during Baby Bonus press conference. Why does MDC want to groom a mediocre foreigner like her? Should grant her her wish to balek Langkawi to make her contributions there.
No more leading roles for Pierre Png if he does not make great improvements in ‘Your Hands’. Enough is enough. Give the opportunities to our local talents please.

Was watching rising expectations the other day, I realise the plot is very well written, all the scheme and evil plan… NICE… hope to see more of this type of drama.
Of course, the cast must be good, like Zoe, Fann, Chen Liping, Chan Hanwei, Li NanXing, Tay Ping Hui. We need experienced actresses and actors to bring out the plot.
BUT no Terence Cao pls, he has been playing the same roles over and over again and has regressed instead of improve and progressed in his performance. Kind of a drag to see him in Baby Bonus, which otherwise is quite a refreshing drama(he was good in Stepping Out, but not now), especially scenes with Xiang Yun and Felicia
All the newbies and princesses/princes can play secondary roles. We want to see GOOD acting, with some depth and not just some superficial expressions.

sorry but i think u are being very immature here. true enough, Rui en is a very good actress. but pls dun being so biased as quoted from u -[she is not like others princess that like to show of and act big when they are famous]. No one can determine who is fake and who is real. unless there is something like a detector in which we as AUDIENCES( i emphasize on this as most of us dun even know them personally) can detect it.
as for the 7 princesses webbie, sure enough, she is very popular as she is always winning the poll. But u cant put them on the same level as the other princesses, she debuted as a singer and has gained much more popularity before the other princesses actually make their debute. Therefore, she has more overseas fans as compared to the rest. But so what? that doesnt makes the other princesses not popular. Popularity also is not a measurement of how good one acting skill is right? Like ivy lee and huang bi ren who is always winning best actress. they sure does have the skills but do not have the popularity like fann wong has right? so pls think before u talk. and do not turn this forum into one insulting the other princesses. thank you!

(Paul: But Rui En doesn’t want to do passionate scenes…like that how to be versatile…I think she is good but she set limitations for herself…sigh)
(Paul: I also like her…if she is willing to do passionate scenes…she wouldn’t be so limited in her roles today lor…)
Paul.. I agree with you. She wouldn’t be so limited in her roles had she been agreeable to passionate scenes like the others. But then again, it wouldn’t be Rui En anymore. There are artistes who are oh-so-capable of passionate scenes, but beyond that?
Audience knows Rui En is who she insists herself to be, even if she would to take up such scenes, are you sure we can accept it?
She may not do long passionate kisses that seems capable of allowing time to standstill for love, but sometimes, that gentle peck on the cheeks comes so rare that its “diabetically” sweet. And she does do kisses on the cheeks.
(Trivia: Despite so many people liking the Rui En-Elvin pairing, did you know that Rui En has never ever kissed Elvin on screen, not even his cheeks)
It is heartening to see Rui En’s name suggested by so many and to read praises and acknowledgements to her acting. But the irony remains that Rui En has NEVER been nominated for any acting category awards in Star Awards. Sad ah?
Actually Paul, I’m not sure if you have noticed, people who suggests Rui En are usually the ones who prefer Police/investigative and profession-based dramas. Versatility in such genres could be in the form of the roles, ranging from Police to criminals & drug addicts, Prosecuting & defending lawyers to defendant & accused, Doctors to patients, Pilots to stewards, Firefighters to paramedics, Successful businessman to bankrupts etc.
There’s a lot more in the acting of RE to stretch beside passionate/intimate scenes, I have faith in the creativeness of the production department and the judgement of the casting department to give RE such worthy roles. I’m sure other RE’s fans share this same faith, and we are waiting, always waiting.

Passionate means having or expressing strong emotions. RUI EN can do passionate scenes. Intimate scenes and kissing and rape scenes, however, she rejects. So, she can definitely take up a intellectual-disabled role. If there is one and she is offered it.

Yeahs.. Rui En is a versatile actress whom all should appreciate and give more opportunities to uncover her potential. I may not be her fan but i definitely do admire her. From her debut, she may seem ordinary but there is something that catches our attention. And like wad Zoe Tay had said: We have to admit that Rui En does leave an impression in all of us, whether big or small.
And i would like to see her acting in a breakthrough role. Breakthrough doesn’t mean it has to be strip tease etc. But something that will leave an impact on all. And i was thinking why not Rui En acting as an intellectual-disabled girl/woman who has to struggle throughout her life. I think it will be really interesting to see Rui En taking up such role. like her body actions..
And other artistes whom i wud like to c are Pierre Png, Paige Chua, Elvin Ng
(Paul: But Rui En doesn’t want to do passionate scenes…like that how to be versatile…I think she is good but she set limitations for herself…sigh)

stars like rui en, yvonne lim, chen han wei and terrence cao should be casted more often since their acting deserves TWO THUMBS UP!:)
knowing that any of them is in a certain show just keeps me anticipated for it:D

3 genres I want to see: Idol Drama, Historical Drama, Period Drama
Examples: 星锁, 出路, 小娘惹 respectively
Why I like such genres: Idol dramas can probably be filmed based on their own personalities and will therefore, allow us to know the actors/actresses better. Historical and Period dramas can allow us to know more about the past and also, can let the stars try out different roles
Leading Stars:
1. Jeanette Aw!!
2. Qi Yu Wu
3. Fann Wong
4. Christopher Lee
5. Rui En
6. Elvin Ng
7. Dai Yang Tian
8. Ann Kok

3 Genres I Want to See & the reasons
(1) Idol Drama:
tink Korean, taiwan dramas – give the female lead a very very likeable character (think chen qiaoen, yang chenlin) , see how she survives against all odds to be with the handsome and rich male lead.Must hv the formula of 1 bad woman fighting w her for male lead and 1 side male lead who is the most romantic and nicest man, but stil doent get her heart. Hv an engaging storyline so the audience will smile and cry with the female lead
*pls try and use new blood for the actors pipeline, and not older leading actresses, cos the magic is lost then when they the seasoned ones still try act innocent
(2) Period Drama:
haven’t seen this from Mediacorp for a nong nong time. Will be refreshing to hv a comedy in the form of period drama, like the past 金牌师爷。
(3) Melodrama:
hv a rich story plot tat involves a lot of 甘草actors, though the show still has to be fronted by the current leading actors/ actresses. The solid acting skills of the seasoned actors/ tresses will lend much weight to the heightened emotions that is critical in such shows. Have surprises and twists in the drama, to make audiences pin for the show at the end of each episode.
The Leading Stars You Want to See for the Next 3 Years:
(1) Jesseca Liu
(2) Priselia Chan
(3) Shaun Chen
(4) Lin Xiangping
(5) Elvin Ng

1. Thriller/Sci-Fi
2. Police/Investigative Drama
Reasons for above 2: There’s suspense, excitement and I like to analyze as the plot progresses.
3. Paranormal: It’d be interesting to see how MDC can come up with good productions involving this theme. Moreover, it has been a long time since we had this sorta dramas locally.
Just a thought: Actually some themes can be merged leh. Eg. Period + Paranormal (there we have it! A Chinese Ghost Story…Hahaha)
I really don’t mind doses of romance on our local screens too…yep.

If the suggestion is seriously taken consideration by the EPs, then forget about star search as no one want to join as they must wait till 30 years old or older to play lead roles and the new comers might as well quit.
Any way I still trust the EPs than the minority feedback. For eg. JA was chosen to play the leading lady in TLN despite criticism from net-citizens and press and the EP said that she make the right choice.

my choice is :
1)RUI EN
I can say that she is the best actresses in the shows of mediacorp and she is not like others princess that like to show of and act big when they are famous !!!she is also very talented and pretty she acted really well !!!! and why rui en everytime in star award did not get the best actresses but only get the most popular award
the ans : is that mediacorp is biased as they only give their real ”children” the award ….
and rui en get the award of the most popular award cus is voter by the viewers of the tv and this shows that she is very well recieved by the viewers of the mediacorp
but Honestly speaking mediacorp is really VERY BIASED she is the truely best actresses ,and not like the other 6 princess as they had ”big head illness”after they are famous just because they use their beauty and they are not talented at all !!!
i must say that i am not a fan of Jeanette Aw and joanne peh but to say the true is that the another evidence that mediacorp is BIASED is that last year Jeanette Aw
of the little nonya did not win the award but the award go to joanne peh instead justy because she is mediacorp ”children ” and Jeanette Aw is from hyperecords,the same thing happen to Rui en and that time was ”po jian er chu”..
you can’t denied that RUI EN really brought a lot of viewers to the mediacorp and the view of her shows was very high view for the tv , you know all my friend like from my school like rui en because of her personality that don’t act big when she is famous, and also she is talented !!!
i have read all the comments of the people who posts and counted out that rui en have the most votes ande that represents that everyone like her and regconised that she is really a talented actresses!!!!
SO mediacorp pls don’t be biased anymore give the non-mediacorp a chance lah ,rui en had worked hard but didn’t even get anything like a award of the next ”ah jie”….. but nevermind even if you don’t want but all the viewers know deep in their heart that RUI EN is the next ”ah jie”
you can go to http://7-princesses.blogspot.com/ and scroll down and look at the right hand corners and you will see poll and picture of Rui en as the Princess of the month and she win the most number of months ,and the poll is accurate as it cannot be spam and one poeple can only vote one time,as the other polls like the most popular princess that can be spam by pressing or clicking a lot of times and is NOT accurate …..
So Rui En is the most talented ,beautiful actresses i have seen in mediacorp shows!!!!!!!
(Paul: I also like her…if she is willing to do passionate scenes…she wouldn’t be so limited in her roles today lor…)

Historical/Period Drama (but more of the local type. like Price of Peace, Nyonya, Stepping Out. Not the Wuxia type)
Melodrama like 至尊红颜, 三十风雨路
Police/Thriller dramas with GOOD PLOT like metamorphosis
Idol Dramas? I think only if theres a combination of good looks and good acting which is unfortunately lacking in Singapore. =( all the ones who can act well are not suited for idol dramas and all those who look good cant act very well!!
Who?
1. Felicia, she still needs her big break like what JnJ got out of Nyonya. I think everybody knows she has the potential to do it! and Baby Bonus is looking very very good so far! Shes so irresponsible and annoying yet endearing in it
2. Pinghui. He’s very unlucky when it comes to castings even though he’s one of the best actors around no. The roles he gets are more 内心戏 kind, very hard to win awards esp since the judging involves watching short clips instead of the whole drama. I’d love to see him act as something extreme. Insane, disfigured, whatever
3. Zoe. She’s seriously underrated and underused recently! I think people need to STOP criticising her on how she looks old and whatever. Try having 2 kids, be 40 and look like her. 99.9% of people can’t do it! She needs a good character to let her 发挥 her powers!
4. Jeanette. Simple, she’s looking good both on screen and in acting =)
5. Christopher Lee
6. Rui En. She’s a great actress who was cheated of her well deserved nomination for Meta. Give her another cool policewoman role please!!! She looks SOOO good in it and her acting is damn good. Especially when her cold character drops just one single tear. All the emotion is there, and perfect
7. Jacelyn. Miss seeing her on TV
8. Cai Pei Xuan. She’s something refreshing. Silent, not very outstanding, but she will be extremely good some day.
9. HUANG BIREN (is it even possible?)
10. Qi Yuwu

3 Genres I want to see :
1. Historical Drama
2. Idol-drama
3. Family-drama
Why I like such genres :
1. Singapore needs more historical dramas to help save the other dramas which wasn’t that well done. Historical dramas were more popular in 90s, shouldn’t Mediacorp educate the current batch of young people so that they know how people used to suffer in the past? Should do more dramas about pre-independence and post-independence or set back in the 20s or 30s. These are the dramas that will make a significant impact in people’s lives.
2. We’ve not seen Made-in-Singapore idol dramas for a long period of time. Teenagers nowadays like Boys Over Flowers, You’re My Destiny, etc. Shouldn’t Singapore have its own idol drama too?
3. Family dramas is a very important genre and it must be included. As it revolves around our daily lives, family dramas will definitely attract both the young & young in heart. However, Singapore needs to take note that the themes should not revolve around housewives and babies etc. Following the successes of Heart and Greed & Moonlight Resonance, Singapore can have its own version of family drama following a certain theme. Eg. HOG (Abalone), MR (Mooncake). Family dramas are the one with many inspirational quotes and witty lines. C’mon, let the veterans have their chances to take on lead roles!

Wrote wrongly.
3 Genres I want to see :
1. Profession-based – Lawyers, police, doctors etc.
2. Thrillers/Sci-fi -镜中人, 谜图, 谜云二十天 were all good.
3. Melodrama – 至尊红颜 etc.
Why I like such genres :
1. Profession-based are interesting and can even inspire more people to work towards being a lawyer etc. The scenes of fighting in court, nabbing crooks and saving people are all very watchable scenes.
2. Thrillers/Sci-fi can keep people in suspense and let them wonder what might happen for the next episode and will keep people coming back for more.
3. Melodrama can show people how to handle problems in life etc. It can also show people how unpredictable life is.
Leading Stars :

I think you all should show more taiwan 偶像剧starring those that are very 爆红like chen qiao en , ruan jing tian e.g. . like how 命中注定我爱你 became so POPULAR in taiwan! and you should get them to come to singapore and do the roadshow of 命中注定我爱你, it will be so popular!
Anyways… back to the topic….
I would like to see more shows like the little nyonya , baby bonus , love concierge , 幸福双人床, but do film those shows that can relate to our everyday life and not so 乱 like the ultimatum. even though this show has the ah ge and ah jies it does not seem that exciting. as for baby bonus, i would try to finish my homework faster to catch every episode of it . but as for the ultimatum i don’t really feel like watching , i would rather watch channel u.
the stars…

A supplementary note to my previous post:
Actually, what would be best is an innovative drama that defies all attempts at classification. Mwahahaha.
Anyway, the most pertinent problem facing the local TV industry, I feel, is not identifying a winning genre, but rather, sourcing for competent scriptwriters who can deliver captivating works. We urgently need more ‘Ang Eng Tee’s around.
My two cents of thought.

I would like to see 新阿姐 Jeanette Aw pairing up with the original 阿姐 Zoe Tay. Jeanette already paired up with Fann and Xiang Yun, why not Zoe? That will be good. Zoe can act as Jeanette’s youngest aunt (age gap about 15 – Zoe 43, Jeanette 28). They can be involved in a family dispute, and either of them can act as the villian (or better still, both!). I think the show will be a HUGE hit. And we could get other actors to pair with them, i.e. Adrian Pang, Zheng Geping for Zoe, and Tay Ping Hui, Elvin Ng for Jeanette. A really successful melodrama!
And I think Zoe’s acting as housewife is not too bad – her performances have been really subtle and powerful in By My Side. I don’t mind more! Maybe can get her to act as an AIDS victim this time round? She can be this housewife who has a perfect husband and a perfect family, but such perfection led to boredom, and she went out for a little fun, only to contract the life-threatening disease. And Tay Ping Hui could act as her doting husband who was initially so upset that he almost had a breakdown – he lost his job as a high-ranking manager as a result, but overcame his grief and looked after her and their children till she died. It’d be a challenging role for them both!!
And I think can cast Tay Ping Hui in Idol drama also, although not as the lead. Idol drama should have Dawn Yeoh, Fiona Xie, Rebecca Lim and Teresa Tseng, together with Dai Yang Tian, Joshua Ang, Zzen Chen, Nat Ho & Elvin Ng. Supporting can include Lynn Poh, Tay Ping Hui, Ann Kok, Apple Hong, Yvonne Lim, Qi Yu Wu, Ng Hui etc.
Oh yes, and speaking of Ng Hui, I think she is very good as well. Can cast her in period drama (pre-war or war dramas)? Cast her together with Cynthia Koh, Jeanette Aw, Carole Lin, Hong Hui Fang, Zoe Tay, Zheng Geping, Zhang Yaodong, Rayson Tan, Elvin Ng, Tay Ping Hui, Huang Wenyong etc. These people all look very good in period dramas!

After reading the long posting by HONESTLY, I just can’t help wondering zoe fans really know how to camourflage by talking alot of seemingly good points but are actually nothing but praises for zoe. yawn, another begging for zoe.
How can zoe be compared to HK Liza Wang? How much community works did Liza Wang did for HK? Liza Wang is not called the ah jie just for her leading roles in dramas. She is called ah jie for her non-stop contributions & commitment to HK community, not just in the politics, but also in promoting Cantonese opera culture, she was among the top performers in concerts, singing arena, compere in big charity shows.
Liza Wang is also a well-known in places outside HK, not just the tiny HK.
What is zoe tay? She is only an over-rated actress in mediacorp. She did nothing else besides acting in only local dramas & perform in local charity shows like all other mediacorp artistes. She is only known in S’pore & JB.
What did zoe tay does? When a fellow colleague passed away, she didn’t even bother to attend the funeral wake, by giving all sorts of lame excuses. She thinks giving money is a big deal. Where is the compassion expected from a so-called ah jie? And it’s not like a everyday affair that a colleague passed on, that she can get immune to it. And when her colleagues got married, she chose to absent herself & again just give some money to call it done & deal with. Zoe is also only nice to people whom she can control or who pose no threat to her or who can speak up for her when need arises.
A ah jie must be magnanimous. Mustn’t be petty. Mustn’t absent herself when she’s expected to be present. Her career must must make her a recognise name & face not just in S’pore & JB. She must be able to represent S’pore in overseas showbiz event.
Zoe Tay doesn’t rise up to the occasions.
She can still be the big ah jie of mediacorp, only to those who can’t achieve more than her & those who love her.

plot – very rich family, diversified business
head of family – zhu houren, 2 wives – xiang yun and hong hui fang
eldest son – guo liang, wife – zoe tay
2nd son – calvin soh, wife – ann kok
3rd son – pierre png, wife – jeannette aw
youngest son – elvin ng girlfriends – dawn yeoh, rebecca lim
others – eelyn, dyt, aileen tan, cynthia, ivy lee, shaun chen, huang wen yong
1st lead – zoe tay, ann kok and jeannette. 2nd lead – eelyn, dawn yeoh
supporting – xiang yun, hong hui fang, aileen tan cynthia, ivy lee.
1st lead – guo liang, dyt, pierre png, elvin 2nd lead calvin zhu houren
supporting – shaun chen, huang wen yong
this is a multi million business running supermarkets and timber factories all over the world. the best son is pierre png, but jeannette is a very compassionate person and very much into charitable work, in the course of her work she ministered to millions of unfortunate children. zhu hou ren wants to hand over the business to pierre but calvin who is highly educated feels he is a better choice. ann is not materialistiic, she feels disillusioned with her husband’s greed. she got into an affair with a rich businessman, shaun chen. ann is constantly a mixture of guilt and upheaval. sometimes, she confides in jeannette who sees her predicament. zoe tay is the most scheming – she wants the empire. her sisters, ivy lee and cynthia koh help her in the business and tried to siffon money. guo liang is a womaniser. got attracted to post graduate student cum model eelyn, who has a boyfriend, dyt. although eelyn is older than dyt, but he loves her deeply. dyt is a rebellious person. eelyn was ultimately swayed by guo liang as he doped her and got her pregnant and offered to help with her financial problems. to wreak vengeance on guo liang, he tried to get into their family business. elvin’s girlfirends, dawn yeoh’s father, huang wen yong was xiang yun’s ex boyfriend. she suspected she is her child. she is there to find out, making use of elvin. but her adopted mother, aileen tan stopped her from doing it and upsetting elvin’s life. in the end, rebecca won elvin’s heart. (rebecca’s role will be quite small for a start because of her newness).

Wow, zoe fans really love her hor, helping her to beg mediacorp to give her jobs ah.
Pls don’t ever say zoe is versatile, for goodness sake lah. Can she act in periodic wuxia role? Can she act as a lawyer (remember seeing a video clip of her keep forgetting her lines in TU)? Can she act as a CEO of a MNC? Remember she said it’s a headache to memorise those business lingos?
Admit it, she isn’t versatile lah.
And if she’s versatile, gorgeous & has superb acting talent, her fans don’t have to beg mediacorp to give her jobs lor. Use your brains lah.
zoe is a good actress, that’s for sure, but don’t over-rate her as versatile,
the best actress & gorgeous, all in one breath, that’s would make you fans laughing stocks lor. Pls be moderate in your praises lah.
Just say zoe is a good actress, certainly pleasant looking & since she’s the #1 in mediacorp, then die die also must give her one drama to act in mah,
why talk so much about how gorgeous, how versatile, how superb her acting is?
zoe fans, no need to worry lah. mediacorp will surely TAILOR-make a drama that will let zoe boomz lah. wait for the 2nd half of 2010, ok.

Dramas: Historical, Period, Paranormal, Fantasy & thrillers.
Actors/Actresses:
1. Tay Ping Hui- Really like his role in “stepping out” as “Liu Mei”. So i like to see him in historical, period drama. And hope that he can finally get his best leading actor award. =D
2. Jesseca Liu- She needs some “breakthrough” roles. She definitely can act.
3. Fann Wong- How come lately never see her in any dramas except the ultimatum.
4. Zoe Tay- Like to see her in more roles like the ultimatum.
5. Paige- Know that she’s new.. but she needs some chances.
6. Chen Han Wei- He’s not the best leading actor for nothing!! Haha.
7. Chris Lee- He’s good to look at. Haha.
8. Joanne Peh – Just to make up the numbers. =P

My friends and I miss watching police/investigation dramas – including tvb ones. Lately, it’s always been mega block-buster dramas all over which spend a lot on the casting and props but with relatively weak storylines. Sometimes, low budget dramas can turn out to be gems too as long as the story attracts the viewers e.g. TVB’s rosy business. That said, we also miss watching Ivy Lee, Jaclyn Tay and the two ah-jies (just please don’t put them together in a drama ever again)

The 3 Genres I want to see are:
1. Melodrama: Plots include failed romance, tragedy and emotional & physical hardship. Preferably in 1950′s. Eg. A couple in love but somehow lost in contact or parents’ disapprove. Then years later the girlfriend married into the family but the groom isn’t him, is his brother.
Preferred Actress: Fann Wong
Preferred Actor:Thomas Ong
2. Family Drama: Plots include mother-in-law & daughters-in-law, the everyday problem Singaporeans always face like finances, old-age & siblings squabble. Family dranma should be about the middle-class & not the rich. Hopefully not like “Ultimatum”. It’s difficult to believe rich people in S’pore sqirl their wine glasses in their living room after work.
Preferred Actress: Fann Wong, Xiang Yun, Lin Yi Zhu, Hong Hui Fang, Chen Li Ping
Preferred Actor: Zhu Hou Ren, Tay Ping Hui, Brandon Wong, Richard Low
3. Historial Drama: Think of something new but not wars. Maybe natural disaters.
Preferred Actress: Cynthia Koh, Ann Kok
Preferred Actor: Christopher Lee, Rayson Tan

Actually, it doesn’t matter what drama genres it is….
the most important thing is the storry line….
it’s all depend on how the producer or story writer creat a good drama…
especially how to make a climate story that really catch the audience’s eyes…
A climate/dramatic storyline is the one that people(audiences) would DEFINITELY want to see….in WHATEVER drama genres!!!
I can tell that MDC got a lot of excellent actors…maybe some are not versatile enough…but they still can perform well in some character that really suitable for them….
It doesn’t matter how long acting experience the actor has ( maybe it matter, but definitely not the point),as I said, as long as the script/story is good or climate enough, people would like the drama anyway……then people would like the character as well……either good or bad guy in the drama.
Sometimes i just feel pity for those actors in MDC….
Here are two situations:
1)Some actors got the look/appearance that what producer is looking for to fit in the character…that’s definitely a good way to start…the appearance of the actor is how audience think about the character in the show. However, maybe they are really not experienced in acting, so then it is how important of the story writer to create and form a storyline of the character for him/her based on his/her so-so acting skills,and how the character be showed in a best way on the screen ( task of producer or photographer etc)
I’m gonna take the Taiwan Idol Drama as the example….
most of them are new actor, some even with none experience in acting.
But a good storyline (Romance, Hilarious or funny) and nice shooting skills that really let the inexperienced actor SHINE on the screen…
Those Idol then successfully bring out the soul of the character, not because their acting skill ( maybe a little), but more importantly is how successful the story writer and producer bring out the character vividly and lively on the screen.
2) The second situation is that there are a lot of experienced actor seem just wasting their time waiting for a good character.They have the acting skill, it is just depend how the producer or the story writer to bring it out….
For example the previous mid-year blockbuster TU, MDC got the precious chance to gather all the experienced star in a drame, as Zoe, Fann, NanXing and TPH….and some new actors as well……
What A Incredible casting!!!!
but the story line su*k….and the producer failure to create a suitable character for each of them and also unable to bring out the characters vividly in the show….
WHAT a WASTE!…..What a Pity~
MDC must learn from HongKong for sure….The casting of The Ultimum is pretty close like the casting of 家好月圓 or Hear of Greed…..These two drama gather a lot of experienced actor and some newly star ( three generations of actors). But see how 家好月圓 had such a good and climatic story line….how the drama is performed in such dramatic….how audience can’t even without watching every single episodes…..
It is the product on how the actors,story writer and producer work so well together……by contrast, TU only got a bunch of good actors…that’s all~
Sorry for expressing so much….but honestly…that’s true.
I will answer your questions as well:
Drama genres peole and I like and WHY:
Teenagers like Idol drama or Paranormal…
OldFolks like family/social drama or historical/period drama
some people like police/proffesional-based drama as well…..
Based on how MDC have produced the drama like police/proffesional-based and Idol drama etc in the past, I would suggest that it better for MDC to stop producing them until MDC really learn something from HongKong and Taiwan.As we know,
HongKong produce the best police drama.
Taiwan produce the best Idol/Romance drama.
However, MDC did well in the historical/period drama….maybe those kind of drama have such special and climate storyline that can easily interest the audience….
I am expecting MDC to produce a family/social drama like 家好月圓 or Heart of Greed as well…..
Because most of time we can only gain the laugh time from those family drama by MDC…not much are the kind like combine climate and relax story together….and at the same time we also learn a lot from the DEPTH Dialogue…家好月圓 is such a good example!
We’re looking forward to watching a drama like this, produced my MDC….
and don’t forget…MDC got good actors and as well as the HongKong actors!
I am still looking for another season coming of 双天至尊(unbeatables shuang tian zhi zun)….LOL
I think this probably is one of the modern drama that MDC did it excellent good….
I’m pretty sure that most of the audience agree with that…..
it show how computer effect work well in the drama….and a little gambling in every episode is already climate enough to catch the eyes….maybe it is why people like it…..people like CLIMATE and DRAMTIC story!!!!!!
me either~
The 4 stars I want to see most:
Zoe Tay Jeanette Aw
Li NanXing 715
Each entertainment circle has its own KING or QUEEN/PRINCE or PRINCESS…
But people usually more focus on actress, as queen or princess….
for instance, HongKong entertainment circle’s industy has WongMingQuan汪明荃….she is always called Sister Wang in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, indicating her stature in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry.
So, who has the honored to be called Big Sister and so indicate her statue in Singapore’s entertainment industry(MDC)?
Zoe Tay, for sure….but seem it is past tense….
Her recent performance didn’t really impress the audience and generally she is not treated like a queen anymore….
But it is not her fault….maybe I should blame the producer who can’t even create a most suitable character to Zoe?
as I said…I always feel pity for singapore actors….
and it is quite shame that our own queen is treated like that!!!!!
What will other people think about singapore entertainment industry?
No future?
So, what I’m saying that MDC should create another excellent character that really fit Zoe in….even it is a second main actress or what…(like 东方之珠, 汪明荃is 2nd main actress while 佘詩曼 is main actress),as long as the character is good enough to impress the audience…for her kingdom coming back~LOL
It also can show to other people that SG got Zoe while HK got WMQ….
or else it is embarrasing SG got no one to be the big sis~
By the way, I looking forward for a drama that put Zoe and JA together….
I’m sure people will like it….but…as I said, story line and how character showing are way more important…..
Have been speaking so muchhhhhhh~
but it truth…LOL

I hope to see these stars also whom are not under mediacorp contract- Thomas Ong, Huang Bi Ren however she is having her 3rd child.. maybe end of next yr get her back? Jacelyn Tay which she mentioned that she would consider if there s good script, and wong li lin.
Also maybe they can find RIS LO to act in those ” No Brain” role.. it will create some publicity for that drama. Maybe get Ris Lo pair up with Jade Seah to cast them in super bimbotic roles which Pat Mok head the ” gang”.
Getting Ris Lo is a good idea i think. Anyway she wanted to be famous isnt she.. ask MCS give this criminal (A FACT) a chance! opps! you know… yah… BOOMZ… HAHAHAHAHA

3 Genres I Want to See: Historical, Period & Profession.
Examples:
Historical – There are a lot of historic material (war, sports, politics) that can be explored. It may not be based on a huge event, rather it can be character centric. For example, ‘蔡鍔與小鳳仙’, which is currently airing in Hong Kong, focuses on the historic character 蔡鍔. Dramas may also be based on historical places that have lots of stories to be told. Or rather significant places in Singapore since there’s not a lot of history sites in Singapore. For example, ‘珍珠街坊’, the drama in 1990s that focused on Chinatown, or ‘河水山’.
Why I like such genres: I picked these 3 genres because they are the least-produced by Mediacorp in the 00s and I would love to see more of those. Especially period dramas. We don’t get to see the stars in period costumes now. As for the profession genre, I don’t see any uniformed profession being filmed as a drama yet recently.
The Leading Stars (in no order)
林湘萍 Yvonne Lim – With Huang Biren & Ivy Lee leaving Mediacorp, she might very well be their successor as the new 戏后. Her acting has matured and improved tremendously. Her performance in ‘破茧而出’ was a showcase of her brilliant acting. Other roles such as in ‘有福’ & ‘同心圆’ were just as awesome. Give her a good leading role, she will definitely shine once again.
陈莉萍 – She is always a joy to watch on screen. Why? Because she got this special charisma that no one else’s in Mediacorp has. The audience are drawn into her, whichever role & drama she is involved with. Whether it’s the long suffering housewife in ‘团圆饭’, sassy Nancy in ‘一房半庭一水缸’, or classics in
‘黄金路’ & ‘荷兰村’, the audience love her.
戴阳天 – Not a big fan of him, but he has the most potential to be the top leading actor in Mediacorp. Whenever I on my TV, it’s always either 郑斌辉 or 陈汉伟 as the male lead. What happen to the younger actors? Are their acting not up to scratch yet? But everything come with experience. 戴阳天 might not have the best acting yet (passable), but it’s the star quality & X-factor he has that will propel him to the top.
蔡琪慧 – I despised her in ‘一房半庭一水缸’. Absolutely hated her. She succeeded in annoying me to no end. But that is a compliment to her because the intention of her role was to go against the protaganist! She did well on her first drama. 蔡琪慧 has a very special aura around her that I do not see in other actresses. She reminds me of Jacelyn Tay, full of 气质.
陈邦鋆 – Another younger actor who I see great potential in. Boyish looks with good acting. I thought he did a remarkable job in ‘沸腾冰点’ & ‘小娘惹’. He was just as good in ‘Fighting Spiders’. It seems like he’s deprived of chances to shine.
郭淑贤 – The comeback of the Queen. Ann wasn’t my favourite in my younger days. She was often overshadowed by the two above her too. However, her prime days might’ve just began with impressive displays in ‘主妇的假期’ & ‘爱的掌门人’. She seemed like a brand new actress now compared to the 90s. These must’ve come with experiences overseas and I would love to see more of her.
黄俊雄 – You can tell he is trying so hard and pushing his own limits. His acting still needs a lot of brushing up but not everyone is a born actor like Xie Shaoguang. With much acting experiences already, I am sure Elvin will shine sooner than later. He’s got the potential and he needs to fulfill it very soon. He knows it so we can expect more and better from him. If not… well just keep him for eye-candy purposes la haha.
蔡佩旋 – If she can make 肉骨妹 such a classic character, who knows what bigger things she can achieve? ‘黄金路’ was only her first drama and she could strike the right chord and leave very deep impressions with the audience. That is something very very special and I look forward to more of Peixuan.
刘芷绚 – Not a fan of Jesseca Liu and she bores me to tears. Perhaps the most uninteresting & forgettable actress in Mediacorp. Someone give her a slutty & sultry role already. Or roles like a bitchy & loud kiasu auntie (Aunty Lucy), or a spoilt, rich & bimbotic princess (Paris & Milan), or how about an evil concubine who resorts to underhand methods to achieve what she wants? (Gigi Lai, Charmaine Sheh & Tavia Yeung) It’s less of ‘I want to see more of her’, but more to ‘I want to see a brand new her’! We want a completely never seen before absolutely jaw-dropping Jesseca Liu! Uglify her, draw ugly birthmarks on her, make her gain 15 kgs or something. MAKEOVER!
鹤天赐 – He’s very popular among the younger ones. He’s got all the star qualities and one might argue, passable acting. It all comes down to the company’s grooming now for Nat. If he keeps getting boy-next-door or his/her little brother roles, his acting will not improve. Give him better roles. He definitely needs to brush up his Mandarin though.

paul sth to act on.. Mediacorp should focus on more local drama. i realise all my friends dont really like malaysian or china co production drama.. esp for malaysian co production drama.. cant take part during SA and the supporting lead all like CMI in these dramas.. will waste our local actor/actress time going there…
mcs should be in like the 90s.. at least 20 drama per year.. 10 for 7pm slot and 10 for 9 pm slot.. Have more local drama at 7pm slot and stop showing co production during these time slot shift to 1030 or weekends. Hope mcs can do that.. try not to show co proudction drama as well as HK drama during weekdays 7pm instead produce more local drama will be good ..

First of all… the story must be good! the ideas must be good! and the EP and director must shoot a good one. If not it will be a waste like T.U.. gather so much top starts but tarnish the 2 ah jies and 1 ah ge reputation.
I would like to see lesser family drama next 2 years.. maybe just limit to 2 family dramas per year… we get sian already seeing such these 10 yrs.
Next in priority i want to see some Big Family fighting for power and wealth drama like the hk drama household of the era.. and our very local Rising Expectation starred by zoe and li nan xing. i think zoe tay can acted this kind of career women.. thought at 41.. she cant act little gal anymore.. but she can act those women in their late 30s.. i think she looks better den shenton way OL in their 30s.. if not those mistress on helping the husband and helped a lot in his business but always get bullied my the big wife, but in the end both mistress and the wife live in harmony…if not give her some cunning and evil role.. the one in the repeated Rising Expectation is good i think. Other actresses like Biren and Ivy are suitable to act this type of role. This type of drama 1 year once will do.
Next new genres type of drama sth like the taiwan Bai Quan Nu Wang… a bit of idolic components is my next choice– Get jacelyn tay, fann wong and jessica liu in this sort of drama. and sth like taiwan Pi Zi Ying Xiong.. get Elvin Ng.
Next- uniforms grp drama- like police, fireman, army type.. get rui en,ann kok joanne pe, TPH and chen han wei to act in this sort.
Historical related drama like Stepping out, ma jie qin yuan and etc– get JA to act in… and fiona xie, ann kok.
period drama- one year shld try to shoot one very local period dram- NOT collaboration with those china one. ask chris, fann, jess liu to act in.
Comedy- Fiona xie.. she can be the comedy queen like Yi fang Yi Ding Yi Shu Gang.
Be it they leave MCS a not.. or what.. i would want to see some actress back in tv again… since jacelyn and biren said they would consider doing drama if scripts is good. in ranking order my fav are:
1. Zoe Tay- MCS and EP under use her look at her repeat dramas like Ma Jie Qin Yuan and Rising Expecation. Its great.
2. Jessica Liu another under utilise actress.. give her some good drama before she hit 32 in 2 yrs time… 30 quite old liao if wanna be ah jie.
3. Ivy Lee – if she cant be full time actress.. get her do some project basis job and give her one good recgonition trophy during star award because she cant be in time for all time fav.. but at least she is the only actress who gt ATV award best actress so far and 3 times winner of SA and 7 SA popular awards.
4. Fann Wong. Hope she can act as a slut, conwomen, evil charater… she gt the acting skill but always act good guy.. sian a not.. EP give her a chg of role.. she can do it.
5. Bi ren. Godness leh… any tole dumb her also good.
6. Ann kok- her acting improved a lot these years.. give her some good roles to let her be like bi ren.. gettin popular during the age of 30s.
7. CHW- can act a lot of diff roles. Gd actor.
8. jacelyn Tay- get her act something like ai de zhang men ren.. those bai quan nu wang role… if not cold and very dao role.. she is quite versatile.. try let her do 1 drama per yr.
9 LNX- No need to say lah.. he is good.
10. Fiona Xie – she can act.. but her speaking need to be improved.. she can act those boyish role very gd.. just get her back, and forget about the saga..
others on the list i want to see is JA and Jo Peh and the very nice guy and humble elvin ng.

Period, fantasy and social drama.
It would be nice to have a combination of various genre in one drama. Perhaps include more comedy elements in the dramas so that it will not get overly depressing.
It would be refreshing to see new casting combinations for each drama. Recent productions have been casting the same group of artistes in same drama which gets a little boring/stale.
10 artistes I wanna see in future productions:
1. Felicia Chin
2. Ann Kok
3. Apple Hong
4. Jeanette Aw
5. Joanne Peh
6. Thomas Ong

3 genres:
social(拥抱明天,不凡的爱) historical(出路, 和平的代价), police(破茧而出,叮当神探)
why: social, historical are educational, meaningful. police dramas i guess is an all-time fav? but it must be better every time and not be too cliche. i actually wanted to choose family cause i really like reunion dinner as it really touched me. i always hated family genres but this is one of e better one which had more emotions in the characters.
stars:
Rui En, chen han wei, chen li ping, yvonne lim, elvin ng, evelyn tan, phyllis quek (want to see more less-exposed faces too)

2 favorite genre that I would like MDC to do the next 3 years.
01. Paranormal
this is BEST ever shows that I grew up watching channel 8 dramas.
(MI LI YE & STRANGE ENCOUNTERS) were very good. Its unfortunate that MDC has nt done such shows for quite some time..
Its shows like these tt scipt writers can stretch out their imgination & the sky’s the limit as logic does nt apply..
02. MELODRAMA
Usually, these shows are the mid/year end blockbusters. Such shows draw attention & again, dramas like these, create alot of viewers’ attention & criticism. Skills of the actors will be stretched as these shows usually are “more drama”.. ( eg.got viewers noticed XIE SHAOGUANG in GOLDEN PILLOW)
Actors I like to see (at least once) for the next 3 years:
01. ZOE TAY
Don say she is over, becoz housewife roles are NOT FOR HER.
She needs MELODRAMA that brings out the best in her. I am sure, she will shine again, with a role tt can be tailormade for her.
02. LI NANXING
No one can deny, he does nt age over the years.. He is probably only one in MDC tt can do any genre shows given to him. From AH BENG to a YAN FEI.. he can do it well..
03. JACELYN TAY
Hoped MDC can do a show abt her life.. From an actress to an entreprenuer. A bankrupt to a sucessful business woman.. transform this real story to reel story
04. FIONA XIE
No matter how much we can criticize abt this gal, she is indeed an outstanding personality as compared to the rest of the MDC princesses.
FIONA XIE = controversial..
As ZOE said, men likes her while women hates her.. She stands out as there is some quality in her. Its unfortunate tt our local viewers cant appreciate her looks.. Give her time, I am sure, SHE WILL BE BACK
05. FELICIA CHIN
She is probably the next possible SG export we can bank on after FANN WONG. She has tt that sweet personality tt export market (eg, TAIWAN) will appreciate. Say watever u want abt her, she is improving..
06. XIANG YUN
Let this 1st generation AH JIE shines again in a role tt is not a motherly role. I am sure, she can carry it off well if there is a role tt can make us remember by..
07. DYT
He made history to be the only male actor tt got a LEAD ROLE after playing a secondary role in a local drama. He has the looks.. Time will show his skills..
08. TAY PING HUI
He is probably one of the few in MDC tt can be very versatile in watever roles given to him.. I am sure, he will get the best actor award soon..
09. PIERE PNG
He has done well since crossing over from channel 5.
He has matured & aged well.. He is no DYT,, but he has appeal & he can do better wif a good role..
10. PAIGE CHUA
She has a potential tt says.. AH JIE.. She needs time tts all..

More Melodrama, Thrillers/Sci-fi, Idol Drama, Profession-based & less Family Drama.
Female Leading stars: Fann Wong, Rui En, Joanne Peh, Jeanette Aw, Felicia.
Male Leading stars: Qi Yuwu, DYT, Shaun Chen, Pierre Png, Thomas Ong.
Try some new pairings instead of pairing JA & 715 again..
1. Joanne Peh pair with Qi Yuwu (Look compatible in height & both look sporty, not seen as on-screen couple for a long time)
2. Felicia Chin pair with DYT (Look compatible, not seen as on-screen couple before).

***Maybe you people can consider Jacelyn Tay? Although she’s not working for Mediacorp already, but heard that she’s interested and has some urge in joining for some acting recently?
***Maybe Mediacorp may also consider some HK actors/TW actors, or something? Actors like Show Luo, Barbie Hsu, Dayo Wong, Ada Choi etc? I believe they can win over viewers’ heart.

3 Genres i want to see:
1.Family Drama – 团圆饭 was definitely 1 of my fave dramas of the year! Touching, funny and so heart-warming!
2. Social Drama – so many social issues and phenomenon that can be explored, eg inspiring young entrepreneurship, lehman brothers saga, aging population.
3. Police/Investigative Drama – Recently watched the rerun of 叮当神探 and thoroughly enjoyed it! Hope there is more to come!
No matter what genre, i hope that more dramas with more orig scripts can be produced. Leave out the typical memory loss, coma after car accidents, rape and commiting suicide plots! They are so predictable!
10 stars i’m looking forward to see:
1. Joanne Peh

anw for me i prefer romance, social and period!
romance i dun think i have to explain much since its like a must have element in every show. social cause it really reflect the current society. like yi fan bang ting yi shui gang is a good example! period cause i think the 60s and 70s are very unique eras that there are very big room for exciting and special plot!
as for the casts, i would prefer
1) felicia chin! (she rawks in baby bonus)
Ann Kok
2) TPH (rawks in baby bonus too!)
3) DYT
4) Dawn
5) Li Nan Xing
6) Yvonne Lim
7) Ivy Lee
9) Vivian Lai
10) Nat Ho

With Zoe’s 妈姐情缘 airing in the mornings now. I am reminded of how good our old productions used to be. Would really love to see more of such epic period pieces and definitely more of Zoe Tay please.
I would love to see more historical dramas (price of peace, stepping out were fabulous productions). i think such productions are more capable of capturing people’s hearts and attentions. It’s been a long long time since MediaCorp has done anything like the above. Would really love to see something as epic again.
Take a leaf out of the popular idol drama like the old-school 阳光列车. Apart from being an idol drama which featured the likes of Chen Hanwei, Ann Kok, Fann Wong and other young actors, it also covered social & family issues. School-genre series like these are missing from our local TV screens.
Would love to see MediaCorp churning out more good stuff agian.

Hope to see : Trillers/Sci-fi, Professional, Period dramas

Actually, we are abit greedy loh. Hope to see variety of shows in a year. (when you get lots of social/family shows this year, you like to see others)
Stars (not in order of priority, but place the more experienced ones in front). Hope to see different stars lah. Just find suitable ones to act.
Dai Yang Tian (got potential)
1) Chen Li Ping (love her since aiyoyo days)
2) Li Nan Xing (like her Gambler image)
3) Xie Shao Guang (really really hope to see him in baddie role again)
4)Zoe Tay
5) Ann Kok (she has developed professionally over the years. )
6) Jeannette Aw (most successful ‘princess’)
7) Qu Yi Wu (can i call him successful ‘prince’_
9) Koh Yah Hwee (got potential)
10) Teresa Tseng (the CSS girl, though i hope to see her be a singer, still hope to see her act again lah)

I look back at the serials I saw growing up and actually did a post (bamby.wordpress.com) on them. I wonder why I rather stream them than to watch the current productions on TV. It is not the nostalgia that I search for in past dramas, but their relevance in my life I guess; the religion and chinese culture in Jing Lan Jie, the singapore-china history in Nanyang dramas, the food in Little Nonya.
I actually prefer Channel U’s exciting and fresh programmes, be them food, travel varieties or serials, during its divorce from TCS.
I wish better writers could come up with excellent scripts like the older SBC melodramas or jap-drama The Grand Family etc, korean-drama Worlds within etc. There are many excellent chinese productions now too. Maybe there can be a competition for better scripts open to the public? Or adaptations from local book writers? Or even re-adaptations from foreign authors’ stories, like Jane Austen but in the context of chinese culture?

To me any genre is good so long as the script and acting is good. Somehow mediacorp is not able to produce good melodrama, so won’t want to watch.
Artistes I want to watch:
Chen Hanwei (he just brings to life any character he plays)
Huang Biren (superb actress)
Jacelyn Tay
Zoe Tay
Jessica Liu
Rui En
Huang wen yong
Chen shucheng
Pierre Png (he is not very good in acting but is improving)
Wong Lilin
Don’t forget the supporting actors and actresses. Often they can act better than the leads

I like police investigate drama,science fiction,professional based also not bad but must have good actors & actresses.Local Idol drama I don’t think suit Singaporean,sick of 60,70 period drama,I was actually thinking that Singapore should make 倚天屠龙记 also,Dai Yang Tian can be 张无忌,Jeanette Aw can be 赵敏,Joanne Peh~周芷若,Rui En~小昭，Dawn Yeoh~杨不悔，Felicia Chin~殷离，黄俊雄~宋青书，陈树城~张三丰，朱厚任~谢逊，潘玲玲~金花婆婆 and 范文芳& 李铭顺 can 客串张翠山，殷素素 and still got a lot of interesting characters,of course it is just my own thinking but I think the show will attract attention.For the stars, I like to see Jeanette Aw & Rui En in a drama together and the most I want to watch is Jeanette Aw,Qi Yu Wu & Dai Yang Tian 三角恋的故事,I want to know she choose who in the end,ha ha must be interesting.

I love 倚天屠龙记. how brilliant if we can see it the CH8 version, loved the Hongkong 倚天屠龙记 2000 version. but since 宋青书 likes 周芷若 ( IIRC??) then Ruien can be 周芷若 instead haha!

Will prefer to see social, melo and profession-based.
I was impressed by social drama 不凡的爱, 书包太重, 一房半厅一水缸 by mediacorp and i think the message to be taken away was really good. So do hope to see more social dramas for the next 3 years.
Profession-based might want to consider the helping profession – generally very important but general public are not that aware of – e.g. like social worker,occupational therapist, physiotherapist etc etc
And the 10 artiste in terms of priority (gendered) that i would like to see in the next 3 years are mostly the veterans who can really act as i think we are seeing less shows with veterans in it

1. Zoe Tay

1. Rui En (Best if she is paired with Elvin) – Metamorphosis CSI police genre, I still find it a pity she wasn’t* nominated Best Actress in 2007.
*I had a typing error in the previous comment.
2. Elvin Ng (Best if he is paired with Rui En) – The one and only boy next door. I really like him acting with Rui En. They make a good pair. Their chemistry is awesome.
3. Zoe Tay – Her acting in By My Side is just superb.
4. Li Nan Xing – More gambling shows for him please!
5. Chen Han Wei – From Metamorphosis to My School Daze, he can simply do any genre.
6. Nat Ho – If he brush up on his diction that is. However, still a pleasant looking face on TV.
7. Jeanette Aw – Period Drama works for her, BUT please do not make blockbuster a period drama every time.
8. Felicia Chin – She suits acting as a hooligan. Baby Bonus is a joy to watch.
9. Jesseca Liu – She’s getting more natural in terms of acting.
10. Aunty Lucy – Good to see her acting in some local TV drama, just lesser of the twisting of her neck in shows.

I want to watch Zoe Tay. I think she has been underrated over the past few years. She is an unbelievably good actress, with charisma and all. I would like to see her pairing up with Adrian Pang and Zheng Geping. I think the idea of her acting as a cougar would be cool to. Can pair her up with two male leads Qi Yu Wu and either Dai Yang Tian / Zhang Yao Dong. The drama will then focus on how these two male leads cheat her of her money and use her for their own gains. In the end she loses her standing in the company, and she quits. She goes on holiday to avoid all her troubles, only to find that her real true love is actually Adrian Pang who has been by her side all this while and has never given up on her.
I also want to watch Cynthia! She can act as this doting mother whose husband, Thomas Ong, cheat on her time and again. She gives in to him time and again for the sake of their two children. However, when Thomas Ong decides to divorce her and marry Vivian Lai, the third party, she breaks down and almost commits suicide only to be stopped by Terence Cao. Terence take care of her and with his help, she goes through the divorce and works hard to support her children. Gradually she and Terence fall in love. Little did she know that Terence actually has a family outside…
Finally I want to watch Vivian Lai act as well! I mean, I think she can take on the lead role in a drama!
I haven thought of what kind of plot for her, but YES, she can act pretty well!!!

I like period drama of pre-independence dramas, can let us learn more about Singapore and what life was like for our grandparents. Can let Zoe act in period dramas again? After watching 妈姐情缘, I realize I miss her acting in this kind of dramas! And I want to see Jeanette too, maybe let Zoe and Jeanette act in the same period drama? That will be EPIC! I mean, Big Ah Jie and New Ah Jie! YEAH!! Can pair them up as two friends – an unlikely pair because of their age difference. Zoe can be married with 4 kids, the kids can act Joshua, Teresa, and maybe 2 younger ones from Campus Superstar, and with no husband (abandoned!). Jeanette can be a soon-to-be mother, and her husband also abandoned her. Zoe pities Jeanette and decides to take care of Jeanette as well. Hence they form a friendship there, and weather through ups n downs to set up their own business which is still in operation to this date. That would be quite a hit! Other stars whom I would like to see in period dramas include Hanwei (he has hardly ever been cast in period drama, has he?), Ivy (she is sooo suitable!!!), Cynthia (she also!!!), Elvin Ng (give him more chance, I think he can act himbo very well, and more importantly he is an honest and real person!!!), Qi Yuwu (he can pair up with Jeanette again – he always looks good with her), Rui En (although I think she is too modern for that period, but u never know until u have tried!), Patricia Mok (she has been underrated for so long) and Ping Hui (I think he is really really very good).

First and foremost, no more family and melodrama!
Put more effort in producing dramas that has genre of Police/
Investigation, Thriller/Sci-fi, Idol Drama and Paranormal.
War drama is also nice because it has been a void in Singapore dramas. The last one, if I am not mistaken, is IN THE PERSUIT OF PEACE. That was 8 years ago! TLN’s war scene is damn few and not that exciting like those in early 2000s and 1990s.
I missed dramas like IN THE AXIS OF TRUTH, LOOKING FOR STARS and METAMORPHOSIS.
BTW I would like to request for a remake of the drama LOOKING FOR STARS. Same storyline but different actors and actresses! The 2010s version of LOOKING FOR STARS!

3 Genres I Want to See:
Profession-based:examples like air stewardess, model, lawyer
Police/Investigative Drama-mysterious case, for example like TVB’s D.I.E II, CSI
Idol Drama:like gossip girls
Why I like such genres:It is really interesting to see how the professionals work and in a spur, you might get influenced by the actors and want to work. Police-because it is amazing how the killer can be that person and not the suspect that we suspected, at the same time, we will feel the jitters. Idol drama, as it can be so addicting to find out what is going to happen next, like a dream to come true, a fantasy dream etc
The Leading Stars You Want to See for the Next 3 Years:

Tay Ping Hui

I like police investigate drama,science fiction,professional based also not bad but must have good actors & actresses.Local Idol drama I don’t think suit Singaporean,sick of 60,70 period drama,I was actually thinking that Singapore should make 倚天屠龙记 also,Dai Yang Tian can be 张无忌,Jeanette Aw can be 赵敏,Joanne Peh~周芷若,Rui En~小昭，Dawn Yeoh~杨不悔，Felicia Chin~殷离，黄俊雄~宋青书，陈树城~张三丰，朱厚任~谢逊，潘玲玲~金花婆婆 and 范文芳& 李铭顺 can 客串张翠山，殷素素 and still got a lot of interesting characters,of course it is just my own thinking but I think the show will attract attention.For the stars, I like to see Jeanette Aw & Rui En in a drama together and the most I want to watch is Jeanette Aw,Qi Yu Wu & Dai Yang Tian 三角恋的故事,I want to know she choose who in the end,ha ha must be interesting.

I would like to see… period dramas!
I think Jeanette Aw would look fantastic in those getups and headgear.
Shall we have a real… 7 Princesses in a castle kinda drama?
Also, i think the previous drama on architects engineers were good.
why not have a drama focused on a profession such as audit? storylines can be.. abt situations where the auditor has to think abt ethics.. eg whether to report a fraud or not? any other pressures etc etc u noe wad i mean.
pple think auditors are boring… so… wanna show them another side of auditors?
i think jeanette aw will make a smoking auditor.
dai yang tian… i am sorry to say this but….. he is starting to…. bore me. his acting skills are really so so.
jerry yeo? pull him out of school la haha.
elvin ng is good.
just make sure jeanette is in the majority of productions. SURE SELL.
(Paul: Cannot pull Jerry out of school, we have to let him finsih his studies first…he can only take up very light role now and give him time to study…)

Stop filming in Malaysia already, should film in China like Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou with big lakes and more mountains – to give you a different feel. People are quite sick of looking at Singapore flats so don’t remain them of flats.
You got to change the prop/background settings for the future. It is not about the casts now, you must change the environment with the same casts.
It is not about the types of story, the prop/background will give you fresh and new storyline. You draw your inspiration when you transport yourselves out of the Singapore nutshells. That is what I normally do. My ideas come when I am out of Singapore or think out of the Singapore context. In a new environment, I began to think and write better, out of the box of the Singapore windows.

Please don’t do long drama, it will be very bored if the storyline is neither comical or exciting. Do short movies or drama and zoom the theme straight to the point. Let the Baby Bonus now showing in Channel 8 has no kicks at all, too mediocre and not exciting at all.
The baby in Baby Bonus is not even cute. The baby is too young and can do nothing much but to be thrown here and there for baby-sitting.

Hmm i prefer
1) Police/Investigative Drama – Character development based on themes involving criminals, law enforcement and the legal system. E.g. 叮当神探, 破茧而出, 刑警二人组
2) Thrillers/Sci-fi: E.g. 谜云二十天, 谜图, 镜中人, 法医X档案, 十三鞭
3) Fantasy but not 凡间新鲜人 kind cos it too extraggerating. 阴差阳错, 幸运星 is nice. I like 阴差阳错. The idea of how people die and where do they go and what they do like paying money to go into dream evokes me.
4) Drama – I like 一房半厅一水缸.
5) Melodrama: a sub-type of drama films that uses plots that appeal to the heightened emotions of the audience. Melodramatic plots often deal with “crises of human emotion, failed romance or friendship, strained familial situations, tragedy, illness, neuroses, or emotional and physical hardship.” Or some may call such a genre as “weepies”, tearjerkers, or “chick flicks”. E.g. 沸腾冰点, 钻石情缘, 至尊红颜
As for mediacorp Idol Drama, i prefer korean and taiwanese version is F4 and My girl.
For actress and actors:
Chen Li ping
I prefer
1) Fann Wong
2) Rui-en
3) Cynthia Koh
4) 715
5) Jesseca Liu
6) Jeff Wang, they acted as a bad guy v good.
7) thomas Ong
9) Ivy Chen

1. 3 Genres I Want to See:
a. Family Drama – The story always feature families’ matters and the ending is usually positive. E.g. 煮妇的假期, 团圆饭, 奶爸百分百
b. Police/Investigative Drama – Character development based on themes involving criminals, law enforcement and the legal system. E.g. 叮当神探, 破茧而出, 刑警二人组
c. Romance: a sub-type of dramatic film which dwells on the elements of romantic love. E.g. 爱的掌门人, 1/2缘分, 变奏曲
2.Why I like such genres:
a. Family Drama – really missed Holland V (and Jeanette Aw) ; should try to emulate some Korean family dramas
b.Police/Investigative Drama – simply because I would like to see Jeanette Aw in it
c. Romance – if they can do another Singapore / Taiwan collaboration using stars like Ming Dao pairing with Jeannette , Tammy Chen pairing with DYT – this would be really great !
3. 10 Stars you would like to see for the next 3 years in order of priority :
a. Jeanette Aw
b. Dai Yang Tian
c. 715
d. Thomas Ong (if can pair with Jeanette Aw , it would be awesome too)
e. … and nobody else !

1) Social Drama : The media certainly can influence people. So it is important to make use of this platform wisely. Social dramas that reflect real life issues will give viewers a chance to ponder and think about such issues.
Maybe can consider focusing on Senior citizens (due to aging population), youths, can try addressing sex education as well as moral education.
2) Police/Investigative Drama
3) Paranormal : Been quite some time since CH8 have such shows.

3 Genres I Want to See:
Police/Investigative Drama: I like the suspense, all the actions and gun fights. Meta is my favourite. Not only are there many twists in the various cases, the love stories between the main characters are also very nice.
Profession-based: It allows me to understand better what goes behind the profession. Bcos it’s very hard in our real life to have the chance to know what does a certain profession exactly do. I realised that mdc is not very good at such drama genres. Maybe you all can learn from HK drama, they are really good at it. The trilogy of Burning Flames (烈火雄心） is my favourite drama of such genre. At the moment while watching, I really feel like being a firefighter too. By the way, have channel 8 produced drama on firefighter before? If no, can try.
Melodrama: I like dramas that deal with a lot of tragedies too. Those that can make us audience feel the pain and emotions that the characters are undergoing. But dun make it too draggy, or it will become like those tw dramas.
————————————————————-
Actually I had a hard time trying to choose the 3 drama genres I want. Bcos no matter which kind of drama is being produced, if there are lousy plot or poor casts, it would not appeal to me. Similarly, as long as the plot is good, I would still watch the drama, despite it not being listed above.

The Leading Stars I Want to See for the Next 3 Years:
1. Rui En

Hi, first time posting here. i thought this was an interesting post to comment on.
I think this year has had many Family Dramas and Social Dramas which are on a more mellow side. Hopefully next year, they’re more unique drama concepts coming up. (unless a family drama like 家好月圆)
My top 3 choices would be
-Social (一房半厅一水缸 was superb)
-Historical Drama
-Profession-based
I understand that Mediacorp has 2 yearly big productions (one melodrama and one period drama, as I have read from i-weekly some time ago) so I’m really not too concerned about those two genres since I’m sure there WIll be there. Hence I chose the top 3. And of course, Family dramas will also be produced so..no lack in that.
I think…personally of course, it’s better to stay away from Fantasy, which may appear really bizarre and if not done properly, it would fail.
REASONS:
Social- as mentioned 一房半厅一水缸 was a very good model to follow. I like how different it was and the plot was interesting. I would like to see more issues in Singapore’s society being brought up in dramas. But of course, this may be intertwined with Family dramas. perhaps issues in the
Historical Drama- actually, I dont see much different between this and a period drama but I most definitely think it would be interesting if something epic other than War was shown on TV. I think period dramas focus more on the life of people then but this is on the event so…events such as the Economic crisis? British colonial period? We;ve seen so much on the Japanese occupation so why not the before and after?
Profession-based- I am very interested in these dramas. In korea, we had “Spotlight” which revolved around Reporters, Newscasters and the many MANY issues they had to report. Of course, I’m not saying we should follow wholesale. We are having the Funeral-planner and Wedding-planner one already so that’s good. I would love to see a drama about advertising firms and…whatever they do in there haha. I can picture different types of characters for that already. Also…perhaps those professions leaning on the arts?
Ok..as for the top 10 stars.
1. Jeanette Aw (I see her improvement and I want to see more)
2. Rui En (Since she is going to have a more jolly-innocent character…she can really be versatile even more..i hope?)
3.Paige Chua (I think her acting is really good .. even in that little Channel 8 clip..8th princess much?)
4. Joanne Peh (highly anticipated..she too has many transformations so far..which is gd)
5. Fiona Xie (it’s a pity she dropped the role but I really hope something like this can come her way again)
6. Ann Kok (please please don’t give her mummy-roles anymore)
7. Cynthia Koh (loved her acting in Little Nyonya..she can control her character very well)
8. Jerry Yeo (I think he performed really well so far in all his roles..so I would want to see more)
9. Tay Ping Hui (he deserves it hha)
10. Chen Hanwei (honestly, Im very intrigued by all his transformations and would love to see what other characters he can portray. … and please do that for other artistes as well)
As much as these stars are highly soughted..I think the veterans are also crucial in any drama.

Actually, you have listed 12 genres, so why not 1 mth 1 genre, so viewers won’t get tired of the same family drama.
Or maybe those family dramas put to the 7pm slot & 9pm slot to be used
for the other genres.
Stars suitable for :
Family Drama-zoe, zheng ge ping, chen han wei,
Professions Drama-JP JA RE TPH FC Chris 715 Thomas (no zoe pls)
Melodrama-JL JP DY Thomas 715 LNX zoe
Idol Drama-None, cos this genre needs stars with charisma & youthful-looking. We are short of these artistes.
Period Drama (wuxia)-Chris, TPH, JA, DY, KYH
Detective/Thriller-All except zoe (unless she plays the victim in 1 of the cases to be solved)
Fantasy-All the 7ps (or is it 6ps now)
Romance-All the 6ps (no zoe & lnx pls) & all the princes (haha)
Social-zoe (plays a working mother of a deliquent) RE (plays social worker), Joshua (deliquent)
Historical-no more JA & DYT pls, they had overworked on this genre
Paranormal-All the 6ps except RE (she would look weird with period look)
Note : I didn’t mention Fann, cos she wants to make baby not local drama next year & read that her plate is full with overseas jobs too. All the best to her whether in making baby or making money.

3 Genres I Want to See:
Historical Drama: i think the price of peace is really good!! it is very educating and nice to watch!
Period Drama: i used to love fu man ren jian alot!! it is very very attractive and the songs inside is very catchy!:D and also very funny(:
Idol Drama: this genre i feel is very lacking in MDC production. The previous idol dramas being shown wasnt so good. Really hope can have one being produced that can match the standard of korean and taiwanese idol dramas.
As for the leading stars, my choices are (in order):
1) Felicia Chin ( hoping she can cast in some period or idol dramas)
Dawn Yeoh
2) DYT ( hoping there will be a felicia and dyt pairing since they are so good friends:D)
3) Ann Kok
4) Yvonne Lim

I was thinking why not something abt forensics.. it’s really cool to see them tracking clues n DNAs for the culprit/murderer. Rather than focusing on jus the police, why not smt behind the scenes? I know s’pore wun reveal much due to several constraints. Yes, I understand that so probably a mix wif police-forensic drama. But hopefully it wun end up similar to HK drama Forensic Heroes, something fresh..
Leading stars
1) Rui En (No police woman, instead the forensic scientist, versatile..)
2) Elvin Ng (Forensic Pathologist–closely related)
3) Dai Yang Tian (CID Officer–never see him acting in police drama b4)
4) Paige Chua (good for a newbie)
5) Zhu Houren (I think he’s kinda gd at acting diff kinda roles)
Can only decide on 5 now..
My no 1 ideal wud be Rui En to lead the drama, cux i get tis feeling that whatever dramas she is in, there’s always this sense of satisfaction left behind, smt that leaves a touch on everyone.

The genres I wanna see: Family, Romance and Melodrama
Family dramas are actually my favourite. That is because they show real-life situations that actually apply to us and can be helpful. Moreover, it is non-violent (no killing and not too dramatic scenes) and it is the best genre to improve chemistry between actors and actresses. If there is a tinge of humour in any family drama, it will generally be a bonus. For me, family dramas leave a very deep impression. I can still vividly remember scenes in Housewives’ Holiday (an unforgettable drama).
Romance dramas are related to this magic word LOVE (duhh) and actually is one of the things all/most people (esp. young people) are interested to know about. Moreover, anything can happen in LOVE, just like anything can happen in Romance dramas. It can actually create suspense for the viewers. This genre of dramas can also improve chemistry between actors and actresses. This is one of my favourite genre of dramas.
Melodramas can also be nice to watch as it pertains to human emotion and failed love and friendship, etc. and the viewers can actually empathize with the actors and actresses more easily. It can also explore many themes which we encounter everyday such as Life and Death and this genre can prove very meaningful as well.
As for the actors and actresses to be chosen, this has to very serious as actors and actresses are the ‘soul’ of the show. Without them, no shows. They are the ones who also have to bring out the message the show is trying to convey to the viewers. More importantly, each of them have to bring out their character in an appropriate manner to ensure no criticism is made about them/their character. After much thought, I thought these 10 people would be good:
1. Joanne Peh
2. Tay Ping Hui
3. Jesseca Liu
4. Elvin Ng
5. Rui En
6. DYT
7. Yvonne Lim
8. Ann Kok
9. Xiang Yun
10. Cynthia Koh
I think they are all very important to Mediacorp, just my two-cents worth.
Just wanna ask, Your Hand in Mine is considered a what genre?

I hope that between these 3 years, Cynthia will also be getting more lead and challenging role. Don’t forget she put up her best performance in Stepping Out, which won her Best Actress.
And at the age of 22, when Tofu Street was aired, it was proven to many audience that she could act big role. (Before that she was often seen as typical small/extra role).
She willing to sacrifice in order to bring out a role well, such as shaving her hair off in Stepping Out and attempt to become fat for her role in Happy Family.
I would say Cynthia could played any role out well, as long as there is chances for her. Representative work: Holland V, Portrait Of Home, Little Nyonya, My School Daze, @Moulmein High, Tofu Street, Stepping Out, Hainan Kopi Tales & etc.
If (i say if) there is places drama, i sincerely hope Cynthia would be involve in it. I still couldn’t forget Around People Park (starred: Cynthia, Jason Oh, Peter Yu, Huang Peiru), it was the show that i begin to like Cynthia.
(This isn’t a post to promote Cynthia, but I sincerely hope there would be chances knocking up her door and let her prove to the audience.)
Oh yeah, Paul, you missed out on food theme drama, not planning to make it?
(Paul: Food theme drama is not really classified as a genre lah…)

social dramas – i don’t care for mindless fun and laughter and characters who ‘speak funny’. i prefer thought-provoking dramas any time, especially so if they carry a message.
historical dramas – 出路 and 和平的代价 are classics. 何日军再来 too. i guess it’s difficult to escape from the japanese occupation.
profession-based dramas – i can’t resist men in uniform, tay ping hui in 宝家卫国 was drool-worthy. jokes aside, i am not in those highly specialised/niche jobs, so i always look forward to be able to gain an insight into the industries.

3 Genres I Want to See:
1. Period dramas ( but with local stars forming the core cast)
They carry us away to a wholely different world, with all the fascinating sceneries and accompanying atmospheres, swordfights, secret potions etc. We will also get to see the local celebrities in a different light. Maybe you can try a period comedy, which may incur lower production costs. There will have to be heart in the script though so that it won’t look like a mere showcase of techinical effects.
Hopefully we will be able to continue on with locally-produced drama adaptations of Louis Cha novels in the (sigh) distant future.
2. Mystery dramas
Fascinating in their own right.
Needs a very good script to avoid spoiling the plot though. A somewhat crazy idea here: Mediacorp was showing 金田一少年事件簿 some years back. How about producing our own a drama adaptation with the names transliterated into Chinese names, like what the Koreans did with Boys Over Flowers?
3. Love dramas
Must have a very good story. One that melts the hearts of folks without being too draggy. E.g. the story of Juxiang and Yamamoto Yousuke in TLN.
The Leading Stars You Want to See for the Next 3 Years:
1. Yvonne Lim (Everything from her acting skills, looks and personality is so alluring)
2. DYT
3. Jacelyn Tay?? (Too busy, I guess)
4. Nat Ho
5. Li Nanxing
6. Felicia Chin
7. Rui En (hope to see the sort of stellar performance she put in Metamorphosis again)

3 Genres I Want to See:
1) Romance
2) Melodrama
3) Idol Drama
None of the above drama is shown for a long time and there should be varieties cater to different age group viewers.
With the opening of 2 Integrated Resorts next year, hope to see blockbuster drama about casino and staring female artistes Jeanette Aw, Joanne Peh (she has star quality and very ambitious and know how to play the entertainment industry game) & Paige Chua (she has a very cold look and can play female body guard or role that doesn’t talk much) and male artistes Qi Yu Wu, Zhang Zhen Huan & Dai Yang Tian. I would prefer to see new pairing JA & ZZH, 715 & JP, PC & DYT.
The Leading Stars You Want to See for the Next 3 Years:
1) Jeanette Aw
2) Zhang Zhen Huan
3) Yuan Shuai
4) Jesseca Liu
5) Paige Chua
6) Zhou Ying
And I wish to see more young female artistes with good look & elegance being recruited. There is 1 or none below 25 years of age.
More opportunities should be given to young artistes and it’s very silly to criticize young artistes for being inexperience and can’t act. If you turn back the clock, can TPH, Chen Han Wei & Ivy Lee and many more middle aged artistes can act when they’re in their early 20s or just join the industry.

3 genres which I would love to see are:
1) Social Drama- can come up with storyline related to diseases, illnesses, stress, physically disabled, how they are able to cope and live bravely in this world despite their suffering. Actresses and actors to act in this genre: Rui En, Yvonne Lim, Chen Han Wei, Elvin Ng.
2) Historical Drama- can come up with remake version of “Hong Tou Jin” or “Ma Jie” (focusing on the suffering and sacrifices of women in the Singapore past)- it will definitely be very touching and bring back fond memories of Singapore History again. Actresses and actors to act in this genre: Yvonne Lim, Rui En, Ann Kok, Xiang Yun, Li Yin Zhu, Hong Hui Fang, Lin Mei Jiao, Jeanette Aw, Kola Zhou, Dai Yang Tian, Qi Yu Wu, Pierre Png.
3) Profession-based Drama – can come up with a drama focusing on careers like lawyers, front-line medical staffs/ doctors, uniformed groups like policeman, fire-enginers, civil defence group, counsellors or social worker. Actresses and actors to act in this genre: Rui En, Jessica Liu, Felicia Chin, Dawn Yeo, Joanne Peh, Rebecca Lim, Nat Ho, Tay Ping Hui, Elvin Ng, Kang Cheng Xi, Chen Hanwei, Terrance Cao.
And my top 10 stars in order of priority:

3 Genres I Want to See:
Period: yep i agree 八仙过海was indeed a very good show, Who can really forget Jacelyn Tay as HeXianGu
I think we should re introduce period dramas like those kind with ‘special effect, flying’ etc lol.
Profession-based: How bout a show on SIA stewardess/pilots? Firstly get to know about their operations and next learn how SIA built its reputation? Sounds interesting but dont know is it possible.
Romance: Probably some light hearted comedy genre of romance provides audience with their daily dosage of laughter, no sad ending pls!!!
Stars I would like to see:
1. Jeanette/Yu wu!!!!!( I wouldnt mind DYT too hahaa, dont have to be a blockbuster la put Jeanette in any show she would definitely deliver up to your expectations =p)
2. Jesseca Liu
3. Rui En

1) Investigative drama:
叮当神探, 破茧而出 were dramas with good depth in the scripting. The twists and turns are interesting and definitely makes sense. Has the ability to make me follow the show so that I won’t miss the plot ^^
2) Idol Drama:
The Champions, Boys over Flowers are examples of idol dramas that are light-hearted and not too lame. Many taiwan idol dramas are CMI, but i feel that it is important to center not only of the young characters, but also on maybe a comical parent seen in Moses Lim during The Champions.
3) Melodrama:
沸腾冰点 and 至尊红颜 were scripted pretty okay. Noticed that Fann is in both. Melo-dramas will need a good leading cast to do well. Fann’s acting is pretty superb and she has the experience.

3 Genres I want to see: Period Drama, Historical Drama, Wuxia drama (dramas adapted from Jin Yong’s novels like 倚天屠龙记, 神雕侠侣, 天龙八部, 射雕英雄传, 笑傲江湖. I understand that Mediacorp has adapted some of the aforementioned novels into shows. However that was eons ago and perhaps its time to do a revised version with a different touch to it
Shows like 东游记 also went down very well with viewers in the late 1990s.
10 Leading Stars:
1. JEANETTE AW!!!!!!!!!!! – my favourite as always, she has so much X-factor!
2. Jesseca Liu – she has the leading lady face, her acting is a joy to watch also
3. Felicia Chin – she may not be my favourite actress but whenever her show is on, i will still go and watch
4. XIang Yun – great actress
5. Chen Liping – another wonderful veteran
6. Qi Yuwu – miss seeing him on tv!
7. Fann Wong – used to be my favourite actress in the mid to late 1990s especially after wild orchids 再见萤光兰. still like her alot
8. Nat Ho – i think he has so much potential, so pleasant to the eye as well!
9. Zoe Tay – i think she is so underrated nowadays! she still looks so radiant and pretty and her acting is really good!
10. Li Nanxing – I love watching all his shows! his acting is second to none!
some forumers were mentioning the possibility of casting the 7-princesses in one show together! i think that would be rather novel and interesting!
i guess the problem lies with the fact that each of them would have less screentime but as a once-off thing i wouldn’t mind seeing all of them in a show!

I would also like to profession based dramas. Perhaps mediacorp can produce a drama based on the SCDF? haha. We already had dramas on the army and police. As for the stars i dun have any preference

Historical drama – Usually such dramas are good for showcasing the acting capabilities of the cast, its a excellent opportunity for them to demonstrate their range of emotions. Past dramas of this genre were brilliant gems, e.g. The Price of Peace and Stepping Out and the involved in these films gave some of their career best performances, such as Chris Lee, Carole Lin and Lina Ng in TPOP, Cyhthia Koh, Ivy Lee and terrence Cao in SO. These films proved a major breakthrough in their careers, many of them went from inexperienced newbie often critisized for their acting to award-winning thespians. Also provides audience a history lesson in a more engaging manner.
Period Drama – TLN was shiok, more please. A great way to learn more about different cultures and such genres have a history of producing some of the most multi-dimensional and intriguing characters of the small screen, several classics were born from TLN. Usually the storlines are also relatively compelling, and the storytelling is very intricate. Period dramas are also nostalgic in nature, its nice to be able to reminisce about the good old days while watching a drama set in the 1970s or 80s.
Paranormal – Who can forget Chen Mei guang’s classic “Gui Po Po” in “Mi Li Ye”, i remember being scared out of my wits as a young boy, a very refershing tv viewing expereince, a long while since we had something like that on TV.
Stars i wanna see (based on acting skills, versatility and star presence)

My thoughts:
three genres:
supernatural/paranormal – there is a wealth of material that you can adapt from ghost stories/myths and old wives tales. just look at the success of films like The Maid, 4-Bia and Shutter. These dont just rely on expensive special effects, but also on writing, atmosphere and cinematography.
period – again, there is a wealth of material that you can adapt. not only are you able to tap on the talents of original writers, but also adapt from novels and books like Ba Jin’s Family, Catherine Lim’s short stories/novels, etc. A good example of a successful Mediacorp adaptation is Stepping Out, based on Claire Chiang’s book.
Social dramas – The 80s were the heyday for locally relevant social dramas that cut across demographics and nations. Look at the past – there were classics like Pickpockets, On The Fringe and shows about ITE students and social workers. These have virtually disappeared.
Leading stars: (more like pairings rather than specific individuals)
Zoe Tay and Adrian Pang
Fann Wong and Lin Nanxing
Andie Chen and Yvonne Lim (as siblings…they look alike)
A serial about cougars starring Zoe, Aileen and Jazreel (the original star search winners) paired with Dai Yang Tian, Zzen and Elvin
Ann Kok and Chew Chor Meng
Constance Song and Cynthia Koh
Ivy Lee, Huang Bi Ren and Zoe Tay in a battle of the best actresses
Chen Hanwei and Xie Shaoguang in a battle of the best actors
Chen Liping and Li Nanxing again

3 Genres I Want to See:
- Period Drama
- Romance
- Fantasy
Why I like such genres:
about the period drama, i guess it’s a type of drama that has not been produced by mediacorp for quite some time? the period drama that i meant was the type that’s really like those in ancient times. just like those hk period dramas with really ancient costumes.
about romance, i guess quite a few pairings in mediacorp are really compatible and can really see chemistry between the pairs. but right pairings should be picked so that the drama can be successful. for example, there were 2 hk dramas – Under The Canopy of Love and The Seventh Days. i’m not trying to say that mdc should copy their idea or whatsoever. but i’m emphasising on the pairings and the feel of the drama.
and fantasy type of drama is not produced often either i suppose. and it’s not easy to produce such type of drama. a good plot of the drama will make the drama successful regardless how many popular artiste is casted in the drama.
10 stars that i look forward to see in the next 3 years :
1. Jesseca Liu (i would really love to see her in a period drama or if not, the other 2 genres stated above)

Any genres are perfectly fine, as long as the scripts are good. The dialogues must have depth like the HK drama Greed of Heart.
Any stars will do, but give to those who got no jobs for a long time, like zoe.
But the role must be suitable & the casting should be right. Don’t repeat the same mistake as in TU. Eg, pls don’t cast zoe as a woman in her 30s & don’t cast LMJ & Constance Song as her mum.
But zoe has a limited genres to do. Eg, she just doesn’t have the intellectual look of those professionals such as doctor, lawyer, teacher, CEO of MNC,. She also doesn’t have the look of an artistic people such as artist.
Now she is too old to play roles like sexy babe.
So what are left are roles like housewife, aunty & some working woman roles like property/insurance agent or hawker or boss of a small business.
But zoe can only do modern dramas, she doesn’t look good in period dramas
up to the 60s. Don’t ever cast her in those wuxia dramas, you will kill her.
Quite a headache, she’s not versatile enough, cos of her look & acting style.
Is that the reason why she didn’t have any jobs since TU?

First Genre : Wuxia/Period
Examples: Returns of the Condor Heroes, ‘Ba Xian Guo Hai’,
Why I like such genres: This has to be my most favourite genre!!! I miss such shows produced by mediacorp. Am now hooked onto the re-run of Condor Heroes every night….. This was also the genre that launched Chris & Fann into recognition in China/Taiwan.
But I also understand the constraints with such dramas. They are costly and viewership isn’t exactly the highest.
Who I wanna see: Dai Yang Tian, Elvin, Jeanette, Dawn Yeoh, Christopher!!!!
Second Genre: Profession-based
Why I like such genres: We had pretty successful Law dramas in the past e.g. Acted by Edmund Chen, Huang Biren. The recent ‘Yi Qie Wan Mei’ on plastic surgery was gd too!! Can do one on lawyers again?
Who i wanna see: Rui En!
Third Genre: Idol Drama
Why i like such genres: Give me eye-candy anytime!!
Who i wanna see: This genre good for introducing new talent.

I want social drama, period drama & historical drama!
These dramas are educational – they inform us about social issues which we might not be aware of, as well as the lives and traditions of our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. We will then be able to better appreciate our various cultures. :-p
I hope to see 1) Zoe Tay 2) Jeanette Aw 3) Terence Cao 4) Chen Hanwei 5) Chen Liping 6) Tay Ping Hui 7) Rui En
Ivy Lee 9) Dawn Yeoh 10) Elvin Ng

3 Genres: Romance, Investigative drama, social
Examples: Romance – HK’s 天幕下的戀人/Taiwan’s 败犬女王, Investigative –
HK’s 法證先鋒/Taiwan’s 痞子英雄 and Social – HK’s 甜言蜜語
Why? – Romance – love is the greatest present in the world. Investigative drama – I like solving hard questions like CSI, HK’s 法證先鋒. Social – there is hardly social genre drama in S’pore. Perhaps the drama can focus on life of blind or deaf or down syndrome people. The ending is that they are positive in their outlook of life despite of their handicap.
The Leading Stars You Want to See for the Next 3 Years (in priority) :
Kola/DYT
1) Jeanette/Qi Yuwu
2) Jesseca/Tay Ping Hui
3) Cheryl Yang/Ethan Ruan, Mike He/Chen QiaoEn
4) Niki Chow/Kevin Cheng, Bernice/Moses
5) Denise Keller/Pierre Png
6) Elvin/Rebecca/Paige
7) Felicia/Zhang Yaodong
9) Zoe/Nanxing
10) Fann/Chris

The Genres:
1. Police/Investigative Drama – more intellectual ones, for e.g. Metamorphosis. At least everything was covered almost flawlessly within the 20 eps. Not draggy with twists here and there, and the bittersweet finale.
2. Historical Drama – a story which tells more history about Singapore? Japanese Occupation, Singapore-Malaysia merger – how it affect the lives of those living here.
3. Fantasy – C’mon, get creative! Love shows like 阴差阳错, adding some humour to human’s afterlives.

Historical Drama (doesn’t always have to be about war, or specifically WWII, does it?), Period Drama and Police/Investigative Drama (shouldn’t police be part of the profession-based dramas? anyway, i like those that you can solve case by case and feature different cases, perhaps highlighting social issues as well? like CSI!)
Anything but family dramas please, i’m really getting sick of it. I believe that is why Little Nonya was such a hit too, because at least it is of a DIFFERENT genre.
As for the stars, I’d like to see:
1. Jesseca (i like her natural acting and laidback demeanor)
2. Jeanette Aw (her acting in little nonya shone a different light on her, her perseverance and soft but determined nature is very appealing)
3. Rui en (her coolness is a breath of fresh air, gotta see more of her!)
4. Felicia Chin/Joanne Peh/Paige Chua (all give me a similar modern feeling onscreen, so any one of them will do, though i think they will continue to shine anyhow)
5. Rebecca Lim (her acting still needs polishing, but she is actually pretty endearing and has potential)
6. 715 (of the younger male artistes, he is the best actor)
7. DYT (actually only his looks can make the cut for now, so more acting will be good for him since he seems to be serious in acting)
8. Li Nanxing (i honestly think no one can beat his charisma onscreen)
9. Elvin Ng (his articulation is still less than perfect, but his whole package is quite convincing as the silly honest boy next door)
10. Huang Biren (i miss her good acting!)

I wanna see
1) Police/Investigative Drama
2)Historical Drama (including epic) (including War Dramas)
3)Profession-based: The theme of the serial is based on specific vocations/professions (includes uniformed groups).

I want: Melodrama, Period drama and social drama
Perhaps, having stories like “Little Nyonya” or “Holland V,” where at the end of the show audiences get to learn something new. Look around the society, I’m sure there are a few things you can do about it. E.g.: life during and post world war 2; or the life of “ting ting tang (candy)” seller, life in Chinatown before the Brits came or before the Japs landed.
Hmm.. I like those stories because it always gives so much colours to the characters and shedding lights of the pre-war era in the present society.

I want to see Melodrama, Thrillers/Sci-fi, Period Drama. I found out Mediacorp is good in these 3 genres and most of my fav Singapore series are these 2 genres. Carry on!

3 Genres I Want to See:
1. Police/Investigative/Law/Profession-based Dramas
2. Historical/War-based/Pre-Independence/Post-Independence Drama
3. Social Drama
Why I like such genres:
Thought provoking, informative, meaningful and they allow us to learn more about our history/ancestors/other professions/laws/society. These genres are a reverse of what our stereotypical teachers would label as “junk entertainment which serves no purpose in stimulating thinking or learning”.
The Leading Stars I wanna see in the next 3 years:
1. Rui En
2. Ivy Lee
3. Jacelyn Tay
4. Pierre Png
5. Elvin Ng (only if he’s opposite Rui En/acts well)
6. Qi Yuwu
7. Jesseca Liu
8. Felicia Chin
9. Jeanette Aw
