    If I'm not wrong the title is 'Stand By Me'.

    I recommend 'Beautiful Illusion', which was broadcast this year. There are a few good ones like, 'Stepping Out', but they are a little 'old' already. I thought that the storyline in 'Beautiful Illusion' is pretty fresh, as compared to the other family-oriented family series we usually see on TV. It is about a girl who want to seek revenge.
    It is time to move on, but I can't do that, coz there is still a place for you in my heart...

    my fave is tofu street. the ending is one of the most memorable ones in MediaCorp drama history. it was so heartbreaking at the end.

    I am sorry that I even mention this, but I used to watch quite a few series back in 1988-89. I think they were good... I have no idea what the titles were, but it was something like "pien nien sau nien" about six naughty kids getting in trouble and pregnant, then about a girl from outer space "ET" she was real cute, then an ancient series, so funny called "the kirin". There are more but too bad I can barely remember anything else. Does anyone know what i am talking about?

    边缘少年, starring Li Nanxing, Yang Libing, etc. Only watched a few episodes, so only vaguely remember it was about a group of gangsters. I remembered the song though.

    then about a girl from outer space "ET" she was real cute,

    The hand sign that the alien made in the series was very popular among the kids back when it was aired. \\//

    if you want something romantic, the most memorable one would be 'looking for stars' starring fann and chris. if im not wrong its only 10 episode long and they have it on vcd.

    Tofu Street was shown in 1996. It's about the life of an immigrant child-bride, Simei, her family (mother-in-low and little husband called Luo Tou) and friends in post-war Singapore.

    There are many plot-lines in the show and one of the most memorable is the forbidden love between Simei and this rich guy who loses his memory. To repay her gratitude towards her family, Simei chooses to remain loyal to them and rejects the rich man's love. The rich man returns to his fiancee and they wed. Years later, Luo Tou grows up and he is expected to consumnate his marriage. However he confides in Simei that he only harbours sibling love towards her. More importantly, he's fallen in love with his classmate. Simei takes out her life-savings and asks Luo Tou to elope with his lover. Luo Tou leaves and weeps on the train. In the last scene of the show, we see smiling wedding guests streaming into Simei's home and congratulating the mother-in-low. This is juxtaposed against Simei's tearful face as she sits alone in her bedroom, waiting for the groom that she knows will never appear...

    wonder if anyone rems this serial called "3 and a half women". think it was shown in 2001. it's pretty good i thought. about huang wenyong who plays a divorcee going thru mid-life crisis, and how he is upstaged by 3 incredibly capable women in his ad agency, or so they seem...

    Fann Wong in the 1st series, Ann Kok in the 2nd series. Ann Kok was also in the first as a student who got terminally illed. In the second, she played a teacher.

    I don't have any links to the other two though.
    As I'm in Singapore, I don't know where you can get these in USA.

    I will say I like MediaCorp's series in the past, too many to name. Recently, MediaCorp's series are generally long family dramas. I feel that having 1 or 2 will be fine. Too many such dramas actually bore the viewers.

    Nevertheless, there are also some rather creative series like 'Yin Chai Yang Cuo' and the one starring Zoe Tay as traid leader. Although the script for these 2 shows may not b v gd, i think it is rather innovative

    Oh! Almost forgot. I think the best MediaCorp series I have seen in last yr/this yr is 'er fen zhi yi yuan fen'.
