This serial started yesterday in Singapore.
The opening scene in the first episode involved a gruesome murder – probably the most gruesome scene I can remember seeing in a Mediacorp show. But the rest of the episode played out more like a comedy. I guess that sets the tone for the rest of the show.
Dawn Yeoh is the female lead in the show. I've been somewhat intrigued by her because although she's one of the so-called seven princesses of Mediacorp, my impression is that she's the least popular of the group. Mediacorp, though, seems to have kept faith in her.
Dawn plays a rookie cop in this show. It's a bit different from her other shows. But then she does seem to be breaking out into different types of roles of late. Her rather unique voice makes it a bit difficult for her to be convincing in some roles. A cop role would certainly have seemed to be one of those roles. But so far in this show at least, she's not doing too badly. The comedic element probably helps.
