Singapore Represent!
//edit: Verdict is that this detective show isn't really worth watching, and is definitely NOT the first Singaporean drama you should watch. Continue reading if you are still cool with that.
So I am pretty selective about the Channel 8 dramas that I watch, just because it is tiring trying to catch every episode at 9pm on all weekdays.
But... recently, this new drama's promo caught my attention and we are two episodes in already! I seldom talk about local stuff here, but I thought this show might just be worth the review.
Okay okay, enough blabbering, you guys still don't know what this show is about LOL.
A guy who was suspected of murdering his girlfriend years ago suddenly shows up at Cold Case Investigators (name of the private investigation firm) asking them to find the real murderer. The boss happens to be the detective on this particular case when he was still with the police force. Together with two other "sidekicks", they attempt to solve the cold cases.
So yea, basically a detective kind of story, which I find fascinating o.o and if you don't like my summary hahaha oops you can read wiki here.
Currently, this cast is pretty awesome and the story is off to an interesting start. I really hope that they will keep it up with more intriguing and unexpected scenarios to keep the plot fresh. ^^
I feel that the red herrings and guessing games are all good, eh except for those fighting/judo scenes. >< Huang Yuyang's (Rebecca) action scenes just seem stiff/fake. 🙊 But nonetheless, she is still an exceptional actress!
Side note: I just found out (Lan Haifeng) Yusuke that couldn't even speak mandarin five years ago wow; also I think that (Hong Junyan) Desmond suits this style hehehe 🙈
The show is broadcasted in mandarin, with both English and Chinese subtitles, so no worries! :D
You can catch them on this local online platform, where episodes are free to watch after they air on TV: http://video.toggle.sg/en/series/the-truth-seekers/ep1/397004
Let me know if you watched this series and want more reviews! ~
And in the meantime, find me on twitter @raycherr :)
P.S. I just found out that the following 9pm drama is a really huge one about Time Travelling. Gosh I am excited already!
