Weiliang studied fashion design in France, but circumstances led him to simply run a stall in 118's coffee-shop, selling dumplings with the recipe that his mother left for him. Having 6 people living in a 3-room flat is cramped-up enough, yet he also rents out a room to "Ah Niang", a middle-aged man whose original name is Li Weiliang ( Chen Hanwei). The children are named Hong Shunfeng ( Dennis Chew), Hong Shunshui ( Xu Bin), Hong Jinzhi ( Ya Hui) and Hong Yuye ( Somaline Ang). His family lives in a 3-room flat, which was built in pre-war years, above the coffee shop. Whenever someone is in need, they would always seek Daming for help. Together with his wife, Liu Meimei ( Pan Lingling), he makes a living by running the coffee-shop, and are well known in Tiong Bahru. As his coffee shop and house number are both "118", the people around him gave him the nickname of "118" (or 要要发), much to his delight. Hong Daming ( Chew Chor Meng) is a positive and generous man. 2.13 Cameo appearance (appearing from ep 128 onwards).2.12 Cameo appearance (appearing from ep 1-127).It is the longest running Chinese drama produced by Mediacorp.

So, sorry channel 8, but please excuse me while I get into my nitpicking mode.This article needs additional citations for verification. No Singaporean is complete without complaining. Oh, and while we’re at it, RuiVin fans, I know this is going to break your hearts, but in all honesty, the chemistry between Elvin and Sheila just works so much better. Also, her nervous “hurrr” laugh at her most defenseless moments just makes you feel cruel if you don’t support her. There’s something about her model-conditioned demeanour that is very refreshing amidst a group of fiesty, jumpy teenagers. Given that this is Sheila’s very first channel 8 drama, I would give my “not too shabby” vote to her. When it comes to a show where more than half of its actors are as green as Channel 8’s logo on World Environment Day (yes Mediacorp, we noticed), its not about “who will make it into best actress next year”, but who was “not too shabby”. (He doesn’t even need that 3-minute tattoo to pull off gangsta, please.) I still don’t see much expression coming from his eyes, but everything else – from his Kermit-like voice to his Tarzan demeanor, add up to a consistent, believable, and impressionable character. But 阿威舅舅 is officially my favourite character which Elvin has ever played by a mile. I’ve never quite been a huge fan of Elvin – I think he has nice eyes which sparkle, but doesn’t really make use of them well. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m really digging Elvin Ng’s inner gangsta. Accepting the fact that this is afterall a teen drama where relatability is more important than well-developed plots, and tattoed haircuts are more appealing than A-list acting, here are my top few pleasant surprises thus far:
It’s the best time to get to teenagers who’ve just flung aside their mid-terms, and pull in a few undergrads like me who are so bored with their 3-month summer that they would willingly watch any and every channel 8 drama (and by every, I also mean the old ones which they replay from 5:30-6:30pm).īut the latest 3 episodes of 小子当家 have put my mudslinging on hold. Okay, but lets give some credit to whoever did the scheduling for these shows. It also didn’t help that小子当家 was scheduled to air right after 96☌ Café, yet another show that was so keen on teen that its desire to please the audience with a “vote for your ending” eventually backfired. The first thing that came to my mind when I watched the trailer and scanned through the cast was, “bleagh, not another cheesy teen show”. I must admit that I had kind of written off this show before it even started.
