How did this Channel 8 drama about residents living in a soon-to-be demolished estate fare in our books?
HIT & MISS: Chock-a-block star cameos in the beginning of the show
There was much hype about all the famous actors that would be making cameos in the show – Zoe Tay, Xiang Yun, Tay Ping Hui, Kym Ng, Jack Neo and Mark Lee, just to name a few, and most of these famous cameos are featured heavily in the beginning of the show. While we love the idea of "borrowing" star power from these A-list actors and having them play sugar mummy, superstars, hawkers, random passers-by or ordinary heartlanders, we thought it could have been more impactful to evenly distribute their appearances throughout the show. Some had hit-and-miss appearances in the early part of the series because viewers were still trying to warm up to the regular characters and could not differentiate between a cameo and a fixed cast member.
