Well done, ELVIN! On the female side, there is this lovely young beautiful thing called EELYN KOK I cannot recall any actor in the Singapore MediaCorp stable who can display his prowess as a perilous fighter. Watch ELVIN NG as he takes us to the boxing ring where he delivers death-defying kicks and blows a la ONG BAKstyle that would have made TONY JAA sit up and take notice. not only buffing himself in the acting department, but the fight sequences as well. Let me pay tribute to some of the cast who had put in painstaking performances: ELVIN NG, who, in his previous roles had been unjustly criticized for stiff acting has made a 360 degree roundabout turn and delivers a BEST ACTOR performance as a bumbling nitwit with a strong sense of friendship who would do anything for the girl he loves. To the CASTING PEOPLE for assembling a personable cast where each and everyone did his or her best to weave heart-wrenching scenes that evoke indelible memories of a long gone era. #Here’s what I feel, from the other side of the fence as a fellow writer/producer, far away from SINGAPORE: KUDOS Notwithstanding the superb cast that lends credence to the entire story. They did a meticulous job to bring us the old forgotten shop houses and streets, the go-go attire with bell bottoms, the beehive hairdos for the ladies and the Brylcreem slicked hairstyles for the guys. And did this move measure up? YES, special mention must be accorded to the excellent work put in by the LOCATION MANAGERS, WARDROBE PEOPLE, HAIR and MAKE-UP STYLISTS who were responsible for creating the retro “feel” of the 60s. so the principal cast and crew all left by coaches across the Singapore-Johor Causeway for location shooting in MALACCAĪnd IPOH to authenticate that “old world charm”. Which over the years,had lost the “old feel” of the 60s due to modernization …. If you are a baby boomer, it’s a definite stroll down memory lane laces with memories of this thing called national service that was imposed on the guys way back then, You also learn that SINGAPORE started printing its own currency in the 60s, the horrific oil crisis that hit the doldrums in the 70s, the horror when the stock market crashed in the 70s and more …… The story centers on 3 young guys and 3 nubile gals and their different families residing in NORTH BRIDGE ROAD Was going through a period of radical changes.
You will be more than pleasantly amazed.# We are treated to a heartwarming tale of male bonding and female camaraderie, the trials and tribulations of 3 girls falling in love with the same guy, and yet remain as close chums, plus a 30-year roller coaster ride of memorable events taking you through the economic and political storms of the 60s where SINGAPORE #DRAMA REVIEW “TOGETHER” is touted as SINGAPORE MEDIACORP’s YEAR END-CUM-ANNIVERSARY PRODUCTION FOR 2009.
