i rem last time is Brazil drama at Ch8 leh very funny ...




Hard truth. Local drama viewership are dropping. Other than 最强岳母, the rest of the local dramas all had low viewership. Even the recently concluded 卫国先锋 had poor viewership.
Ch 8 put korean drama in the 9pm slot is to test market

They need to ask themselves why are they viewership is declining over the years.
Limiting themes, this one cannot that one cannot, same old story, almost all are modern setting, tight budgets, unwilling to listen to us common folks for advice, poor scriptwriting (not all, but mostly). Even you get Andy Lau to act in our dramas it isn't gonna work if they continue controlling what we want to watch.
I am not saying we don't need any family-themed dramas but the controlling is too excessive.
Even HK dramas are doing something about it.

last time they doa ghost drama theme, Zero To Hero 阴差阳错, very successful
end up got 1 boy suicide, ask his mum burn him offerings after life, many Sinkies blame the drama for "promoting" superstitious belief to the public
as the TV station shld have "social responsibility"
and around that time 2002-2004, a lot of stars left the Mediacorp
mediacorp recover a bit during 2009 little Nyona drama
after that drama, they try to make a comeback, end up WORSE than before, and nvr recover since...![]()
No gambling, wuxia, no ghost theme, no poltical...
aiya...no need to make liao lor
and all drama police doesn't smoke or scold bad word, police man like so typical good guy, that is so laughable if u watch Korea and Hk police drama
their police is like paikia![]()
The Little Nyonya drama was a good one, one of the rare exceptions, but ever since the airing of the drama ended, they kept leveraging on the success of the drama even till today, like still boasting something that was made in 2008 and shot in SD.
I mean, TLN is history, while it was a good one, the company cannot keep on 'leeching' on it's legacy for life.



It is really horrible move, they keep selling the drama to oversea viewer, for example, they try to "sell" the little nyona drama to china (probably this is the only success they have in last 10 years), even till 2011/2012, they ask Jeanette aw and 715 to dress in the nyona show costume and go around and promote that drama in chance
2008 golden path also very successful, and after the little nyona, everyone is yaya liao
After the golden 2009 mediacorp era, they make a some ping pong show, The Ultimatum
one of the most promising drama at that time and also....one of the biggest mistake made by mediacorp

ever since this ridiculous drama, they maybe feel maybe is not the script problem, maybe is the cast problem...
so they churn out another nonsense "mega production"

This drama is so bad that dai yang tian have to change name to dai xiang yu and leave for China![]()
Last picture broken cannot see, what drama was that?

This is one of the most suck "mega production"
as u can see, in 2016 they still use Ou xuan and Rui en as main lead
which mean for the past 10 year, 2006 to 2016
mediacorp never groom anyone (young people) to take over the bacon
they immediately saw this as BIG mistake, and start to pum heavily on Julie Tan, Bonnie, Jayley, Carrie
but it is a bit too late....they need time to slowly take over, cannot one shot give them so BIG ROLE![]()
