Local drama serial breaks two records
Channel NewsAsia - Friday, December 26
180-episodes drama serial of "Your Hand in Mine" is estimated to take eighteen months to complete. This drama also breaks two records in the local television industry.
The cast and production team gathered at MediaCorp's basketball court for the praying ceremony on Dec 22. The producer reveals that the drama will be the first to move out of the studio and be shot entirely on location. Shooting on location has also opened up the option for the drama to be filmed on High Definition and with that, the end-product will be of higher visual quality. This is also the first time that a local drama is shot entirely on High Definition.
The long-running serial will reflect lives of five lower-middle class families living in HDB flats, shot in as a comedy.
Lead roles are taken by veterans Chen Li Ping and Huang Wen Yong, who will be acting as husband and wife for the second time; first being in "Just In Singapore".
Chen will be acting as lady boss of a traditional coffee shop in this drama; she says "Your Hand in Mine" is like the drama version of variety show "HDB Tai-tai".
Huang believes that this drama, reflective of the reality of people's life and concept similar to drama "Just in Singapore", will resonate with the audience.
The serial is expected to run in November 2009.
