Parental Guidance


PG is an English-speaking Singaporean drama that is very hilarious with a somewhat cliché plot, themes, and characters. This is my first Singaporean drama and my first English-speaking drama with a cast consisting of only Asian actors/actresses. I really like PG since it's very lighthearted and comical but also dealing with family and relationship problems. I find this to be a lot like comedy dramas like "Virtues of Harmony I and II" and the plot to be like "A Handful of Love" since they both deal with a couple adopting their relative's children but PG is a hundred times better than AHOL.

Adrian Pang: He's really cute for his age and he's a natural when it comes to comedy. 5*****

Jessica Hsuan: I always knew Jessica knew English but I didn't know that she is fluent in it so it was a nice surprise to watch a drama where I can actually hear her real voice. She has such a cute British accent too. She's always a great actress no matter what language she speaks in. 5*****

Fang Rong: She's adorable and so mature. 4****

Kyle Chan: He reminds me a lot of the character Jordan in "The Bernie Mac Show" but a lot cuter. 4****

Jessica Cuipa: She has got to be the cutest child actress ever! 4****

Chua En Lai: He's so funny in here! 5*****

Kenneth Tsang: Another Hong Kong actor so I was kind of surprised to see him in here since I didn't know he could speak English. His English is really good too (practically all of the actors/actresses in PG are). I missed seeing him in TVB dramas so it was great seeing him in here. 5*****

Lok Meng Chue: She's funny too. 5*****

Adrian+Jessica: A cute couple although they're always bickering with each other. 4****

Kenneth+Lok Meng Chue: A cute but disturbing couple at the same time. 3***

Jessica+Jason Chan: Jason is cute so he made a pretty cute couple with Jessica too. 3***

Rating: 4**** Not the greatest drama since the plot is nothing refreshing but the comedy is pretty funny; a nice watch when you want comedies. It's extremely short so it's not draggy and I can't wait to watch the sequel since the ending was left open-ended!
