Till We Meet Again Singapore Drama
Aqueduct eight blockbuster drama, Till We See Once more (TWMA), finally came to an stop last Friday, Dec. 21.
The drama received much hype as it is the first flow drama after 20 years.
It was also perhaps the last fourth dimension yous volition get to meet Jeanette Aw on local boob tube.
Poorly received
However, the drama faced quite a bit of backlash.
Take a expect at these comments from the Channel 8 Facebook mail:
Wawa Pictures responds
Time-travelling and period dramas, such as Eternal Beloved and A Korean Odyssey, have proven to be hits in China and Korea.
These were genres that TWMA perhaps tried to emulate.
The prequel of TWMA was besides filmed in Ning Bo, Prc, for three months, the aforementioned location where popular Chinese period dramas Eternal Love andNirvana in Burn down were filmed.
TWMA set up out to be a fresh interpretation of Journey to the West coupled with a modern twist, similar to A Korean Odyssey.
Unfortunately, TWMA did not fare too.
In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao, the Chief Creative Director of Wawa Pictures, Molby Depression, who produced TWMA, responded to the three reasons behind the by and large negative sentiment that TWMA received.
1. Disruptive plot
Viewers generally commented on the plot being confusing and difficult to follow.
In response, Low said that they added a time-travelling element in hopes of alluring more viewers to follow the drama.
The initial concept was but a girl in search of Sun Wu Kong for a thousand years to seek for his forgiveness.
He also explained that TWMA was not a remake of Journey to the Westward, but it tweaked the tale to create something original in the form of a ten-episode ancient prequel and a 20-episode modern romance sequel.
The team did not find the story complicated when they were producing the drama but said they volition take notation of this feedback.
2. Poor acting
Another reason backside the poor public reception was allegedly the poor acting chops from several inexperienced actors.
In response, Depression claimed the cast had met the squad's expectations.
Anybody has their own idea of what Zhu Ba Jie or Sunday Wu Kong is supposed to be, but TWMA was supposed to be a modern romance so he hoped the actors and actresses had their own interpretation and a sense of modernity.
One of the considerations was how the female audience these days would prefer their Zhu Ba Jie to be, which led to the creation of a thinner heartthrob Zhu Ba Jie.

TWMA also used special furnishings in some of their fight scenes.

Nevertheless, at that place was some backfire on the quality of these furnishings.
Low agreed that the effects used in TWMA were non as good equally those used in Chinese and Korean films, primarily due to limited resources.
In fact, Low told Zaobao that the whole production exceeded their initial upkeep.
Although Depression did non dismiss the possibility of producing period dramas again, he admitted that that remake of dramas such equally The Legend of the Condor Heroes would crave more than resources.
Despite the negative comments, he shared with Zaobao that TWMA was a good experience to larn about budgeting for such dramas and collaborating with the Chinese product coiffure.
Conclusion
The quality of visual effects was probably the least of TWMA'southward worries though.
Possibly if there had been a amend bandage or coherent plot, it would have been amend received, like other Wawa productions.
Or even older Aqueduct 8 dramas that are still remembered fondly today.
Another example would exist the Channel 8 drama Nothing to Hero back in 2005, which proved that apprentice visual furnishings is no impediment if you have a good cast and plot.
Memories.
