It’s the new April drama ‘Happy Together 快乐3加1′ and we get to see 瑞恩 Rui En doing something not very ‘Rui En’ this time… In this 35 eps family drama, Rui En is no longer the usual strong headed independent woman but a…

She will take on the role of a very nice good gal who wanted love so much she ended up marrying someone (starring 张振寰 Zhang Zhen Huan) she doesn’t love when her boyfriend dumped her for some other hot chick…

She becomes this poor little daughter-in-law who gets herself sucked into the messy relationship with a weak hubby and a strong headed mother-in-law (向云 Xiang Yun). Her worst nightmare comes in the presence of a super jealous and scheming sister-in-law (许美珍 Cynthia Koh) who is all out to ‘crush Rui En like a cockroach’… This poor young thing even kenna chased out of the house and suffered a miscarriage…

Cynthia Koh is handed this particular role which will probably get all the attention of the viewers as ‘the ultimate nightmarish daughter-in-law from hell’! She is married into 方展发 Pierre Png’s family running a catering business. She has a dark past which will threaten to ruin her and her new found happiness. Her role contributes to the many tribulations that will happen to this family…

Besides 瑞恩 Rui En, 张振寰 Zhang Zhen Huan, 许美珍 Cynthia Koh, 方展发 Pierre Png and 向云 Xiang Yun, this family drama also stars 李心钰 Belinda Lee, 林明伦 Darren Lim, 苏志诚 Calvin Soh, 洪乙心 Apple Hong, 刘谦益 Richard Low, 曹国辉 Terence Cao, 潘淑钦 May Phua, etc.

‘Happy Together 快乐3加1′ debuts 11 April 2011.

Veteran actor aka last Star Award’s Best Supporting Actor Zhu Hou Ren said in his interview with i-Weekly that Rui En should win the next Star Award’s Best Actress. He said he was impressed with her role in 过好年 Happy Family which according to him was ‘just right’ (meaning not over-acting or under-performing). He even claimed that the panel of judges would be ‘blind’ if Rui En was robbed of her chance at the Star Awards. Really meh?

Oh well…let’s hear from you and tell me which role she played was most impressive and stand a good chance if you were the judge. Vote and see if most number of people is on your side as that role may just nail it for Rui En. Of course, she will be up against many other fine actresses but I want to find out just which of her 3 uniquely portrayed roles would garner her a chance from her fans…

I just watched 5 epsiodes of ‘最火搭档 Unriddle’…and this time, I didn’t even press the fast forward button! Yes, it is that good. How good?

It is very pacy…well crafted story-telling style. I like how each episode begins with the event already taken place but quickly drawing us back into the hours or days just before the event…

陈莉萍 Chen Li Ping is marvellous. There’s one scene when there was no dialogue at all and she was hugging the belongings of her father…that brought tears out of me… This is going to be her most lovable character after her Holland V’s classic role to date! Best Actress nomination again…high chance of a sure-get-in position in the Top 5.

瑞恩 Rui En will surprise many in this role…the Executive Producer commented that Rui En reminded him of the young 邓萃雯 and that is a big compliment. You will be impressed by Rui En who played this character well in the grey area. She is also very blessed to be picked in dramas surrounded by some of the best artistes and that also bought out her best…

郑斌辉 Tay Ping Hui may stand a very big chance to grab that Best Actor trophy from 陈汉玮 Chen Han Wei (acted brilliantly in 五福到 and 我在你左右) for his role in Unriddle. It will be a good fight this time round. You can feel the intensity – his pain, guilt and anger and that he did not even need to express through any exaggerated facial expressions or body language. Just pure 眼神… Though he only appeared in the first 4 episodes (another 3 more towards the finale)…he will leave a very deep impression…

The supporting characters are equally fantastic. 陈邦鋆 Andie Chen has certainly proven that he is on the right track to position himself as a 性格派艺人 since we last saw him in ‘The Little Nyonya’. Wang Yu Qing is a complete different person from his 老飞鱼 role in ‘泳闯琴关 No Limits’. Li Wen Hai, Zheng Ge Ping, Brandon Wong, Joshua Ang, Zhang Wei and Zhou Ying also shine in their small roles. Even those who acted as pimps and thugs, they come alive in their roles… Oh well…I only saw the first 5 episodes and there are many more cameo appearances by other stars to come…

For those who will be watching the preview of episode 1 at the Unriddle event tomorrow with the stars…feel free to pen your reviews and share share here yah…
