A Good Child

I don’t think I’ve ever written anything in this blog about a Singapore produced show. It’s largely because they tend to be very slapstick and superficial. And for me, who largely enjoys tear jerkers and epic movies, I wanna say I thoroughly enjoyed “A Good Child”.

I chanced upon it in Netflix today. Admittedly, I didn’t quite recognise the actors and decided to take a look. After all, the synopsis sounded interesting - a drag decided to look after her mother who’s suffering from dementia, or something along this line. Two minutes into the show, my jaw literally dropped - It’s a Singapore production! And there’re lotsa drag queens, Hokkien profanities, smoking etc! 

I must say I totally enjoyed it and I was blown away by the acting and the script. Very touching and I teared up at several points in the show. Perhaps Singapore shows have indeed improved over time! And oh, I must say the Taiwanese guy who acted as the drag queen’s boyfriend is really cute! Kawaii-des!

Like!
