All hype about The Golden Path a.k.a 黄金路

Recently, as I was surfing the WWW, especially the forums, the very obvious topic to talk about is this recent production by Singapore's Mediacorp. It has become the 街坊话题, 网上话题 or 聊天话题 liao...

Though they brand this as Mediacorp's 戏剧情牵25的重头剧, I didn't find it attracting as I was not in Singapore when the first 5 episodes aired. But very quickly, I got to know the story, in a very agar way.

Here are some of the pointers I observed:

1. They found the acting in which 蔡佩璇 acted as 肉骨妹 in the show is very good.

2. The response to opening/theme song is 褒贬不一.

3. Like to make speculations to the ending and spoilers are always found.

4. Didn't quite like the ending.

First of all: last week, when I met up with the Beach Boys... Jordan told me his opinion to why the show is being called 黄金路. He said that the show name came up as a result of 2 coincident events. The first one as being the 贼赃黄金 while the second one is because in the story, one family is surnamed as and the other as . Quite concident isn't it?

Next, people actually 'duk' the official website. Reason being the inconsistency between the write up at the site and the real show. Maybe they changed the script at the very last minute? Still there must be consistency between the introduction and the real thing. See example at http://8.mediacorptv.sg/thegoldenpath/

Quoted: Forced by circumstances, Jinlong has to leave Singapore. As for Kaijie, following investigation by his superiors, he has also gone into hiding. After much effort, Jinlong manages to trace the whereabouts of Kaijie, with the intention of killing him. However, in the end, he changes his mind, and instead returns to Singapore to give himself up.

In acutal fact: Did you see 金龙 turn himself in? Did you see 金龙追查凯杰的下落?

Quoted: She begs Jin Long not to let her die in Kai Jie's arms; Jin Long agrees and carries her on his back, where she breaths her last.

In actual fact: 林菲 didn't die at the end. Instead, she lived happily with her son lo!

GPGT too!
