Mediacorp, Taiwanese production house Eightgeman (拙八郎创意执 行有限公司) and Taiwan Television Enterprise (台湾电视公司) are pleased to announce the coproduction of high-concept drama All Is Well (你那边怎样.我这边 OK). The production will be presented as two interwoven series: One set in Singapore and the other in Taiwan. The production marks Mediacorp’s latest initiative in expanding its collaboration with the extended creative ecosystem beyond the shores of Singapore.
Bridging the best of both cultural ecosystems, Mediacorp and Eightgeman will furnish fans with an elevated viewing experience via these elements:
Multi-platform format. Hinging upon the real-life high-profile hacking of ATMs across Taiwan in 2016, All Is Well will thread two parallel plots, both sparked by the same seismic cyber-crime that occurs in the first episode of each series. Events diverge in dramatically different directions in each series, before coalescing to a heart-stopping head in the final episodes of both series.
Therein lies the twist in this dual-action drama: The Taiwan- and Singapore-situated sequences can either be enjoyed as standalone series or watched in tandem to tease out the intricate interlinks between the two.
The Singapore storyline will screen every Monday to Friday on Channel 8 at 9pm from late-August 2019, trailed immediately by its Taiwan-centric counterpart on Channel U at 10pm the same night. The two series have 20 episodes each and will be made available on Toggle. Taiwan Television (TTV; 台灣 電視公司) will air the series from late-August 2019.
Award-winning acclaim of assembly cast and production teams. All Is Well is the brainchild borne of the melding of minds from Mediacorp and Eightgeman – the latter led by distinguished director producer Wang Shaudi (王小棣). Her expertise encompasses the eight-title incubator production project Qseries (植剧场), which secured 42 nominations and nine awards at the Golden Bell Awards (金钟奖) over the course of two consecutive years. Other assorted accolades include Best 2 Television Series wins for Close Your Eyes Before It’s Dark (天黑请闭眼) and A Boy Named Flora A (花甲男孩转大人)in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
Meanwhile, production in Singapore will be spearheaded by senior executive producer Leong Lye Lin (梁来玲), a vaunted veteran holding claim to a Best Director win for Sudden(骤变) (2013) and back-to-back Best Drama nominations for The Dream Job (绝世好工) and My Friends From Afar(知星人) at Star Awards 2017 and 2018 respectively.
