Reception

Wong Ah Yoke of the Singapore Monitor wrote that while the show "fails as a comedy", the "civics lessons are evident, although never blatantly so", and that they are "absorbed cleverly into the storyline."[6]

Koh Siew Tin of the The Straits Times wrote that the series "opens impressively but quickly lapses into mediocrity", and that "apart from the first three episodes, the serial is no different from the other contemporary dramas that SBC has made." He praised the performances of Lin, Cai, Zhang and Yun while criticising the performance of Huang Wenyong.[7]
