A Song to Remember (Chinese: 星洲之夜) is a MediaCorp Channel 8 historical-cum-musical drama which is set in the 1930s to 1940s in early Singapore before World War II. It debuted on Channel 8 on 22 November 2011 and was telecast every weekday night at 9.00 pm. It stars Qi Yuwu, Joanne Peh, Eelyn Kok, Julie Tan, Desmond Tan, Chen Hanwei & Pan Lingling as the casts of the series.
It was reported that the scriptwriter Ang Ee Tee took several years to complete the script of this drama. Despite large amounts of resources and money pumped in for the production and promotion of this serial,[1] the drama was not well received by the audience when it was broadcast. Many perceived the show to be boring and slow-paced, and the acting skills of some of the main cast members were heavily criticised.[2] This drama ranked 9th (out of 11 dramas at the 9 pm slot) in the Year 2011 viewership ratings, coming in one of the last.[3] On the other hand, smaller-scale productions such as Love Thy Neighbour managed to clinch the top spot.
