Reception
After six episodes were broadcast, there were public criticism that the drama was "government propaganda" trying to "brainwash" viewers, glorifying foreigners while putting down locals. There were also calls to ban the show.

The drama was the highest rated drama in 2011. On 9 October 2011, the drama's production team organised three roadshows to thank viewers for watching this drama. The three roadshows were organised at Toa Payoh, Tiong Bahru and the Chong Pang areas.
 * Vivian Lai, who hails from Taiwan, had to imitate a Chinese accent in this drama. Her performance received mixed response from viewers. Detractors criticised her accent for being extremely exaggerated, while some applauded her for the comedic style she injected into the role. She managed to achieve the "Best Supporting Actress" award in Star Awards 2012.
 * There is a reported sequel of this drama. However, due to Felicia Chin having to study overseas, the plan in doing the sequel was scrapped. Instead a sister production It's A Wonderful Life was produced.
