My Friends from Afar

My Friends from Afar (知星人) is a 25 episode Singaporean drama produced and telecast on Mediacorp Channel 8. It stars Shaun Chen, Carrie Wong, Aloysius Pang and Paige Chua as the casts of this series.

Reception
Lianhe Zaobao, in a review of the show, said that, while some episodes in the middle of the series were not bad, and the premise of aliens integrating into human society was interesting, the last ten episodes suffered somewhat from focusing too much on love affairs of the young people, causing the plot to become predictable and drawn-out. The review also suggested that the alien aspect of the show was a gimmick because the script would have been equally valid had the aliens been replaced with recent immigrants, questioning whether it might have been an improvement to include more memories or details from the aliens' home world and society.
