That 9pm show is another hopeless production. Lao Zoe's character in the show should have been raped by the bloke who killed the husband and son.
 
I find her portrayal of the lawyer in the drama ok. Let's not forget she is not highly educated, and she doesn't look like a university graduate, let alone a lawyer. She is also let down by her poor Mandarin because the role requires a lot of serious Mandarin dialogues, though this is a common issue with the rest of the local actors and actresses. Too much of "shsssh" and it sounds unnatural.

She is too old for that role. She looks like an old aunty, not a 40+ professional lawyer in a big firm. The office furniture in the law office was a big letdown. If they want to pretend that they are some big law firms like D&N and A&G, they should not be using knockdown furniture and home office tables.

And the scriptwriter must be a Hongkie. Zoe is being portrayed as a lawyer who has never lost a case. This is a common childish Hongkie script. The only way for a lawyer not to have lost a case is NOT to be a litigation lawyer. It's what kind of cases you get that will determine your chances of winning, not the intelligence of the lawyer.

Once the boomers peter out, it’s time for lao Zoe’s generation of actors, writers and producers to pack up as well. No one watches TV anymore let alone mediacock
 
From day 1 i already have in mind the whole bunch of Mediacock actors/actresses can't act for nuts let alone speak properly..The pronunciation in their mandarin is half past six with poor acting skills.. @least 20yrs behind HK's TVB standard...
 
A B-grade is way too generous for her acting. She's more like a D- to me.
 
This fucking old cunt keep talking about improving each time she got called out for her fuck up acting.
She should stick to sucking cocks like a whore.

Zoe Tay’s character, a wealthy woman from Thailand — does that make her a, um, Thai tai tai? — named Thailuck Thabarabasi, has finally appeared on The Heartland Hero, over two months after the Mediacorp long-form drama started airing.
To prepare for her role, Ah Jie told 8world that she took online lessons to learn Thai as well as to perfect her Thai-accented Mandarin.

She even tried listening to the AI voice in Google Translate, but found that it “wasn’t 100 per cent accurate”.
The 53-year-old also practised over the phone with a teacher and picked up more tips from a Thai native she met through a friend, not unlike how Chantalle Ng mastered her Vietnamese accent for My Star Bride from a Vietnamese manicurist.

Zoe Tay as Thailuck Thabarabasi in The Heartland Hero​

Speaking of Chantalle, Zoe was asked if she’s “worried” that audiences will compare their two performances (presumably ‘cos they both played women who speak with foreign accents).
“Our characters’ backgrounds are very different so they cannot be compared,” she said. “Chantalle played a pure Vietnamese person. My character isn’t pure Thai — her mother is Chinese and her father is a Thai nobleman — so she can speak Mandarin, but with a Thai accent.”
While everyone knows Ah Jie is a highly respected award-winning thespian, she came clean about needing a while to adjust to Thailuck’s way of speaking (hey, it’s a tough job, even for someone as talented as her).

Even queens learn new things all the time​

“I had to pay attention to a lot of aspects of her speech like the speed, rhythm, mellowness, and pronunciation, and it could be quite a challenge,” she admitted to 8days.sg in a WhatsApp interview.
She added that she did have her concerns about how the audience would react to her portrayal, especially since it was her first attempt at such a role.
“I tried to play her in a funnier and a bit more over-the-top way to make her more interesting, so this was something new for me,” she said.
Judging from some of the comments we’ve seen on social media, the responses to Zoe’s depiction of Thailuck range from the positive to… well, let’s just say there are netizens who think she has room for improvement.
The star herself is aware of this. “The audience’s reaction to the character has been mixed,” she mused. “Those who like her find her interesting, but those who don’t think that she’s too over-the-top and her pronunciation is a bit unnatural.”
However, she’s taking everything in her stride like a true pro.

“This was my first attempt at such a role and I want to thank everyone for their feedback. Next time, I hope to do a better job and I will continue working hard.”
 
The acting is real stiff and Aileen Tan sucks as a side kick too in the TV series.
They should have brought back Jazreel Low.
