The year is off to a good start with a line-up of quality content from Viu this January and February. Goblin’s star couple Lee Dong Gook and Yoo In Na meet again as a lawyer and top actress in a romantic comedy that will Touch Your Heart. Jin Goo of Descendants of the Sun fame returns as the lead in the legal drama Legal High. Item stars actor Joo Ji Hoon as the compassionate prosecutor who encounters the supernatural, while The Light in Your Eyes stars Nam Joo Hyuk who plays a jaded young man aspiring to become a reporter.

Touch Your Heart tells the story of a romance between a lawyer and top actress. Oh Yeon Seo (starring Yoo In Na) is a popular actress whose career declines after a scandal. When she hears about a famous screenwriter wanting her to play the female lead, she works as a lawyer’s secretary to gain experience. Kwon Jung Rok (starring Lee Dong Wook) is arrogant and cold-hearted attorney at a law firm who has to accept Oh Yeon Seo as his secretary.

Ko Tae Rim (starring Jin Goo) is an arrogant and skilled lawyer who has a 100 per cent winning rate – losing a case is unimaginable. Because of his streak of winning cases, he charges an obscenely high fee for his clients. On the other hand, Seo Jae In (starring Seo Eun Su) is an enthusiastic young lawyer who is determined to help clients who are stuck in unfair situations. She decides to work with Ko Tae Rim to build up her worth.

Han Ji Min plays Kim Hye Ja, an honest and bright woman who dreams of becoming an announcer. She suddenly turns into a 70-year-old woman, with a special ability to manipulate time. Starring opposite her is Nam Joo Hyuk as Lee Joon Ha, an aspiring reporter who wastes his life away. Other notable names include Son Ho Joon and veteran actress Kim Hye Ja.

Based on a webtoon of the same name, Item follows a criminal profiler and prosecutor who work together to solve mysteries behind objects with supernatural powers. Kang Gon (Joo Ji Hoon) is a warm-hearted prosecutor who gets pulled into a world made up of supernatural objects, to save his niece. He works with Shin So Young (Kim Se Young), an experienced and composed criminal profiler.

Asides to that, the law and crime genre continue to dominate the small screen with two dramas, My Lawyer, Mr Joe 2: Crime & Punishment and Trap. The former stars Park Shin Yang and Ko Hyun Jung, who are unable to escape from the life of law in the second season of My Lawyer, Mr Joe. The latter features veteran actors Lee Seo Jin and Sung Dong Il, who go on a cat and mouse chase to uncover the shocking truth behind the case.

The new year is also a time for family and friends. Catch What’s Wrong, Poongsang, a dramedy on familial relationships which sees seasoned actors and actresses Yoo Joon Sang, Oh Ji Ho, Jeon Hye Bin and Lee Si Young, come together as siblings with vast personality differences.

Lee Poong Sang (Yoo Joon Sang) has dedicated his entire life to his 4 younger siblings by supporting them financially. His siblings include Lee Jin Sang (Oh Ji Ho), who creates trouble while waiting for a chance to change his life; Lee Jung Sang, a smart and logical doctor; Lee Hwa Sang (Lee Si Young), a troublemaker with an inferiority complex and Lee Wee Sang (Lee Chang Yeob), who has failed in realising his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player.

tvN Asia elevated the experience of its original production Wok The World with a spin-off culinary journey, which concluded with a spectacular Gala Dinner at S.E.A. Aquarium, Resorts World Sentosa Singapore on 4 January 2019; followed by a Cooking Competition on 5 January 2019 at Adventure Cove Waterpark, Resorts World Sentosa.

Wok The World Gala Dinner was held at S.E.A. Aquarium’s iconic Open Ocean Habitat, home to more than 40,000 marine animals such as majestic manta rays and zebra sharks, and welcomed over 200 guests in attendance. The exclusive four-hands menu co-created by Michelin 3-star Demon Chef Alvin Leung and Executive Chef Li Kwok Kwong of Feng Shui Inn, Resorts World Sentosa, allowed guests to taste some of the iconic dishes that Alvin re-created in Wok The World, giving them a truly immersive show experience.

The star-studded Gala Dinner saw special guest appearances by Hong Kong celebrity Andy Hui and guest host Alexander Lee, a.k.a. Xander, of Wok The World. When chatting with the emcee, Belinda Lee, and the Demon Chef, Andy Hui remarked that he would like to see Alvin re-construct pig’s tongue, which symbolises prosperity and luck, into something unexpected. Xander and Eric Chong, protégé of Alvin also shared the stage to re-visit some of the funniest moments when shooting Wok The World, and how they had great chemistry with Alvin despite the age gap. The dinner concluded with a lucky draw, where winners brought home a beautiful WMF cutlery set, a luxurious Maurice Lacroix watch, and Resorts World Sentosa dining vouchers, sponsored by WMF Singapore, Maurice Lacroix and Resorts World Sentosa respectively. 

Apart from the Gala Dinner, the Wok The World Cooking Competition at Adventure Cove Waterpark was a perfect finale to this immersive journey. Five home cooks from Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines competed against each other for the grand prize, a luxurious watch worth SGD2,700 from Maurice Lacroix. Contestants also took home cooking utensils and cutlery sponsored by WMF Singapore as well as admission tickets to Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, Adventure Cove Waterpark, The Maritime Experiential Museum and Typhoon Theatre, sponsored by Resorts World Sentosa. All contestants were required to make use of the limited edition sesame oil as well as dark and light soy sauce especially made for Wok The World, produced by Chee Seng Oil and Kwong Cheong Thye, respectively. 

The competition saw renowned chefs, Alvin Leung, Eric Chong and Li Kwok Kwong, along with Xander as the panel of judges, as they graded the contestants’ dishes according to the taste and presentation, as well as on the creativity and inspirations behind the home cooks’ inventions. Guests in Adventure Cove Waterpark were also welcome to vote for the contestants and win attractive prizes.

After an intense hour-long competition, Marie, a regional contestant from the Philippines emerged as the winner. Chef Alvin remarked that Marie's dish (Pork Adobo with Chicken Liver) was well-balanced, using ingredients like chicken liver and tomato. Xander was similarly wowed by Marie’s interpretation of the Adobo, where she used creative ingredients like the salted egg to create a winning concoction. Marie was overjoyed by her win and felt honored to be recognised by renowned chefs that she looked up to. She also hopes that more people will be interested in Filipino cuisine and try different versions and variations of the Adobo.

The 6-episode series, Wok The World, is in partnership with Viu and the third original production by CJ E&M HK this year. The show sees Michelin 3-star chef, a.k.a.

PUMA Southeast Asia rolls out its anchor campaign of the year - the PUMA #CaliTravelog - featuring PUMA Cali sneakers and K-Pop star Hyolyn in the campaign. Set to be one of the biggest regional campaigns that spreads across in-store, out-of-home as well as online platforms in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, the PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign will be held over 6 months from January 2019.

Inspired by the west coast sunny vibes in California, the main theme of the #CaliTravelog campaign epitomizes the spirit of a PUMA Cali girl - one that seeks out adventure, fun, personable yet confident. Once a court staple, the popular OG California sneaker is now launched in revamped versions of a versatile chunky rubber sole and subtle metallic details with an understated neutral colourway, making this into a dreamy street style mainstay.

For the first time, fans of PUMA Cali will win the opportunity to bring to life the spirit of a PUMA Cali girl. From holiday options such as the Caravan Outpost, Ace Hotel or the Joshua Tree Acre, all of which are specially handpicked to emulate the style and adventures of a unique holiday experience.

Worth USD$4000, fans may participate in the giveaway simply by getting the “Cali Dream Trip Ticket” with every purchase of the PUMA Cali sneakers.

The Cali Dream Trip participating stores are PUMA Aeon Mall Tebrau City, KLCC, Sunway Pyramid, Pavilion, Queensbay Mall, Mid Valley, SkyAvenue, Paradigm Johor Bharu, Imago KK, Suria Mall, Langkawi Fair and al-ikhsan, CROSSOVER, JD Sports, LEA Group, Studio, Original Classic, Retail Empire, RSH Malaysia, Sports Direct.

As a sports lifestyle brand that always recognises the strength, grace, and confidence of women, Hyolyn is the perfect representation of these qualities in the PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign. 

Formerly from popular K-Pop group SISTAR, Hyolyn decided to pursue music solo, and has since amassed international success with hits such as SEE SEA, BAE and Dally. Besides her musical prowess, Hyolyn is also a source of inspiration to youth around the world as an unconventional K-pop star. 

A fighter since birth, Hyolyn was born prematurely and in her younger years suffered from biliary astresia – a rare life-threatening disease of the liver and bile ducts that occurs in infants. Over the years, Hyolyn underwent two rounds of surgery to combat her illness, leaving her with visible scars on her abdomen. Refusing to give into her insecurities, she turned her scars into strength, getting a tattoo of a cross to cover up the marks. Not to be a reminder of her illness, the tattoo is instead a reminder of confidence, willpower and fighting spirit. Today, Hyolyn’s remarkable display of boldness, determination and fearlessness makes her the perfect ambassador of the PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign. 

The K-pop star will be making an appearance in Southeast Asia at a “Secret Party with Hyolyn” in April 2019, where fans will be able to meet, greet and party with the star. Details of this closed-door event will be announced in the following weeks.
