rdf:langString The Ultimatum (simplified Chinese: 双子星) is a Singaporean Chinese drama which was telecasted on Singapore's free-to-air channel, MediaCorp Channel 8. It made its debut on 27 May 2009 and ended on the date 7 July 2009. This drama serial consists of 30 episodes and was screened on every weekday night at 9:00 pm. Being the mid-year Channel 8 blockbuster of 2009, it was the first Channel 8 drama to be fully filmed in HD. This is the first series to have no commentaries for News 8 at 10, due to the promotion of services by SingTel, the presenter of the series. Despite being touted as the 2009 blockbuster of the year and featuring many established actors and actresses like Zoe Tay, Li Nanxing and Fann Wong (often referred to in the press as a "Two Queen and One King" billing), the show's reception was lukewarm. Many viewers faulted the serial for improbable casting (Lin Meijiao was cast as Tay's mother, despite being only five years older than Tay in real life. Furthermore, the two had acted as sisters before in My Mighty-in-Laws.) The series also came under harsh criticism for being overly melodramatic and for a lack of originality in certain parts of the scripting. However, the performance of newcomers such as Jerry Yeo, who played an antagonist for the first time, were widely praised. The series now available to watch on Netflix.
