Bubble SG Review: Heartland Hubby ”Hardlands / First Date”

Spoilers Below

Hi guys, want to know how to ask a woman out on a date? Advice from the show: Be a man! The ludicrous explanation must be heard to be fully understood! But George took this advice and got his date with Cathy!

Too bad her dad is Encik, the father who is so hard to please. Encik takes pleasure in sabotaging his daughter’s date just because George is an ‘ang mo’ (literally meaning red hair, but also a slang for Caucasian) who has never been through National Service. Obviously he fails, yet again. But this time he drags Molly along with him, and they get into some hilarious misunderstandings with each other! You’ll also hear some comments about Cathy being an SPG, which means ‘Sarong Party Girl’. It’s a pretty derogatory remark used to describe an Asian girl who only dates white men! But of course, tough chick Cathy doesn’t take that lying down!

And speak of the devil! Just when I was complaining two episodes ago about how the show should have more action, this episode provided lots of it! Unfortunately, the way it was shown took away from the core of the story. The action came in the form of a comic Robbie was drawing, with his family and neighbours being the characters. To be honest, it was a bit confusing with the scenes changing from ordinary everyday life to the scenes in the comic too abruptly.

Taking that into account, this episode is still pretty good! Too bad there were barely any scenes with the street cats!
