The Champion
Every Mon - Fri, 9pm

Don't you dare miss this idol drama starring the hottest young stars from Singapore and Taiwan! Starring: Qi Yuwu, Jeanette Aw, Fiona Xie, Felicia Chin, Xiao Qiao, Toro, Yan Xingshu, Joey Ng.

From October 20, 2004, Mon - Fri at 9pm.


Lu Kaixin (Fiona Xie), Guo Jingwen (Jeanette Aw), Wang Tong (Felicia Chin) and He Yilin (Xiao Qiao) are members of the Fei Yu Swimming Team. But they can hardly be considered a ‘team’, since they remain non-committal to Flying Fish and swimming competitions.

After a pathetic swim meet where only 2 of the swimmers turned up, the manager of Fei Yu decided it is time to whip the girls up into shape.

The new coach, Wu Zhenkang (Yan Xingshu), held the national record for the 50metres freestyle swim. Even in a competitive and materialistic society, he chooses to remain a swimming coach, leading his career-minded wife Huang Anni (Jamie Yeo) to leave him. With his young son Wu Jie in tow, Zhenkang returns to Singapore.

Coaching the lackadaisical swimmers is by no means an easy feat. His strict rules and physical and mental training are met with much resistance from the girls. With various love, friendship and the run-of-the-mill obstacles strewn along their paths, it remains to be seen which of the girls will emerge a true champion.

yup.. luv this drama.. toro's so cute..

[dreamstar]

is this drama any good???
seriously the only thing that draws me to watch this is only xiao qiao..
since I'm never into toro or jhonny..
heeh.. ne recommendations?

[sytrino]

Hey! is this show great because of a plotline or because of hot actresses?

[mae]

i'm currently watching this series. i like it a lot. i wasn't sure what to expect since i've never watched any singapore dramas before and only recognize toro and the guy from MVP player, and i didn't like either of those series.

but i was happy to find that the series is pretty good. i think all 4 main actresses are attractive, each in their own way. personally, my favourite is fiona xie. her personality is so wonderful: optimistic, cheerful, kind and considerate, even if she is a little impractical/fanatical sometimes with her horoscope reading. and i'm starting to like toro because of her. they are so cute together. i hope they end up as a couple.

i think xiao qiao is showing signs of an evil streak, very selfish and manipulative. it'll be interesting to see how "evil" she'll become.

Did anyone here watch Aqua Heroes ? Is The Champion better than Aqua Heroes ?

How about the ratings ? Did The Champion top ratings ?

[girly]

the cast looks so fresh can any one tell me who is who?????

[shigehiro]

okey...
as i m from singapore let me introduce the actresses to ya...(try to recall the name now...)


tardy queen, by: Jeannete Aw ( she is my fave actress so far, she is quite famous after a hit drama of "Holland Village" *another worth watching sg drama...=)

Kaixin by: Fiona Xie( one of the hot babe in singapore...hahaha)

Wang Tong by: Felicia Chin( last year winner for the star search in Singapore, pretty young... as i remember correctly she is just 17 or 18 years old)

Lu Kaiwei – played by Qi Yuwu ( this guy is also quite famous recently in singapore , he acted in load of dramas before this one, personally, i don't find he that good looking...)

hehehe...
hope my info helps... :lol?:

[An6eLKiSs14]

i think its a pretty good series... i hardly watch singapore series, but so far.. seems all good to me.. esp since it has toro in it!! :lol?:

abit different from taiwan idol dramas and up till now i have watched there isnt much swimming challenges and jus evil plotting by xiao qiao on fiona

[dreamstar]

I'm watching now lol..
up to the 6th episode..
eyah I have to agree that xiao qiao (yi lin) play as real evil girl in here..
might be because her image ba.. she played as half bad in 100% senorita before..
newais.. looks interestin.. at first before Toro appear I kinda hope for toro to end up with xiao qiao.. now lolx.. he n fiona xie make sucha cute couple lol..

[nana_ng]

think tcs channel 8 is launching out to overseas market thru this production.. with all hot babes wearing swimming wear & those hunks having great figures.. good try and think looking at the ratings in spore.. it's a good move and quite successful.

Any spoiler about the ending ?

saw the last ep last nite... toro of course with fiona xie.. as for the triangle relationships btwn kaiwei, Jingwen & Xiao Qiao's elder sis.. it didnt tell cos the production team would wan all viewers to vote their fav ending thru sms.. either kaiwei with jinwen or otherwise (they've 2 version of ending).. result will only be out and screen tonight at 9pm.....

[♥ღ Katherine ♥ღ]

How about ZhenKang ? Did he end up with his wife ?It seems like that Yan Xing Shu didn’t succeed in this series…

In the official site, Xie Jia Jun- portrayed by Toro is the most fav character (more than 2 millions audience voted for Xie Jia Jun – 47%). And the 2nd most fav actor is Guo JingLong. Can anyone tell me who portrayed JingLong and why people pay attention to Kaiwei but he only got 0.83% ?

[mae]

i was rooting for kaiwei and jingwen, so i'm happy that they are together in the end. i like their inside joke about him being a wolf and she a tigress. so cute.

i like kaixin and jiajun together too. but kaixin's innocence and naiveness was a little irritating and unbelievable sometimes.

maybe it's just me, but toro looks a little feminine to me. and it's almost as if he has eyeliner or mascara on sometimes.

[shatteredsouls]

I'm from singapore.I actually wish jeanette 2 end up with johnny but he has a "son" and "wife" so no logic 2 break them up!so i think after all,jeanette will be with kaiwei[kaixin's brother]...

Yes , he reunited with his wife at the last moment..

[joyette]

Toro's new Drama! I hope it would be shown in the Phils. And I hope this is a good series.

[chinwsy]

Watched before Find it ok !!!!! Only think that some parts r too dramatic !!!!!!!

[a chi]

is this serie good? 'Cause it looks fine for me... but i don't like yan xing shu... he's not even cute... he's ugly and look old... iuu.... but toro in the other hand...... omg... HE is cute... exept for his nose..... blush
but back to the serie... I think it's about swimming? Has anyone seen *aqua heroes* ? is it something like that? '

[^AnGeLRiNa^]

the story is much different as the aqua heroes as the main lead don't get injured or anythin.. just a bit broken heart... so it good to watch it.. maybe u shold watch it then give the dramas a rating... i agree wit u that toro look cute in tat drama.. 715 bdy is so muscular ehehhehe,,,, so nice to admire at his body,,,,, look at his body make ur heart melts

[dreamstar]

watched this...
lol.. its alright.. not too good.. not too bad either..
i dont like kai xin.. her acting aint that good.. and her character is a little too spoilt I reckon..
but nyeh.. I love xiaoqiao's acting skills =D she can really have those evil looks lol =D

[Garfield :)]

Hi, can i know where to get the themesong and sub-themesong for this series? Thank You.

I like Kaixin and Jiajun in this series. They really make a good couple.

[^AnGeLRiNa^]

but i prefer wang tong hairsyle much modern and stylish... other than the competition part is tat the love story between kai xin and toro and 715 wit jeanette aw is so nice to watch.. full wit romance.......*winks

[::Confession::]

yea.. toro looks really good in the series.. The girl he likes in the series is called fiona xie.. a singaporean actress..

[baybiC_7]

awww man...i was watchin this series buh i didnt get to finish it and download the rest of the movie......i really liked it....
i didnt like that grl who tried to steal her friends bf(TORO) soo mean.....

[ettexor]

it's not bad... Kaixin was really nice i liked her character she was lucky to have jiajun.... Too bad her best friend was really bad i would have wished to have hit her.... But they were all very forgiving.... There was a nice family, friends, enemy storyline to it actually.... I enjoyed the swimming atleast it wasn't like the other swimming shows how it is so fake that they have magic powers like in aqua heroes......
