Desmond Tan does farming! Lana the Lava Lamp is back to babysit some naughty boys and girls!


Home Again
Desmond Tan (can't tell if he's emo-ing or just blur) plays a man who’s reunited with his family — Richard Low is the father, Zheng Wanling the mum, and Ya Hui and Edwin Goh his siblings — after being missing for 25 years. But can he be trusted? Wait a sec, isn’t this like Reunion? A bit but this one is set in the local agriculture scene. (Represent!) The 20-part drama also stars Pierre Png as another farmer with his fair share of complicated domestic issues. (Trust me, if you read the original synopsis, your eyes will pop out.)
