The show achieved pretty low viewership rates for a local drama serial in Singapore. Less than 250,000 viewers tuned into the premiere episode, making it one of the more least-watched Singaporean television dramas. In fact, the figures was the lowest for all Singapore Chinese Dramas in the year of 2007.
Despite this show being a teenage idol drama, 23.5% of the viewers were actually housewives, while only about 14.5% were students and teenagers.[citation needed]

Reception
editAfter an episode depicting self-harm, four students who are at the primary six level in a girls school were discovered showing signs of self-harm.[3] It was concluded that one of the girls treated it as a trendy thing to do and asked her friends to do it together.[3] When interviewed, producer Wang You Hong regretted such an incident had happened and trying to reflect a current trend which had not been mostly discovered by parents and educators.[3] A light touch was applied and there was no intention to popularise and encouraging the act.[3]
The show was criticized for not reflecting the current state of the education sector which Wang refuted that most of the criticism were not valid and some artistic license was taken for some parts. [3]
