High drama in the heartlands
February 24, 2005
Liping hurled herself off a block of flats, Edmund pumped the hands
of eager heartlanders and Brandon part-timed as a stuntman!

First, Liping and Brandon jumped down from the 11th floor of an HDB
block, and subsequently, Edmund and Liping (again) threw themselves
off the second-storey too!
Lordy, such heart-pumping action so alarmed an auntie living in the
same block that she stopped her housework and peered out of her
kitchen window, oblivious to the group of men below who hollered
Ooi auntie, close the window, leh!. Finally, she looked down and
saw a huge crane and the unmistakable MediaCorp vans, used to ferry
camera equipment.
Yes, its all drama, my dears, and specifically, the actions for
new drama Oh My Hero! (Yin Cha Yang Cuo). Liping, Brandon and
Edmund were on location at Bedok Reservoir Road to film the two
action scenes, and FYI, the first jump was done by stuntmen! You
didnt think the big bosses would put the poor actors through such
difficult stunts, did you!
Background info: Brandons character Ah Bao is the baddie in the
show who takes Jizus (Edmund) wife Lizhi (Liping) hostage, while
on the run from him. Both Ah Bao and Lizhi fell to their deaths
from a block of flats. Deeply remorseful, Jizu attempts to get his
wife back. Will he be able to turn back the clock and save his
wife?
