YesAsia Editorial Description

An idol drama about swimmers became hugely popular among Singaporean youngsters in late 2004. Apart from hot young stars from Singapore such as Fiona Xie, Jeanette Aw, Felicia Chin, and Qi Yuwu, The Champion also secures helping hands from two handsome Taiwanese boys: the basketball-player-turned-star Johnny Yan of 183 Club and handsome boy Toro from the popular group Typhoon. Filled with the dynamics radiated by a young and handsome cast, the up-and-coming ambience alone already provides TV fans a reason to watch The Champion - and it's now English subtitled!

Fiona Xie, Jeanette Aw, and Felicia Chin are members of the Flying Fish swimming team, but none have committed themselves to the team. They either skip the practices, or spend more time in quarrelling than swimming when they meet. Then comes the fiasco - only two girls show up at an athletic meet. New coach Zhenkang (Johnny Yan) decides to use strict rules and harsh training to improve the team's standards, but these are of course met with much resistance from the girls. Will any of the swimmers emerge as The Champion in the end?

The Champion Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
Enjoyable series, but not a fairy tale. Filmed in Singapore but with several Taiwanese actors (e.g. Toro). I think it's OK but not magic. I don't like how the story handled the back stabbing girl, not convincing. If you like Singapore series, and the idols in it, then it's OK.

subtitled!? Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
I have to agree with the above reviewer. I'm not even sure this drama was shown in Taiwan (although three of the major cast members are Taiwanese, the others are all Singaporean). Although I'd heard of this because of Joyce Zhao HongQiao's excellent portrayal of an evil backstabber, I think there are a lot more well-known, better quality dramas from Jungiery artists alone, not to mention the likes of Ariel Lin or Mike He. In fact, a lot of people have said this drama is rather draggy.

I appreciate the subtitling effort, and I might buy this myself (price is good), but I would have preferred a different series. :(
