Read a summary of this article on FAST.
If you have been following the hit blockbuster drama Emerald Hill religiously, you would definitely understand what we mean when we say it has been an emotional rollercoaster.
We're not going to lie. We have been every bit as invested in the story, impatiently waiting (darn those cliffhanger endings) for new episodes every Monday.
Which cast members had us ranting in group chats, shouting at our screens and sparking heated conversations during mealtimes and gatherings?
Here are the stars who stole the spotlight and our hearts. And also that last piece of nyonya kueh.

We knew Chantalle Ng was going to play evil in the drama but we sure didn't expect Zhang An Na to be this evil. We have friends who admit they're so done with the character, they would fast forward the scene whenever she comes on. If that's not praise for Ng's acting, we don't know what is.
