From YES to I DO: Hazelle Teo and James Wong (Photo: Mediacorp)

From YES to I DO (mewatch, Channel 8, June 2, 8pm)

The love story of Hazelle and James continues… In this week’s episode, the couple wonders if “marriage is about two people or two families”. It’s a pressing question. Everyone wants to know their take. Budding couples, take note. There’ll be a test after this…   

Doctor on the Edge: Lee Jae-wook and Shin Ye-eun (Photo: Disney+)

Doctor on the Edge (Disney+, June 1)

Twelve-part K-drama starring Lee Jae-wook as a plastic surgeon who tries to skive off (read: keng) his mandatory military service — by enlisting as a public health doctor.  The problem is, he’s assigned to a remote village on Pyeondong Island… and he’s terrified of the sea. Good thing he has a local nurse (Shin Ye-eun) to show him the lay of the land. Sounds like a Korean Dr Martin, no? New eps every Monday and Tuesday.

Cape Fear: Javier Bardem (Photo: Apple TV)

Cape Fear (Apple TV, June 5)

Warning: You can’t take your eyes off Javier Bardem in this 10-part series inspired by Martin Scorsese’s 1991 thriller starring Robert De Niro. That movie itself is a remake of a 1962 feature, both adapted from John D MacDonald’s 1957 novel The Executioners. So that’s a lot of DNA…okay, that came out creepy. Bardem takes on De Niro’s role of Max Cady, the unhinged ex-jailbird bent on getting even with the lawyers (Patrick Wilson and Amy Adams) — with their messed-up kids caught in the undertow — responsible for putting him behind bars. Remember that thumb-sucking scene in the Scorsese version? Well, there’s a variation of that moment. And then some. Also, Cape Fear wouldn't be Cape Fear without the Bernard Herrmann theme. 

Teach You a Lesson: Kim Mu-yeol (Photo: Kim Ji-yeon/Netflix)

Teach You a Lesson (Netflix, June 5)

What happens if a school gets overrun by unruly students? Cane their asses? (Make friends with pain!) Get the teachers to spend more time with them? (They aren’t subs for parents!) Or, in this K-drama, have the gahmen send in the cavalry in the form of Kim Mu-yeol — as an agent of the newly-created Educational Rights Protection Bureau — to restore order. MOE, watch and learn. The 10-part series also stars Lee Sung-min, Jin Ki-joo, and Pyo Ji-hoon.

Office Romance: Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein (Photos: Ana Carballosa/Netflix)

Office Romance (Netflix, June 5)

Here’s something Grayce Tan and her former colleagues at PropertyLimBrothers wouldn’t be watching anytime soon (maybe, maybe not) — a raunchy (Netflix’s word, not mine) rom-com about a secret office romance between two workaholics (Jennifer Lopez and Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein, who also co-wrote the script) and the trouble that ensues. Wait till HR hears of this… Ol Parker (Ticket to Paradise, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!) directs.

Wicked for Good: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Ervio (Photos: Universal Pictures)

Wicked: For Good (HBO Max, June 5)

The first Wicked movie was a massive hit, even winning two Oscars for Best Costume and Production Design. Alas, the follow-up didn’t make as big an impact as its predecessor. It made less at the BO, was largely ignored during awards season, and Michelle Yeoh was crucified for her Madame Morrible performance (she can’t sing lah). Oh well, at least Johnson Wen — he truly lived up to his name of being a dick — gained notoriety when he jumped the barricade and rushed at Ariana Grande on the yellow carpet at Universal Studios Singapore. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
