But with multiple plotlines and a whole bunch of familiar small-screen faces including Dawn Yeoh, Nick Shen, Yang Libing, Carole Lin and even Taiwan's Sam Tseng, it feels too scattered."{{cite news |last= Chan|first= Boon|date= 29 August 2012|title= MY GHOST PARTNER (PG)|url= |work= The Straits Times|location= Singapore|access-date=}}
