Richie Koh gets fluent in Hokkien for new dialect drama Whatever Will Be, Will Be

Koh, who is Teochew, told CNA Lifestyle in a previous interview that his Hokkien isn’t particularly strong, so he’s had to work hard to make sure he nails all his lines.

We imagine it’s challenging to act in a language that’s not your first, but we’re also sure he gets lots of help from his fellow cast members, especially Hokkien veterans like Richard “Limpeh” Low.  

Will Koh’s Hokkien pass muster? Well, whatever will be, will be, so we’ll have to watch to find out.

Catch Whatever Will Be, Will Be starting Jul 21, Fridays at 11.30am on Channel 8.
