I enjoyed 'Crazy Rich Asians' so should have loved 'Last Tang Standing', but didn't. Malaysian-Chinese lawyer Andrea Tang is a 33 year old successful professional woman... with the narrative voice of a bratty teenager. It's often very funny, but infuriating. My patience for her whiny nonsense was soon exhausted and the romance plot held no mystery. I bore with it to the end because of the other bits: the shiny Singapore setting, and Lauren Ho's light-touch, warm-hearted exploration of the power and weight of familial expectations.
