Measure of Man (大男人, 小男人) is a Singaporean Mandarin language drama, telecast on Mediacorp TV Channel 8, 9 pm. It made its debut on 7 August 2006 and ended its run on 8 September 2006.
7 August (2006-08-07) – 8 September 2006 (2006-09-08)
It is exactly the opposite of another show, Beautiful Trio (大女人,小女人), also produced by Mediacorp. While Beautiful Trio examines the problems that Singaporean women face, Measure of Man deals with the problems men face instead, with Huang Wenyong, Ben Yeo and Zhang Yaodong as the lead actors. The 2 shows have the same director and executive producer. This show has a total of 25 episodes and it was the second most watched local drama serial for the year 2006 after Love Concierge.
Veteran actor and actress Huang Wenyong and Aileen Tan were seen as potential Star Awards 2006 Best Actor and Best Actress nominees because of their excellent acting that the audience enjoyed. Unfortunately, both were not nominated.
The show received mixed reviews. While Aileen Tan, Huang Wenyong and Li Yinzhu (Cai Lianwei's sister-in-law) were praised for their acting, new artistes who had less than 2 years of experience in Mediacorp, such as Ben Yeo and Ezann Lee were heavily criticized both by critics and the general public.
