I Not Stupid Too is a Singaporean TV series adaptation-cum-sequel of the hit film I Not Stupid Too. The series debuted in September 2006 and was aired on Saturdays at 9pm.[1]
The serial continues from the events in the movie, with a time lapse in between. Similar to the movie, Jerry Yeo introduces the characters and the situation. Chengcai and Tom are now in Secondary 4. Mr Yeo has been stationed in Shanghai for two years while Mrs Yeo has since quit her full-time job and taken up part-time work as a freelance reporter so she can spend more time with her family.
After his father dies, Chengcai returns to school determined to study hard so as to not let his father down. He decides to rent his flat out to earn some extra money. Tom invites him to stay at his house. Knowing his mother will disapprove due to Chengcai's past, Tom and his younger brother Jerry get friends to help and they devise a creative and elaborate plan to get their mother to agree. Mrs Yeo eventually welcomes Chengcai into their family after he rescues them from a robber.
In school, Tom and Chengcai are popular students and are often chased by their female schoolmates. Eventually they realize that they both have a crush on the same classmate, Jing Jing, and their friendship is put to the test. Meanwhile, their English teacher, Miss Tan, falls for the Phys Ed teacher, Mr Hao, who seeks help from Mr Fu and Chengcai in dealing with his shyness.
Chengcai’s guardian, Lady Boss, often visits the Yeo family. She feeds Granny with speculations of how Mrs Yeo and Mr Fu may be having an affair. A small upheaval takes place which is thankfully resolved with the help from the children..
While the original movie focused more on the protagonists' relationships with their families, the serial focuses on some of the other everyday idiosyncrasies of a teenager's life such as crushes, addiction to mobile phones, sibling rivalry, and friendship. The boys have also matured since the events in the movie and have a better relationship with their teachers, especially Mr Fu. In general the serial is more light-hearted than the movie, and relies on an episodic structure.
