  "account": "Tasha Low, the actress behind a rookie prison officer in Mediacorp's new English drama Yes Captain!, shared insights into filming the series inside Changi Prison. The drama premiered on National Day, with Low alongside Zhin Sadali and Clement Yeo. Known for her roles in Chinese dramas, this marks Low's first prison officer character. Excited about the real prison setting, she joked about looking cool in the uniform, appreciating the comfortable outfit's freedom. However, the experience was unlike anything Low had encountered; cast members reported to the prison each morning, surrendering phones, and filming without clocks. This meant they were almost disconnected from the outside world until filming wrapped. Despite the warm and poorly ventilated conditions, Low felt the environment aided her immersion in the role. While her character aligns with her kind-hearted image, Low expressed a desire for more challenging roles in the future. Off-screen, she's been busy with another Chinese drama and hasn't had a proper holiday since June last year. The demanding schedule has left little time for her family and even her cat. Nevertheless, Low expressed gratitude for the work, hoping to spend time with her mum once filming eases. Yes Captain! will air on mewatch every Monday from Aug 17, and on Channel 5 from Monday to Thursday at 8.30pm.",
