Mediacorp's period drama "Emerald Hill" is currently airing in Taiwan.
The show premiered on Aug. 4 on Taiwan's free-to-air channel Chinese Television System (CTS).

In a press statement, Virginia Lim, chief content officer at Mediacorp, said:
"'Emerald Hill'’s primetime debut on CTS is another strong endorsement of our content. We hope this vivid window into the Peranakan world finds a special place in the hearts and homes of Taiwanese audiences, and we remain deeply committed to exporting the best of Mediacorp to the world."
