Reception

Masters of the Sea was derided by some as "fairly disastrous".[

The Bold and the Beautiful.

The creator of Masters of the Sea, Joanne Brough, mentioned in 1995 that it was "too ambitious for a first effort", due to having a larger cast and not enough time to develop plots in a limited 30-minute episode.[4] TCS executive Daniel Yun said in 1997 that the failure was because the foreign consultants did not understand the local context, and called it a "half-baked Singaporean attempt". Despite that, the experiences helped TCS to produce later serials, including Triple Nine[4] and Growing Up.[5]
