Here's a review from Xinmsn.
I'm not sure whether I should quote the word "EXCLUSIVE" from Toggle; cause the last I checked, Episode 1&2 are also available on Xin-First. Toggle users can just watch the whole series (13-epi) from Toggle. Here's a review from Xinmsn. P.S. Do you know the ending theme song were sung by Romeo Tan & Sheila Sim?

You Can Be An Angel Too (你也可以是天使) premieres Jan 5, 2015 on Ch8 at 9pm. Its name, which is a literal translation of the Mandarin title, refers to a group of nurses in the healthcare industry (a la your modern day angels), and documents their day-to-day operations and encounters through its characters portrayed by Zoe Tay and Xiang Yun, Elvin Ng, Bryan Wong, Rebecca Lim, Sheila Sim, Xu Bin and Aloysius Pang. Both Ah Jies will be playing sisters and veteran nurse managers in this upcoming Ch8 drama, their first collaboration in more than 20 years - the last time they worked together was in 1989. These two have a sorta frenemy relationship in the drama~
After breaking up with Xi Wen, Jia Zi falls in love with You Le. Sheila and Elvin are paired up in a drama for the second time after I'm In Charge. Dubbed as the good looking siblings...

Screencap doesn't come easy; please do not take it out of this site without proper creds. Mystic Whispers (听) is a 13-episode (30-mins) Toggle original drama series, and will be free to watch from 16 September 2014 for all Toggle users. Though Mystic Whisper is a horror-themed drama, I'm expecting Comedy > Horror judging from the tone of the trailer and Romeo's less than serious acting. The horromedy (Horror + Comedy) is only rated PG-13 in the trailers. Executive Producer (cum director) Leong Lye Lin casted her Sudden (骤变) leading man, Romeo Tan, and best supporting actor (dog), Flapper. I’m not sure what “role” Flapper will be playing but Romeo and Lye Lin seemed to share a good working relationship as seen from Sudden's behind the scene clips and their thank you speeches for Star Awards 20 Top 10 Male Artiste and Best Director respectively. This would be model-actress Sheila Sim’s 3rd drama role after a decade of modelling career. She will also be starring in the 190-episode drama, 118, and medical drama, You Can Be Angel Too next year. Plot: The story follows Mo Xiao Yun (Sheila Sim), who began hearing strange noises after she was involved in a car accident. She meets Zhang Ji’en (Romeo Tan), a famous mortician & part time exorcist (who is actually a fake). However, as long as they are together (presuming having physical contact), they can see “ghosts”. Both Xiao Yun and Ji’en work together to “listen” to the stories of the ghosts and help “them” solve their problems or last wishes. Toggle has already launched a Mystic Whispers Extras on their site/app. For the overseas fans who do not have access to Toggle, I’ll be doing a summary + screencaps for the 3 Extras since there is a high chance that they won’t be showing on TV. I’m not sure if Mediacorp plans to broadcast this 13-episode series on TV; but right now, I can’t confirm if I’ll be doing a summary for the actual episodes since it’s time consuming for me. Extra 1: 2-mins trailerThere are 7 stories covered in this 13-epi series. We are introduced to Ji’en cheeky personality as he portrays a fake exorcist and Xiao Yun with her ability to see ghost. Supporting casts are played by Yuan Shuai, a ghost who died as a workaholic, “一大粒” Michelle Tay, an obese ghost who wants to go on a diet - and threatens to possess Xiao Yun if her dieting plan fails (you want to go on a diet even when you are a ghost?), and a female ghost played by Seraph Sun. We then see the growing romance between the leads as the background music change from creepy to sweet. He promised that as long as he holds her hand, he will protect her from the ghost and car accident (does the accident happens often that you need to make this promise?). However, Ji’en seemed to be hiding something from her. Extra 2: Zhang Ji’en inner thoughtJi’en reveals the reason why he wants to “catch ghost” Then we are introduced another ghost (Aloy Pang) who was ridiculously killed by a falling desktop. He doesn't talk to his parents; instead, he uses Whatsapp to communicate with them as he is addicted to smartphone. Zhang Ji’en past. Before his ghost career, he was a top salesman selling cosmetics. He defended himself by saying most makeup artists are males, so there nothing wrong with a man selling cosmetic products. funny. Ji’en: You think there is another reason for me to help those ghost? Then we saw Ji’en sobbing like a baby after doing make up for a female corpse (Seraph Sun). Ex-gf maybe? No details given for this ghost. Ji'en: is there any secret between Xiao Yun and I? She doesn’t… but I do. hmm... do you have anything to do with her car accident?? Something going on between you two? Xiao Yun looks disappointed at his response... Ji'en calls Xiao Yun bamboo pole (read: tek-ko in Hokkien) Extra 3: Xiao Yun’s inner thought Xiao Yun coyly says that she thinks Ji'en likes her when asked if there is anything going on between them. I'm gonna make a daring guess that Xiao Yun is gonna fall for Ji'en first. When asked the same question in chapter 2, Ji'en's reply makes me think that he has a motive for staying close to Xiao Yun. i.e. making use Xiao Yun's supernatural power to see ghost in order to make money. Extra 2 may also suggest that Ji'en might have something to do with Xiao Yun's car accident. But Xiao Yun feels that Ji’en is avoiding her as he would suddenly disappear, this was confirmed by the sudden appearance of Seraph ghost but she doesn’t reveal the real reason. Xiao Yun’s past. LOL, is she making a dig at her own occupation? But after that car accident… She blamed Ji'en that she couldn't become a model. Someone else is unhappy that she has a great figure. We are introduced to obese ghost who died chocking on chocolate balls… The end~
