A reasonable and logical response to the racial demographic in Australia and its potential market in east Asia, this musical/TV drama is seductive to most of its asian audiences because of its casting of an asian character Christian.
A delinquent juvenile, Christian serves as a metaphor of the marginalized asian presence in the cauasian-dominant immigrant country, struggling its way to the mainstream society. Ironically enough, his name itself is "coincidentally" homogeneous to the dominant religous belife of the country, deconstructing the athiest myth of asian beliefs.
The romantization of Christian, the asian boy and the heroine's love story is another selling point that grabs eyeballs of its audiences, but in the same time, a signification of a proposed mainstream ideology for non-mainstreams, recruiting and demonstrating asians the corret and legitimate way to live through the Australian society.
