My though: The first Singapore serie from this year! Its really hard to find any Singapore serie lately! I hope I can find more!
I love the serie! Its a lesson about gambling Not to become a gambler but to stop with gambler is the most important The first time is the luck but after losing its really bad luck that u can't blame anyone! So better not gambling or if you do do it just a little bit! It brings a lot of trouble!!
The storyline was a simple! And to bad from the rushing end! It was possible to add another episode! But all end all good
I love Zzen's performance! He's doing a great job for his first main role! I like the chemistry with Tiffany Leong. It was very funny when he's wooing her. To bad its only in the beginning! Later in the serie it was more about gambling and losing them out of sigh.
Tiffany performance wasn't that great either In my sigh she lost her main role to Xiang Yun! Xiang Yun was really great as gamble auntie!! Only I don't like her hair! LOL
It was also weird to see Tiffany's hair. So short I saw her in Fallen Angels & La Femme with long hair. But short hair suit her more for her performance in here Its more girl-lady instead of lady-lady And . . she is thinner than before? BTW I don't understand her job in here. She hate gambling, but why she's helping people with gambling?? WEIRD
Alan & Priscilla didn't catch an eye of me. I think their performance was really NOT Maybe because I'm not familiar with them I only saw them in supporting roles and I think the supporting roles are much better together than their performance in here!
Summary: [SPOILERS] Lee Caishun is a professional gambler who has mastered various gambling skills and gambles as a career. He believes in a philosophy that to live in the gambling world, the best way is to be a bachelor. Thus, he is still one even as he approaches 30. Caishun comes from a gambling family. His father, Lee Kaishan, loves to gamble. From young, Caishun was brought along by his father as the latter operated gambling dens and under his father’s influence, he became interested in gambling. Caishun has a younger brother named Cailai. Cailai’s personality is the complete opposite of Caishun’s. From young, Cailai has been very clever. He studied hard, graduated from university, and is the pride of the family. Currently, he works in a bank as investment manager with a high salary. Kaishan is in jail as he was repeatedly caught operating gamble dens. Their mother, Qiao-E, went through hardship due to their gambler father, thus she disapproves of Caishun’s decision to follow in his father’s footsteps. But regardless of his mother’s disapproval, Caishun continues in his ways. He helps 24k organize fake funerals which are actually disguised illegal gambling areas and works as “bookie” to earn commission. Caishun is humorous and filial. While helping his mother to buy lottery legally one day, he bumps into a woman and falls in love with her immediately. She is a beautiful gaming company employee, Xu Yuxuan. However, Yuxuan detests gamblers and does not have a good impression of Caishun, who is seen buying lottery. Naturally, she is not moved by Caishun’s courtship. However, fate allows them to meet again. Caishun deliberately hides his gambler identity and lies about his occupation to Yuxuan. Under Caishun’s persistent courting, Yuxuan finally becomes his girlfriend. Yuxuan’s mother, Bi Zhu, is a compulsive gambler and also one of Caishun’s regular customers. She owes Caishun money. As Caishun is an item with Yuxuan, he cannot bring himself to ask her for payment. To make things worse, he’s forced to help Bizhu escape her creditors. Ironically, Bizhu’s eldest son, Guoxing, is a policeman who works in the anti-gambling squad and has previously caught his own mother.
Due to gambling, Bizhu has quarreled with her family numerous times, is not on good terms with Yuxuan and was chased out of the house by the latter once. Her husband died due to over-working as he had to take on multiple jobs to help clear her debts. Bizhu did not mend her ways and gambled away all her husband’s bequest. She even got Yuxuan’s then-boyfriend addicted to gambling, and unable to pay his debts, the latter had subsequently disappeared without a trace. Due to all these events, Yuxuan hates gambling and detests her mother. Guoxing is worried that Bizhu may cause trouble with her illegal gambling ways, and in turn, jeopardize his career. Thus, he gets her to move in with him so that he can keep watch on her. Bizhu promises that she will quit gambling and is prepared to set up a stall at a coffeeshop. Guoxing invests in Bizhu’s stall and even arranges for his wife, Zhenni, to help ensure that his mother abstains from gambling. But little does Guoxing realise that this move would result in Zhenni being led astray, as she eventually gets addicted to gambling as well. As it happens, Bizhu’s food stall is located where Caishun’s collects illegal bets from the punters. The boss of the coffeeshop, Youde, detests gambling and has a bad impression of Caishun who continues to collect illegal bets there. They argue often. Youde is interested in the still-beautiful Bizhu and keeps showering her with care by helping her. Bizhu is happy to be at the receiving end. Yuxuan often sees Caishun with Bizhu and starts to suspect Caishun. The quick-thinking Caishun intelligently finds a ridiculous reason to hide the truth and even lies to Yuxuan that he has gotten close to Bizhu to encourage her to quit gambling. Guoxing sees Caishun escaping while he is on duty one day. This exposes Caishun’s gambler-identity to Yuxuan. Disappointed, Yuxuan breaks up with Caishun. To win Yuxuan back, Caishun decides to quit gambling. Alas at this moment, something shocking befalls his family. The always-sensible and strict Cailai unexpectedly turns to gambling and owes huge amounts in debts. In order to help his brother clear his debts, Chaishun has to return to what he does best, gambling.
Kaishan gets released from jail and decides to quit gambling for good. Seeing that Caishun is still very heavily involved in the vice, he persuades the latter to quit and is forced to tell him the truth about his parentage. As it turns out, Caishun is not Kaishan and Qiao-E’s son. His biological parents were compulsive gamblers who had lost him to Kaishan. Most unexpectedly, Caishun realizes that his father is none other than his nemesis, Youde. Caishun is filled with loathing for gambling ever since he discovers his parentage. Determined to quit gambling once and for all, he seeks professional help to do so. Surprisingly, his counselor is his biological mother. Rid of the vice Caishun begins to help others plagued by problem gambling. He becomes actively involved in counseling and promotional activities for anti-gambling. He finally manages to get Yuxuan’s forgiveness as she accepts him once again, and the couple successfully gets her mother to quit the vice as well. [credits to mediacorp]
